That's amazing. When we ran it years ago it was about 1700 cfs. It looks like a completely different river at this level!

@gaynel618 Год назад

Once again, Timmy, as well as a gnarly Gnarvana whitewater ride, I tuned in for your one-wheel adventure. This time it wasn't just traffic whizzing by, but Snakes too 😯 Thanks for a very detailed review of the kayak on this river run. Very well done keeping your paddle high enough to not hit the sides.

@returningtoearthtv8836 Год назад

Great review Tim. Looks pretty incredible. Your demos of eddy peel in and out sold me. And watching that bow pop over every pile? Delicious. The man in the parking lot at the end was impressed you’d paddled “the gorge”.

@craig4557 Год назад

All the work done on the railroad was amazing! Can you imagine the cost now? That was some of the best scenery yet ( I love gorges )

@WesleyHansen-vx1my 2 месяца назад

Great video, the first I've watched! A really nice boat. I have a Funrunner 70, which is also really stable like that, with those edges too.

@johnpeddicord4932 Год назад

Enjoyed again Timmy, got water in my ears😊

@frommthecountry6888 6 месяцев назад

Dude you came to my hometown canon city?! Hell yeah man! Too bad I didn't see your truck house cruising through that'd been bad ass!

@carriemainquist757 Год назад

YES new kyak. Loved the journey.

@tysonsmudfossiladventures3468 Год назад

Great Job. I have to paddle alone as well. No one else WW, had to shelf rescue a few times but you definitely have to be on top of your game when we are alone. no place to mess up! thanks for the share.

@stevehicks9374 Год назад

Awesome Timmy! 🤟🏻

@lesabre1972 Год назад

I was looking down below but then I saw the bridge and I was like holy cow that is very high.

@tysonklemm8522 Год назад

The new boat is amazing it looked so simple to operate you made that all look like i could do it and i have no idea how to .

@The_Lost_Alaskan78 Год назад

They have the Superman swing at the top next to the bridge. Swings you out over the gorge and river below. Very cool to see it from the bottom looking up.

@DoctorHayduke Год назад

I have to say, the POV kayak videos are my favorite out of all your content. Awesome, Timmy. Have you paddled Brennan's Wave in Missoula?

@traderryan713 Год назад

Badass. Im totally adding a kayak to my future adventures.

@pbuehner Год назад

Great video!

@lesabre1972 Год назад

Thanx for taking us for the ride timmy

@HeinousHaggis Год назад

I just subbed to your channel and I’m super hooked and binge watching all of your stuff. I enjoy watching all of your adventures and you are really inspiring as well. Keep up the great work brother!

@Whistler326 Год назад

your not alone....( get ready for Epic videos )....OMG

@corle57 Год назад

I’ve been on that bridge. There’s a pretty funny sign up there that says “no fishing”. It’s a tourist area but it’s beautiful place. Never seen it from the river. Thanks for sharing Timmy!

@blueman5924 Год назад

Man, you made us wait for those christening rolls. Sweet ride. 🤙

@Likon989 Год назад

Man, I subscribed only recently but I'm in love with every bit of content you put out! Living the dream!

@Whistler326 Год назад

Best on you tube if you ask me !!!!

@stevep2852 Год назад

That is a beautiful run Timmy , thanks for the cool video. I walked across the bridge a few years back, that thing is almost 1000 feet above the water, I wanted to fat tire bike ride through the canyon along the river but they don’t let you, I might have to kayak that someday 😎🤟

@WVWes Год назад

Super cool looking canyon! nice run too!

@DejanSmaic Год назад

The rapid after the white caretakers house is called Sunshine Falls. At 400 cfs, 3 lines go: left shoulder, middle boof, and right sneak. And, after Sunshine is the rapid Grateful Dead. The Narrows where you saw the suspension bridge is a no swim zone due to rebar, metal bars and other nasties along the bank river left, as well as undercuts river right. I found one undercut a few months ago. Glad you got on and enjoyed the Gnarvana. My son and I are huge fans of JK boats.

