Video: Training for the Grand Canyon on the Ottawa with the Zen by jacksonkayak | Jul 14, 2014 | Whitewater | 3 comments Hey all, Know your curious. OK, maybe not, but I had the chance to start a bit of a documentary on my upcoming trip to the Grand Canyon. I’m super excited, but need to get back into pushier water. Phase 1, if you remember, was to bring out Billy Harris to do some pushing. Check. Phase two this past week was to hook up with Mike McKay (noted videographer) to the Ottawa to document my efforts. He had a plan: A) under the guise of filming, make Indiana James run each rapid a bunch of times. B) try to make him look pretty. Mike succeeded in both counts! Below is my second Canyon prep video, WAY better produced than the first one 😉 Thanks much to Mike for all his work on this. Nothing like seeing Indiana James in slowwwww motion whitewater shots 😉 [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ei8P-VQo4AM[/youtube] 3 Comments hilde on July 15, 2014 at 2:20 am Nice James!
