Hey guys! Justin here. Coming atcha from somewhere deep in a West Virginia river gorge, high up on the slopes of Canaan Valley, or from the banks of the Upper Yough. This channel exists as a celebration of West Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania whitewater, as well as a glimpse into the up and down winters on the slopes of WV mountains. Check it out and subscribe if you like what you see. I will always keep things mixed between a balance of River and Mountain Reports, whitewater and ski edits, and the occasional Top 10 of something. Enjoy! SYOTR

The MRM 2023 Year In Review
มุมมอง 6346 หลายเดือนก่อน
It was the biggest year ever for @Mountainrivermedia and we documented it all. Between the creation of a second film, a national tour of a first film, and one of the most beautiful autumn seasons I've ever witnessed, there were lots of moments to steal. Last year we ended one of our kayaking edits with my favorite song, Colors, by the Black Pumas, and it worked so well for the 2021 compilation,...

I once heard a wiser man than I say "time is the only true unit of measurement." And that measurement happens on many different levels. Some occur right in front of our eyes, but we never realize it due to our perception of time. But they are there, and it's our job to recognize them through a different lens. Every morning I watch the sunrise from my back deck, and in the autumn the famous Cana...

The Legend of Slim Pimp
มุมมอง 16Kปีที่แล้ว
Our crew had never been to Upstate New York for the late summer releases, so we took a road trip to the great north. Although we couldn't make Beaverfest, we snuck up the week before and grabbed The Moose, Taylorsville, and the Eagle Section of the Beaver. Great times all around, and we managed to create the world premier of Slim Pimp's new music video 'Sombero'. Slim Pimp has come out of nowhe...

The Tallulah Sessions
มุมมอง 2K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Part II of the southeastern tours took us to Dupont State Forest for some mountain biking, a few Nolichucky shenanigans, and then a 2021 rip down the Tallulah. But this one is all about the conclusion. Black Pumas set to mother nature and all our friends is a combo that can't be topped. Enjoy! With music by Strung Like a Horse, The Devil Makes Three, and Black Pumas.

I finished this edit over three months ago, but as always struggled with a title. So call it what you want. Over the course of two seasons, our crew ventured south to the land of late color and phenomenal whitewater. In this two part series we explore the autumn whitewater and mountain biking of WNC. In Part 1 we hit Section IV at a proper flow, followed by my highest decent of Mama Green and t...
Ski Season on the Sandy
มุมมอง 9412 ปีที่แล้ว
The 2021/22 ski season just won't show up, so the crew gave up and decided to hit the Sandy at a proper 7.2 feet. The section below Splat above 7 feet is one of my most favorite pieces of whitewater on earth. This little quick cut edit is an ode to exactly that. Shot in 120fps, we once again slowed it down a little for ya. Enjoy! #mountainrivermedia #LBS #skiseasonSandy
Slow It Down

It's the end of Yough season, so here's a little tribute to the season. This edit was filmed entirely in one day at 120 fps. It gave us a chance to showcase just a few of the moves, lines, and boofs that are home run gives up everyday. Enjoy!

This past week was a perfect time to experience the autumn in Canaan Valley. My parents were visiting so I took them to the big 3 destinations.... Douglas Falls, Blackwater Canyon, and the Dolly Sods Wilderness. All 3 locations were glowing in autumn splendor. Enjoy!

