Fun stuff. I like the green aire's ride at double drop. Those guys seemed to have a few out of boat experiences. Fish.... has Bill seen this? He might like to see where his puma has been. I don't feel bad for the punishment I've given it now. ![]("smileys/smiley36.gif")

Yeah, the green boat had # of swims, but you have to give it to em, they stepped up from traditional raft runs, to a NW creeking classic. Props deserved.
In regards to Bill... I sent him pics of us hucking his boat off several large falls, he hasn't asked for it back yet, so... were taking her to Canyon Creek this weekend to show those Oregon Raft Team boys how it's done.

Hey hey now, we (the guys in the green boat) only swam twice each: one at Little Brother (apparently it helps to hold on when dropping 15 feet), one at Double Drop (also a bad idea to plow into rocks mid drop), and both at BZ Falls (backwards = BAD + UGLY). We were overcome by our instincts of self-preservation, however, and did not run Big Brother.

Could be wrong but didn't you and Han's both swim on the put-in seal launch as well?
You heading down to the Canyon Creek Race Tom?

The Super Duper Puma and the Shredder dumped on the seal launch after the Super Puma styled it (as seen in the video); Hans and I opted to not start the day out with a swim and just eased our boat down the bank. As for the CC race, I won't be able to make it, and that makes me very sad... ![]("smileys/smiley19.gif")
