Thanks for sharing that Gamblor! That was awesome

some of those photos are fricking insane! that white water rafter at the end…what the hell

Kayak, not raft Yeh amazing though isnt it!! I love how there is a guy just on the rock face on photographers left of the falls. I’m guessing he was taking photos or footage because from that spot there is no point in setting up safety.

yeah that kayak one had me going “WTF?”

the other one I spent a lot of time on was the calloused hands shot

can anyone explain to me how the guy on the kayak ISN’t going to die???

He will be landing into a deep pool of airated water from the falls. The airated water makes it a softer landing. He will also pencil into the water, and then resurface. I cannot see the bottom of it properly, so i cant tell how much the water is recirulating, but most of the water is probably pushing away from the bottom of the falls so he will flush out

cords, here is a video of that waterfall run. He did snap his paddle and sprain his wrist. Was a world record descent

edit: oops! fixed, thanks dean

does not compute

Woah.. !

wow thanks for sharing that vid. That was frign CRAZY! I know you explained it and I do get it but it still looks like death! so nuts!

that is friggin insane
