The foam boater vid was an instant classic!

I agree, it looks like an Ocoee.

As for the hole, I'm fairly certain that's Phil's Hole in McKoy's Rapid on the Ottawa. Been through there plenty of times usually getting window-shaded and/or being ripped out of my boat and/or losing a shoe in the process.

There's a short video from the rodeo there a couple of years ago, called "open canoe beatdown" I believe, with Colin Moneypenny having actually a pretty good run while it lasts...

Who was that in "Canoes Suck" at 1:50? Kind of a bad-@ss eddy turn.

Straying just a little O/T, I have to say that though there are a lot of great, if not inspirational Youtube canoe videos, I have to credit Jeryl, co-owner of a little (mostly) kayak shop in Dayton, OH who steered me away from a kayaking video I was going to buy and put a copy of "Tales of the Paddlesnake" in my hand. That moment was the birth of whitewater canoing for me. I still love the hades out of that old vid.

One of the best from the GDI gang for sure.
(if anybody has a version with music feel free to link it it was great beat)

Believe it start's off with Mark Scriver, and then quickly proceeds to a couple of on the spot single blade conversions.... followed by the ever popular beat-down fest.

Loved the Dog river series, the longest viewing session I've done on youtube, should be on DVD

Are those responsible on CBoats?

Dan Flath, the guy who made the Dog River film, occasionally posts here. and Dave, the guy in the Red Probe, also posts under "dafried" I believe. Dan's other films on Youtube and Vimeo are very good.
