Growing up in Bozeman Montana I always heard legends of the burlest creek in Montana being only an hour away from my house. As my skills progressed through out the years I wanted to go see what this high mountain creek had to offer. The first time I ever went I just filmed my Brother and friend Bobby Jackson bomb down the bumpy steep slides. I was hooked…for the next few years all I talked about and wanted to do was “Big T”!

1-5 BFTV Grand Prix Updates
Ok egcreekin hommies sorry about the scares updates the last two week, but priorities were towards the bombflow.com site and getting hits and traffic for our new project…bombflow TV! These videos have been up for about 10 days or so depending on the day, but if you haven’t seen them they are all epic, all time, brown, awesome-ness! This is day 1-day 5 and there is plenty more from where this came from…enjoy the sick cinematography, edits, tunes, and kayaking!
Solo Middle Falls
For the past few weeks rivers have been rising and dropping up here in Nor Cal. A gauge I always keep my eye on is the McCloud river about 25 mins outside Mt. Shasta. During the middle of last week I saw it was on the rise and tried to rally the troops. Unfortunately everyone has a life or something and can’t drop everything to come huck a perfect 50 footer, so I weighed my options. It was pretty clear the flows were going to peak thursday and I was pretty sure there wouldn’t be another chance for me to run it this year. With those facts in mind I rallied out with Callie and my father to check out the falls. When we arrived at Middle Falls thursday (April 28th) around 4:00pm it quickly felt different from my previous experience there with all the boyz a couple years ago. I looked at it from the top viewing platform and it looked like a little more than half the flow we had during the the previous record high descent in 2009. Dream flows peaked at just over 1700 cfs @ the reservoir that morning. We walked down to the base of the falls to get a better look. From there I saw a really solid line with a great boil at the bottom and felt confident it would be good to go.
Sac DaZe and SWW trailer #4
Kinda late getting this up here but better late than never. With heavy snow pack throughout most of Cali, including up here in Siskiyou county, the Sacramento has been swollen most of the winter bringing in rare waves and hosting really fun water very close by. The Sacramento is one of the smaller drainages in California but holds water extremely well and can be run as high as it ever gets. Kyle Hull came through and was keen to get on some water so we got on the Sacramento @ 9500 cfs for a couple days with some Tunnel of Love, Mears Creek in there as well. Good times, enjoy the edit shot completely with the Go Pro HD Hero.
Pacific Northwest Going Off
I’m out here in Southern Washington/Oregon staying with my good friends…The Wells! This family has put me up more than enough times to be sick of me…but they aren’t. Their two boys are badass hucksters and all around good boaters who we come to visit as much as possible to hit these amazing rivers!
So far we have hit high water Green Trus on the White Salmon, Metlako, Bridal Veil falls, Rock Creek, and today we are up for some new stuff!!!! Hope the spring season is starting off right for all you boaters out there across America and Europe…We have a sick trip video that will drop at the end of the trip so keep your eyes on egcreekin…as well as some lost updates from Chile. These are all just freeze frames from video, but you will get the point and see what we have been up to…
