Thunderdome 

You can hear our intrepid kayaker making the characteristic "panic grunts" throughout the meatier part of the video, indicating he is getting his ass kicked. Not that it matters when your roll is bombproof, lol. Well done, a braver man than I.

For anyone that doesn’t know what this feels like. Just stick to the video. It’s absolutely terrifying. Don’t try this at home.

Some of the best paddlers in the world have learned right here!!!!!! You guys are fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This kinda reminds me of my first time in the New River Gorge. The river was right at 12 feet and big eddy walls. Whale hole was huge and Seldom Seen was a bunch of moving, exploding waves. Absolutely loved it in my Seda Dart, but the trees in the river were scary...

Those are the most terrifying eddy fences and boils I've ever seen.

I think you guys definitely get the “bomb-proof roll” merit badge,

Brilliant paddling well done

I paddled back in '70-71 ish. C1 , heavy boat sluggish but stable. Hard to tell , but @7:25 or so that looks like what we used to call "Difficult run ,md side". Once, while waiting my turn to surf the stacks, I was holding onto a rock with a buddy in his boat next to me. The rock started sinking. Next thing, "TREE!" Someone shouts. I watched a 40 foot long tree with a 15-18 foot diameter rootball "lumber(sorry😂) through. Most amazingly, I could feel the vibrations as it scraped the river bed. You guys are amazing in those "sports cars!"

Exceptionally difficult water! Constant jet failure, whirlpools, swelling.It's more dangerous than jumping from a waterfall.

Fascinating to see you guys paddling at these levels. Greatly appreciate all the videos posted. The river changes so much with every .5 on the gauge, but 6 to 8 recently is a raging beast. You’re in a Rewind, not a Code?? Me thinks you’ll do it again, maybe not next week.

"That was terrifying." Really? Really? Terrified is much more calm and serene than I would be able to muster on that. To me, it looked like being within an inch of your life. I would never have guessed that you'd have time to be terrified. For me, it would have been the zombie stare from the moment I entered the water. Seeing exploding boils from shore is enough to make me soil my wet suit. And on top of that you have wooden alligators floating around everywhere you look. Yeh, that was death on steroids. All I can say is that you guys have the skillz. Way to send it!

Two men enter One man leaves...

2:31 H.O.L.Y Christ... Edit: Recognize that sound you made at 2:40 well, I've unfortunately made it plenty! Lmfao, the "I can't believe I'm still in my boat and breathing" exhale!

I have no idea why this was recommended to me, but sooooooo coll soooo scary

Wow, that is scary.

I can confidently say that I'll never do a river at that level, y'all are insane

Great Falls Maryland!!! Potomac!!! Been there done that!! Remember the flood of I think 1985? We were paddling that same shit with fiberglass, slalom race boats !!! we found half of one of them 30 feet up a tree by the feeder canal couple weeks later when the water came down (Kirk Simon‘s boat - Eric Jackson’s cousin, rest in peace). Huge exploding waves and bathtub effect to the max. Huge trees going by regularly. Whirlpools. Not unlike Zambezi 6 yrs ago or Highwater Colosseum on the Ottawa at 18 about six years ago also Zambezi in a rockstar will always be the craziest!!

What’s the name of the river?

What river was this

Where is this??

💕Wow💚💚💚💜💜💜

ahahahha hell yeah

Mad asf

Well it's little more water than the Ocoee while surfing Grumpy

There are some hair-rising stories about this part of the Potomac at high levels. The Jumps.

Gnarly

I got flipped and pinned on a large rock by the current of the river I was in, I was only waist deep and to feel that kind of power…. I was in 4 feet of water and I couldn’t stand up Whoa

ahh yes. The art os being waterboarded.

Seriously big water. Other level. Be safe out there.

⁉Ya that looks Fun & SAFE🎯

2:45 guy in red boat river right ( big balls beating )

Jealous...

Yo to scared to subscribe hahaa

😂😂😂😂

A madest team haha yas could accomplish anything

Nah

Looks scars

Not worth it.

These guys shouldn’t have launched. Clueless hanging out is the massive eddies instead of the main current as can be seen by multiple rolls.

Wich is it river?
