Note the ultra low angle this image was taken from, (at water's level) just 30 yards below Foote Dam. Andy was glancing back to see where Serge was, and Matt...

No, with the water depth the first mile below Foote if would be very hard to get away. I heard they were smacking paddles at the corner before the finish, did...

Sorry Mark, I was being lazy about the links. I am trying to get up the energy to put some more video on there, I have 8 years worth. I'm thinking of just one...
Hey, was paddling ever a non-aggressive non-contact sport? These very superb young paddlers were provided a couple of very valuable lessons this year, at the...
I too have viewed this video several times. Many thanks to Dave for providing it! Yes, I see Serge and Jeff coming in on Andy and Matt, but that is racing. ...

Anyone who would like very good close-up pictures of this so called rubbin let me know and I will forward them to you. I have some good ones that are not on...
I'm with you on this, Don. It looks like Jeff tried to pull away, but I think there was plenty of time for the sprint to unfold. I sure hate to see folks...