Awesome film and so beautifully captures the feel!
Go get some more! Awesome…
Amazing. 🤜🤛😎
"Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it." // "I am haunted by waters." - Norman Maclean I love the beauty of West Virginia's mountains and rivers. Thank you for showing the Cheat watershed to the rest of the world. Kudos to all involved in making this film. Your hard work and skills are evident. Thanks to WV Public Broadcasting for showing it. I look forward to discovering other MRM productions.
Nice work!👍
I’m an avid fly fisherman and spend a lot of time at my camp on Dry Fork. This spring we’ve had a lot of water and I honestly get so depressed sitting around waiting for water to drop back down to fishable levels. I want to get into creek boating so bad!
Blackwater Outdoor Adventures is a great place to start!
Fantastic work!
What a wonderful film! You really captured the essence of this special place and the people. Now there's a killer soundtrack! Much appreciated!
Wow. Just that! Great job all. Miss me some West Virginia.
Incredible video. That's the WV I love.
I like the slower version of “straight line”. Music composition is always on point. That makes a big impact on a film. Nicee.
That version is damn hard to find. Appreciate it.
This is going to be amazing. ❤
Looking forward to the film!
Worth the wait. Inspirational work. Stoked.
maybe 25 years ago I hiked a trail on "otter creek" in WV, otter creek wilderness. Is the same?
Yes it is.
Bravo sir. Outstanding. Out of all the years I’ve been interested in whitewater I have never heard of most of those tribs along the cheat. Obviously red creek the black water otter and big sandy but never the smaller ones. Great film great footage and excellent photography. Love wv always have always will. Cheers.
Love the interviews!
Spectacular photography of one of the most wonderful places you will find. Best of all are the people; Chipper and crew have helped to make this a very special place for almost half a century now. Hopefully the beauty and magic will continue on, for generations to come. Thank you to the Mountain River team for such a splendid tribute.
Absolutely incredible work, Mountain River Media! I feel very privileged to have been able to watch it!
Well done ! Excellent video
Loved the music!
Such a magical film about a magical place with magical people. Doesn’t get any better mix than this❤
Bro do you even do photos
It’s one or the other, but certainly not the complete package.
Shout out and huge respect for creating such a fascinating film to celebrate these rivers and hills. Geologic perspective was especially noteworthy. I lived in Motown 2004-2006 and was lucky to paddle all these runs many times with outstanding humans. Best days were the flooded ones - spicy indeed! Cheers from New Zealand
Wonderful love letter to such a special place…..to know WG is to love it!
Before this I did not know you could tele turn on xc skis. That changes everything!
Awesome still photos.
Check out Mountain River Media on Facebook for endless photography.
What an outstanding video! My first trip into Dolly sods area was it 1973. So I have a hiked and skied around up in there for 50 plus years. That makes me age 70. Never thought about paddling red Creek. I I have my credit card out ready to make the purchase..... Or at this age should I just rewind and watch the video again?? Great job guys this should win an award! Even my wife has a message it's "gimme that darn phone..." So I guess that's my answer.
What a great film! The way skiing should be.
I've got some photos of the first decent from back in the day.
Who was on that trip? Would love to talk with you and get copies for a future project.
Myself Matt P and John R. Got a couple of good stories for you. How about Seneca creek too? Love your excellent work. @@Mountainrivermedia
Got photos of the Upper Blackwater and the North fork too. @@Mountainrivermedia

Not for nothin....By God WV! Wonderful story. Chip and all the White Grass team are special folks ❣
Very well done! I never been there and this makes me feel like I'm living the experience and right there with everyone. It definitely pulls you in plus the mix of the video and sound is excellent holding you there and making you feel a part of it all. Great job!!
It keeps getting better and always brings a smile! I love where I live. These are some people who make it wonderful.
Pretty awesome
Well done Justin!
Thanks man. Hope you’re well.
Great video, nicely done.
Lovely film and an incredible community. Time to get back there this winter! Chip, Soup, Snow!
Beautiful documentary. I'll get there one days soon!
this was good stuff! love it!
Get it while it’s cold!
Thank you SO much for sharing this wonderful tribute. Been visiting White Grass since the mid-80's. Can't think of another place on earth that brings one in touch with your soul more so than this beautiful valley!
Well said. It’s such a special spot. Today is a White Grass day.
Fantastic film and storytelling ❤
Be in the now.
nicely done
Amen. Be present, in this moment. It’s all we’ve got.
@@Mountainrivermedia Amen to that and I love your work.
Well done, sir! As a resident of Tucker Co. from 1999-2008, I lived my best life in that valley and White Grass was a big part of that. I hope to run into you on one of my next trips back to the valley and give you a big hug. You get it and thank you for sharing! Cheers to your new little one and all those who get to experience this magical place in the future!
