After the PaddleFest weekend we grabbed Ted Keyes, the Liquidlogic rep for the western U.S. and routed a lap down Pine Creek to cool down from our first weekend of Colorado sun. I grabbed a Remix 79 from his truck and we all followed down in close Team Liquidlogic style. Such a beautiful river and great way to end the weekend of fun.

Another beautiful pic from Brianne:

Of course, enjoying the sun in Colorado is never too good to be true. Monday morning we woke to 40 degree temperatures that quickly dropped as we climbed up the pass for some training runs on Homestake creek. I was pumped to put some scratches on my brand-new Black Ops Jefe Grande and get a feel for my local run again. Here are some scenes from the high water training laps on Monday morning.

Isaac flying down his first training run of the season:

Mike Dawson, another strong contender about to take his Leap of Faith on the bottom drop. Definitely trickier at the higher flows:

Honza Lasko, the Czech representation:

And we finished up just in time for the strong storm to swing in. Snow in the end of May, only in CO:

Here is a quick video clip that Team Liquidlogic Isaac Levinson put together from one of his training laps. Enjoy:
