Middle fork of the Salmon
we danced the hibidy dibidy on the deck for a good 5 minutes in Velvet Falls. Then bottoms up. Look close and you can see my buddy trying to pull us out of the whole is loosing his shorts.
Here are a couple shots I took over Memorial Day Weekend.
Here is some comedy.
Oh shit, brah.

hey Rootskier is that Big Timber MT.?
sir endo - looks like the MF was about 5.5 or so. That hole does get a bit sticky at that level. Had a buddy surf it in a kayak for several minutes ( on purpose ), then got tired and tried to get out. Couldn't. Several rafts ran the hole while he was in there. Got run over a couple of times. then he almost made it out launching onto the bow of a raft that didn't have peeps in it. But slipped off and got worked some more. Pretty funny really cuz he's a great boater and hardly ever swims, but did that day.Quote:

Keep missing pics on this thread so I had to get on the thread. I will try to scan and post some of my old guide pics.
We need that in higher res.

Sorry to laugh at your pain, but the nutcracker drop and the misty flip rapid were quite impressive.Quote:

Been there.
Eirikainer "looking less than" Sharp, dayum, you had a tough day in dudeville.
The look of dread on my friend's face is fantastic. And he's even considering a trip to Futaleufu, Chile with us.

That is a bad ass photo. Kinda made my insides tickle. I wish it were boating season down south.

I gave up on embedding. It was mean to me.
That flip and re-flip at about 2:15 was pretty wild. I really enjoyed it.Quote:

The best part is that the dude on the front left is still going for the paddle tap on the rock.
Looks like they probably paddled the whole river with the bow in the air. There seems to be a lot of weight in the stern...
Probably a bunch of beer,after all ...they are raftersQuote:

Can you explain anymore about this line? Having never boated back east, I have no idea, but the guide looks like a chump in this video... driving the boat waaaay too hard river left, with a terrible ferry angle, and doesn't even go for the high-side (as opposed to the guide in that Alarm Clock photo)... just pretty much gives up.Quote:

We had done the lower the day before (apparently without him paddling at all) and when he saw us coming up on this class V the next day, he finally started paddling aggressively and that pushed us well off our intended line.
I guess that's what happens when you take an inexperienced paddler into serious whitewater. He usually adapts well to situations like that, but having never been in whitewater before, he just kind of freaked out. We still had a great time though and that swim was definitely the most memorable experience of the trip.
hehehe, sorry, but that guy either meant to dump ya, or really wasn't paying attention. I'm betting on option one!!!Quote:
