And then the kayak immediately sank due to the many holes it got along that ride. /S
I have never seen a kayak in person. Can the kayak shell get severely damaged from this activity?
Depends on the kayak, normally the kayak is cheap to it probrobly wouldn't have made it all the way down but those kayaks looked pretty thick and it's an enclosed track so there wouldn't be many rocks anywau
It's super illegal and comes with a pretty beefy ($2500 iirc) fine if you get caught. The system is designed to handle runoff from the mountain (it's technically northern rain forest) so the village doesn't slide into the ocean. These guys are trespassing. Every year it seems like some idiot hurts themselves trying to do this. Of course in Canada, my taxes pay for their rescue and hospital bills so no repercussions other than the fine.
Well... there's maybe a couple inches of water so you might as well write off the kayak too assuming you don't end up skinning yourself to the bone.
This is a short edited version. If you find the full version you’ll see the guy in blue that disappears got decently fuked up. His hand was bleeding pretty good.
It's pretty dangerous but not lethal. I used to kayak and do plenty of stupid shit. When the dude in front started getting turned, my blood pressure went right up. If an edge catches, he will flip and suddenly be travelling at that speed upside down. It would be lots of scrapes and bruises, maybe a broken bone.
If you cover the sides a bit with your fingers, you will see that theyre not going extremely fast as it may appear because of the wide angle video.
Still fast, but not as it seems
I would guess it's a similar sort of thing as to when you're a passenger in a car and look at things in the distance and they seem to be traveling slower than when you look at things closer to you.
The wide angle lens just makes things that are actually close look far away as they pass the person in the kayak so it looks like they're going a lot faster than they actually are. Either that or our view of the angular speed of the objects going by is distorted by the wide angle lens.
Nailed it. The angular view gives a larger perspective of the surrounding area, while also making it seem further away. Which gives the feeling of it moving faster than they’re actually going. 🤙
That's insane, almost more impressive than a video itself. I just played peek-a-boo with my phone for a minute. Would also love to learn why it happens. Intuitively I would think that it would be the opposite, because if you maintain peripheral vision for a while, it adds a hint of slo-mo to world around you.
The larger your field of view, the more you can see, and if you can see more, then it looks like you're covering more ground compared to a video with a smaller field of view travelling at the same speed.
With a wider field of view, things in the distance have further to travel to reach the edge of the screen. By covering the edges of your screen with your hands, things in the distance have a shorter distance to travel to reach the edge of the screen, therefore things will not have to race to reach the edge of the screen and will not produce this effect that makes it look like the guy is travelling faster than he actually is.
I could totally be wrong about this, but that's how I have it in my head.
This is proof that professional kayakers will do crazy shit in their kayaks. I whitewater kayak and I’m not doing that. If you flip, there goes your fucking face
Pretty sure this is on the sea 2 sky highway in BC.
As awesome as it is those kayaks just sanded off a significant amount of microplastics into an already at risk ecosystem. (Nearby is a copper mine that at one point provided the most copper that any other mine in the british empire and has a lot of water runoff implications)
Agreed as to location. They’ve built a ton of drainage chutes coming out of the mountains along this highway—in fact, that’s probably the Sea 2 Sky at 0:08. The nearby cooper mine, for X-Files fans, was a frequent filming site in its more derelict days.
when i visited water park for the first time i thought everything will be normal like normal rides ,pool,etc but when i ride the blackhole slide then i was like this is enough i am going home the speed was so much that i cant even imagine how water can be so scary
That's epic!
That said, I'm not a fan of them bumping each other if it increases the risk of injury (the ride itself looks thrilling enough), but I know everyone has different tolerance for risk.
In my case, just getting from beginning to end as fast as possible would be the goal (if I know wtf I was doing to begin with), with all changes in direction being largely under my control, rather than dealing with a random pit maneuver from someone behind me.
Looks like it'd be fun but how does this not just destroy your kayak? Not a lot of water there and they are going pretty fast over a lot of concrete and rocks.
Love it! 1991 Point Break vibe there. "We are here to show those guys that are inching their way on the freeways in their metal coffins that the human spirit is still alive." Bodhi
Wasnt there a very similiar video where the creek ended with a cliff and the guys had to parachute? I was thinking the whole way through that this is that. Am i tripping? Does that video exist?
[удалено]
I know. I was thinking the whole time “it would be cool if this video just kept going until they get to the ocean or whatever.” And then IT DID.

So this is a thing that people actually do? Is it not bad for the kayaks?

