The Big South Fork of the Poudre
If you've paddled class V in Colorado, you may see someone you know here- The Big South; Colorado's premier class V full day adventure run! This posting bring you photos video and slideshows of this classic gem. Joe Keck padding a big boat (Mega Rocker) through a tight slot on Fantasy Flight. Oops... actually, someone just told me that he paddles the regular Rocker... Alex Hotze routes Fantasy on the less often run rivr right side. Pete Stromberg styling Fantasy Flight. See the full photo Sequence of this line as a slideshow....coming soon.. Evan Stafford shows some sweet technique and poise on Fantasy Flight. Chris Menges on his 3rd Big South run paddling Cool World for his first time. Lawrence Simpson with nice boof in Cool World. Check out the sequenced slide show on this line early next week right here. Lawrence 'relaxing' after Cool World. Post-boof and floating. Cool world. Upside down on Double Trouble . Is this paddler in trouble? Check out the slideshow and decide (near end of post). The Big South is one of Evan Stafford's local runs. Maybe that's why he looks so relaxed mid rapid on Double Trouble. The view from above. Evan pulling the late boof. Alex Hotze pulling a perfect late boof on Double Trouble. The view from below. Lawrence Simpson, Double Trouble. He totally swam here. Just kidding! Fred Zacherl lapped Double Trouble and had the best lines I saw that day. Here Fred power boofs over the hole. Mike Haggadorn on Slideways. _______________________________________________________________
