And just when I thought canoeing could not get any more extreme, this guy comes in and just totally blows me away. From costume and song selection to paddle placement and turn initiation, this guy nails it. The crowd knows it, and now you do to.
Where can the sport of freestyle canoeing even go from here? I honestly cannot say.
American Freestyle canoeing is the art of paddling a canoe on flat water with perfect control of its movements. The canoe is usually leaned over to the side to help the boat turn sharply and efficiently and paddle strokes are taken on either side of the canoe depending on the individual move. Balance, paddle placement and turn initiation are a few keys to this control. Since the movements seem dance-like, some practice this art timed to music, which is the ultimate in control.
I was on the edge of my seat…
rodeo is revived
So sick!!
I can do it better. Just you all wait to see my canoe flip move and bow/stern turn. It’s unbelievable.
Is that canoe rockered or what?
Not sure if your joking, but canoes have actually been rockered for a lot longer than ski’s.

Every now and again a performance comes along that blurs the line between art and sport, between power and grace. This is one of those times, and I’m reflecting on what can be done to align my life more closely with the magnificence that is freestyle canoeing.
This is where ski ballet champs go to die.
Somebody needs to use this song for their edit next season.
Much more impressive when viewed in fast forward.
Who the hell is there spending their time watching this?
The power slide at 4:15 is amazing…he was absolutely charging it
But I’m concerned about the example he’s setting for the children not wearing a helmet or vest
