Just sharing some videos that I have made of Kayaking, Biking, and Family fun.
Legion Lake Mountain Biking
My friend Dan Bollinger asked me if I would like to give Mountain Biking another good go, but this time on his good bike. Convinced, we met in Perryville MO. at the new Legion Lake trails, nicely done for an amateur like me. Of course I had some bit of a challenge here and there on some places, but for the most part I had a great time and appreciated Dan letting me use his bike. I now am after my own bike once one in my size comes up, close to his already but hopefully with a better seat...ouch! HaHa Thanks Dan!

Lake Fun and Fireworks

Had a good time with my brother and his family out on Lake Kah-Tan-Da doing some kayaking, fishing, swimming and some fireworks to end the day out great. Nothing like having a yak view of some kickass fireworks!
Let'em Fly Disc Golf
Просмотров 292 месяца назад
Disc Golf, my Co-worker asked me to try it out and now something I have been growing a liking to as of late. I had managed to convince my wife Mindy and son John for a round at Perryville on a fantastic day to chase a disc all around the place in hopes to land that ACE shot, but getting par would be much appreciated. We definitely had fun and want to continue to see how well we do. A bit differ...

My buddy Dan Bollinger and I met up with Steve J. for some beginning of summer fun on the great Ocoee River, also met some fellow paddlers from the SLU Kayaking Club from St Louis. Great time surfing and just enjoying this great River, can't wait to go back.
Father's Day Family Black River Trip
Просмотров 1402 месяца назад
Was a great day taking my family canoeing down the Black River for Father's Day. My daughter was home for the weekend and was fantastic to spend some time with her while enjoying some fun in the sun, as well as my Dad and my brothers and thier families. For some this was their first time in a canoe and paddling down a river, so it was extra bonus to get to show them the joys of floating on a ri...
James First Whitewater Experience
Просмотров 763 месяца назад
My brother James asked me about Whitewater Kayaking a couple weeks ago and after a quick Creek run in one of my boats he got his own. He got him an older version on the Dagger Mamba and after this day we found out that it needs better outfitting lol. Was good to get out and run some drills and be on the water, the more time in the boat the better to learn, even if ya swim. Glad to be out spendi...
Dynamic Duo Day Reverse View
Просмотров 743 месяца назад
Fantastic day and a great idea of Dan Bollinger to get the Dynamic Duo out on the St. Francis River at 15". Had a blast surfing and hitting eddies with this big yak, and glad we didn't have to test our roll ability this go round lol. Turned my GoPro around to get a different view of the action from behind the lead seat and giving Dan some screen time haha. Great to have Justin Worth out after s...

Просмотров 254 месяца назад
My wife Mindy and I met up with my brother James and his wife Amanda for alittle bit of lake paddling and seeing if the fish where going to be catching. Had alittle bit of wind at times to battle against, regardless we all agreed the time was well spent.
Fun in the Rain and Hand Paddles
Просмотров 894 месяца назад
The St. Francis River was at 4in. on its way to 5 with the rain showers here and there. Dan Bollinger decided he was going to hand paddle today and on occasion I to tried them out for an enjoyable day on the river. Cool lauches from Big Drop by Dan and Matt Bliss.
Wild Yakin' on the Cheoah River
Просмотров 594 месяца назад
This was our last river to run at the beginning of April tril before our long trek home. Dan, Kyle, Randy and I had a pretty good time down this fast pace river of constant rapids. This would be my 4th run on this iconic river and always feels like a new one to me everytime. The constant wave trains, hole, boofs and falls are a great reason to hit this river any chance ya got, SYOTR!
Whitewater Creek in a Whitewater Yak
Просмотров 324 месяца назад
My Brother James wanted to try his first time in a Whitewater kayak and I thought going down our local creek Whitewater would be a good chill run. A little rocky in more spots that I liked from time to time, but for the most part was an enjoyable run talking and learning. He usually does some kayak fishing on lakes and heard me talk way to highly of some cool stuff going down a run in a differe...
Let's Go Yakin'! Upper & Lower Saint
Просмотров 894 месяца назад
Was a bright sunny day to make a great run on the St. Francis River "The Saint" at 18" the level, with some friends and the SLU Kayaking Club with some would be thier first time down both the Upper and Lower sections of the Saint. Everyone did well, even with some swims, had great attitude to get back out and finish the whole run! Great job yall and look forward to the next run, SYOTR!
Tallulah River Gorge
Просмотров 654 месяца назад
Yet another great run and Awesome crew to hit the Tallulah River this past weekend. Dan, Kyle, Randy and I slid our way through some wild riding rapids and happily lead them down some of them. Looking forward to next time. Thanks Mindy for the view from up top, seen ya from below lol.
Montgomery Whitewater Park
Просмотров 6474 месяца назад
Needed to oil up my skills for some Tallulah River Gorge action the following day, so a sunny afternoon at Whitewater Park seemed to be the answer. Was pretty different from the usual River running that I'm used to, but was a challenge well enough to enjoy the wild water. Seemed the square blocks makes the water react differently than you thick would happen. The escalator to the top was fun and...

