❤❤❤ I used to paddle 30, maybe 35 years ago. FYI, the current medical system is ancient. There are what they call medbeds being circulated around the world at this moment. Quantum tech shit that can remove 50 years ...Im 65...they can take me back to my 20's anyhow. 😂😂😂 Absolutely love your videos. Thanks. Hope to see you on the water. I always paddled Dagger C1. Did the New about 30 times. Once at ten ft. 45 minute flush. I did the Gauley once. Did well except for at the botton of "devils staircase"? I got window shaded about 8 times....but the rest of it, did great. Your vids get me fired up. ❤❤❤

Yeah the crux was a tricky line with all the wood, I was important to keep good speed in the last hole and punch left. We had two people in our crew walk it.
@projex48
@projex48 3 месяца назад
That was my friend with the pitoned antix and dad with the broken paddle, lol. We still don't know exactly what my friend pitoned on, and my dad's paddle broke right about where you see him swimming at mini-gorge, I suspect his blade got pinched in some rocks. Crux was definitely pretty dirty that day, with the amount of wood in there and the higher flow. Normally the rapid is much more straight-forward. For the paddle - I traded my dad and single-bladed out from mini-gorge, which turned out to be pretty fun. Also - it's a long drive, but you should check out BeaverFest in NY.

Think I may have talked to you at the take out. Blue hot whip? I didn’t even realize there was somebody in the middle of the river at mini gorge until I watched the playback, wasn’t sure what was going on there. At the time I was so juiced I was just worried about myself lol.. makes sense now tho because I do remember a crew debating carrying the blue rewind out of the gorge. West fork tuck was sick, glad I was out there with you guys, probably my biggest stout so far, maybe next time I can get the crux too. Relatively new boater (2 yrs paddling whitewater) still have a lot of rivers to get checked off… Beaver fest looks wild and is on my radar. Wanting to get gauley fest checked off the list too. I’m in Arkansas though so they are both a journey.
@projex48
@projex48 3 месяца назад
Yup, that's me! Pending the wood is cleaned up the next time you visit, I'd definitely say to go for the crux. When the line isn't effed up there's normally a crew there making sure everyone gets out of the hole alright. I actually haven't been to gauley myself, I will probably make it out there this year though. If you make it out to gauley, make sure to get some pepperoni rolls somewhere along the way.

Looks like a fun run! One thing consider widening your hands on the paddle shaft out to the bent section. Don't be a close gripper.
@jackkayak
@jackkayak 3 месяца назад
I find the werner bent shaft position to be a couple inches too wide. Especially if the blades are small like the freestyle paddle he’s using, a slightly narrower grip gives more leverage and allows for more vertical, optimal strokes. It appears he’s paddling an OG which is extremely wide, so every bit more blade he can get in water helps.

Not to diminish your accomplishment because its still a rough, even modestly dangerous rapid but it has been pretty well accepted that at low water, and anything under 1000 would definitely fit this category, Pine Creek is a IV+ at most. I make this comment not to be an armchair expert but to keep the beta realistic so any viewers can more accurately gauge this drop against their own skill levels. Really you need to start seeing 1,500+ cfs for this to resemble class V by modern standards. Even Colorado Rivers & Creeks ("the Bible" of Colorado whitewater) agrees with me and it first came out in the 90s

Yeah, not a lot of people admit swimming, but it happens a lot. I’m glad your bud is ok. My swim, well, it’s my favorite section of clear creek, also a meat grinder. It really hurt, and paid for lack of speed. I teach newer boaters speed is your friend, because it is. Anyways, good to just have lighthearted fun watch non-consequential swims.
