World Record Waterfall Run 
Modified By John Koeppe  on 5/13/2009 7:04:44 PM)

Well, this obviously isn't anyone from the club making this run, but thought folks might like to see this if you haven't already come across this.  The link (see below) shows Tyler Bradt (age 22) running Palouse Falls in Washington state - a 186' drop.  That isn't a typo.

 

Hope you enjoy the link.  - John Koeppe

Re: World Record Waterfall Run 

Ya know, I was kind of pissed they made such a stink about withholding the video for 1+ weeks and pimping it out media outlets.

 

However, seeing it on Sports Illustrated, who I guess was the highest bidder, I like that it's getting premiered to a mostly non-kayaking audience, hopefully it draws fresh enthusiasm & interest for the sport.

I like how he starts with a whole paddle and finishes with only half!
