ha ha ha truly outstanding. There needs to be an "ode to the club boater instructor". He's the guy telling you your boats too small, you're too hung over, and you shouldn't be smoking... The same guy you're hauling out on an epic lead in to grade III. Come on, you know the guy!
But really, does anyone think this is mean?? The first 3 years of boating is just Swimming With Accessories - we've all been there : )
Freakin hilarious and in no way offensive. Then again, I do forget that the world is full of hyper-sensitive crybaby assholes. Little sketchy at the end- yelling at a dude in an upside down broach pin is pretty shitty. I always laugh at dudes who act like they've never swam...that's lame as fuck. Probably one of those raft guide types who talks a big game in front of the raft customers and the girlies at the bar, but then always seems to have somewhere else to be when its time go big.
This was pretty damned great, lots of carnage. But the end bit where they were shouting at the dude caught against the rocks felt a bit iffy... Fuck it, overall this is hilarious.
I guess you jack@sses havent noticed, but the same guy that made this also has a video making fun of pro boaters called "wet dream result" Check it out, learn to take a joke and quit hating.
So calling guys who have to drive 10+ hours each way to hit a river weekend after weekend and still have to go to a REAL JOB monday morning bright and early floating pieces of sh*&$ is funny? And pro paddlers who have it all get to make fun by saying mean and embarassing things with only a crap rhythm to cover it and no joke beyond the obvious and we have to take it? No way. Don't pick on the weaker guy to get a laugh, respect your fellow paddlers. Go kick a kid in a wheelchair or something.
@lsbloom if you think this is not funny,go to your local gym and continue working on your bench press. You are wasting your time paddling. I have a REAL JOB and I still coach in my spare time, so the weekend warrior kids and parents can go throuh carnages like these after a 10 hour ride. THEY think it is exhilirating, sometimes scary, but after all it is all very very funny. I took your advice and kicked a kid in a wheelchair. I broke my foot.
I love that a few people decided to make fun of his guitar playing in response to being offended by the video. DragonUSMC im calling you out. Im glad that in your meeting you decided that this video was offensive.
Oh and by the way, the video boater "shouting ridicules" at the dude at the end was most likely a raft company employee. Sit on that rock for about ten minutes and you'll be doing the same thing.
I made the show thats awesome!!! Thats me at insig. at 1:15. I remember looking straight at you tom as i was in that hole and I thought ,sweet carnage video. There is nothing better than video to remember a good ol' fashion beatdown! Hope to see ya next year tom! I make sure to give you some sick nasty footage!!! Stay safe!!
I could see where some one might be offended, but I would tell them not to be so sensitive. No one was really making fun of anyone. Rather they were just pointing out some of the funny trends in our sport. I got my start as a club boater and some of that stuff is so true. i.e. protec helmets and dancers. It is important to be able to laugh at yourself. And if you noticed, everyone in the video who was getting beat down or swimming was grinning from ear to ear and lovin it! Great video.
@iSagada42 Ok I know, it's all in fun, the idea was good, some of the footage is great... I've done most of that stuff at least once, a lot of it more than once, and I laughed. Next time round, though, might want to dial the derision back just a wee step. I wasn't offended but I could see how a few might be.
After a few beers and a glass I remember, I meant to do that! I will be back next year to provide. In the final edit, could you slow down the Woodstock footage at 3:18? I think a double take would be nice, too. All can donate to this entertainment genre if they go to Bourbons for Pitman Creek Paddlers. A local non-profit And I really could appreciate this entered at the National Paddling Film Festival - Frankfort, KY.
I don't care if people can't take a joke, laugh a little, and enjoy a little carnage. Paddling is all about having fun, not judging people's guitar playing / lyrical writing abilities or looking down on somebody for filming a few good wrecks. And there was a lot of fun being had in that video. Great video and parody!
Two people at this very point cant take a joke....I think its funny how everyone thinks raft carnage is cool...but you fill a video of kayak mishaps and it's a different story. Maybe it's that catchy tune? haha
And whats the story with the guy at 0:32 Looks like it's at pillow....guy fall off the rock...looks like he filming carnage himself later in the song.
Without youtube great rendentions like this could never be enjoyed.
Is the funny and classy part of this "you paddle like a cow"? Or "if you were a turd you would be a floater"? Or is it the nasty jeering from the shore at the exhausted old guy trying desperately to roll at the end?
There is nothing disrespectful in this video guys! c'mon!... unless you suffer from a sever lack of humour. I am a club boater, always been one, and still teach and drive shutlles every given week end. I am no longer a stud on the water, but every time I or my friends screw it up - it ends up with a laugh... it is meant to be a funny video and this is what it is. you also could appreciate the effort to create a song for it etc... well done Tom...
This is such a funny video, with a catchy song, I think its ment to be taken lightly to those which are finding it offensive. being made by a boater for boaters to watch you know the guys would be sound chaps and happy to paddle with anyone on the river.
I had to watch it a few times just to sing along with it! good effort and we always like to watch carnage!
Must have been on a few club-sponsored trips to get that footage, huh? And who ran those trips? Probably a bunch of quite competent volunteers -- precisely the sort of wussies/old farts/weekend boaters that you seem to find so hilarious.
If you have any inkling re the history of this sport, you’d know that you wouldn’t be enjoying whatever kind of boating that, um, seems to set you apart from the “club boaters” you ridicule, including many guidebook writers, and gifted instructors…
wow... weak and ghey. Does everyone with an acustic guitar think they can play, let alone write a song? Hey wanna-be Bob Dylan. GUITAR LESSONS... take them. Or maybe I'll write a song about the Lydian mode and how you suck cause you dont know it. I'm not a good boater, but i sure as hell dont make fun of the people worse then me... I'm just happy to see them enjoying the sport.
HEY! Thats me dancing on Pillow Rock at 2:56 and front flipping into the eddyfence of the Room of Doom at 3:09. I'd love to get a clip of just that footage if you have it? Or big screenshot.
That jump, there at 3:09. Was the scariest thing Ive ever done. First no one was watching really. Second I landed in the eddy fence in between the room of doom and the current, which sent me straight to the BOTTOM of the river. I got dragged across a lot of rocks and didn't pop up downstream for half a minute. Shit was crazy. Way fun though!
hey, good fun
what's the river(s)?

What would you do if you lost your sponsor
My roll may suck, but I earned a buck
bought my own boat, kept the company afloat
Guys like me keep the business alive, so guys like you can get your free ride
We all know you're cool, but you sound like a fool
When you forget where you came from and where you're goin'
Someday you'll be old, and the truth be told
You're gonna be as rusty as that horn you;re blowin...
