Jon Lugbill - 1989 World Championships Canoe Slalom, Savage River, USA 

Was lucky enough to paddle/winter-train with John and Davy Hearn and Scott Shipley in Cultus Lake B.C. the winter before this race.. also watched this run and Richard Fox’s winning run in K1👍✌️

Richard’s run if you’ve not seen it- ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rcrfGR1UHYg.html - he was entirely dominant in the sport at this time✌️

@@uulhnim Men's Kayak is tight, for him to win with a touch is incredible. Says volumes about his skill. Boat never stopped moving, the move at the bottom, geez.

Yes it was know and his reputation at the time (when the top twenty paddlers would not uncommonly occupy/be-within the same 5seconds of each other) to be THE ONLY of the top paddlers to be able to afford a touch and still win.. no wonder his nickname at the time and in racing circles of a certain tenure (OLD pri#ks😁) remains King Richard🙌

re Richard: I think Chris McCormick summed it up quite well with a shake of his head and, “Foxy’s fast.” (At the 79 Worlds if I correctly remember)