A Fantastic March 16-17, 2024 for some kayak racing with fellow yakers from all over, 15 States representing I believe I heard, participating in the 57th Missouri Whitewater Association (MWA) Championships on the St. Francis River at Millstream Gardens. Was great to have my family out to the river to see me in action lol, as well as getting to meet all the newcomers to the area and possible ret...

Mindy's Birthday Nantahala D.Duckie Run 2023
I paddled the middle on Monday of this week. Wish I could have caught up with you guys, but it was a good, dry-head run. that day for me. I have much to learn, but I'm getting more comfortable with it each time. Such an awesome river!
@@BradDavis1974 Awesome Brad! Glad to hear that you are getting back out there again, keep it up and SYOTR!
Is this Black River in Missouri?
Cool perspective man! Fun edit to watch
Was hard to break it down to smaller sections and not show all the cool fun, whole run was a blast
You guys are animals!!! Great video. Always a pleasure to paddle with the two of you.
Appreciate it Brad
Love paddling at MWW!
Cool footage Joe. Can't wait for the next day on the river!
the brilliant mr Joseph Szabelski. 💫
Appreciate it thank you
This looks like so much fun!😁
Looks like fun. I have no idea why youtube recommended this video to me, but i am glad it did :D
I need to check this place out. Looks like a blast!!!
Hell yes
Lookin fast Joe!
Thanks, could've done better on my route choice, but at -2 I'm not going to complain.
Great video! Seeing the two of you in my neck-of-the-woods is pretty cool. If you haven't checked out Bell Smith Springs yet, you should. The hike is more challenging, but the views are worth it. I would recommend warmer weather for it as you, most likely, will end up with wet feet from the creek crossings.
Thanks for the info Brad. We are looking into more hiking spots for the non-yakin days, so any info would be greatly appreciated. We will have to log that one on our list.
Boney level
fun in the sun? looks like so cold _D
It was above freezing, and if ya factor in styling on some awesome rapids in a Scorch...well that high 90°s lol
@@josephszabelski5509 Okay :D
Yes, what was the level? I've only run the St. Francis at 3 below 0 and did the S run at Cat's Paw. Great video! Who is the fellow in the blue Pyhranha playboat at Big Drop? That was dope!
Awesome job Wolfski! I was cold just watching.
Thanks! Wasn't too bad at the start, but did get down low at the end. Was glad to hit it while I could. Hope ya get out there soon!
Nice run my friend. I'm not even sure I could paddle the Upper St. Francis and stay upright at this point. WoR this past July was the last time I have been on real whitewater. Sad, but true.
Thanks Brad! Was great to be back out after so long as well. Been missing ya out there, hope ya get back in the yak again soon.
Probably should have brought a fishing pole, my friend. Cool video. This was the first NYD since I started paddling that I haven't spent on whitewater on the Saint. Kinda depressing. Honestly, I haven't been on real whitewater since WoR back in July of last year. Hoping it's like riding a bike when I do get back on the water, but I'm probably gonna look like a fool...lol
Was depressing no being able to be on some whitewater for the start of the year. but just being out on some water to paddle seemed to help lol. Been since Oct. since I had paddled and I sure could feel it then, even with using my erogometor
I bring the scouts up to Humpty Dumpty every summer to swim and jump off rocks. We spend the day there. At low levels it is a great place to swim, even sliding down that last part on river right. In the summer the cave on the right is empty and dry. There is a hole to climb down into the cave, then up on the rock "sumbathers rock". The hike down takes about 20 min. Inside that hole on river right at the first ledge , you can sit under the falling water for a Jacuzzi. Feels great on the back. The scouts are always ready to go back.
