This guy has some serious skills however those big drops are a numbers game -
I have a friend that was an extreme whitewater kayaker and screwed his back up - compressed discs etc by landing badly -
this reminds me of the Jeb Corbliss wing suit base jumper stuff- all very impressive till it goes wrong - then it just f^&c$ you up.

I have a couple of compressed discs from riding in the back of a 5 ton military vehicle on rough roads in the middle east. If you're gonna get 'em, might as well have fun doing it.

Sick video!

^^^ Guys like this guy (and the wingsuit guy) sometimes aren't meant to grow old in this world. Great skills for a goat-boater!

Great stuff DJ, thanks for posting

As much as I love my river suping on mostly class I with a bit of easy class II I have to admit that kind of hard core stuff scares me silly

Totally agree Goaty , I'd rather go other the falls at Mavericks than take on one of those falls. Heavy sh!t.... really talented riders that was first class Hellman stuff.

Great video.

I know the feeling he gets when pushing the boundaries, each day is a new challenge and you can't go backwards you have to push yourself forwards. Without that need of adventure I just feel normal.

So if anyone has some spare plastic that I can use to extend my kids slip and slide pm me.

I'll be the first to give these guys props for dropping into 100ft falls but tow in goats on waves makes me choke. Same as Chuck Peterson on water skies.
Another total waste of time...WTF are you going to do with the poles...

DJ that is an epic find thanks for posting the guy is a legend and balls of steel!!!!

Hey Piros at least he is having fun I agree dosnt apeal to me but if you dig skis like the big guy and you can get away with it why not? I think wasnt really that big so wouldnt have thrilled him as much on a normal board ...
