Nice

We should do a C2 version

Sure till there is the first vertical pin that take out two of them.

Feet and legs pointed forward under the deck of a boat, a ton of water crashin down on their backs foldin them forward over the deck of the boat. I want my legs and feet under me so I can use the largest muscels to stand up and push myself out of that type of pin sistution. I guess I just have more to live for than the average butt boater, but if they had a life they would be in a canoe anyway.

Too bad the boat doesn't seems like such a good C2 potential conversion: pretty round bottom... Still It would be fun to try it out, say, if I could get one for free for instance...!

Maybe it could be the only possible way on earth to get me and my double-bladed-stubborn brother in a same boat? A KC2 boat now that would be something new!

Maybe there should be a new class for waterfall attempts:

WB-1 and WB-2

....Wooden Barrel-1 / Wooden Barrel-2

Too bad there aren't more Noah Americana's in the US.

As fun as my Tomahawk is, I do tend to be careful with it. I don't think that long tail would do well in drops....

If you think about it you won't do it.

That's because it's just too easy. What's easier than having a brace on both sides? Having TWO braces on both sides

Hey PAC, lets go find something huge to huck one of your C-2's off. I'll paddle either end, either side.

And broken backs are just part of the sport.

Mike - be careful what you ask for...

So far Dale's the only one who has stepped up to have a go with me!

Oh and I currently have TGG's (Martin's) Noah America! I'd love to putter down the Big Sandy or UY in that! Maybe we can get "Not Elvis" to bring one of his along too to really ramp up the carnage factor!!!

I ain't skeered.

You've seen me paddle.... so you should be....very....very...afraid!

Mike W. · Post by **Mike W.** » Tue Dec 15, 2009 10:36 pm

So. You've seen me paddle too. It ain't like it's a big deal. Just fling it off something. If we don't land upright, roll. I guess we should probably decide in advance which way to roll...
