"Absolute chaos" | Upper Yough

  • I remember running the Upper Yough as a kid but it had been way too long since I got the chance to run it. I decided I couldn't pass up the chance and rallied up after a sweet weekend at the Gauley. I had only planned on the one lap but once I finished the first day, it was too good not to stay for a another one. So many fun moves to hit down the entire run, just non stop playing. The craziest thing was just how crowed the river was, which might be the most people I have ever seen condensed in such a small run. The best part of the day was seeing the absolute chaos and carnage at National falls, made the whole trip worth it just with that. I definitely won't wait 13 years to go back again.

    This video makes me want be back on the east coast. I loved those lines and that national ruckus. The Yough is the River I learned to boat on. I didn’t realize it at the time but I was truly fortunate to have that treat in the back yard. Great to see you out there absolutely KILLING the game! Stoked for you bro!!! #inspiration.

    used to love the channel but the antix ruined it for me. clearly stern squirts never get old for you, but for the POV viewer they're nauseating! i guess i'm done watching till you get back to running hard stuff in a creekboat again- or you start taking your viewers into consideration (i'm not the only one who doesn't like it) cheers!