@prestonloeber1694 Год назад

Hay Tim love your videos, I live in the canon City area. And would love to meet you next time if give you a ride update mile hill and your videos are awesome. I love watching all the adventures you have posted on your channel next time you’re through maybe let people know you’re coming this way and I bet you’ll be surprised on the amount of people that’ll go out of their way to help you out. Thanks for the great content. Preston

@jodyreay733 Год назад

So cool Timmy! ❤️

@ktmcc4360 Год назад

You should come down to extreem northwest CA and hit all three forks of the Smith. Were close to the the Klamath, the Chetco and the Rouge. I live right off the Smith Id be down to set up shuttles and have a killer set up. Your welcome to park on my land and enjoy. I have a two person ww canoe set up w float bags if you want to do some cool stuff. I love your style bro.

@Whistler326 Год назад

Found a good you review of the old Nirvana vs Gnarvana ( made my decision for the Gnarvana) ...like yours ( makes sense now) lol

@bwisit24 Год назад

Thanks for the review, I just got a Gnarvana in the same color and am glad to know it handles well even on low water. I'm just starting out and still limiting myself to class 2-3 in low flows since I paddle alone. Rare to find other ww paddlers here in the Philippines, but lots of rivers (that never get cold) where I live.

@TruckHouseLife Год назад

ive got one:)

@2Morethings Год назад

So awesome

@halieorr22 Год назад

I always enjoy your videos.. also, we have identical Gnarvana’s!! Quick question.. where did you get your beautiful wooden paddle? I tried a friends RivrStyx by Jim Snyder this weekend & really enjoyed it. I hear Snyder is no longer taking orders though. Anyway, keep on trucking and letting us ride along!!

@mikemontenza4456 Год назад

I've been on that Royal Gorge bridge. That thing is scary. It's a loooong way down.

@donnanhuggler8451 Год назад

Love your channel been subbed for a while but can’t get on you tube much

@777PLove Год назад

Great vids the new Knar vana its a great boat I actually like the old Nirvana a lil better and now they have a new one FYI peeps can get a old one cheaper The new one may be a lil more stable that bow is huge I had too move seat as far forward as I could

@TruckHouseLife Год назад

Thanks man!

@daneboro6847 Год назад

You skerred that doe lol 😆 looked like an easy run considering all the tough ones you've done.

@zoizisi5598 Год назад

Hello timmy Good morning σου εύχομαι μια πολύ όμορφη μέρα να έχεις 💋

@mantorak Год назад

Have you experienced a carving skip boof yet ? I finally discovered it last summer after I too, had a born again, experience with the modern bow, mega rocker !……. Makes me giggle like Burt Reynolds

@walthanas Год назад

It has been two decades since I ran the Royal Gorge of the Arkansas, and it was q bit higher back then, so I only recognised a few spots on the river, but I do remember that it is also a nice run at higher levels. Since you came from an Eskimo Salto (what model of Salto do you have? They made three and I own(ed) the first two models.), how well would you say the Gnarvana comes up after drops? That's one of the things I like the most about the Salto for steep creeking. I am also very curious to hear what you think of the Jackson plastic compared to Eskimo plastic.

@oldcrow9495 Год назад

When were you there? Might have missed it in the details.

@Whistler326 Год назад

P.s hopefully your one wheel is safe unlocked (YIKES) ....as for the Deer and wildlife shot (unreal), nature is a beautiful thing (OMG)

@Whistler326 Год назад

Hey Timmie Great Video...curious the size ie Large or Medium ( they have both in a town 1hr away from me) I am 6'4 225lbs.....before I purchase thought I would check with you!!!

@halieorr22 Год назад

I believe he mentioned that it was 91 gallon, so that would be the medium size. I’m thinking the large would be perfect for you. It’s a great boat! I am loving my gnarvana medium.

@Chris-ut6eq Год назад

You made that look so easy. I'm guessing it was not easy you just have to skill to make it look that way.

@lesabre1972 Год назад

I wonder what kind of fish that water holds?

@mikemontenza4456 Год назад

Buck that 9r now

@kevindavidson1133 Год назад

Saw a bunch of them at Gauley Fest this this year. Reminds me of my old Noah SQ. 10 ft. displacement hull. It was made about the year you were born. Lol I wish we could meet, w are a lot alike. I drive a 94 F350 crew cab long bed 4wd but with a 460 gas. Do you have an email you can share? Been to Alaska multiple times and would love to be able to drive there but Canada has some really tough demands.

Was that a woman sunbathing on a rock by the water? I know I'm not the only one that saw the glimpse of that right? Almost like you looked over and oops!
