- As crazy as this year has been with Covid 19, Elections, Hurricanes, and Wildfires we could at least still count on the Green Race to bring us all together, at least virtually, to witness and be a part of the good stuff: friends, stories, a great place, great kayaking, and always a little chaos.
Shane Benedict brings you the Sights and Sounds of Green Race day 2020. This year because of the pandemic the organizers asked the crowds to stay away and in return, John Grace and crew ran a fiber optic cable 3000 feet out of the gorge and to a hotspot on the rim.
For the first time ever the Green Race was live! With 6 cameras up and down the racecourse and a couple of drones buzzing around the coverage was fast and furious.
It was also great to have former Green Race champ Al Gregory and high energy banter master Brian Miller commentating on the event and covering the highlights.

It makes me giggle whenever that little green drone swoops into the picture!
Congratulations to the organizers, the racers, the tech team, mother nature, and others I'm sure I forget. Looks like one of the best Green Races ever held!
I've never kayaked white what but have been watching the sport my entire life. These are always my favorite videos, the Green Race.
I am loving the positivity! so wholesome. Thank you all.
I love this shit! Shane's stoke is frigging awesome, in fact I think he gets more stoked every year. Roll on Green Race 26, I might even be there next year :D
The energy is amazing please keep it up

Great edit, Shane! Love seeing all of my friends out there.
The rescue team hypes me up so much 🤙 good work guys
Send it. Great show as always.
So much stoke, I love it!
That was a good show! Thanks for the entertainment :)
Entertaining till the end haha, wish I could have made it this year.
I haven't seen a couple of those faces since I had the LVM subscription 💪

Nice run all.
Not as much carnage as previous years it seems. Awesome!
Any one know what kind of Drone was being used to film the Green Race?
🙌🏿🤙🏿👌🏿génial
Lol... I could write this under every Video. Shane is the most sympathic guy ever :)
I am sympathetic. I love a good story and overcoming adversity, but I'll still show them crashing their grills. :)
@@shanebenedict3204 ooops, not my first language :/
Keep this vibe. Greetings from germany
@@AB-uk4pd Your English is far better than my German!! :)
Where is this race?
is this race open to all, id love to travel from the UK and have a go
Yup. You need to enter beforehand obviously but its a huge event there in the mountains of North Carolina. It's a beautiful spot, i lived there for 5 years and paddled the *lower* green often (i lived there just before boats and people got good enough and crazy enough to run the narrows portions).
The run itself is open year round if there is water flowing and the access is public so if you have a solid group you can go whenever, not just during the race. That section is way past any skill level ill ever obtain in my little LL remix!
6:47 "I think he said : Grab Me!? ..." :-D
Y'all make me want to lose thirty years off my age and go do that again.
Fantastik good
Where is the video of Morrisey's swim in the thumbnail?
Went looking for that as well. Couldn't find it. Haha.
Yep sorry about that. The hype team went full send on that one. I wish I had gotten it but I was up top so too far from the action.
i would like to know the history behind the “bird trapper” name you call the canoer
Una pregunta ¿Por qué gritan de manera desaforada????? ¿Por qué gritan así?? Me cuesta entender la emoción desde ese grito desaforado..
Does Shane still got a voice?
It's getting better only now. :)
A ma zing
A question Why do they scream in an unbridled way ????? Why do they scream like that? It is difficult for me to understand the emotion from that wild scream ...
It gives me great hope as a paddler that some people who run this shit in a long boat still need to be reminded to keep their head down when they roll
Всем привет. 7.00 уже и без весла ребята пробуют ;)
Why don’t they wear face protection?
Some do. Obviously a full face would be more protective and probably a good move in this context. In normal kayaking on a hard river like this communication is really important and a lot of people choose not to wear the full face because of communication problems. But there is a price to pay sometimes.
So much for not allowing spectators.
There actually were very few spectators, racers, safety, and media totally out numbered the folks just watching.
@@shanebenedict3204 That's fair, I wasn't trolling. Happy to see a good time
Why this guy obsessed with shaving?
The idiocy of all those youngsters wearing masks outdoors before the race is just mind boggling. lmao
Real kayakers don’t wear masks
Awesome

tal vez a muchos de ellos, les pasaría lo mismo viendo a la gente en una cancha de futbol, a mi me sorprendió, de buena manera ver a gente divertirse muy fervorosamente, abrazo.
