Other Whitewater vid. NRG WV

Some whitewater clips I finally put together. First time editing so poor quality.

Poor blue SXR! Hard life for skis with all those rocks, but looks like a cool ride spot.

How about backflips of rapids?!

 

[MADMAT]

Im not much for flatwater riding....but I gotta tell ya, THAT looks like fun bro. Good to see you mixing it up in the video section.

 

[Kawikazi]

Thanks all! We've been riding this for a while studying the diff water levels as they are rapidly changing. New dam licensing in the near future should allow an annual scheduled release season. If this happens it will be a def game changer as far as a future whitewater event. Meanwhile anyone who wants to ride this stuff please ride down. It's not ALL rocks and meat grinders. There's plenty of chocolate lines for the beginners. They're usually more fun too.

.....and TONS of more footage to come stayed tuned

 

[Kawikazi]

And as far as flips and attempts, That was prob mid Jan. Not so brave in the winter waters

 

[MADMAT]

I would love to come ride that! Are you guys running intake grates or do you remove them? Niagara is 90' deep and you don't touch anything! I would hate to take a nice hull up shallow rapids though! I have seen intake grates ripped out!

 

[Kawikazi]

Some holes on this river can be up to 100 ft deep. Some shallower than 6ft. Water level is always changing so it def helps to know how to read water. I've rode all year before without hitting a single rock. This year I've attempted a few unfamiliar streams at unknown water levels and have gutted my hull sooooooo ... But no we leave our grates on. Typically no problems there.

 

[Kawikazi]

Oh yeah, it took 3.5 days for vanilla ice/Sheldon/Carlson to make it down that river. We can do the same stretch, up AND back in half a day. Boooyah!

 

[Quinc]

Have you thought about putting a thin steel/aluminum plate on the bottom of your standups for extra protection?
