Colorado Cut Short


After my California plans became shot, I decided to hop on and ride out to Colorado with Adam Goshorn and Matt Wallace. Unfortunately my trip was cut short because of a shoulder dislocation after 5 action packed days of paddling. Thanks to Dave and Kat Levitt, Sammantha Brunner, Boyd Ruppelt, Adam Goshorn, and Matt Wallace for there help with my shoulder and getting my boat out of the gorge. You can look forward to Ryan Moore's carnage segment to see this incident. Check out Adam's video, click here.

LVM GIANT SLALOM RACE: SOUTHEAST


Being a creek boater in a family of slalom boaters I decided to head to the Green and race the giant slalom race. The race consisted of a down river race from the confluence of Big Hungry creek to the pool above pencil sharpener, and a slalom race over the slides below Gorilla. Unfortunatly I had to leave before me seconed run on the slalom course so my overall placement was not vert good. Overall I thought the race was awesome, it was well orginized, a great idea, and a ton of fun. Hopefully we will see this race for years to come.hr

Great Falls Race

Bit the bullet and packed up the car with Matt Wallace for the 10 hour drive to DC. Having never been there we had one day to learn the lines and figure out a race strategy. The race went well and I came out 14th. It was cool to be racing on class V, five minutes from the White House. Thanks to Ryan Moore for the hospitality and not killing Matt when his dog ate Matt's throw up.
