The Blizzard of 2009 :) Here in the land of Liquidlogic.
Before
Sweet!! We finally got some snow. I have been waiting for some real snow and now we got it. Its not much if you are used to snow but this is a real storm around these parts. I happened to take a couple shots just as it was starting and then just as it was getting dark.
Once again all the bread, milk, and bottled water is gone from the shelves at the grocery stores. I thought about heading to town to hang out with folks in the snow but I was too scared of the North Carolina drivers. They don’t have any clue how to drive in snow.
Maybe we should go sledding tomorrow.
Later

Steep Creek Skills wins at The National Paddling Film Festival
We got some cool news the other day. The video that John Grace, Penstock Productions, Liquidlogic and I put together, Steep Creek Skills, won the Best Instructional Video category at the National Paddling Film Festival. Pretty Cool. I am psyched. It was a fun project that we had been talking about doing for a long time. The Penstock crew did a great job of bringing together all the footage, and audio. John also had to organize a group of kayakers. We all know how that goes. The best part of the whole thing was that we got to spend a bunch of time on the home river with a bunch of friends. In fact I think we had two days in a row where it took us 5 hours to get down the Green which usually takes us a little more than an hour.
The DVD not only has the Steep Creek Skills video it also has a full Green River Guide which includes shots of most of the different lines through almost every rapid on the river. There are also a few other extras including a top ten from Tommy and the highlights of the Green Race this past year. All in all its a packed DVD with instruction, beta on the green, and just plain old entertainment. Here is a sampling of what is on the instructional portion of the video.
Buy the video at the LVM Store by clicking Here and look for more instruction at Liquidlogic’s instructional page Here. We will be updating that site regularly with instruction tips of all types. In fact send us some ideas and we will try our best to cover them.
Take it easy
