Let us know how it went! Swim confessions and carnage reports are welcome, but it's not fair to tell on your buddies!

Photos from Ohiopyle Falls

Post by slo2rol »

Though not a trip report, pictures are better than words... Here are links to a few taken by Jess Stuart. Mango, who was taking pics / video from our group?

Generally, I think that if I have the opportunity to paddle, and I've got something else to do or I feel like I shouldn't go for some reason, then I force myself to go and I always have a great time. So, I guess when in doubt -- Go, Paddle. -- Tommy Hilleke

I am so jealous. Next year I will be there running after you. Damn the man for making me work. :twisted:

Great shots!

The one of the Sejal boof needs to go to the magazines. Paddling with tough chicks rocks.

Oh, and this one:

Yeah, I really "styled" that 2nd run. My only consolation was somehow managing to roll on my first attempt despite getting my skirt blown out on impact. It also motivated me to go back up for a 3rd run, seeking just a wee bit of redemption.

Mango -

After the first run, you mentioned something about someone having our runs on video. Who was that mysterious person? Do they have any still photos? Are they willing to share?

The pro photographers at Ohiopyle had a great sequence for both of my runs, but they haven't uploaded them to the internet yet :evil: :twisted: Mrs. slo2rol would like to see pictures :D and I'd like for her to see the better of the two boofs (2nd run) and Jess Stuart didn't catch that run :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Katie was nice enough to take the video with my camcorder. Getting ready to put it on the computer to see what's there. Will try and put on Flickr soon. Let you know later.

Edited the first clip and am going to post on flickr.
It is the first run of Guy, Brandon, Jim and Sejal.

Though I did end up flipping in the boil and having to roll after landing, I got a little better boof on the second run as seen here: First shot of my 2nd run sequence - use next button above picture to advance photos

Sorry about the need to enter your e-mail, but they got a good sequence and I was feeling a little inferior after my first post to start this thread :twisted:

Thanks Mango and Kat!e for the videography! Always cool to see what it looked like from outside the boat... though I personally liked the view from the driver's seat!

Would personal copies be available?

These are awesome. Sejals by far is the sweetest. Brandon - whose photos are those? Any chance to get the photos?

So now your a video star! :D E-mail me, I have them both seperated and can send them. They are a little over 5m each. Will your e-mail accept that size.

Jess(ica) Stuart took the photos that were linked in the first post - I followed a link from BT to her flickr set. I'll PM you her e-mail address. My second post just takes you to Ohiopyle Adventure Photography - you know the deal on that - $30 or $45 or $60 for your pics.
