Tyler Bradt World Record Footage ONLINE

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNXh9gXDd2Y



After about a year we have decided to release the footage of Tyler running Palouse. One year after the descent Tyler and a crew went in with a surveyor to get an accurate measurement. The falls came in right around 189 ft. Just a few feet taller then I had measure with 3 throw bags put together....



I imagine this record will stand for some time, but... you never know!… Continue

North Fork Feather Tobin Race Results

Just back from the 19th annual Tobin race. Thanks to American Whitewater, this section of class IV has scheduled flows throughout the summer. Special thanks to Macy Burnam for putting it on and providing all the scandalous prizes.



It's exciting to see that people are fired up on downriver racing. There were over 300 people camped out on the river and the "long boats" are back in a major way. The Green boat and Dagger Nomad took the top spot in all 3… Continue

Alexandra Falls World Record 2 Year Anniversary

On Sept 7th 2007 Tyler Bradt set the World Record Waterfall Descent of Alexandra Falls at 107 feet. I too attempted the falls, but lost the record after my skirt imploded and I swam into a hideous pocket behind the curtain. A lot of people have asked me about my experience, and there has been a lot of misunderstanding as to what happened to me exactly. I thought I would use the 2 year anniversary to post the video on YouTube and tell the story as it was...



for video and first hand… Continue
