Well it is one of the most well know creeks in CO and for good reason. O be Joyful offers water falls slides and even a couple stompy holes if you are not paying attention. I manage to get my yearly trip in a week or so ago, check out some head cam footage.

Fibark
Check out some entertainment from Fibark, one of the biggest boating festivals any where.
We kayak raced through number Four in the numbers and then Rodeo'd it up in Salida.

Teva Games
Teva Games in Vail CO always goes off huge, this year was no exception. It all starts off with the Homestake race, a rather nasty course with a stacked field of competitors.
Check out the quick edit of my race run
Next up was the boater cross events, both raft and kayak head to head fights to the finish.
The kayak race contained almost as much action. The added bonus to the kayak portion is the 8 Ballers, a group of kayakers devoted to crashing the racers off line and over all creating mayhem.

Bakers Box
Early this spring I went down to help out the Four Corners guys with there big preseason swap. Well, it wasn't preseason for all of us, I got a guided tour through one of the most containing canyons any where. It also has some amazingly ruff access issues, the sign on the private property that you walk across for a mile or so reads, Trespassers will be shot and survivors will be shot again.
