Instructors Nikki Doyle and Erick show Mariah Wilderness Expeditions 2010 Whitewater River Guide School class how to own Ruck-a-Chucky Falls in a 14' raft SOLO. Extreme skill and a little insanity are required for this Class VI rapid that could easily make your day less than stellar.
Watch these two show how great skill and focus- culminated from years of experience, can help keep you from being eaten alive by the River Gods, most of the time!
This poor quality camera phone footage could never do justice of actually being there in person. I am pretty sure I held my breath the whole time while I was watching them! What a ride!!!
***Side Bet*** If you can ACCURATELY guess what Erick was doing while surfing that hole in the middle of the Falls- I will buy you a beer. If you get it wrong, you buy me a beer. If you cheat me and got the answer by other than an honest guess, then you SUCK, and will have to buy everybody a beer.
*HINT* He was NOT drinking beer.
See Jeff Copley to verify your guess!
