I love the shot of him holding up the broken paddle as he exits the fall. Tells a story all by itself.

Still epic 10 and a half years later, record still stands.
Nobody that dumb has come along yet.
@@josephshields2922 3 years later - 2012 - Rafael Oritz did it, but because he got ripped out of his boat at the bottom - it didn't count.
I'm on Acid! :]
@@cheskybaba4864 other ppl have done it
13.5 years later... still standing
doesnt he know talking on the cell phone and driving is dangerous?
tandem compound bro he’s going down a 189 feet waterfall XD
@@tizmitzy woooosh
Tiz Mitzy yeah but talking on the phone and driving gets other people killed
brilliant take tandem, salute!
10 years ago, everyone did this and it was allowed, even if most people understood it take some of your driving ability.
I did the math:
Height: 189ft 57.6072m
Gravity: 9.80665 m/s^2
Free fall time: 3.427623s
Velocity on impact: 33.6134 m/s 121.0085 km/h 75.19123 mph
+wrbrbl irbl You lost me at Hello ;-D
nice :D
you didn't correct for the drag coefficient of the mans GIANT BALLS.
Mike West there is no formula that can work with numbers of such magnitude
So his speed is 75 mph, but I wonder if impact was softened by turbulence, air content, hitting nose first or anything else?
Just proves Red Bull damages brain cells and increases ball size!!
Fair trade
👍
Vagisil?
Oh, God help us ---- another RUclips lemming making a "big balls" comment on a extreme sports video.
Lol
That half paddle is worth alot more than it was new! It should be in a museum! This is a rare test of limits. Anything that can be spoken or typed is just a ripple in the pond. Rush, Tyler... thank you so much for posting this! I bought DVD too, but this clip is very special. Kudos A+++
Wow. That was intense waiting for him to appear. Can't imagine how it felt for the guys in the kayaks down below.
I can't believe he was talking on the phone while driving. What a badass!

No it dont
Yee Haw it do go down
@@aidenfaurote you
Surprised there aren’t as many comments about robert
I've been wondering when someone would try that, we were there 5 years ago and my friends said it was too much but I knew someone would pull it off. Props dude that takes a lot of follow through. Epic, good job with the video too I'm sure your mom really likes it.
Because in their mind they want to be remembered for something. . . .even if it cost then their lives.
@@sparrowhawk5673it has nothing to do with that. You have obviously never done serious Whitewater kayaking or waterfall jumps. The only thing that comes close to the exhilaration you feel doing a waterfall, is jumping off the side of a mountain with nothing but your squirrel suit.
It's called living your life to the fullest, and enjoying every moment of it.
If you truly believe what you wrote you have a very very sad and extremely boring life!
This takes some serious balls. I love the outdoors and have taken calculated risks which you have to when dealing with nature. This is way beyond what I would ever consider but if people get a thrill from this then hats off to them and go for it I can identify with wanting to push what your capabilities are
Ii used to do a lot of white-water rafting, prefer Class IV but did V also, but this is too radical for me, even when I was a thrill-seeker! Hats off to these guys!
Pushing the human body is something I've always loved. I'm a pro powerlifter, so I completely understand the thrill of jumping levels and putting yourself on the line...
But HOLY SHIT. Tyler needs to go get checked out by a doctor immediately, because his nutsack is WAY to big. This is a pursuit that very few people would ever undertake, and it amps me up every time I watch it. Fucking legendary.
Friends: lol bro it's impossible to go off drops that high and live
Tyler: hold my beer
*holds beer*
About 6 years ago, (2015 I think) wife and I were visiting the falls, the flow was not a great as it was in this video, but we saw a kayak go over the falls. We thought we were witnessing a mistake/tragic accident. We watched the kayak paddle out of the pool and to shore. About 5 minutes later, a second one goes over the falls. Same result. Another 5 minutes go by and a third repeats the event. After the second one, we realized it was planned. People say I took crazy risks in my younger days. I was a chair bound conservative compared to these people.
that was my thought. now everybody is going to be doing it. srazy,
Different falls I’m assuming?
@@RonBurgundy412 I'm on Acid! :)
@@RonBurgundy412 same falls... been run 4 times by 4 people, the other 3 ran it together that day
So will they be doing niagra
incredible.
That man deserves a beer.
Hell he definitely Deserves a shot of whatever kind of liquor he wants and I’m buying
@@TheBunkerdog lol
Extremely INCREDIBLE, I couldn't have mustered the guts to do it, much less do I have the skill. I respect you greatly, you put a lot on the line for the advancement of kayaking
edge of my seat the whole vid. i cant imagen the look on Tylers moms face when she got that call.Thanks bing
Reason he popped up so fast was because his sizable balls.
