Videos & Photos

Evil in the Upstream is an excellent series of videos on whitewater slalom racing put out by the ICF. Part instructional, part photo-monotage, with lots of brief athlete interviews, it is most of all inspirational. The above is Part 1 of six; to access others: Part 2 (Forward Stroke), Part 3 (Offset Gates), Part 4 (Upstream Gates), Part 5 (The Kayak Mind), Part 6 (Advice for Young Paddlers).
