Ha ha! Someone else told me about those trout downtown. I gotta try. 🤣 What a paradise, I ve been hanging up there in my white mini van every summer. Feel free to reach out
I’m not sure when this video was made. I was excited when I saw this video but it didn’t meet my expectations. I’ve grown up listening to the early stories of FIBark. I’ve seen home videos., tons of black and white photos and attended races since I was a little girl. My dad is Dannie Makris and my uncle is Teddy Makris. Two brothers born and raised in Salida who competed in FIBark from 58-70. Two local boys who competed with those top Europeans. Walter, Roger, Fletcher, Frank, etc. They either won or finished w/in the top 5 in both the downriver and slalom. My dad was the National Champion in downriver 61-63’ and slalom in 63’. They represented the USA in the World Champion Chips. My dad was the commodore in 65’ and was inducted in the Hall of fame. I’m only writing this because I would think Salida would be proud of the talented boaters they produced as a result of FIBark. Which is an important historical legacy of the race.
Nikki Makris I lived in Salida briefly from the mid ‘60’s to late ‘70’s. Patronised the local library and other community organisations. Never heard about the local competitors. Never came across any historical references on FIBark races. Congrats to your family members. I remember sitting on the rocks, in the shadow of Tenderfoot Mtn. watching the races. I also remember the Hooligan Races, ha. What a blast. Thanks for your comments.
Apparently from June 15 thru June 17 Each year there are lots of events and crowds and swimming in Salida. 4 wheelers, photography, tubing, fishing, I'm coming up from Denver if anyone wants to go or meet me I'm doing a 4 wheeler youtube video 2023, 2024 too!

It's truly an international sport
1995 coincidentally was a huge snowpack/flood year…. Higher water faster times
John Sanker..Colorado Whitewater, Ft. Collins, early to mid 70s
