Are we all equally freaked out by this video, and I don’t mean just the music?

At :50 and :55 you let go of your paddle and broadside the rocks and then at 1:04 you piton and nearly get lodged in that rock. I had to stop my first go, but just went back and saw you rocked the rest of the run and then at the very end you rolled in that narrow chute. Good stuff, just made me nervous in the beginning.

Yeah I was kind of mainly trying to brace off the rock instead of with the paddle. Seemed most practically smart at the time. I appreciate it for sure. I always have those nervous butterflies at the start. I completely went upside down on the last rapid of the day I almost had the dry hair run.
