7:16 wild recirculating hole that is folding in on itself in a constricted death creek canyon (aka: mini gorge of death) thingy with a secondary boil line that is going at like 45 degree angle uphill and also folding over on itself; Dane, not even breathing hard at this point and in a calm voice, is like "wow that was kinda rowdy"... dude... seriously?...
That's what I do when I visit the Great outdoors: I play the GANG BANGING MUSIC. Nothing is more evocative of the beauty of nature and Rugged Individualism, than The Projects, Night Clubs, and Drug Sales. LOL.
Dane, if I got into that trap at 7:16, that would be my death sentence! 😉 You are a century of talent! In my opinion the best in the world! I would like to go kayaking with you here in Germany and Austria! Greetings from Europe!!!
Makes a mere mortal like me want to stay at home and watch YT videos! Mad skills on display here... Great escape from the Eddy at 7:25. You da man for sure, Michael is a close second...
Everything except that last gorge looked fun! That last spot that Dane got stuck in should be called Fight Club.. Rowdy for sure! When currents in a gorge get backed up and you have an uphill fight to get out of a hole/whirlpool kinda thing is super scary especially when you're walled in...
I would like to think that I was a decent boater "back in the day". Recently looking at Jacobs Ladder on the North Fork, I thought "not on a good day". Some serious stones/skills guys.
@@parkerlittle567 any idea if you have to mount them or if they attach to what's already there. I've never seen them before and they look like a great idea!
Were you the first, to your knowledge, to run it in a day? Always nice to have a motor boat when lake take out is involved! Last time I saw Dane he was in diapers and his Mom and Dad were at the Gorge Games so Dad could race the Upper White Salmon. As I recall, the great slalom world champ, Scott Shipley, won by a hair. Unfortunately, the Gorge Games only lasted a few years, but they were fun while they lasted.
Nah I’m pretty confident a number of people have done it in a day, but it’s a hell of a day. Cool! Been a minute I guess! Wish the games were still around!
So you both have 20 years of kayaking skill, would you or EJ do a video series showing the different skills needed to allow normal kayakers to do the same type of rivers. Really enjoyed you river session....
Lol...All of them. You need to focus on whitewater in your own back yard. buddy. It's not just the skills but the awareness gained through hours of river running. If you are asking this kind of a question you don't really understand what you are seeing..Be safe out there guy. The obituary is full of guys with great skills.
Realistically you just avoid it as much as possible, and as long as you keep the boat straight it is fairly easy to avoid flipping. But if you do catch an edge you try to save it by bracing with your paddle, or protect yourself with your elbows and get upright by rolling up as quick as possible.
This is definitely challenging whitewater, compared to many sections. The steep slides at the beginning are more dangerous than deeper and less steep sections. The rest of the whitewater is challenging, and due to being out in the wilderness you have to be more cautious as well.
@@danejacksonkayak Dane!! I finally got a response. Do you win the Green Race every year? I have always wanted to ask you that. I see other documentaries with other great Kayakers. But you always seem to do the smoothest runs. If you will do me the honor of one more question. Do you own Jackson Kayak? Is it a family company? And finally is your dad Eric Jackson? My dad loves him. Edit: Sorry that was 2 questions! Actually 3!!! Edit 2: Never even thought about the added danger of being out in the wilderness. Thanks Dane for introducing me to such a cool sport. I have been doing much safer runs. Just got a Jackson Kayak too, for my mom. What is best paddle for 65 year old pond Kayaker aka my mom. She is 5'3". Never even made the connection to your last name, which is why I am wondering if you make Jackson Kayaks. Knowing the best Kayaker on earth owns the brand makes me think I did right by my mom on the purchase. Edit 3: Sorry about my rant. Just have so many questions.
As an ex-kayaker who still experiences an adrenaline rush just watching yt videos, answer a question: stretches of Cherry look incredibly narrow and shallow. If someone had to come out of their boat they're in for a serious bruising and skinning, right? And aren't there some places too shallow to roll?
Some slides can definitely hurt, but that one you are moving pretty fast and the rocks are super smooth so rarely it gives you big hits. I think I ran it like 15 times that summer.
I always have elbow pads, hate not wearing them, but unfortunately I couldn’t find my pair before this lap. Luckily nick flew in with a pair he must’ve stole from me earlier this year
Not trying to be a Jerk, but as much as I like kayak videos, please keep your drone out of wilderness areas, I know everyone thinks they are special but these places were not set aside for spectacular social media content.
Looks awesome! Was even more enjoyable after I turned that God awful music OFF!!! WHY OH WHY does every TH-camr like that shitty fucking unintelligible music?!?! Someone please save humanity.
John Dalton hey man not me... I’m too scared as well. I raft guide so I’m familiar with whitewater but the same section of river everyday. Not at their level either. Too crazy for me
Kayaking is not as death-defying as it appears. People like Dane are very well-trained and qualified to run this type of water. Average kayakers, like me, insure that we are qualified to run the lesser level of water that we do, all with plenty of safety. It is not risk-free, of course, but the drive to work every day is probably more dangerous.
David Maribo for sure I understand that, I could be a kayaker and I think I could be a really decent one too. I had a wavesport ezg that was too big and a paddle that was too small. As a raft guide I don’t make enough to afford the good gear so that’s part of the reason. I got my roll and my back deck too but just never got back into it. Not to mention a couple different times I nearly accepted water into my lungs lol

