I have just returned from a month in Colorado and Wyoming with the Academy of Huge Experiences, traveling with trip co-leader, Jason Aytes, and nine of the coolest 15-17 year old paddlers I could imagine. It was a real privelege to travel with those guys. Please take a moment to check out our trip blogs if you have a second. http://gohuge.blogspot.com
And check out Huge Experiences web site to learn more about their program.

While in Colorado we attended the US National Freestyle Kayak Championships, held at the Salida play park. I myself was just shy of making finals but decided to film it nonetheless. I must say that this was bar none, the most impressive hole competition I've ever seen, and the hardest competitive field I've seen. These are highlight videos I put together of the men's pro finals. They are listed in order of how the person placed in nationals. Enjoy and learn.
(some of these links may not work now since i had to take some of the files offline. i needed the space.)
1st Place Stephen Wright
2nd Place Bryan Kirk
3rd Place Jimmy Blakeney

7th Place Jed Selby
8th Place Greg Parker
9th Place Dustin Urban
10th Place Seth Chapel
11th Place Andre Spino-Smith
If you can't tell from the video it takes an incredible amount of concentration and precision to be able to throw all the moves that are being done in a one minute ride. I have the women's rides as well but have been unable to edit those yet. I will put those up too.
Now the big news. The Effort.tv store
is finally functional and is selling the new kayak DVD, ENTER the DONKEY.
CLICK HERE to learn all there is to know about the video and buy it for the very low price of $14.99.
Additionally, Effort.tv and Deadman Productions have put our new DRUG FREE LIFESTYLE t-shirt on sale at the online store.
