All of the three gals following the Duo went over, 2/3 rolled, the last swam?

We all miss Bren too. (The Gabon Uncharted video is well worth watching btw.) But the word "send" existed in outdoor/ extreme sports long before the group formed; it's not just for that team, it's for all of us in climbing, skiing, whitewater, and sports that haven't even been invented yet. I'm sure the last thing that Bren (and the others) would want is for people to stop using it; he was all about inspiring people to get out and try new things in the sport. We wish we could see his version of this video. But we think the best way to remember him is whilst sending something yourself. Have a great Christmas.

Glad you enjoyed it. Frohe Weihnachten!

The reindeer have been trying to unionise for years, he must have finally snapped.

​@@ImperialCollegeCanoeClubWe've already had wales attacking boats, the next animal rising is reindeer drowning Santa, soon the pigs and chickens will rise up as well😂

Only the vegans will be safe?

@@ImperialCollegeCanoeClub unfortunately nuance often gets lost in a revolution, so many of us will perish too

It's the World Famous River Kings! Yeah, we might be more of a swimming club than a paddling club at this point, but think it's a good first experience for those who want their paddling a little on the sendy-side. Love the positive attitude you have with the less experienced paddlers you're coaching on your channel btw!

Comme un petit poisson !

@@ImperialCollegeCanoeClub I’m leaving the club for Birmingham. They make better videos.

@@lucilevilleret The canoe club or the swim team?

It was… there were two of us splendidly led in that hole. They had to line us across the river. But no harm, and a good laugh after! :)

Bettering down a river that's too high is a tale as old as time, but Ewan and Liam are the best at telling it since Homer.

I heard that the levels were ideal last weekend; we need less fearful leaders maybe.

It was a good time! Not as sunny as in your video though

"Someone just threw me here, honestly" Is also my go-to response when the people I was paddling with finally find me in the pub.

You know it! 🫳

Half the paddle, twice the man? A couple can be spotted by the observant in this video: ua-cam.com/video/aSnTaQxlOfE/v-deo.html But, in general, we've evolved since the troglodyte beginnings and naming of the club.

You'll walk in pain for the rest of your life!

Yep, that was well spotted. The club were there this summer, and it features heavily in this video: ua-cam.com/video/OQtcVOR7zLM/v-deo.html It's a really great wave and so close to the campsite

It was a scenic walk-the only reason I decided to get out of the boat!

ua-cam.com/video/qhOSmNHi6xs/v-deo.html From 3:00 onwards. (Though I come embarrassingly close to getting stuck in the very same hole again...)

Good to hear you enjoyed it! I think good paddlers just seem to glide over features; I think the lite-beatering adds to the immersion. The camera was a GoPro HERO7 Black. Shooting in 1080. I can't recall the frame-rate or other settings offhand, I'll get back to you.

@@ImperialCollegeCanoeClub Thanks a lot, really appreciate it. Your video shows that even with an older camera you can have great visuals. And, on second thought, I also believe that the light beatering helps with the immersion. I feel a bit like watching myself kayak when watching. ;-)

We Dislocated 7 Shoulders, No. 3 Will Make You Go "That's Criminal Negligence" Enjoyed your short of Top Drop on the Moriston btw

Yep, actually rapping it and making a music video could be fun, but the result would be criminally bad. Saw you getting a bit of grief in the North Wales Facebook group for your Town Falls video-I'm glad they haven't seen ours... (ua-cam.com/video/1YcYZT284cs/v-deo.html)

@@ImperialCollegeCanoeClub yeah I don't think I'm sharing there again

The rhyme scheme is lifted directly from Roll With It, but you're absolutely right it sounds a lot more like Nickelback.

You're welcome! Now that you don't have to train for p*lo anymore, you've freed up time for real paddling with a proper club.

If you want to watch a 1/2-freewheel into attempted shoulder dislocation, you can see that here: ua-cam.com/video/aSnTaQxlOfE/v-deo.html But I'm afraid that the 1/2-freewheel into swim combo is currently beyond us. I've heard rumours of a gnarlier kayaking channel where that might exist, but I haven't been able to find it myself.

@@ImperialCollegeCanoeClub I think youve gotta give the 1/2-freewheel into swim combo another go.😅

0:43 When that stops doing it for you, I find getting stuck upside down, in a hole, directly above a deadly siphon, really gets that adrenaline pumping! The near death experiences are what we kayak for really!

So, at the higher grades, there's a particular "line" (i.e. "route") that one should follow down the rapid; what distinguishes 4 from 5 (and 6) is how hard it is to follow this route and how bad the consequences are likely to be were you to get "off-line". (Therefore, it's subjective and people will disagree.) Here, it's a bit intense and the moves take a little skill; hitting the right line is a lot more fun, but accidentally ending up somewhere you didn't intend to be isn't all that terrible: for example, the hydraulic "holes" won't hold a swimmer and the rocks aren't dangerously undercut. Probably somewhere in the middle of grade 4. A good heuristic might be: If someone offered you $1000 to swim down the section, would you? If absolutely not, then it's grade 5.

Thank you very much for the nice explanation.

Haha we definitely got a little too close a couple of times here. Danke!

The last person I recall shit-talking a rapid was Emilia-telling me she wasn't scared of the Defereggenbach...

You know what Mike, you're goddamn right! You've inspired us to write a new song: ua-cam.com/video/aSnTaQxlOfE/v-deo.html We hope you like it.

Eh I paddle just as badly with a straight shaft tbh. Yeah it's a good run, we only did this section though, maybe the waterfall section's something for the future.

It's on the harder end of the grade-there's a lot of class IV that's easier-but there aren't any especially hard must-make moves (which I think is the distinctive feature of class V). (As you can see, I missed most of the lines and was fine.) That said, was a bit scary paddling it for the first time.

@ImperialCollegeCanoeClub Manu thanks for ur answer bru

I've heard that sometimes people get so feregged on this section that they end up getting taken to Lienz hospital by air ambulance...

I wouldn't be so critical of others if I were you, it's only a matter of time until the Soča Cataract video drops.

It's a great section, beautiful setting also-though you don't get much time to look around. Enjoyed watching your video on the Soča Abseilstecke btw.

Thanks for leading! (Even if insisted on beatering relentlessly and missing all the lines anyway)

Thank you, but the person editing this video is just very (and I mean very) unemployed.

Thanks for that! Haha I'm sure an actual videography student wouldn't be impressed (we're all in STEM), but yeah that was the idea-I think that the tempo is high enough that even when it's not quite right the cuts sort of work as syncopated offbeats

It's the simple things in life, and sometimes that's just standing on a bridge watching five people paddle into the same slot, one after another.

He's good; he just learned a valuable lesson about not blindly paddling off massive horizon lines in a playboat.

"This video is incomplete; you can help by expanding it."

You'd hope so with the massive blades on those carbon werners-one really wouldn't want to fall into a slot with them, they might get scratched.
