how can you put anything against me when you haven't meet me skibum.
the person who taught me and I respect was on the Trip and wasn't mentioned once in aarons TR, why not? his story was one person of 4's view on the canyon. he missed over half of the trip......
i have nothing to prove in kayaking like i said i have wanted to do this canyon for 2 years now because its something other than driving 5 hours to gore.......
i run the drops i do because 1st off i know my physical ability
and 2nd because i know my crew( something you should try to paddle with) has my back.
and how can you skibum act like i can't paddle im sure aaron can say otherwise.
I don't have to meet you, you are doing a perfect job showing what kind of person you are by being on the board. Nobody, at any time has said you can't paddle, I think the general consensus is the "Class V+++ UBER GNAR TEH BOX ELDER!!!!1" may not be such a high level run, and maybe you are overplaying it a bit. No one is saying it isn't a cool run. Aaron himself has said he wants to go back and do it again. And, I'm sure you have experienced it yourself, when one person says one thing, like that dude you kind of know in biology class, but your best friend says something completely different, you tend to side with the person you know a bit better. The whole thing has gotten out of hand, and I am simply trying to prove a little bit of a point to make you think a bit about the consequences of your actions, and of your tongue.
Oh, and because I am a nice guy, a.k.a. the Grammar Nazi:
"How can you put anything against me when you haven't met me, skibum.
The person who taught me and whom I respect was on the trip wasn't mentioned once in Aaron's TR. Why not? His story was one of four points of view in the canyon. He missed over half of the trip.

Thank you and goodnight. I'm washing my hands of this. It has been drawn out far too long. The great Wyoming kayaker's fight. I won't play a part in it, anymore. If you want, though, Mike, (and I am dead serious with this) come up here, I want someone to run the Lower Tongue with.

Ok, one more little point. I have never had to own a kayak. I worked for the college for four years, and didn't need one. I used their demos. Now, I work off and on for Aaron, and use his demos. I have all the kayaks I could ever want. Why would I drop close to a grand on a boat when I don't need to? I can save that money to afford to go on all the trips I do.
Now, I am really done. Syanara.

GA I was expecting you to come back with rivers/creeks for my east coast drops I through out? What the hell? I used to go back east every April to warm up for the season.

I dont' recognize the first two...or Tingle Balls. I think those suckers are in the Chattanooga area. Never made it over there to paddle with Tony in his back yard. "Shoot me in the face with a 9mm" is my favorite name.

There are so many good rivers, creeks, and runs. I can't wait until the season really starts here. I'm stoked to get on the river, boof around, and drink beers with my home boys.
I never liked Stairway to Heaven.. it might be b/c I have degenerative Cartilage loss between S1 and S2 from a weird hit on the green about 10 years ago. I run it, but it's not as much fun as the stuff on Energizer, Wintergreen, Mike Tyson's, or Mortal Kombat. God do I love Mortal Kombat.
