Every time Michael has taken me kayaking it terrifies me. I feel like I'm going to drown or something terrible will happen but I love the sport itself. I think it's so cool to watch kayakers and see someone after their first decent of a new river and how excited they get or just to sit and watch a video that Michael or one of his friends has made. I've talked a few times about Michael kayaking but I think it's so much cooler to actually see it, so I've pulled together some of his videos so you can see what this sport is really all about. I've never met someone in this community who didn't love being on the river so if you ever want to try it I definitely recommend it, it isn't a sport for me but I would never discourage someone from trying it.

This next video shows the not so fun reality of kayaking. This sport is dangerous, and although these guys all know what they're doing it doesn't take away from the fact that they all have to pay attention and help each other out. In this video is Michael's friend who got caught up in some trouble and became pinned, you see Michael and his friend Matt run up to help him and thankfully they were able to get him going again.
and lastly, just for fun here is a video with some of the worlds best kayakers. The stuff these guys & girls run is insane and it blows my mind watching them
