Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it

Yepp

Thanks!

ever forward power 👍

🙏

jack straw that is class five water so you are going to need more skills then a roll, but i believe in you buddy get that roll down

Gotta start somewhere! Get that roll then keep at it till you can run stuff like this!

Sick. Lets say sick again.

Well my boat was fresh when I got to California, its not so fresh now, but holding strong.

🙌

No shit. Rather see the footage not someones music choices.

I actually would have liked to know the songs name. I like that there's some music too.

Nah I’m pretty confident a number of people have done it in a day, but it’s a hell of a day. Cool! Been a minute I guess! Wish the games were still around!

Lol...All of them. You need to focus on whitewater in your own back yard. buddy. It's not just the skills but the awareness gained through hours of river running. If you are asking this kind of a question you don't really understand what you are seeing..Be safe out there guy. The obituary is full of guys with great skills.

I dont know what dane is using, but i bet its the HF turtleback strap system.

@@parkerlittle567 any idea if you have to mount them or if they attach to what's already there. I've never seen them before and they look like a great idea!

@@marcusmaximus77 sorry, but i have no idea how they work :(

Upvote this, would love to see his setup looked sweet. Dane make a video of that!

Some slides can definitely hurt, but that one you are moving pretty fast and the rocks are super smooth so rarely it gives you big hits. I think I ran it like 15 times that summer.

I got it once a few years ago! It was so sick!

It's good to make that distinction

I always like to use 2.7k Superview 60fps. For POV I always find Superview gives the best perspective.

Realistically you just avoid it as much as possible, and as long as you keep the boat straight it is fairly easy to avoid flipping. But if you do catch an edge you try to save it by bracing with your paddle, or protect yourself with your elbows and get upright by rolling up as quick as possible.

This is definitely challenging whitewater, compared to many sections. The steep slides at the beginning are more dangerous than deeper and less steep sections. The rest of the whitewater is challenging, and due to being out in the wilderness you have to be more cautious as well.

@@danejacksonkayak Dane!! I finally got a response. Do you win the Green Race every year? I have always wanted to ask you that. I see other documentaries with other great Kayakers. But you always seem to do the smoothest runs. If you will do me the honor of one more question. Do you own Jackson Kayak? Is it a family company? And finally is your dad Eric Jackson? My dad loves him. Edit: Sorry that was 2 questions! Actually 3!!! Edit 2: Never even thought about the added danger of being out in the wilderness. Thanks Dane for introducing me to such a cool sport. I have been doing much safer runs. Just got a Jackson Kayak too, for my mom. What is best paddle for 65 year old pond Kayaker aka my mom. She is 5'3". Never even made the connection to your last name, which is why I am wondering if you make Jackson Kayaks. Knowing the best Kayaker on earth owns the brand makes me think I did right by my mom on the purchase. Edit 3: Sorry about my rant. Just have so many questions.

Not quite that aggressive but definitely stout 💩

Hidden AF look it up on a river map.

@@robertarredondo2178 nope it’s West Fork Cherry Creek near Groveland CA

Yep, outside of Groveland California

Average guy here. I hunt, fish, hike, love the outdoors. You guys have bigger ba.... than me. No way. I'll hike it.......

John Dalton hey man not me... I’m too scared as well. I raft guide so I’m familiar with whitewater but the same section of river everyday. Not at their level either. Too crazy for me

Kayaking is not as death-defying as it appears. People like Dane are very well-trained and qualified to run this type of water. Average kayakers, like me, insure that we are qualified to run the lesser level of water that we do, all with plenty of safety. It is not risk-free, of course, but the drive to work every day is probably more dangerous.

David Maribo for sure I understand that, I could be a kayaker and I think I could be a really decent one too. I had a wavesport ezg that was too big and a paddle that was too small. As a raft guide I don’t make enough to afford the good gear so that’s part of the reason. I got my roll and my back deck too but just never got back into it. Not to mention a couple different times I nearly accepted water into my lungs lol

chesky baba but imagine swimming with elbow pads

@@Fknheck If I were in that water swimming , believe me, I couldn't be wearing enough padding!

I always have elbow pads, hate not wearing them, but unfortunately I couldn’t find my pair before this lap. Luckily nick flew in with a pair he must’ve stole from me earlier this year

chesky baba no doubt I’ve just never needed them
