Could this be the future of extreme watersports?
Rafa Ortiz trades his kayak for an inflatable pool toy Lobster and then runs a 70ft waterfall!
Some of the finest whitewater edits around, carefully selected by Team Unsponsored ready for Monday morning. Welcome to Movie Monday 5 June 2017.
If you have lots of free time why not check out the hundreds of other edits hidden within our Movie Monday archive.
Water can do some amazing things. Check out this edit from Matt Skuta. It shows the Seven Teacups waterfalls on the Kern river. Simply awesome.
Over the course of the weekend a paddler got into difficulty on the Kisdon Force section of the River Swale, resulting in a need for medical help and helicopter extraction.
Thankfully here in the UK we have volunteers and paid professionals who can help us get out of sticky situations.
I have just finished watching the full version of Chasing Niagara (just over 1 hrs worth of action). It has been available for a while via iTunes at a cost. However it is currently available to watch for free on Red Bull TV.
CHASING NIAGARA follows Rafa Ortiz, a celebrated pioneer of big waterfall kayaking, as he pushes himself to the limit and redefines his sport by daring to dream the impossible – successfully descending Niagara Falls. To prepare for this highly dangerous drop, Ortiz enlists a team of fellow professional kayakers, including Rush Sturges, Evan Garcia, and Tyler Bradt, to help him train and document the process. As they take on lightning fast rapids and massive waterfalls in exotic locales, they soon find that what started as one man’s epic quest, evolves into an intense three-year journey of self-discovery and friendship that forces them to redefine their own definitions of bravery, purpose, and ambition.
Huge waterfalls, near death experiences all captured in such a way that makes Chasing Niagara appealing to both paddlers and non-paddlers. In terms of the way in which Chasing Niagara has been put together and the action within it, it is probably the best kayak related video I have seen.
As a little warm up ready for Movie Monday tomorrow check out – Nick Troutman Runs Cane Creek Falls. It looks bigger from the top!
Jackson Kayak’s athletes Nick Troutman along with Dane and Eric Jackson head to Fall Creek Falls State park to check out the famous Cane Creek Falls.
It’s the start of the summer holidays for some of us here in the UK. There isn’t much water around but that isn’t an excuse for not getting a dose of whitewater action. To save us from the drought here is Movie Monday 18 July 2016.
Del Mare nationals 1975, the Zepher Crew tore the world of competition apart, a punk ass team of misfits from dog town revolutionised the once balletic activity of skateboarding and made it more that it dreamed it could be. Taking it from the ocean to streets.
Did we have that moment in kayaking?
Did we ever have a group, an individual or a sector that made such drastic changes in one quick moment?
In Love With Frank is a superb edit from Seth Dahl. Idaho is a beautiful place and this video captures the beauty of the Salmon River and the surrounding area.
This was a passion project. A love story with a wild place that has impacted my life deeply. For nine guide seasons I’ve worked Idaho’s Middle Fork of the Salmon River, the emerald queen of multiday river trips. She cuts through a 2.5 million acre span of wild, roadless beauty called The Frank Church Wilderness. It is a rugged and raw country. For years I’ve floated by the Middle Fork’s many tributaries and wondered what kind of scenery is upstream. I’ve also thought about the springtime whitewater. This video is an exploration of Rapid River, Loon Creek and Camas Creek with three good friends. They discuss how this area has helped shape their life and how it will continue to.
Deep in the PNW searching for stouts: Torryd Designs – Xenogenesis
Xenogenesis: the fancied production of an organism altogether and permanently unlike the parent.
The boys headed to the PNW for some stouting, and stout they did.
From Will Lyons:
On a whim, my friends Erin and Jordan decided to go run Punchbowl Falls on Eagle Creek, Columbia River Gorge, Oregon. Nicole, Toby, and Ali provided moral support. I grabbed my camera to prove it actually happened. Here’s the story of what went down.
