Once again, Timmy, as well as a gnarly Gnarvana whitewater ride, I tuned in for your one-wheel adventure. This time it wasn't just traffic whizzing by, but Snakes too 😯 Thanks for a very detailed review of the kayak on this river run. Very well done keeping your paddle high enough to not hit the sides.
That's amazing. When we ran it years ago it was about 1700 cfs. It looks like a completely different river at this level!
Great review Tim. Looks pretty incredible. Your demos of eddy peel in and out sold me. And watching that bow pop over every pile? Delicious. The man in the parking lot at the end was impressed you’d paddled “the gorge”.
Enjoyed again Timmy, got water in my ears😊
Great video!
Awesome Timmy! 🤟🏻
All the work done on the railroad was amazing! Can you imagine the cost now? That was some of the best scenery yet ( I love gorges )
Great video, the first I've watched! A really nice boat. I have a Funrunner 70, which is also really stable like that, with those edges too.
Dude you came to my hometown canon city?! Hell yeah man! Too bad I didn't see your truck house cruising through that'd been bad ass!
YES new kyak. Loved the journey.
Super cool looking canyon! nice run too!
Badass. Im totally adding a kayak to my future adventures.
Great Job. I have to paddle alone as well. No one else WW, had to shelf rescue a few times but you definitely have to be on top of your game when we are alone. no place to mess up! thanks for the share.
Thanks for this Timmy Kayaks have come so far
The new boat is amazing it looked so simple to operate you made that all look like i could do it and i have no idea how to .
I have to say, the POV kayak videos are my favorite out of all your content. Awesome, Timmy.
Have you paddled Brennan's Wave in Missoula?
Man, you made us wait for those christening rolls. Sweet ride. 🤙
I just subbed to your channel and I’m super hooked and binge watching all of your stuff. I enjoy watching all of your adventures and you are really inspiring as well. Keep up the great work brother!
your not alone....( get ready for Epic videos )....OMG
I’ve been on that bridge. There’s a pretty funny sign up there that says “no fishing”. It’s a tourist area but it’s beautiful place. Never seen it from the river. Thanks for sharing Timmy!
Thanx for taking us for the ride timmy
That is a beautiful run Timmy , thanks for the cool video. I walked across the bridge a few years back, that thing is almost 1000 feet above the water, I wanted to fat tire bike ride through the canyon along the river but they don’t let you, I might have to kayak that someday 😎🤟
Man, I subscribed only recently but I'm in love with every bit of content you put out! Living the dream!
Best on you tube if you ask me !!!!
They have the Superman swing at the top next to the bridge. Swings you out over the gorge and river below. Very cool to see it from the bottom looking up.
So cool Timmy! ❤️
The rapid after the white caretakers house is called Sunshine Falls. At 400 cfs, 3 lines go: left shoulder, middle boof, and right sneak. And, after Sunshine is the rapid Grateful Dead. The Narrows where you saw the suspension bridge is a no swim zone due to rebar, metal bars and other nasties along the bank river left, as well as undercuts river right. I found one undercut a few months ago. Glad you got on and enjoyed the Gnarvana. My son and I are huge fans of JK boats.
Hay Tim love your videos, I live in the canon City area. And would love to meet you next time if give you a ride update mile hill and your videos are awesome. I love watching all the adventures you have posted on your channel next time you’re through maybe let people know you’re coming this way and I bet you’ll be surprised on the amount of people that’ll go out of their way to help you out. Thanks for the great content. Preston
Found a good you review of the old Nirvana vs Gnarvana ( made my decision for the Gnarvana) ...like yours ( makes sense now) lol
So awesome
Thanks for the review, I just got a Gnarvana in the same color and am glad to know it handles well even on low water. I'm just starting out and still limiting myself to class 2-3 in low flows since I paddle alone. Rare to find other ww paddlers here in the Philippines, but lots of rivers (that never get cold) where I live.
ive got one:)
😮 wow 😮
I white water kayak cant wait two try it
You should come down to extreem northwest CA and hit all three forks of the Smith. Were close to the the Klamath, the Chetco and the Rouge. I live right off the Smith Id be down to set up shuttles and have a killer set up. Your welcome to park on my land and enjoy. I have a two person ww canoe set up w float bags if you want to do some cool stuff. I love your style bro.
I was looking down below but then I saw the bridge and I was like holy cow that is very high.
Love your channel been subbed for a while but can’t get on you tube much
I always enjoy your videos.. also, we have identical Gnarvana’s!! Quick question.. where did you get your beautiful wooden paddle? I tried a friends RivrStyx by Jim Snyder this weekend & really enjoyed it. I hear Snyder is no longer taking orders though. Anyway, keep on trucking and letting us ride along!!
I've been on that Royal Gorge bridge. That thing is scary. It's a loooong way down.
You skerred that doe lol 😆 looked like an easy run considering all the tough ones you've done.
Have you experienced a carving skip boof yet ? I finally discovered it last summer after I too, had a born again, experience with the modern bow, mega rocker !……. Makes me giggle like Burt Reynolds
Hello timmy Good morning σου εύχομαι μια πολύ όμορφη μέρα να έχεις 💋
💜
Morning you!
Timmy shows up for an unknown Class 4+, with no beta... Classic.
lol
P.s hopefully your one wheel is safe unlocked (YIKES) ....as for the Deer and wildlife shot (unreal), nature is a beautiful thing (OMG)
Great vids the new Knar vana its a great boat I actually like the old Nirvana a lil better and now they have a new one FYI peeps can get a old one cheaper The new one may be a lil more stable that bow is huge I had too move seat as far forward as I could
Thanks man!
It has been two decades since I ran the Royal Gorge of the Arkansas, and it was q bit higher back then, so I only recognised a few spots on the river, but I do remember that it is also a nice run at higher levels.
Since you came from an Eskimo Salto (what model of Salto do you have? They made three and I own(ed) the first two models.), how well would you say the Gnarvana comes up after drops? That's one of the things I like the most about the Salto for steep creeking. I am also very curious to hear what you think of the Jackson plastic compared to Eskimo plastic.
When were you there? Might have missed it in the details.
You made that look so easy. I'm guessing it was not easy you just have to skill to make it look that way.
Buck that 9r now
Hey Timmie Great Video...curious the size ie Large or Medium ( they have both in a town 1hr away from me) I am 6'4 225lbs.....before I purchase thought I would check with you!!!
I believe he mentioned that it was 91 gallon, so that would be the medium size. I’m thinking the large would be perfect for you. It’s a great boat! I am loving my gnarvana medium.
I wonder what kind of fish that water holds?
Saw a bunch of them at Gauley Fest this this year. Reminds me of my old Noah SQ. 10 ft. displacement hull. It was made about the year you were born. Lol
I wish we could meet, w are a lot alike.
I drive a 94 F350 crew cab long bed 4wd but with a 460 gas.
Do you have an email you can share?
Been to Alaska multiple times and would love to be able to drive there but Canada has some really tough demands.

Hey, where did you get that paddle?
Jim Snyder custom made it for me.
First guy I thought of when I saw that paddle boy do I miss good old WV
@@TruckHouseLife you really know how to live thanks for sharing!
🚣♂️👍🏻❤️
Only if my UA-cam channels kicks off.
dont lose your dry suit.
Was that a woman sunbathing on a rock by the water? I know I'm not the only one that saw the glimpse of that right? Almost like you looked over and oops!
