wipe out!

This video features my photography of kayakers at the 2009 Reno River Festival set to the music Wipe Out by the Ventures. Even though I titled this video Wipe Out and use music of the same name, it is a little misleading because these kayakers stay IN CONTROL - in spite of the still shot appearances to the contrary. Much respect to those who successfully challenge the Truckee River whitewater.
NOTE: For better quality images hit HQ (bottom right icon) after video starts.
