Cool looking way to run whitewater.

Post by Greg Tackett » Fri Dec 26, 2008 8:05 pm

Found this video on MSN. Looked neat. Called Sledging. Look at some of the other videos that have more footage of this. My only problem is they are calling these class 4 and 5 rapids. I think not!!!!

Hey Greg, I know for a fact that that is lots of fun! I do it all the time, except instead of laying on one of those little plastic contraptions, I just lay on top of my inverted canoe!!! :D

Actually, I've seen those out west several times, especially on Brown's Canyon at low water. That video kind of even looks like the Ark...maybe The Fractions?

We saw several of those doohickeys on the Upper Gauley back in September. I thought they were kayakers holding on to what was left of their keels after following the ARG line through Iron Ring or Sweets Falls.
