That has to be the first clean descent in a kayak isn't it?

I mean now its a two man Club...  At least your not alone Rob.

oops. sorry-didn't see your link...

Man, I am jealous! I wish I could do that for a living...except I don't want all the broken bones and stuff...

chip, i would guess they probably parked in the same spot we all do when they looked at the falls. by the looks of the 20 photos i saw the crew was about 6 people. easy, bro.

yeah, Chipper, You raise a valid point. And I guess they could've asked (or more accurately we should have impressed the Private Property Issue upon them beforehand-- I didn't think of it on Friday's Robe trip)

i ain't saying don't run it...the restriction up there is really just for parking,,,,after all, you and i put in up there just 2 months ago-but we got dropped off, remember?

......again, i was just trying to raise a broader reminder, not just for sunset but everywhere....it's not like i respect these dumbass landowners, but it's just better for everybody if we don't give them any reason.....

this is an even bigger issue for climbing, and icicle creek is a case-in-point. there are all kinds of tensions between landowners and climbers accessing through or climbing on private property. it just pays to know the deal so you don't inadvertently ruin it for everybody.....

in the end, i am stoked they ran sunset. i would love to be there in person to see someone else run it....

Here's my opinion:

The locals think they own the river and the falls.  That is wrong.  The boaters want to boat.  That it is right.  The fact that they are unwilling to work with ANYONE in the whitewater community shows that they are stubborn and unamerican in their unwillingness to share our waterways.  I've heard that the rafting companies offered to pay for all the road maintenance all year round for the community up there if they could BUY a piece of land to launch from.  They wouldn't even consider it because they thing they own the river and the falls and have the right to keep it from others in their community.


That's all I got to say about that.

Ya, Since JP and Chip are always talking smack about how good they are, I would like to see them fire up Sunset. It is funny how the really good boaters never post about how skilled or good they are or make comments about how others are like driftwood...

Oh and all the beta they take the time to write up, which we all benefit from, but hey lets focus on being negative and talking sh*t behind our computer screens.

I say if you are not firing up class VI then you shouldn't be commenting on other peoples boating skills

Bravo fiddleyak.

Dave lately all you have been doing is berating people and posting useless comments. I find the following funny.





Does anyone else find that really contradicting ....??

This thread is about a great feat of skill and courage running Sunset Falls, but yet again you have pulled the attention away from anything beneficial and directed it to negative trash talking. I am of course not surprised.

I like how Ben says nothing about skill, only your participation online. I personally think you and Leif need to get a time share and do a little journaling together ... That sure would increase the positive/value ratio of posts around here.

And your comments are on topic James? STick to bicycling your better at it. Your also a good asshole too...
