I don't know about video, but I did see him paddling once on the south fork american. I still, to this day, have not been able to make the sweet line that he took through Troublemaker. Come to think of it, I have never seen anyone else do it either. I think seeing him paddle for those few seconds made me a much better paddler because I started trying (and sometimes making) those impossible moves in class 3 water that I had not seen before. Instead of just running everything the regular way. I mean, I had done that run maybe 50 times and never saw anyone run those lines! The most aggressive open boater I had seen....Way cool
