That GoPro was wondering what the fuss was. Lol.
awesome video Zach, what date you ran Green Wall? We ran it on May 4th and went from 750-2750 in a single night, what a ride thru Green Wall, hit the wall at the exit and became new members of Illinois swim team. What a special river this is! My video is on youtube too if you are interested.
We need a accident report video with Aaron ragging on your line lol.
So rad. Any chance you guys will add a trip later than usual with this crazy late snow?
We have one more trip but it’s full
Trippy underwater video. I found myself ducking my head so as not to hit the rocks. Thanks for sharing Zach!
Same😂
Eerie but cool seeing camera under water. Hope all worked good in the end
Ouch. Hard to watch you hit that rock, Zach. Hope you’re well.
Also, recovering and flipping over a gear raft in less than 3 minutes is super impressive
River tested Indus review incoming!
Hope you're both ok - thanks for sharing the good and bad runs.
So sweet! I've yet to flip unintentionally so I've got to get out there and get messy
Those who have, and those who will. I’m still in that second group with you. We had a flip on the MFS last year and being a part of the recovery helped me feel more comfortable with my crew. (We had a pretty quick re-flip on that one!)
I'm sure I will at some point but I'm not pushing myself too much
Excellent video quality! Glad you’re well. Illinois Swim Club!
How many people were needed to help flip that loaded 16’ back over? Did Zach belly flop on that rock under the surface of the rapid?
Very impressed with the quick recovery and flip back over. Anyone can flip, but not everyone can right their boat so quickly
It's easy as heck to flip there. A boat in our group did the same thing. Fortunately it was a lightly loaded 4 person paddle boat. I many ways harder to nav, than the Big one.
whoa, looked like a great run until it wasn’t!
that looked a face plant onto the rock?thnx for sharing the experience.
OH NO!! It happens
I didn't see a single fish that whole time. Thanks for sharing the humbling parts
Great fish count video.
Green wall to green room
Cool to see you working that line against the rock. In the last run, you hit it and hardly needed any oar strokes to clear the rock downstream. Maybe a little too left and I’m sure the lower flow probably makes that hole “flippier”. Thanks for sharing.
nice
Did you save the beer?
Just kidding 😂, glad everyone made it out ok! But seriously what happened to it😅
FEEL THE LOVE!!!
I'm so glad to see the Illinois water quality still looks so beautiful. Thanks sharing that report with us. 😅
Did you hit your face on the flip? Glad you made it out ok, and impressive reflip so quick.
Nope I hit my wrist on the rock and was fine
