I can’t ever remember the name of that climb but it’s the scariest 5.9 ever. It looks chill on the ground but the bulge freaks me out every time
Cool video, will have to check out this undisclosed location now
Moore Kevin Miller Timothy Robinson Shirley
Float during the week and maybe see 1 couple on the river the whole day.
@daveinstlouis7296 yup I agree mid week is always fun. Unfortunately I have to work for a living and can't go during the week.thanks for watching!
Great Vid - I love the Current and Jack's Fork, both are amazing. I haven't done this section but I've heard it might be the busiest stretch of either river.
@natesambo9759 that wouldn't surprise me one bit, haha! I usually seek out more remote areas. This was a neat stretch. Thanks for watching
Great video, Colby! Jacks Fork is my favorite. I was able to float the upper section this year and now can say i've seen that entire leg of the park. It has the most beautiful water!!!
@@rootwad thanks for watching!
I'll be doing this exact float over labor day weekend for the first time. Super excited after watching this. 😁
thanks for watching! have fun!
Love the videos. Me and my wife do a lot of these spots. How do you guys plan shuttling? Drive 2 cars?
@theguy9901 thanks for watching! Yeah, we have driven two cars in the past. Sometimes we pay for a shuttle. Sometimes, convince friends to go with us to help. It just depends on the day, haha!
Congratulations. Gonna pick my Roscoe 7 at noon today. Almost ordered the Marlin 7 Gen 2 with upgrading to tubeless & dropper post so with this one no need. Nice video.
@@LisaRSArt great choice! Thanks for watching! Enjoy the new ride
Hi Colby. I’m going to float this and the Current River from Akers to Pulltite in mid September with my 2 teenagers. I hope they are great floats! I’ve loved watching your vids! We’ve never done this so any tips on day trips?
@shelleysanders8056 Thanks for watching! The best advice is to bring plenty of water, snacks, sunscreen, and a dry bag to keep things dry. There are no glass containers and leave no trace. Have fun!
This or the 8, it's been 2 weeks and i cant make up my damn mind lol Im a beginner to and the 8 version is 1699 and the 7 1270
I was also torn between the two. I'm happy with my decision. They both have the same frame. After I do upgrades, it will be the same bike, no matter if it is the 7 or 8. Enjoy your new ride! Thanks for watching!
@@colby_rogers I got the 7 🚴♂️ I felt the same way, Upgrade when I need to but I have to return it and get a smaller one, I'm 180 cm and got the L but it feels to big and clunky for some reason. It should fit me but it doesn't. I might go for the M or m/l 🤔
@Fishplants hmm interesting 🤔. I am 6 ft, and I like how the large fits me. My brother has a medium, and it feels too small, in my opinion . Hope you end up getting the right one. It's quite the investment but will last many years
@@colby_rogers Does it feel small for your arms or legs ? I think the L fits me for my legs but the reach gets a bit to long 🤔 I'm gonna measure RAD today to see what bike would fit me better
@Fishplants sorry for the delay response. I find the reach to be about perfect for me. Maybe some riser bars would shorten that distance for you. I do get some should pain after long rides. Not sure if it's the long reach or I'm just getting old haha
Just got a cheap kayak...no loops or rails or anything to attach an anchor to. It's a sit on top FISHING kayak. They expect me to drill holes in this thing for accessories??
@Rhiorrha get some tri grip rivets and marine adhesive. It works better than you would expect. There are plenty of forums about how to mount accessories. I'll have to make a video about it next time I mount somthing
Are there any groups where people get together to float. Some experienced and some newbies? Or clubs?
Arkansas Canoe Club & Arkansas Yakking and Kayaking on facebook is a great place to start!
So I think cruising through trails is decrease chances of injury but if you want to go fast and push it than wear more personal protection than just a helmet. Gloves, shoulder, elbow, and knee pads, and full face helmet like the pros that is under their clothing. ligaments and tendon tears takes months to heal like shoulder and wrist. Lower tire pressure for more traction and adjust fork psi for stability in turns and jumps if needed.
@synergytech7323 thanks for the tips! I'm getting too old for injuries. I've had plenty in my days, haha!
I’ve lived in Arkansas all my life. Never got to float the Buffalo. I’m enjoying watching as if I were in the boat.
Thanks for watching!
That's epic bro
@@DavyPete thanks!
How far are those clips that's so bad
Like 10 feet apart maybe. Video makes it look farther I think
Amazing 😮😅
That is a Roscoe 8 btw, I have that same bike love it so far
It's a 7, New generation colour. Probably 2024 Model
Nice 👍
🔥You have probably realized by now that you made an excellent decision to purchase these wheels. There sick ! Congrats 👍
Brave soul to video!
Smiling! Done that in the 70's and 80's all canoes, was surprised to see the yellow raft, guess it's changed a lot over the years, still live in the area but haven't been on the river in 30 years. Last trip was low water and did more pulling the canoes than floating in them, might be why I never did it again. Big Smile! Have had my Jeep Wrangler in and out and crossed it a few times. Never been in a kayak.
