    Awesome video, it's really refreshing to see some nicely edited footage from your average ( not sponsored by red bull to run 40ft falls in a costa rican rain forrest ) kayaker. Keep up the good work! Also what song did you use for the first segment? I've had it stuck in my head for weeks now.

      Hey, sorry for the late reply. Sometimes I don't get notifications on on comments and I miss them. Thanks a lot for the positive feedback. I'm finding that lots of people enjoy following a normal paddler with normal progression. It's awesome to be able to share the journey with fellow boaters. A few people were asking about this beat and I looked back to the source and it doesn't seem to exist there anymore. If you'd like I can email you the mp3 file.

      I'm still trying to get my sponsorship- but haven't heard back from Ensure yet. :/

    Dude, the slow mo show of you going over Ohiopyle Falls had me cracking up. Great edit.

    I think you need a bit more buoyancy in your boat.

      Thanks! I've been on hiatus for a year and a half. I pushed myself harder than ever in my last season after coming back from shoulder surgery. Injuries and physical wear and tear were starting to compound too quickly so I took a break. I'm still trying to get the footage edited from that last season. Cheers!

    Good to see there's hope for me in my early 50's. I watch the Serasolses brothers, and I think, "better give up dude!" Your down to Earth vids are sensational! Thanx!!!!

      +seanoleary1979 Hey, thanks!! I am glad you got the point of the videos! You don't have to be a pro or God's gift to kayaking to push you limits and have a little fun. Cheers!

    Not a novice, just leans the wrong way at times.

    • @ThomasWeakley

      Haha, I like your outlook in it.

  • @aarongreen4358
    @aarongreen4358 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I see in this vid you are using a different kayak. What boats have you progressed to and from and which are your favs?

  • @nawdude4292
    @nawdude4292 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    How are these not class 4? Looks like really strong currents, waves, eddys you can get stuck in, and big drops. Can anyone clarify, is this really just class 3?

    • @zachariahschiada2440
      @zachariahschiada2440 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I was thinking the same thing. Usually people over classify but these class IIIs look way bigger than what I have around here in central nc.

    Hey Thomas, great video!
    I was wondering where did you find the first song? I know it's Raise Up from Producer IV Beats but I couldn't find it anywhere.

    • @ThomasWeakley
      @ThomasWeakley  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey, thanks for the feedback! I looked to the original source where I got this beat and it doesn't exist there anymore. Give me your email and I'll send you the file.

  • @kayaker4lifee
    @kayaker4lifee 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Good opening...well edited. Couple tips a noticed, you need to face more upriver whole trying to ferry across. You end up farther downstream sometimes during the video. Take a stroke while going through holes and bigger waves, keeps you balanced while going through. Other than that solid kayaking, great watch.

    • @ThomasWeakley
      @ThomasWeakley  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for the feedback! I do tend to have too much angle on my ferries. Glad you enjoyed the video.

  • @ultravisitor4780
    @ultravisitor4780 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great video, as always. Like another viewer mentioned, it's cool to see well edited videos from your average paddler. I've watched you progress at a similar rate to myself, though you seem to be ahead of my progression. We must be fairly close, geographically, based on the rivers you run. I believe I've seen some familiar faces in your videos, as well. I'm wondering if Nancy (toward the end of this video) is the same Nancy I met at Week Of Rivers in North Carolina. If so... she's awesome. Always fun sharing campfire stories with her.

    • @ThomasWeakley
      @ThomasWeakley  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks! I really appreciate the good feedback! I live in Maryland. Close to the DC area now. And yeah, that's the probably the same Nancy. She goes to Week of Rivers every year! I love paddling with her. Great friend and awesome paddler. I'd say lets link up at WOR this summer but I'm currently having some shoulder issues that I don't think will be resolved in time for me to go. I did make it to WOR last year and it was amazing. The southeast has so much to offer.

    Great videos. How did you get such a good slow motion from a go pro?

    • @ThomasWeakley
      @ThomasWeakley  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks! Glad you liked it! For the slow motion I set the GoPro to Pro-Tune 1080p @ 60fps then I used a frame-blending effect in Adobe After Effects called "Pixel Motion" to create additional frames and stretch the slow-motion out even further. I think GoPro Studio software may offer a similar frame-blending effect.
