That looked awesome.

 

[Newell Steamer]

This is beyond stupid - almost as stupid is squirrel suit jumps.

Canadians​

That was a lot more intense than I thought it would be.

 

[destrekor]

Shit, I'd so do that...

at least a couple of years after having experienced any kind of kayaking. I've been meaning to buy one...

That looks like so much fun. So dangerous though. Wiping out would be almost fatal.

What would also be fun and probably safer is going down a ski hill in a canoe. If ever I somehow get the chance to try that, I'm totally in.

LOL. Canadians.

If the drainage ditch connects a pair of lakes and/or river systems that let me go somewhere cool?

Ditches, bitches!

"That is the dumbest thing I've ever seen a dummy do."
(If you don't wipe out, it's incredibly fun, and a hell of a lot more difficult (obviously from the video) than you'd think)

LOL wow, ya that was a bit steeper of a hill than I had in mind, but looks like it could be halla fun if you can keep control but looks quite hard on that type of hill.

Definitely earn that poutine when you get the the chalet at the bottom.

 

[Markbnj]

Haha that was awesome. I assume they knew the ditch well and knew there were no weirs or anything else to shred them to pieces.

That kayak run looked like a million bucks worth of fun and terror.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

That looked like so much fun.

Craziness.

 

[manimal]

Those guys drink mt dew code red

 

[swanysto]

How bad, if at all, does that tear up the bottom of the kayak?

 

[DrPizza]

I'm almost looking forward to snow again. Just realized that it might be a lot more fun to organize some downhill kayaking races somewhere.

 

[ch33zw1z]

Cool. I wouldn't do it, I lack the experience to attempt something like that. But good for them.

 

[SpunkyJones]

Holy Crap that looked dangerous and awesome. Wasn't expecting it to be that fast. I would have been dumb enough to try this when I was younger and probably be killed doing so.

..more gouges..but those boats were already a bit beat up....minimal.... not nearly as poor off as those paddles became.....

 

[blackdogdeek]

That was intense.