Never done this ever .... but that looked like the best line to take down that fall. :D Down, down, down. Well done for making the world record. God bless your Mum.
Can God bless those that provoke him?
Matthew 4:5-7
He said to Jesus, “If you are the Son of God, jump off, because the Scriptures say, ‘God will command his angels to help you, and their hands will catch you, so that you will not hit your foot on a rock.’” Jesus answered, “The Scriptures also say, ‘You must not test the Lord your God.’”
For everyone that thinks this is fake, I'll tell u right now it's not. Why would they fake it? Tyler is a professional kayaker he does this for a living. He doesn't go around the world and fake waterfall descents
It’s not fake. It was at Palouse falls washington. Several years ago
You can kayak for a living well dame learn something new everyday
You're right! I live an hour away and this was big news.
Ich habe mir den Kurzfilm bestimmt schon 10 Mal angeschaut und bin immer wieder fasziniert.
Jawdropping, amazing, incredible! Unfortunately, I speak of the haters leaving comments about how there is no skill involved in this descent "just floating over a fall and hoping for the best" and such. Without a doubt, none of you have ever sat in a kayak and pushed yourself from a shore, let alone to any kind of limit. More than likely, leaving your uninformed comment will be your SECOND most important contribution to this planet...... the first being fertilizer when you pass and are burried.
Exactly, It is totally different when you are sitting in a kayak. If you are new at kayaking, a 3 feet drop is intimidating as anything. I couldn't imagine someone going for this kind of drop, simply amazing.
You're the man. Now you really know what it means to live.
I stopped here on a bicycle tour, saw the falls, watched them for hours... I didn't imagine anyone would do this!
Good for you man, We hike and fish out there and its gorgeous. You have some huge balls for sure. Keep it up.
And he didn't wear a go pro!?
It should have been pointed at him, not forward. But hats off to this guy, for sure. He's lucky he didn't get a spinal.
It was in 2009
Its CGI.
Is Go Pro Adult Diapers?
Incredible accomplishment. Tyler has the skills and knowledge that were definitely necessary to pull such an amazing feat!! I feel sorry for those who attempt to criticize Tyler...they are insecure puny ponds and Tyler is the Mighty King!!
I will forever criticize people that thrill seek by engaging in activities with a very high likelihood of death. There is a fine line between bravery and stupidity. I feel sorry for idiots that think this type of thing is praiseworthy. Something must be wrong with your brains.
Yes, those who are criticizing him are those who wish they could do something like this but are too chickenshit to try challenging themselves in life
Amazing feat, beautifully captured
I am teaching my 14 year old son to browse our rapids and he is enjoying it, but we used kayaks 80s fiberglass. Thanks if you can help me. Congratulations on that descent waterfall, crazy thing, very cool, I was open-mouthed with such courage. Linda filming.
Was there today, couldn't imagine going off the falls like that amazing..

Man this is AWESOME! i went Kayaking this morning and i could barely maneuver myself off of a 1 ft rock.
friggin amazing. I didn't think such a drop was possible.
I love the call to moms... she has had her hands full over the years I bet... great job an im glad your still alive
2:17 is a shot using the Old GoPro. This was PRE-HD GoPro
Yah what a silly thing to document our adventures, share them with the world, and draw more people into the Outdoors! It shows a real insecurity to make art and capture our accomplishments in nature. Great insight.
✔️😂🍿
love the back of the kayak view
Nice job Tyler. Stay safe out there.
The Kayak has a crease on it, did the impact cause it to almost fold up on him?
That was the most impressive thing I've ever seen.

Great video, love it !
This is so insane. I could never get the bravery to do this
@nskulavik we had it measured officially 6 months after by a surveyor. I had already posted the video... Turns out it was a little taller than we thought...
What about the depth brah?
Wow...gets me pumped watching it.. makes me wanna step it up.
Absolutely Awesome Young Man!
Well he's not that young anymore. lol
Tyler,,,, what can another paddler say but the river Gods love a true paddlers heart !!!! Great Job !!!!
I wish he would of dropped a Brown Claw!
Literally the only good comment on this video
This is incredible. Why this is coming up in my recommended now after having never watched anything even remotely similar will always be a mystery but I'm glad it did
Because it needs to be seen. I'm on Acid :], by the way
Really great performance congratulations 👍
Any more takers feeling froggy and why do some denigrate this achievement? Other names comes to mind: Lindbergh, Messner, Armstrong (not Lance), Honnold, Baumgartner, Hamilton, et al. The boundary of the possible is elastic, and those who are willing to stretch it deserve credit.
