The Royal Flush (Best Short Film of the Year Awards 2012 - Entry #17)

There has always been one California run in particular that has stood out in my mind. The Royal Gorge of the North fork of the American river. This is a story of my exploits down the river over the past 6 years. My goal was to be the first to run all 5 of the major falls on the river in one trip. Balancing skill, luck, and sanity I was able to pull this feat off 2 years in a row! Enjoy the story of the Royal Flush!

For us old timers who never had the skill or the equipment in our prime to run this stuff you’ve made my vicarious day.

[@tonybarbre2743]

[@markbradshaw4503]

I bought a tootega last year at 55 years old and I adore putting it on my car and paddling the English lakes or my local river when calm...this stuff would scare the life from me so total respect dudes you are so clever/bravery/skilfull/crazy👍

My ex & I had watched extreme kayaking back in the 80's. I always enjoyed the little falls, & skips of the whitewater they encountered. Man that was NOTHING like what goes down today.
BRILLIANT RUN of the North Fork American. Stunning footage, falls of insanity going on and executed with mad skills!
BRAVO SIR BRAVO!!!

@@powskier Lolzzzz

[@Jeeiff]

Music that downgrades the ferocity of Class VI...to drinking a tea in the back yard.

[@seppukusushi2848]

@@powskier That's exactly what I thought. I was going to say, "You took the words right out of my mouth," but...poor choice of words.
