Rackage For Oversized Vehicles

by Riley Frank | Dec 18, 2018 | Whitewater

We had been transporting boats on the roof of our truck camper since we have had a truck camper. Earlier this year, the truck got upgraded to a flatbed, in the process; the camper was raised up a good 6-8 inches. With the added height, medium+ boats other than a UL...

by Riley Frank | Dec 11, 2018 | Creeking, Rockstar 4.0, Video, Whitewater, WW Disciplines

By now every one knows how well the Antix does at creek boating. What isn’t as well known is how comfortable the new RockStar 4.0 is in a creeking environment. During this year’s installment of Bailey fest, I took my 4.0 down to try to add a bit more spice to the...

Low Water Big South

by Riley Frank | Jul 20, 2018 | Antix, Creeking, rivers, Video, Whitewater, WW Disciplines

July 1st typically opens the gate to Long Draw Road, the main entrance to the Big South. Due to low snow pack the water was already half as low as any flow I had previously run it at. Bar Room Brawl had wood in it that was right in the main line and Fantasy Flight...

Thursday afternoon I was loading boats onto my dads truck, getting ready to head up to Gore Fest. As I started torqueing on a strap to ensure the boats did not fall off, the webbing snapped and sent me flying backwards onto the pavement, roughly 8 feet below my feet....

Twice The Boat – Twice The Fun

by Riley Frank | Jul 12, 2017 | Creeking, Family Zone, Karma Unlimited, rivers, Video, Whitewater, WW Disciplines

For a while I’ve had a Karma/UL sitting idle only getting used every once in a while for a race or long section of flat water. Up until now the hardest section I’d paddled it on had been Gore. While gore is a fun run there aren’t many tight, must make moves. A couple...
