Scooped this Archive video of old school rafting and canoe slalom racing.

Pioneer Canoe Sports (1955): The start of white water rafting in New Zealand.
Original paddlers may enjoy this.

 there. try that link now. I don't know if its my connection, the machine I'm using, or the site itself, but this link is worth checking out.
 
History and Heritige is important stuff, even if it doesn't appear to be so relevant.
 
it would be cool to get some slalom footage online from the 70's and 80's-- 'cuz that's when stuff really started to acceleerate.

Well, give them a break, James... the video has to come all the way from New Zealand and so it's also upside down and has to be flopped for you to watch it.
