[bearboater]

anyone have any really comprehensive Olympic C-1 and C-2 footage? i really want to see the final Runs for Estanguet, Martikan, Pfannmoller, and the others. if you can make a copy, or perhaps make a back up and accidently lose it my way that would be uber appreciated.
thanks
or if anyone knows a link to anywhere on the web, i had a site 4 days ago that had estanguet, Martikan, and Pfannmoller, but i lost the site.
cheers

Click on the videos link on the left side of the page.

I also heard a rumor that Jim Michaud had most of the runs on a DVD.

I just got some new stuff - footage of the 2005 Worlds (the top 10 c-1s) in Penrith, and also footage from the 2005 World Cup race in Augsburg. That one is really cool because it was taken by the US coaches and features US C-1s Benn Fraker, Jeff Larimer, and Austin Crane. It shows them doing the moves, and then it shows a few of the top international guys, Estanguet, Martikan, Jan Benzien, Juraj Mincik, ect. It is pretty humbling because the Americans C-1s hit gates and occasionally have to loop, but guys like Benzien and Martikan make it look so easy. And this is all especially humbling if you have paddled with the American C-1s and know they are way better than you!

I am crafting a new website to promote my guidebook (www.neguidebook.com) - it's not really up yet, but I may try to put some particularly illuminating clips from this footage on there.
