I got in a few laps and had qutie a bit of fun. Levels were the lowest I have ever done it. I mean the cup was empty baby. Bonalicious but still good times plenty of lines and fast runs with jogs in between.

Thanks James,
two things... first your a nite owl.
second, I wonder if the gauge is out of whack. It sounds like 260 is a new minimum low with 400 being a healthy medium. Or am I missing something?

It was 280 when we got there and 275 when I got home. It could be done lower for sure but it's getting real boney.

So who got the most Laps In yesterday?
POW how many did you end up getting? Did Ryan fufill his promise?
On a seperate note which should be included in the same post as laps etc... On one of my last laps I was putting on behind the group at the seal launch. Everyone in my group was already on the river and waiting. I took a quick peak down below and did not see anyone so I launched off. In mid air I saw against the cliff wall a boater that had run the little undercut just above the seal launch and I could have easily landed on him. The moral of the story is that its cool to have fun on the river but speed and horseplay can quickly get someone hurt if your not responsible. Let this just be a mid season reminder to the dangers of dropping in, and clearing drops before sending the next man down. Thankfully this time everything was ok and the boater that I landed near was very understanding but its a good warning to keep in mind. Keep er safe!

I got in 4 and exceeded my promise. I'll post some video and pics later this evening. I got several of Tom, Leif, Liam, and Jordon. Tobin got a good shot of James and I running Larry's. I tried to get a shot of James but just could catch that bullet speed!

I think it's safe to say you got the most James.
I did get three before my seat gave in. Wish I coulda done a couple more.
Very forgiving level last night, much slower in between drops than at med, med-high flows.

Definitley the lowest I've done it. I like it most around 400. The lines clean up, the holes are still not bad and the pools in between the drops are still reasonable.