This "achievement" is totally meaningless in the context of our larger world, especially in comparison to truly consequential human achievements such as splitting atoms or defeating Nazi Germany. It furthermore was an entirely self-centered, selfish act, and therefore should not evoke admiration.
@@johnmaxwell1750 you need to eat some Acid and listen to the Grateful Dead, brah
@@mrwhosmynameagain - Nah, Joey, you do that. I have more interesting and productive things to do.
@@johnmaxwell1750 you're scared bruh
@@mrwhosmynameagain - The only recreation drug I ever experienced was adrenaline -- a drug naturally generated by my body when I ran Class V & VI rapids, or during high exposure climbing. Taking acid while listening to the Grateful Dead is an idiot thing. Go ahead, Joey. Fry your brain.
Re-freakin'-donkulous! The best part is the broken paddle! (and of course the expression, "It's just a matter of buckin' up and huckin' it!") Totally amazing!
Congrats !
Congrats! I'd love to hear more about the landing, foamy or not so much?
Come on people, he said it was his third planning trip in three weeks, it wasn't without thought, planning, skills and a LOT of guts!
Holy F%%%%%%CK that's truly amazing! My hat of for that guy!
I've never touched a kayak but I just want to understand the technique of this, even going over smaller big falls, how does it work? It just seems like they would hit the water so hard , how do you not get injured/killed going over a damn waterfall in a kayak hah
extreme paddlers like these guys receive injuries very often! broken noses, shoulders, etc...
when you run a high waterfall, the most important thing is to get your boat vertical to the surface before hitting the water. otherwise you could easily broke your back or something else.........
yhea back/spine injury looks guaranteed with this crazy shit. but if they drop vertical how do they figure they won't impact the bottom with the nose
George R.R Martin HAT Majority of kayakers survey the waterfalls they intend to leap off of beforehand. If you notice in the beginning of the video, the phone call he made to his buddy states that they have been watching the activity of the waterfall for the right time to do so. I'm sure they're well aware of the depth of the pool they will land in. Yes, the idea is to be vertical and before impact cross your arms and push your head against them into the hull of the kayak. This closes the gap in which the buoyance of the kayak will force against the kayaker upon impact.
The water at the bottom is churned up and air-ated, so the impact is softer. If you were to launch of a 180ft bridge with flat water underneath the impact would then definitely break the boat and the paddler.
awesome.. thanks bing
12 years later I’m still trying to figure out who the monster was, the waterfall for being what it is…or Tyler for chucking himself over it…mental. ❤
I wonder how you feel when u r going down that
+Nolan Soares
I wonder too ...
Ohhhh shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit!!!!!! Would probably sum it up
Everything just blacks out until you’ve come down I think. That’s at least what I felt when going down a high waterfall
Probably like when you drop from a rollercoaster
Wet
That's funny cause his dad is the man and LOVES that Tyler pushes himself on waterfalls. He also kayaks hard whitewater with Tyler and is a bit of a wild man himself. Tyler's run is a CALCULATED descent and the odds of him sticking it were in his favor... And he did stick it... And he didn't die. So... I guess you have no idea what the fuck you're talking about.
John Maxwell says the guy named maxwell
@ Rush. How long have you been kayaking and how did you learn/get involved? I've been white river rafting for many years but I've always wanted to get into Kayaking. I love the river and have respect for her but I'm ready to take it next level.
That was awesome.
He should try angel falls lol jk
Bitch please, the drunken frat boys near where I live will go over the sketchiest rapids in NH on inner tubes when fueled with enough PBR. "Hold my beer" and "Ya think I can...?" aren't just mere sayings, they're a way of life.
Seriously though, this dude got balls. Mad props.
I'm glad you're impressed, even though NH has much higher waterfalls than this measly 189 feet.
qrthrse1 NH blows... lol j/k
akram ziada Lol! Never been there, I know that NH doesn't have anything that looks like this waterfall though.
Yeah, I know, I was just joking. This is the most insane thing I've ever seen.
new hamster frat boys going off a waterfall in a drunken stupor does not classify as legit, 189 ft drop without a parachute is madness and i got nothing but respect for Tyler Brandt.
Did a real good job
How did the imapact
Feel like that wasnt a small fall i would love to do this eventually but this is amzing ❤
incredible! but you shall be reported for talking on your cell phone while driving. LOL
Yes, very dangerous
I hope you got something in writing from Redbull and Gopro saying they would pay for your wheelchair, feeding tubes, and/or casket. At least tell me you got that much in the Risk/Reward matrix. Congrats but a few seconds worth of RUclips video is NOT worth your life.
