Some great footage in there. I don't really get why he put in so much of the botched line on mesa though.

As a Sponsor of these guys i assure you that Carnage will not be left out!!! From a viewers perspective i know i personally love to see someone stomp the landing, but i like it way more when he does a header off a 40 footer . People want the whole picture, the stuck lines and the blown ones. In our films you can personally hear me root on my buddy as he gets worked and drug along the river bottom, not because i don't love the guy or want him to be ok... just because it's good entertainment and i'm probably the one who has to drop in next!

The double dropping one is
Lower Mesa Falls in Idaho. It crashes 65 ft. down the Henrys Fork
of the Snake River in one big falls (on the right side) or two thirtyish footers back to back on the left side. This was the falls that won Tyler Bradt the best beatdown of 2006 (maybe 05?) when he hits the flake and goes over backwards. Its commonly run, but the shots in the video make it look unreal. I wish I had a heli to follow me around.
I also think the one where it splits and then he goes under a cliff wall for a second is 50/50 on the Ashlu, but I haven't been there for a few years so I may be mistaken. James?