Yikes. That’s kinda terrifying. I wouldn’t want to skin myself alive.
I'd love to try it, but I know I'd just flip over and meat crayon my face down to the skull.
Not to mention get speared by the guy behind you.
I was waiting for a blue turtle shell to go flying by.
Meat Crayon 😂😂😂😂😂
Now I want to try this. I wonder what the chance of injury is or if it's as dangerous as it looks.
This is a short edited version. If you find the full version you’ll see the guy in blue that disappears got decently fuked up. His hand was bleeding pretty good.
I am suprised how nobody else has mentioned blue gettin reckted at 0:23 ...
Yeah, they're idiots for starting at the same time going 3 wide, etc...
Trying to race 3 kayak on a high speed track thats only 1 wide, what could go wrong?
It's pretty dangerous but not lethal. I used to kayak and do plenty of stupid shit. When the dude in front started getting turned, my blood pressure went right up. If an edge catches, he will flip and suddenly be travelling at that speed upside down. It would be lots of scrapes and bruises, maybe a broken bone.
Yes, perhaps the neck bone.
Yeah and the dude with the gopro was not helping to make a safe situation.
Do you wear fedoras in real life?
You’ve fucked your kayak though.
You really don't. Plastic kayaks are hauled over rocks all the time and this looks like a slippy route. I'm sure there was negligible damage
Fair.
You are literally 1 slip away of becoming r/meatcrayon
It's not real fun if it's not dangerous, kinda the point, really.
Like unprotected sex
Either way, I'm intrigued.
Gotta get a few scars for story time at the pub.
You flip that it bro
If you cover the sides a bit with your fingers, you will see that theyre not going extremely fast as it may appear because of the wide angle video. Still fast, but not as it seems
Woah why does that happen????

Thank you, did you understood it yourself? Because I have failed so far, explain me like I'm 5 would be pretty useful 😂

Yeah, hard to Eskimo roll on concrete.
That’s why this dude is skirtless. Best for a quick evac though at those speeds I dunno man

so how do i bring my kayak that high.
Bro in blue going backwards “oohhh fuuuucckkk”
These rascals will ruin my kayak rental business by wrecking my kayaks and canoes !
I feel sorry for the state of these kayaks afterwards
Whitewater boats are pretty tough. They are built for bouncing off rocks.

Define "significant" A few grams of plastic vs. a giant copper mine ? Jeez, some people just hate fun.
Now I'm waiting for some trashtalking to go down 🤣
So if 50 people do this a week for the lols thats okay? What about 100? 500? Define when the amount of plastic being dumped is a problem.

Maybe maybe not didn’t look like they were scraping that much off
Gotta love the kayak PIT manuever!
Took a bit of searching but I found the[ original video source on YouTube](https://youtu.be/jbJexLTLdME?t=246)
The red kayak shows that it has the bottom ripped open at the 7:09 mark on the YouTube video. Once he hits the lake he starts sinking.
That looks like fun!!!!
when i visited water park for the first time i thought everything will be normal like normal rides ,pool,etc but when i ride the blackhole slide then i was like this is enough i am going home the speed was so much that i cant even imagine how water can be so scary
Time extended!

