On A side note did you make it through the falls, These are at Forest city right? More pic's please and sweet boat...

uhh.. only if you consider "make" getting spun backwards after the first 5 footer in a really aggressive eddy then running the "meat" of the falls backwards holding onto the center thwart like a scared boyscout in a Coleman... As far as I know this video might be the first time this has been run in a canoe?

I tried running it a bunch more times last summer but would get pitched "over the bars" and swim at the bottom of the big falls on the river left line. The river right line you see some of the kayaks doing in the video is more of a slide but too narrow for the XL13 Water was just too low. By the way the rocks in this place are like cheese graters..

Getting solid on these falls in my new 9'2" boat is one of my goals for 2011

The canoe backwards was EPIC!!!!! If only there was a camera on your face on the way down:)

Can't wait to see the video of you running this the L'edge. It should makes things a bit smoother....maybe even forward facing.