When was this?
@@chrisbarnes9438 end of May. We had a little bit more rain than usual this year. Spring is the best time to float this
TY. I figured about that time. Just checking. Love the Buffalo.
These trails are far from boring. Blues are super techy "dark blue" and they have a whole other side open now (trail called Cody Monster) with more trails coming (including some blacks). I visited from Fayetteville where we are surrounded by great trails, and I was impressed.
@julianschroer5965 the black trails coming down the gravity hub are pretty crazy honestly. I may have to do an update video since it's being developed so quickly. Thanks for watching!
Cool im from arkansas. Where is that?
@@JohnCoffins horseshoe canyon ranch. Basically an outdoor climbing gym haha
@@colby_rogers dang that's 100 miles from me 😂
Was wondering if you could recommend a good river for this week in nw arkansas or surrounding areas. I will be with my wife and two kids 9/12 and our dog. Was hoping to rent a couple canoes.
Kings river outfitters has been good to us in the past. Give them a call!
Been there, done that several times. There are some weird creatures living in the outflow of those cold water springs.
It's a beautiful area! Thanks for watching!
What day and month did you do this river.
Mid-July on a Saturday. Surprisingly not a lot of people for a Saturday. The eleven point is still a lesser known spot. I suspect it will get busy in the coming years.
Nice ride! Keep making videos!
@@HammerLane2Hiking thanks for watching!
Great float love that river. Been there many times Baptist to Akers and beyond
Another fascinating float at a phenomenal location - thank you for sharing!!
Thanks for watching!
Really enjoy watching your videos and the detailed description. This is definitely my next destination!
Thanks for watching!
Really enjoy your kayak videos.
@@maryjomccallister9102 thanks for watching!
Do you remember what the water level was? Beautiful in just the first two mins. Gonna keep watching now. ❤
@HammerLane2Hiking water level was under 5 ft on this trip. thanks for watching! I like to include long clips. It gets boring, I know, but I try to get as much of the river as possible.
@@colby_rogers I love it! It's great when I can't be there. Thanks for making the video.
Beautiful river. Great video.
@maryjomccallister9102 thanks for watching!
Do you anchor off the side of the kayak? What about when there is a current or wind? Seems like this would have one side of your kayak facing upwind and the other side would be down wind. Thanks
I have a cleat on either side of my boat. That way I can place the weight on the side of the boat I want. It's defiantly not the best system. However it works for me in most situations. Thanks for watching!
This was my son and I first two day trip ever on the current. We also love Round Spring to two rivers
The current is a great river! Thanks for watching!
I did that float years ago and it got dark before we took out. Nice video Colby.
@@Foomba thank you for watching!
dis my jam
The music fits perfectly.
Trails look a little boring. You have to pay to ride there???? A waste of money considering all of the free trails in NWA.
Yeah, you can hit all the trails in one day if you want to. They are still developing quite a bit. These trails are brand new. I'm a rookie mountain biker, so it's fun for me. I've been climbing at hcr for 10 years, so the mountain bike trails are a bonus. I mostly climb. There is also camping, food, zipline and a pool. Luxury adventure, haha! Defiantly not a mountain bike destination.
Thanks for watching!
Where do you recommend purchasing a kayak - tired of renting.
Ozark Mountain Trading Company. They have everything you would need. Used and new. They do free repairs for life if you buy a boat from em
What time frame (month) did you float this area? What month do you recommend?
@DavyPete march to may
What month did you hike this trail?
This was early March after a good rain. This hike is rainfall dependant. I recommend going during the spring. Summertime is usually bone dry. Fall/winter is hit or miss. The fall colors are incredible no matter the rain fall.
Recent subscriber here - been watching all your videos and I really enjoy your content - resulted with me floating the Buffalo National River with the love of my life!
@DavyPete thanks for watching! It's a beautiful area. Endless adventure opportunities
Everyone has their preference on what's the most beautiful section of the Buffalo. They are all nice, but we prefer those that are off the main highways, you know, the sections where you can actually see the water and it's not bumper boats lol. The entire river is the most beautiful overall that we have in the state. Highly recommend going in early Spring or Fall to avoid the casuals/drunks. For those that fish for smallmouth while floating, the further you go downstream the fishing gets better. Can you catch smallies the entire river? Yes.
Yup, I agree. I have caught some decent fish near Carver. It's getting overpopulated now. I try to hit it during a weekday just so I can get some peace and quiet. Sucks when there is a hundred cars at the put in / take out. I've floated ponca to tyler Bend. I plan to do the bottom sections next season
Great video. I really like your helmet. Please tell me what the model is. Thank you!!!
It is the smith engage mips. Great helmet! www.rei.com/product/216583/smith-engage-mips-bike-helmet?redirect-pup=false
Looks so dope! I was wanting to get out here this past winter, but never did.
Its a sick spot! Parking is super limited. 2 cars max. its hard to get out there on weekends. Fall/Winter is prime season
What cam/phone were you using while riding?
gopro 9! Looking at a 360 camera for my next investment
