Class V kayaking on the South Saint Vrain River, Lyons, Colorado

This 4-minute video shows footage of the Class V creek boating on the South Saint Vrain River, including a number of the gnarly drops. It highlights the Narrows drop. The kayakers are Scott Young from Lyons, Colo., a veteran of the SSV, and Matthew Brodene of Longmont. This footage was taken May 20. This is the river on which world champs Tao Berman and Scott Shipley will be racing next weekend, June 12-14, at the Lyons Outdoor Games. For more information please visit www.LyonsOutdoorGames.com.