Watching you paddle a kayak is mesmerizing. Absolutely epic. The holes in that last mini gorge were crazy.
That last mini gorge would be terrifying to mere mortals. Hell the whole run for that matter. Stellar paddling fellas and epic footage.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it
Looks like one huge water slide! Amazing.
They make this look super easy! Looks fun.
That's what I do when I visit the Great outdoors: I play the GANG BANGING MUSIC. Nothing is more evocative of the beauty of nature and Rugged Individualism, than The Projects, Night Clubs, and Drug Sales. LOL.

You are a century of talent! In my opinion the best in the world! I would like to go kayaking with you here in Germany and Austria!
Greetings from Europe!!!
The water is so clear, and the run looks so fun, you just know that someone will have the bright idea to dam it up someday soon.
Makes a mere mortal like me want to stay at home and watch YT videos!
Mad skills on display here... Great escape from the Eddy at 7:25. You da man for sure, Michael is a close second...
Thanks!
Wow, wow, wow.. looks like a pure blast!!!
Great video, good story telling on logistics and amazing drone footage. Right on. Smooth lines
I live vicariously thru this fool. 😆😅
This made my spine tingle
Love the drone shots. I don't kayak like you do but I've been really enjoying your channel.
Everything except that last gorge looked fun! That last spot that Dane got stuck in should be called Fight Club.. Rowdy for sure! When currents in a gorge get backed up and you have an uphill fight to get out of a hole/whirlpool kinda thing is super scary especially when you're walled in...
Yepp
Bro has a set of tremendous brass balls, my God. I’m familiar with this creek and I never knew mofos were out there yakkin it. Much respect.
Crazy dudes. Cheers from Lapland✌😎
ever forward power 👍
Awesome!
DUDE, your channel is awe inspiring. It makes me want to go out and try this sort of thing out.. just on a beginners scale 😂
great edit!!
🙏
Downhill kayaking!
Sick run Dane! Would love to see a before/after pic of your hull. That run seemed like it could wear right through a boat!
Sick. Lets say sick again.
Well my boat was fresh when I got to California, its not so fresh now, but holding strong.
Очень круто, вода очень красивая и прозрачная, природа очень красивая, very cool
I would like to think that I was a decent boater "back in the day". Recently looking at Jacobs Ladder on the North Fork, I thought "not on a good day". Some serious stones/skills guys.
Dane, just stumbled across your Chanel. Loads of fun watching. Thanks for sharing. You got some serious kahonies brother. Yewww!!
Running a little hot that day! Good shills!
This video is funny with Dane just waking up at the beginning. I didn't know Dane got tired like normal humans.
I didn't know this kind of thing even existed...terrifying!
Dane...ever paddled the Milner Gorge on the Snake River in south-central Idaho? Only available in early spring.
I got it once a few years ago! It was so sick!
Damn, that was a crazy run! I wish I had my roll down so i could run stuff like this. Just learning and havent gotten my roll up.
jack straw that is class five water so you are going to need more skills then a roll, but i believe in you buddy get that roll down
Gotta start somewhere! Get that roll then keep at it till you can run stuff like this!
Amazing!
You guys are sick 😂👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻
You're AWESOME!!!
That was insane!!! Where do I get some backpack straps like those for my kayak?!? Those look awesome!
I dont know what dane is using, but i bet its the HF turtleback strap system.
@@parkerlittle567 any idea if you have to mount them or if they attach to what's already there. I've never seen them before and they look like a great idea!
@@marcusmaximus77 sorry, but i have no idea how they work :(
Upvote this, would love to see his setup looked sweet.
Dane make a video of that!
Incredible peel out at 7:25!
🙌
This run looks like a back breaker !
My back hurts after watching this 😖
Awesome

wow!!!!
You guys rock! You ever hit up any of the Yuba or American forks during low water or is it too slow?
do you ever do videos of your different kayaks and why you use them?
So you both have 20 years of kayaking skill, would you or EJ do a video series showing the different skills needed to allow normal kayakers to do the same type of rivers. Really enjoyed you river session....
Lol...All of them. You need to focus on whitewater in your own back yard. buddy. It's not just the skills but the awareness gained through hours of river running.

