Well that's just dam fun.

Looked like a long dam ride.


Stupid dam kayakers, how dare they have a good time at the expense of....uhhhh....er....

extremophile macrophytes?

I would get bored and have to read a book on the way down I think. That's a long ride. -nods-

Dam good video though.

This video will give you a perspective of just how big and steep that thing is.

They say they were going 45 mph, I don't know about that, but they had to be going pretty fast to get that much air at the bottom.

Whew! You can tell that they are moving on pretty fast as they go past the camera!
Looks like they need that speed to get through the stopper at the bottom! :)
