road trips and raft carnage

I am finally back from the northwest to hit up the colorado season. Here is a wrap up of some pictures left on my camera and a short video I made of the northwest creeking competition. enjoy.

Brian on a low volume horseshoe falls. I swear I did more than just this run

Why is this tree green?

Not a great picture, but the lochsa is awesome

Warning: High quality carnage below

Truss and Celestial

Here are some boating pictures so far. Sorry mom.

I was a little nervous for this drop, but as someone told me in the pool above. "you don't want to look at it, that will scare you more." Damn you Evan

Class V playboating

Evan styling it with a good line, bad boat

Drinking at Scott Baker's house talking about boating when out of nowhere he says we should go run Celestial. Of course, after a few PBR's this sounded like a fantastic idea. That is until the morning when Scott woke me up off the couch to actually head off and run it. There is a sketchy seal launch into it and once you are in the pool you have to commit. I had abandonment issues when Scott disappered over the horizon line and left me alone to deal with my nerves. As I saw it though, It would only be really scary for about three seconds. Some of the craziest three seconds of my life. I had a great line and the hit was surprisingly soft on the huge boil/pillow. Cleanest 48 footer in the world.

Jealous much

Sorry everyone, not having a computer has left me blogless. It was a good idea, but I just can't update pictures that often. Here are a few off my camera. If you are looking for cool kayaking pictures Evan posted some of us on the Green Truss on Facebook that are entertaining. Also, check out http://thehydrofusion.blogspot.com/ to see pictures of celestial falls. enjoy and have fun in school suckas.



It was nice of Snowbasin to open up this run right when I got there on a bluebird day



Training for the powder 8 championship. Snow basin Extreme (I am the middle tracks)

Bob, they call him bob

Thor's playroom on opal creek (I saw a guy sub out on this bottom hole for four seconds before the bottom of his boat came up upside down)

The seal launch at opal creek into a beautiful box canyon I just threw this in because it was actually sunny this day.
me running metlako falls, you can barely see me but trust me I am there

Mount Hood at sunset.

the beginning

Here we go. Thought I would let my friends stuck in school/work in on my oregon adventures. I will try to update as much as possible, but I don't know how many pretty pictures I will have. ( I don't have a computer)

This idiotic idea began with a top secret trailer session in an undisclosed location atop ranchway. Some said I was crazy, some said I was stupid, some were slurring their speech too much to understand. I am not crazy or stupid or drunk at the moment, but I am broke. In an attempt to cram as much adventure into one season as I can while spending as little as possible, I will be living out of my modified truck in the rainy northwest. I will leave toward the end of january to freeze my ass off, so if anyone is heading that way give me a call and we can go boating. Be warned, I will not run the brine or even an off green colored substitute, but I will be exploring the region looking for anything from class III to easy V. Here are a few of the highlights from the last few seasons.

nelson: nooo nooo ah shit I am gonna get it

Brian on the first drop below ankle breaker. I was nervous and forgot to look at this one on our first lap.