This shit honestly blows my mind!!
Do some more raw videos without music
No shit. Rather see the footage not someones music choices.
I actually would have liked to know the songs name. I like that there's some music too.
@@lamppuu1 Comeback by Fvmeless
What was Ferraro paddling? looks SICK
Liquid logics new prototypes (codename: alpha)
So what do you do if you flip over on a shallow slide? Some type of shoulder roll?
Realistically you just avoid it as much as possible, and as long as you keep the boat straight it is fairly easy to avoid flipping. But if you do catch an edge you try to save it by bracing with your paddle, or protect yourself with your elbows and get upright by rolling up as quick as possible.
So jealous!
Greet jobs
Are shallow runs like this more or less dangerous? Or just different kind of danger?
This is definitely challenging whitewater, compared to many sections. The steep slides at the beginning are more dangerous than deeper and less steep sections. The rest of the whitewater is challenging, and due to being out in the wilderness you have to be more cautious as well.

I’m trynna dial in my GoPro settings for paddling, what fov and such u using?
I always like to use 2.7k Superview 60fps. For POV I always find Superview gives the best perspective.
Looks so shallow! Do you die if you fall / turn over?
Did you start in Kibbie? That’s my favorite place on the planet.
Dane how do you like the salamander harness? On long hikes it seems like it would be a good investment.
I want to do kayaking with you guys

Looked for West Cherry CA. in Google Maps and didn't find anything - where is this place?
Hidden AF look it up on a river map.
Tenaya creek Yosemite
@@robertarredondo2178 nope it’s West Fork Cherry Creek near Groveland CA
nutz AF
Is this in the United States?
Yep, outside of Groveland California
Sick 😝
You must have a tailbone made out of titanium
The slide looked tailbone shattering. Didn't even look fun, just gnarly in the wrong way.
Some slides can definitely hurt, but that one you are moving pretty fast and the rocks are super smooth so rarely it gives you big hits. I think I ran it like 15 times that summer.
Your insane but the good insane, the kayaking insane
It's good to make that distinction
What was the music track you used?
Ufff 👀😵😍
I'm surprised you guys don't wear elbow pads for running rock so close.
chesky baba but imagine swimming with elbow pads
@@Fknheck If I were in that water swimming , believe me, I couldn't be wearing enough padding!
I always have elbow pads, hate not wearing them, but unfortunately I couldn’t find my pair before this lap. Luckily nick flew in with a pair he must’ve stole from me earlier this year
chesky baba no doubt I’ve just never needed them
Damn, that gave me the chills. F’n fantastic, even if you are alpha overload thill seeking maniacs.
I must meet your chiropractor, you probably keep him busy
What lake is that you ended up in?
Cherry Lake outside of Groveland California
Perfect, except for the cRAP music.
no music please
insane. if you capsize you're dead
Not quite that aggressive but definitely stout 💩
Should have just slid down the rocks on the side... That didn't look pleasant or very fun.
GREAT VIDEO, BUT CUT THE ‘RAP’ STUFF!!! IT’S REALLY ANNOYING!!!
Music ruined the video.
train me :(
The rap music didn't go good with this video..
Not trying to be a Jerk, but as much as I like kayak videos, please keep your drone out of wilderness areas, I know everyone thinks they are special but these places were not set aside for spectacular social media content.
Sorry but there more water in my fucking bath tub.
pretty solid way to destroy your tailbone and spine lol
Looks awesome! Was even more enjoyable after I turned that God awful music OFF!!! WHY OH WHY does every TH-camr like that shitty fucking unintelligible music?!?! Someone please save humanity.
I wish more average people would comment on this I’m interested to hear what they think of kayaking and the people who do this
Average guy here. I hunt, fish, hike, love the outdoors. You guys have bigger ba.... than me. No way. I'll hike it.......
John Dalton hey man not me... I’m too scared as well. I raft guide so I’m familiar with whitewater but the same section of river everyday. Not at their level either. Too crazy for me