Did you get to do South Sauty? come when the water is high and Bear Creek is running. We usualyt get it in Jan-April
What was the level?
Great video Joe!!! You are killing it out there. Dan kills me. He looks like he is paddling a 0" lap on the Saint...lol. I'm sure Slim and Mike made it look easy as well (which I know it isn't) and styled the lap. Hoping for some rain sometime soon so we can paddle our beloved Saint Francis.
Thanks Brad! We all had a great run and was definitely tired once we was on land. Appreciate the viewing and hope to see you on the river soon
I want to get back into Kayaking! :-)
No time like the present, that's why it's a gift. Getcha a yak, gear, and find a river. If need more training no doubt there are people out there ready to help.
What was the level?
19 inches?
I LOVE the Saint Francis river! It is my home river! :-)
Totally agree!
🍎
I need to stick Michelle in a duo with Dan sometime. She has rafted a lot, but never been in a kayak on moving water. I think she would have a great time! Cool video. Thanks for posting brother.
Let's do it next time!
That looks like a blast
Thanks for showing us the lines and for the great video! It was an awesome day!!
You guys are AWESOME!
Had an awesome time paddling with you Joe. Thanks for showing us the lines.
I LOVE this River! :-)
And I will be back on it someday soon! :-)
On the road again. LRC is such a beautiful river. The water is always so clear. If you look closely around humpty Dumpty rapid you can see my paint marks maring some hiking trails I have made.
The duffek stroke is very useful here where you want to catch an eddy quickly and stay at the top of the eddy. Racers use this stroke to catch eddy's. Most self taught kayakers , "drag themselves and the kayak into the eddy". While this works, but sometimes you end up at the bottom of the eddy or out the other side. It makes catching eddy's crisp and clean, and its very easy, almost natural once you start using it. Try it, and sss. Looks like a great river for this
awesome move there at humpty dumpty. I really like catching that left eddy, then seeing the line. paddle out and let the current take you to the right and boof the ledge. You did it perfectly. You really have to be careful that lower level. Most of the deaths have occured at lower levels. That overhang you padddled under at 6:39, was under water one day when we went down and the water was up to the road at CMP. Made for a fast trip.
The trip was soooo awesome! Great way to kick off the paddling season.
That last big rapid would have probably gotten me, but it sure is a pretty run! Hope to catch this one sometime in the future. Nice video.
Next time try the right line at "Welcome to Sauty"
Congrats on your medal!
Use extra caution on those solo trips friend. Stuff happens.
Good memories
Awesome, video bro! You always do a great job of capturing the mood. I'm glad you included the gopro swim lol good times!
Nice Joe!
My favorite river. Good run guys.
This video had me in the moments laughing and hollarin' lol. Got told to calm down lol. Oh well I enjoyed this for real. Wonderful runs, moves, boof rocks, total fun, and memories made. Videoed like a pro, yeah a gopro lol
Dude, I had a great time paddling this with you! Until next time!
Ugh wish I could have been there
Wished you where there too bro, think my video would have double
Miss you Dan
Wow! I was grinning ear to ear through your video. At one point in the weekend one of your students walked up to me and said "That Joseph is so good he could be an instructor himself!"
Joseph could almost encourage me to try that!
Whoa! Perfect wave
