By now, I'm sure you all know my man, Marc Ornstien. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ofq_nl366VM

His elegance, and beauty in a canoe, has inspired me in a way that I cannot yet explain. Because of this, I have decided to leave the whitewater world. And pursue my dream to become a professional freestyle canoeist.

This is my first attempt...I do not know of the freestyle scoring system, so I just tried to look as close to Marc as I could. Clearly, it is a winning recipe in the freestyle canoeing world.

At the end of the video, you will see a few good lines of my glory days as a whitewater paddler...A world that I have left for a better place. A place where flowers bloom and self-expression is endless...

Fire the cameraman. He/she missed the chance to zoom a bit and highlight the crowning moment in that wonderful routine.. the roll-up-with-flower-in-mouth... surely a crowd pleasing and high scoring move.

I always knew you would move on to something that will allow you to benefit from the XJ among a crowd that would not ridicule you for it.