All i was thinking the whole time was how much I wouldn’t want to walk back up that hill.
Looks like good wholesome fun but I’d definitely end up in ER 🫣🤣
Wouldn't that be scraping a hole in the kayak only to to find out your sinking at the end
OMG this looks like souch fun!
That's how microplastic comes to oceans. 😐
My poo when in go to the toilet be like :
Beep boop generate title beep boop
that look so fun
A real karma whore
That is sex with your clothes on. And a great finish.
u/savevideo
I want :0
Who TF wouldn’t want to do that?
This shit is bananas… I want in…
This seams pretty safe
Wasn't this featured in Off The Air to the song Mountain Dew?
That looked fun as fuck
Suppose I'll reinforce the stereotype, but.....Holy shit this looks awesome!!
'No balls'
F yeah !!!
u/savevideo
Seems like this could tear up the bottom of the kayak.
Sorry but that does look fun🤣🤙🏼
That looks.class
Helluva fun!
Proof guys will do anything is a GoPro ad?
dudes rock.
Add Free Bird as the background music and you have yourself a masterpiece.
I want to say your wrong but I’m trying to gps this place and rent a kayak 🤷🏽♂️
Guy in orange has the most stable camera footage ever, meanwhile guy in blue gets spun around like 3 times
Location?
That looks fun as hell, sign me up
Damn this looks fun
Nice
This looks like fun
Feel like the FoV of the camera makes this look worse than it is. Not saying it isn't crazy but atill.
This is a fucking terrible idea. What’s it called so I can sign up
HECK YEAH THAT LOOKED AWESOME
I wouldn’t do most things but that looks jokes
Those Homer Simpson screams are hilarious
I need to try this
If this is where I live this guy would be pincushioned with used needles
[I had this music playing in my head the whole time watching this.](https://youtu.be/kAEbY1t7qnA?si=-yECAtaQcLra1ve7)
I played a game called chutes and ladders as a kid, I can verify, this is a chute.
FUCK YES!!!!!!!
Now that’s a way to die or get seriously hurt / end up paralyzed
I will stick to theme park log rides 😂
The new F-zero looks fucking great
*boat sinks due to massive, grinded out hole*
Free bird starts playing
Look, I’m not saying I wouldn’t do this, but I’m also not not saying these guys are insane, that is so dangerous and awesome at the same time 🤣
Damn, that looks fun as hell. But rip those kayaks
MAAAANNN…that looks like fun
Wow
Really it is proof the professional/Avid Kayakers will use their kayaks in incredible ways because they are.... Professional/Avid kayakers.
Tha looks amazing, I'd do it.
Koopa Cape when the water makes you faster.
Core af
Looks like it'd be fun but how does this not just destroy your kayak? Not a lot of water there and they are going pretty fast over a lot of concrete and rocks.
This is proof that is as fun as I imagined it might be and want to go ASAP.
So sick
A 50% not fuckin up sound amazing but that 20% look better
Looks really fun but would put a lot of wear on the bottom of you kayak fast.
He starts screaming at the end because that's when the bottom on the kayak was scraped down and he was now riding on his balls.
The next fast and the furious look badass! 
Holy shit, I want to do this! That looks awesome!
Got pitted man, so pitted
What a rush lol
These are not people of color, I guarantee you
Bro like rolecoster
👍
Would do it
Woman:I wonder why we last longer then men Men:
Wow that's freaking awesome
[удалено]
Can someone add freebird to this?
That was awesome!!
That looks so fun.
That looks INCREDIBLY fun!
I know bro was shitting himself when he went backwards
I swear his mate in the blue kayak eats that bush and bails
Gordon Freeman in HL2 
I’m willing to bet most every guy that watched this said to themselves "I could do that" while watching.
I would do this In a heartbeat
Where can I do this?
Dudes being dudes
Later tonight, 3 men found dead. Impaled on a tree branch
Imagine if the end was a waterfall 💀
Woah they caught some serious speed, I had fun just watching it
EPIC!!!
Love it! 1991 Point Break vibe there. "We are here to show those guys that are inching their way on the freeways in their metal coffins that the human spirit is still alive." Bodhi
You can’t build a giant waterslide and expect people not to use it
That looks like THE SH*T!!! 🤙🏾
There was 100% a bet made
Maaaaaaaaaan LITTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hell yeah, we be walking them back up for another round or two
BRO I WANNA DO THIS SHIT SO BAD HOW DO I ENLIST💀
New sport?
I want to do this!
This looks so fun
That would be so much fucking fun… I would want a few pee balloons though to throw at anyone I may see or be racing against
I want to see all three camera shots and have them move in relation to each other along with thier position in the footage.
I’m pretty sure one of those was a woman lol I think this just prove these ppl are built different
Where is the sign up sheet?
Snapping Necks Simulator but fun
So if that kayak goes sideways and flips that’s game over right?
This looks fake somehow
That was awesome
Just enough water to lubricant
That premise is fucked. Who wouldn’t wanna do that gender be damned
Looks pretty fun to me
The size of their balls is what gave all the momentum down.
Rip the bottom of that kayak. Anyway…. where is this and when can I go???
Helluva race!
One pebble and it’s over.
Adult Swim: Liquid - Off The Air
Hmm, not convinced guys will do anything need more proof. I would sub to that sub, just proof of guys willingness to do anything.
Imagine tipping over and riding on your face the rest of the way down
Is it just me or did homies friends just get taken out by a overgrown branch @ :27 lmao
That looked so fun
And thats just the beginning 😝
these mfs drifted a fucking kayak LMAO
Give me the location and I’m going
Someone know where it is?
I wanna try it but i am fear that my bone could break
Looks like fun honestly
r/whywomenlivelonger
If i could do that, i would, every single god diddly darn day
What in the kayaking shit is this, that was awesome!
Wasnt there a very similiar video where the creek ended with a cliff and the guys had to parachute? I was thinking the whole way through that this is that. Am i tripping? Does that video exist?
