Some og these commercial rafts look seriously overloaded. Excellent vid by the way
-
Superb. For any raft guide who has really ever "been there". 25 years summed up in 22 mins for me ....the life, the carnage, the sweet nightmare and the terrible moment. Hilariously choreographed too! Keep it up boys look forward to 2016.

Damn, that was some good carnage! Glad that I DIDN'T see this BEFORE I went white water rafting! Lol!

This video brought back so many memories of whitewater kayaking in my youth. Insane but never felt more alive. There is NOTHING like it. GREAT Videos and music to accompany it. Well Done My Man!

What drop is at 18:34 in the video. I am a pretty inexperienced kayaker, but that looks super fun. For some reason I think it's the Upper Gauley somewhere in west virginia, but I don't do enough paddling to know, reminds me of a rafting video i seen on vhs, Great video, it's getting me inspired to do more paddling. The most memorable moments I've had were on the lower yough in ohiopyle. I canoed it with my dad when i was like 10ish then kayaked part of it at age 14. Kayaked east fork of the obey, somewhere in Tennessee. The ocoee always seemed super intimidating, but a childhood friend lives in chatanooga so it will be super accessible, not sure how often they drain the dam, but the Ocoee is on my bucket list of things to do in my life. Awesome video to the people that edited it, and were on the water. I'm trying not to use curse words, but that was fucking inspiring. Stay safe out that, and I will conquer the Might Ocoee river, I think it might be my destiny.

Apparently, Ocoee Rafting's motto is 'Swim the Rapids.'

3:41 thru 3:43 Me getting donked by mother nature. 😂 I LOVE THIS VIDEO! Will is the best! I hope he's doing well. I don't know how I found myself here in this clip! I'm actually wearing the black longsleeve underarmor right now from that trip as I'm typing this. It was my first time going ever, and I'm still wanting to go again one day! I think when I had went, it was the first week of July 2015. Our group was paired up with Will and my ex's entire family was on the boat too. We were crossing over Double Suck, and I'm positioned center and left, and you can see my hand sticking up out of the water on the left side of the raft! I was actually pinned under that raft at Double Suck. Somehow I was able to remain calm and hold my breath as I felt my way from under, and I was very relieved once I felt I was getting unwedged. Once I was free, I crossed my arms and legs, and it felt like an eternity to surface. I was thinking, "how long will it take me to float up with this life vest?" I thought of my family and my dog, Zelda, and I saw some purple streaks of light--when suddenly my face felt air, my face broke the surface and I took a huge big breath in. I was still in that arms crossed position, and I'm calmly floating until I hear "GRAB THE ROPE!!!!!" a few times. I realize i can stand in the still part, and there must have been 20 ropes aimed at me. Before and after this trip, I've been lifeguarding on post when the special forces combat divers would train on my shift. I think it was no accident I was able to observe their amazing calmness and long breath holds. I had been practicing their technique while I would watch them, and I believe that had ultimately saved my life. Stay safe always, my river friend ✨️🙏🪶 Er
