(Hope this isn't inappropriate!)
I just watched the DVD that Bob Fries took at last year's OC Slalom Nationals hosted by Wausau Kayak and Canoe Corp. in Wausau. It is a totally different perspective than I've seen, and I really liked it.
Highlights; Randy Carlson and Gordon Black SINK a glass Caption, New Boats (from Esquif, Bell, Robson, Pyranha, Millbrook and Ray Ingram's Stingray.) Great technique shots of smokin' runs by KAZ, Dana Henry and Eli Helbert. Gate 17, and the infamous "TUG-O-WAR"... and it's 50 minutes long of Open Boating of "all" skill levels.
Paddlers Shown; (Some are C-boats.net regulars) Steve Arnold, Scott Berry, Gordon Black, Jim/Jan Bollerman, Allen/Megan Burgmuller, Randy Carlson, Vanessa Charon, Mark Clark, Amy Conger, Bob Connolly, Roy Crimmins, Dewey Ewers, Steve Frazier, Bob Fries, Teal Fyksen, John Graye, Brian Heikenen, Eli Helbert, Dana Henry, Dan House, Fiona Hugh, Amy/Sonny Hunt, Ray Ingram, Ruth Jaeger, KAZ, Julie Keller, Tanya Kramer, Mary from Kansas (sorry!), Connie Miner, Sam Montague, Laurie Zen Netzow, NZ Matt, Jeff Oxenford, Dave Paton, Bob Putnam, David "pyscho" Simpson, MJ Simpson, Slade Smathers, Craig Smerda, Bob/Jill Stecker, Charlie Steed, Pete Steffes, The DAM Guy, Andy Walker, Wausau Safety Team, Scott Watson, Chuck Wendler, Bill Wertenberger, Andrew Westwood, Tom/Tina Wood, Yoshi and Yoichi.

...it's about every blue moon you get a c-boating video.. let alone an OC video that shows a lot of good technique. This is the most common place for c-boaters to chat so I thought it would be a good place to let people know about it. (I hardly ever look at boatertalk.. too much OT and EGO garbage for me....)
