Stand up rider hits a bridge

[Quinc]

It's me.. Part 2 of riding the flood waters, on the way back down and with a chewed up impeller, wear ring and no power the current was able to make me its b1tch. Slammed me right into i5 freeway. Luckily the water held me against the pillar and didn't pull me down or take me back around through the wash.

Love it! I just did the same this past weekend our local lake is getting loads of fresh water coming in and it made for the perfect opportunity to ride some white water. I have a new respect for you nut heads that tackle these kinds of conditions. My skills on a standup didn't apply when there's a wicked current fighting you

Probably 90% of it. The previous ride I could go WOT for a few seconds before it would bounce of the rev limiter. On this ride after running through 3 gravel bars the rev limiter came on instantly unless I feathered her up to speed.

It is normally dry 8 months out of the year.