Ryan Taylor It meant more to him than a few seconds of youtube video.
shanedude93 Sure, but how great would those memories and even money from sponsors be when he's sitting in a wheelchair or laying in a casket? Risk vs. Reward, it just doesn't add up.
***** Risks vs. Reward. I don't have a problem with risking, but only when the reason is worthy. Such as protecting fellow Soldiers in combat. And for the record, I now spend most of my time pursuing an Engineering degree.

And I have a nice life, thanks, hope you have one too.
+Ryan Taylor lmao you must live a sad life
+Ryan Taylor its his life to kayak, if you cant see that then you just dont understand the meaning. he didnt do it for a video, he did it because he lives it. wake up doofus
that was awesome man.
Crazy, man!!!!
What a RUSH!!! Man! Gotta get in the water soon.
It's more of capturing something amazing... and yes I would like to see people showcase their talents.
Wow! Incredible.
People climb dangerous mountains because they are there, even though many may have died trying before their own attempt. Same for kayaking waterfalls, I believe. As long as new challenges exist, some human being somewhere will rise to those challenges. While I lack both the skills and the desire to conquer waterfalls, I respect those who take those calculated risks. Kudos to Tyler; glad you made it with minimal injuries! Sorry about your paddle, lol.
WOW - just WOW!! What a rush, dude - glad you made it out safely!! Great to have mates to watch your back and maybe a mom that prays ;) Congratulations - even this many years later!!

Amazing feat..keeping watching regularly to motivate my self...Rise of a Superman :)
Awesome!
OMG that was crazy!!!
ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC / SUPERHUMAN / EXTRAORDINARY / IT'S GIGANTIC !!! ADMIRATION GUYS ! BEAUTIFUL VIDEO .
Heard him, on radio last night..a very decent human being he sounded like. I would have thought he would use a neck-brace of some sort..like a NASCAR kind of rig, or football lineman kind of thing. He must be a real artist and found his precise entry spot to not have cracked vertebrae etc..
Amazing !
Robert, it DO go down!
That precision tho....goddamn
Toothpick races in gutters or that intro to Land of the Lost, comes to mind.
SICK!!
Crazy.. but super amazing!!!
awsome dude!
I used to ride my motorcycle here. Those falls sometimes look like a trickle, this must be during the spring that he did this. AWESOME! If you go. go BIG hell go HUGE!!!!
Very well done! just a quick question what is the white tube on his back at 1.54, Keep up the good work!
this is just amazing, im scared to death of things like that the only water I go near is the one in the shower, mad props to this dude
That was too cool!
Pure insanity!!!
That is as heavy as it gets! I remember when we thought celestial falls was the envelope!
Congrats Bro.
I was that daring once...
Until a 500 ft. Slide down a glacier bowl behind Sniwmass Mountian ended that for me.
Was a hell of a ride though,I basically fell while trying to free my backpack from me.
Because there was a lightning storm came up on us while we were descending the bowl on the opposite side from the mountain.
Didn't want a lightning rod on my back,but I missed one strap when I swung it free from me.
So down I went on the slope,and man,I picked up speed.
Somehow I stayed on my back and my arm went into a Crack in the ice and that's what stopped me dead...
Almost cost me my arm,tore all the nerves in my shoulder,took 2 years to get my arm function back.
And hyperextented both sciatic nerves in my back,.
I got lucky,another 100 feet or so was a secondary cliff about 200 feet tall right into the bowl itself I the bottom.
I would have shot off of there and landed in the bowl water,and that would have finished me,lol...
This was before cell phones,we had nearly a day to walk out to get back to town to get help..
I was beat up for a while...ended my climbing career....
These young guys have both my respect,and my concern,lol...
But in the end,bravo for pulling thus one off,just,wow!!!
A fellow sender I see? Keep up the send brah! Eat that Acid and listen to the Grateful Dead every damn day!!
Peace, Love, and Smoke D.M.T ❤👽🌌🤙
mad respect
it do go down Robert!!
how would you go about checking the depth at the bottom before the run?
That is amazing. You are inspiring!
Awesome....... just awesome
Nice vid!
Awesome!!
Does anyone happen to know the songs that play during this video? Especially the one that plays in the last 30 seconds? I absolutely love it and want to listen to the entire song. Tyler you are one brave SOB. Congratulations on your accomplishment!
