Eli Helbert managed to crank out this goldie on the Rio de Oro last week while filming for The Canoe Movie (www.thecanoemovie.com). This was shortly before running 40′ La Gloria Falls. Nice Stroke, Eli.
Every year, a posse of wierdo’s from the Ocoee get together and go squirtboating. Part competition, part support group, these guys ride the bottom of the river. Here’s some shots from the editing room floor, a taste of what’s to come. See the rest of the river in upcoming LVM 32.
We’ve been traveling lately to get fresh carnage for everyone. Here’s some from the Malbaie, a few hours north of Quebec City. LVM 32 is coming along nicely with some more Malbaie, plus Romaine, Stikine, Iskut , and token Cali and Green segments.
The recent rains caused the Toxaway River near Cashiers, NC to rise well above flood stage. This created some significant morphological responses, most notably a few landslides on the gorge walls. The rapid affectionately known as “Punji Stick” was modified with a VW Bug sized boulder. Check it out below:
The recent rains in the southeast left some impressive marks in the Toxaway gorge. Nick Urquhart, Baker Davenport, and Will Lyons went down to check it out.
Here’s a good line from the recent Romaine trip. This picture is of the Tall One Trip Kinney boofing into camp on day 4 of the Romaine. Be sure to check out LVM 32 for more from that, as well as an a$$ kicking good time on the Stikine River.
Here’s a still image captured by Jon Shannon on a recent trip to the Romaine up in eastern Quebec. Be sure to check out LVM issue 32, coming soon, for more Romaine footage and sights of a river being dammed. That’s the real digger.
We like to save our best content for our subscriber DVDs, but wanted to share this piece with everyone. Right now in Canada there are literally hundreds of dams being built from the East to West Coast of the country. Other than to raise awareness we have no idea how to stop/slow it down. If you ever wanted to kayak in Canada best make your move.
