- The Sights and Sounds of the 22nd Green Race
Once again the Green Race lived up to the hype. There were 140 racers. We had a state of the art timing system that kept time to the 1000th of a second (No more ties) The course record was broken by two people. There were many tales of victory and some tails of defeat but everyone stepped up to the plate and tried to post their time.
The paddling crew included a hand paddling tandem group and our first ever Father and Son team paddling their own boats and then again in a tandem. The weather was warm, the leaves were in full fall color mode, and a huge crowd climbed down that ridiculous trail yet again to witness "The Greatest Show in Sports".
To all the racers, though I laugh and joke, I never hope for anyone to get hurt and I will always wish for perfect lines for everyone. That said I have had my fair share of beat downs and carnage and I know it is pretty fun to watch. So drink your bootie beers and enjoy the ride. Thanks, Shane Benedict.

Tandem hand paddlers... a canoe? Amazing! Some nice saves too. Great video
The canoe did better than most of them.
No canoe but double tandem kayak
LOL the guy at 6:23 looked like he was riding a mechanical bull and the crowd was going wild!! That was awesome
I’d say he was the wild one lol
@@cocacolatgv Pretty sure that's Dave Jackson
@@kingkwassa *Dane
Dane is usually on a pink yak
How could anyone give a thumbs down to this video?!?!?!? Fn epic whitewater
exactly my thought
Because of all the screaming
just nope; and lots more nope.
devops'y i
I don't even Kayak, I'm just addicted to the excitement of these videos lol..
I like watching things I would never consider doing.
Guys u shoud kayaking its the best thing ever
@@dailymotorhighlights really is the best stress reliever. Did the Hiwassee in TN and the Ocoee. This is what life is about, no care just flow and love..
Me tooo
Hah! Nor do I want to.. cameras make it look so easy and gentle haha
6:24 to 6:43 !! 😃
My personal favorite
That was awesome👍👌🤪
At first i thought he was stuck. But judging by his huge smile he did it on purpose and had the time of his life.
@@1LoveGame2 That guy kayaked a 134ft waterfall. He does everything on purpose. He's just crazy dude.
Dane is the man. Best in the business.
4:34 when he went over the lip it was like mario jumping or just magic he got lifted up it was really satisfying
Only Dane could wave to the spectators whilst sitting in a creek
I want a face guard on my helmet !
Me too and i aint all that pretty to begin with!!
Football helmet
Dam that's the way to do extreme and have a TON of SAFETY i dont kayak at all and Id be tempted to try this with all the GREAT experienced people.
Make sure you have a bombproof roll before trying this.
damn! you're safety is on POINT! Well done guys! :D
Tony McSpadden It really is, those guys were ready the second they small someone in trouble
Kudos for the safety points
3:31 3:51 they all owe the safety guys a beer or two
Almost as good as being there but without the hike in. My heart is racing watching this -- thanks for capturing. I was in Hawaii this year and couldn't make it. Spot on safety, too. Thanks for keeping 'em safe.
Lmao, just looks like toys in a toilet, like zero control.
Love it when the guy live baiting at 2:18 basically dumps himself onto the boat and then pushes it over the next drop upside down. Thanks buddy! 🤣🤣🤣
Riotous madness. Like too many things i wish i had gotten into this when i was a youngin. Looks like too much fun. Here's to hoping the buddhists got it right i guess.
you are never too old to start, the only difference will be that you will paddle a grade lower runs
its not about what gnar you run, its about having fun, and as a beginner you have fun even on slightest wave, then you progress as much as you feel like it, some do it fast, some stay where they are
at the end, its all about having fun with the right people :)
How many helmet mounted go-pros got scrubbed off?
So out of 140 racers 95 required medical treatment, sound s like fun....
Appreciate the idiots who are risking their lives to entertain those sitting on the corner and cheering them.. How dumb can people be.. Beats me everytime
I'll never understand why people would want to experience what it's like to be flushed down a toilet.
I think I'll just stay with lakes and rivers with a fishing pole!
Im a canoe guy but the excitement of these videos is sick
These nut jobs are taking some crazy risk.
So, what state or country is this in, jeez just the basics.
Awesome guys, just awesome!
Some crazy fucking paddle rolls
The best was EJ Jackson throwing a kiss to the crowd...classic!
Was that EJ and not Dane?
ok... I took another look it is
Dane isn't?
Eric Jackson Jackson?!
EJ is older, and was a legend and now designs these yaks, Dane is younger, and a red bull sponsored pro kayaker that does extreme yaking
Absolute insanity!!!
This is one of the greatest things I have ever seen!
I'm guessing it's less of a race and more of a training session The safety crews are just spotters like in gymnastic training where you are expected to fail so you can learn what not to do. I guess if you limited this to the actual competent the race would take about 15 mins.
damn @3:38 dude football tackeled him hard
I don’t even know how these kayaks hold these people with balls this big!!! I kayak but I don’t not like this. I have a sit on top one. I think they s sport is awesome. I love watching others do this but I can’t
Best Green Race video ever!
The athlete that comes closest to death should get automatic RedBull sponsorship, lol
Unfortunately I have to mute this clip as that dude is over the top loud
Fuck the safety i wouldn't wanna be tossed around by that fierce water and wacking the rocks i would not do that
Such an amazing event you guys! It looks like a shit ton of fun
WHATS IN THAT FLASK
Booze no doubt!
That's Appalachian "spring water"!
OMG
Ouch ! who's collecting the teeth ??
Cool event, everybody is stoked, it's infectious.
Maniacs
This sounds like an intergalactic kegger.
I got a fever-and the only cure is Less Cowbell
Awesome
Looks like a great time. Excellent safety work.
Those guys have their rolls on point for rolling up in that fast of current
The safety crew was on point! Good job!
this is just too dangerous for me
INSANE!!! UAUUU
I absolutely love it,
I love the safety factor….exhilarating with backups
Holy crap, y'all are freakin' insane!
