Game Over

Unfortunately the second group did not perform as well as the first. The race is over for the Americans. It was mainly the first runs for everyone. Second runs where a lot better for all, just not enough to overcome the hole that was dug on the first. read more

Holy Cow

What an amazing site. This course is one of the coolest, most exciting whitewater parks around. It is nonstop action from top to bottom.


On another note, the Chinese really know how to put on an event. Service with a smile, and five star accommodation. Ask Scotty and Benn about their pillow menus and what flavor became their favorite. Just be prepared state side as we might have been a little spoiled.

Snittest of Them All

In the past, the snittest of them all award has been given to the person with the most snits during the racing season. Sometimes one snit trumps all if, the snit is spectacular enough to spur conversations weeks or years later. Some accept this award graciously with a smile. Yet others politic last minute hoping voters will reconsider. No longer will we reminisce about past snits. I proudly introduce the "Snittest Poll." Please, if you witness a worthy candidate, show them respect by giving them your vote. read more

Kayak in the Final

It almost seemed as if we would be shut out of the final. Anyone who has been to Augsburg knows that you have to stay on top of the judging there. When our C-2 came down they were not sure which gates they hit, they just assumed 3 were hit. That was resolved and so was Parsons bogus touch, launching him just inside the final. Maybe if the team bugs him enough he will actually give a first hand account on one of his races for the blog. In fact, why don't people click that little comment button and let Scotty know that you would love to here from him, or anyone else for that matter. read more
