That dude getting pinned under that rock..
I watched a video once where a guy just went in a hole and there was literally like never a sign of him a gain. I think I would love the sport, to an extent

Didn't even watch it all, shit's lame. Guys panicking and flailing that paddle around like it makes a difference when they're mindlessly falling down waterfalls out of control.

Yeah, way cooler than big mountain skiing!

how do normal people doing this get back to the top where they drop? I feel like this is the one thing stopping me from picking it up is that I don't want to have to arrange for transport every time I want to hit up a river

i'm sure that to a more trained eye its actually quite technical. it probably takes a lot of hip control combined with good paddling and an awareness of the water to keep those upright and pointed the right way so as to not go over upside down.

haha lazy skier, backcountry skiers skin for hours to get to the top of a run, or have to hop in a heli and hop out. There is this in skliing as well!

My best friend almost drowned this summer from not pulling his skirt when he flipped. I paddled towards him and he grabbed my kayak though. scared both of us shitless.

but the guy in the beginning brought back some memories i had tucked away

you're the old gaper in the lodge saying that big mountain skiers are just a bunch of wild kids flying off of cliffs and hoping they don't break all their bones.
you couldn't sound any more ignorant.

hahaha even though you sound like a douche, waterfalls are pretty straight forward compared to kayaking through big technical rapids.

Sorry!

You were just stating your personal opinion, but you happened to do it in a pretentious douche way. I thought that looked pretty sick and would love to try it, but i understand why someone might not think it was fun, just don' be a dick about it.

This is pretty cool. If you think about it though, big-mountain skiing has been around longer(as in more publicized) than this cool type of kayaking. When big-mountain skiers first did that stuff, it was viewed the same way. I'm sure in a few years this will be similar, and both sports will be even crazier. :D

the paddle seems relatively useless in those conditions. they are just getting tossed all over the place.

do you guys think that people out of the skiing community look at pro skiers throwing cork 7s of 60 foot drops that they have the same reaction?
