Sick!! Thanks for the footage!

Good to see the OC boaters throwing down on such a huge feature!

Good luck in the finals!

this is reminiscent of slaloms' beginning, people designing their own boats, and knowing infinitely how to use them, Jeremy, it's great to see you doing what you are, and I can't say enough how cool it is to see you on that feature in the boat you made, which looks truth be told a hades of a lot better than all the other boats. cheers and Good Luck man.

Looks like fifth place was a 5-way tie with zero points- to be decided with a 1 ride tie breaker tomorrow. Forth was Stephan, 3rd was Paul, 2nd was Jordi, and I somehow managed to end up in first with 25 points. I would have beaten 18 of the kayakers.... Hopefully I can do it again on friday...

Nice one Jeremy!!

Sounds like it was a great event to watch. As soon as I can get home and check out the vids I will. I'm sure I'm going to start getting jellous!! It looks like OC1 is having another great Worlds like it did in Oz and putting on a fine show. Well done everyone and keep it going huge.

Congrats!

I can't say as though I'm surprised though - you've put time and thought in to training, AND designing your own boat...and preparation goes a long way (at least unless luck is completely against you:) ).

Keep up the great work having fun:)

I agree with Adam...

Its nice to see all those boaters getting out there, pulling off extremely difficult moves and pushing the sport to new places.... and doing it with style!

Perhaps we'll see some interest in designing new OC boats for production. Heck maybe we'll even C a few more OC boaters as the masses figure out it that although it might be more difficult, its cool as hades!

Keep it real and keep the pressure full on!

Thanks for the updates, video and continued good luck!

OC-1 results: Stephan took 1st, Jordi in 2nd, and I pulled together enough of a 3rd ride in finals to take the Bronze!

In C-1, Guilliuem Larue (sorry for the spelling) (Canada) and Marc Girardin (again, sorry for spelling) (France) went back and forth for the lead in finals, but Dan Burke (USA) STOMPED a pistol flip right at the buzzer on his final ride to take first!

In the butt boats.... ah, who cares....

Scratch that.... Danks was 2nd, Jordi was 4th... there was some confusion/controversy over that....

Congrats Jeremy and everyone who competed!!!

But now soon let's see some video... we need video MAN.

RodeoClown · Post by **RodeoClown** » Sat May 05, 2007 1:57 pm

I'll get on it today-- you know how it is with the mandatory party... I'll probably only post video of Stephan's winning ride, my ride, and Dan's winning C-1 ride, since you guys are killing me on the bandwidth- in the past 4 days I've gotten more vistors to my website than in all of April, and I've used up half of my bandwidth.

Unfortunately, I didn't make it out in time for C-1 prelims, so I don't have video of that, but I've got all the single blade finals runs....

Nice work Jeremy and everyone else, I couldn't believe the videos. I was definatly skeptical at first about the prospect of open boats on Minibus...

Congrats, but whats that Sheit about drug testing?
