all i can say is WOW

bigest i have ever done it ... was a solid 7300 for the whole run

i looked at the gauge in the morning and it was 5200 .... it ended up being a little higher then we exspected

we waited at the log jam for over an hour becouse we thought it was gona bust lose, we saw may big logs break out of it ... but the main jam seemed to hold even with tons of logs hamering it from up stream, so finaly we got the balls to finish the run

it was full on bigwater 5 ....a swim would have been a drowning at that flow

the surfs we did get where amazing , but i was to griped to play much with all the wood moving around in there

we all fliped at least once ... and had to puch some huge holes

epic for sure but i duno if im gona do it that high anytime agian soon haha

last time i did it near that lvl it was comeing down off of a 13,000 peak , so it had no wood and was droping the whole time

thinken about a nice mellow 6000 upper green tomoro :)

Hey BW sounds way rad ! Was fortunate to be a part of a Sky crew today that included a successful run of Boulder Drop by all .

Rob M and I are thinking Green tomorrow ( Fri.) as well. In afternoon

It would be great to hook up.
