The one person who disliked this truly belongs on the Internet. They will never aspire to have the balls or talent that this man has. Loved the video from a beginner.
This is one of the best videos I've ever seen. First saw it years ago and it still gives me a 'rush' watching it =) Got me into kayaking and making videos thanks man.
Amazing !!! Im just getting into Kayaking and your story and parents legacy is Inspirational. Great Respect to Rush continuing what his parents started. Great Story
Rush... you guys are incredible. All the Tribe guys and friends slay, but the camera work and editing is taking things to an even greater level, keep it up guys. This one really gets the inner excitement going, LET IT RAIN!
You can officially say that you have been in a Perception Dancer though, at your tender age, you won't have had the misfortune to have actually had to paddle one for any length of time! Great music, great vid, keep it up Rush - and I look forward to the next movie. Off to paddle Lee Valley tomorrow...
A while back, maybe ten or so years ago, an expert kayaker who had grown up with the sport, was one of the safety boats on a commercial raft trip down Section IV of the Chatooga, at extremely low water - about 1.1 at the US 76 bridge. He didn't have much to do; the Vs become IIs & IIIs. He was playing in an innocuous spot, flipped & wrapped around a rock. His hand was visible above the water but it took over an hour to free the kayak and recover his body. That's when Rush is at risk.
One of the most phenomenal videos I've ever seen, and that tune, holy shit this was well put together. I actually met him, had no idea who I was speaking too, except that he was a kayaker. Wish I would have known what a legend of the sport he is. I could have asked if his bowling balls are really made of titanium, and how he stays afloat!
Great video. Kayaking looks cool. I'd never try the line from 3:37 - 3:47 no matter how good I was at kayaking tho. I mean he hit it just right and he still landed on a rock.
Question for movie people : How were the clips of the river made, where the water level drops in what seems like "time lapse" style. the banks of the river stay Exactly the same in both the High and Low water level in the clips. i wonder if the low level is the original clip, and the high water is masked from another clip and placed over? it doesnt quite look like time lapse to me.
Rush, You may be too good for your own good. I don't think the danger is as much in this really scary, super intimidating stuff - you're on edge and ready for that - as in something mild, when you don't pay attention for a split second, and get caught in a keeper-hyraulic, or get pinned underwater, or slam your head against a rock. I pray you never have a serious accident, but man, I worry for you.
All the variables are calculated to run the stuff he does, including the danger. If you really think he is running these rapids without proper scouting and calculations then your sadly mistaken.
that was.. one of the best videos I have ever seen on TH-cam
Still one of my favorite videos! And it introduced me to blackmill who I absolutely love now!
Blackmill and kayaking-life doesn't get any better than this :-)
Amazing skills, superb video edit!
Well done my man! A life of kayaking and kayaking is life, all rolled into a video . Best kayaking video I've seen.
Stop talking john

Love everything about this video. *Truly inspired*.
Yesssss. Perfect intro, Winter/summer transitions are epic. Precise slow motions. Good music.

The first song is "Spirit Of Life" by Blackmill... Second song is by Emancipator called "First Snow." It's an excerpt from the end of the song...

Amazing !!! Im just getting into Kayaking and your story and parents legacy is Inspirational.
Great Respect to Rush continuing what his parents started.
Great Story
Rush... you guys are incredible. All the Tribe guys and friends slay, but the camera work and editing is taking things to an even greater level, keep it up guys. This one really gets the inner excitement going, LET IT RAIN!
You are such amazing guy...incredible. I love kayaking so much. Im doing it recreationally. :)
This is one of the best short kayaking vids I've ever laid eyes on!! Inspiring, sick footage! Keep'r lit Rush!!
This guy is on another level. I go boating occasionally but to do what he does takes crazy amounts of skill
You can officially say that you have been in a Perception Dancer though, at your tender age, you won't have had the misfortune to have actually had to paddle one for any length of time!

Off the charts! I can barely manage my "thrill" factor, "watching" this! Balls!
Nice video. Thanks. Would be nicer if you showed the full clip of the aftermath of the falls drop as well.
Blackmill fits so perfectly on this video!
That's some crazy whitewater, waterfalls,and whatever else you want to call that crazy stuff your into. Great video photography as well. STAY SAFE
