Bedford River Festival occurs every 2 years. It is a huge event, apparently the third biggest outdoor event in britain. I had a great time and met some awesome people/ paddlers.

I’ve got a couple new videos in the works, but in the course of making them there was some pretty good footage left over that I didn’t use.  I hated to not use some of it, so I put together this little video with all the extra stuff.  Its just compiled from some filming this past winter/spring on the Tellico, Johnnies and Little River Canyon.  Enjoy!

photos, videos, and reports of an epic creek begin floating out of Montana’s Crazy Mountains. I first ran Big Timber in 2002 on an epic trip with Gordon Dalton, Josh Sandage, and Harris Haynie, and it immediately earned a place on my list of favorite creeks and places to go back to. After freestyle team trials this year in Missoula, I finally got the chance to head back there. We had a long, great day on the river, and I shot a lot of head cam footage.  Here’s the virtual tour:

it was one of this day, when you feel lucky to be there.

Blue sky and sunshine in a summer day.

That’s Pyrenees, of course !

Thank you Stephanie for this sweet vidéo.

Llech canyon, see you next year with level water more “kayaker”.

Level water is going down in Pyrenees. Perfect time to run canyons.

Fafa (Fabrice Pouyeto) in the first double slide.

I agree this one was a little bit dry, but so fun !

Fafa in on of the 16 drops runable by kayakers in Llech canyon.

Me in the hardest drop called “Eject”. After 6 meters slide on rock, your’e eject 6 meters above the pool.

All without scout.

Funny time in one of the last slide. Everybody want to go more high in two bends. Water throwned on rock were a good judge !

Llech canyon distance: 650 m. High: 165m. Time inside: 7 hours.

Next trip: Nuria canyon. Shorter but more deep !

Video is coming…

Cheers,

Eric

Cant wait till next year!!!!!

We have just returned to Petroplavosk, the capital of Kamchatka after completing our second source to sea first decent of the Karimsky River to the North.

This was an absolutely incredible trip. We put in next to an active volcano that was errupting every 5 minutes and found hot springs at the rivers edge. We had seen this river on the flight into our first source to sea on the Semalyichik and knew we would have several solid days of whitewater. The upper section consisted of long stretches of flatwater punctuated by giant waterfalls and slides and as we approached the ocean we found amazing class 4 read and run whitewater.

Simply put, it was as perfect as exploratory trips come. The logistics here have been as exciting as the rivers we have paddled. This trip was consisted of taking a giant Russian MI8 heli to the put-in and then using a sailboat to make the 20 hour journey back to the capital.

To have completed two incredible source to sea descents in just under two weeks, we are feeling tremendously successful. It is hard to convey how wild this place truly is. Waiting on the beach for our sailboat we combed the beach next to countless brown bear and wolf tracks. There have been no signs of humans on these rivers, just the wildlife that calls Kamchatka home. While we have been excited about the pure exploration of these rivers we have also begun collecting hydrological data that the kayaks are lending themselves to very well too. From here we will transition into exploring rivers that are prime salmon and trout habitat.- Bryan Smith
