“Forever one of my favorites” | Raven Fork
Спорт
The Raven Fork was one of the first bigger creeks I did in NC. It’s just such a gem of a run. The rocks are so smooth and the style feels a little different than most runs out here. With a few of the most classic rapids in the southeast, plus plenty of other memorable ones. It’s just a run that whether low or high, you’re gonna have a great day.

I love how virtually every run is one of the "favorites" haha!
2:15 me every morning in the dark. you are a legend by the way
Great to see even the top paddlers having to take it slow, scout ahead and walk when its not worth it. Thanks for the insight and the paddling
So so jealous!! Great runs Dane!
What a beautiful place, look at those views! 😍
Subbed, great content! Found your channel randomly and saw you going down the middle Kings - I've hiked that trail multiple times and would've never thought people kayak that river lol.
I wish i could kayak like you you are really good and inspire me to try new things
I go fishing all the time at the gauge bridge right there when we go to N.C but never knew the river was this gnarly at the top. Wvwn my dad couldn't beleive it. Great video though and thank you for bringing this to my attention

Love the content!!!!

We had several huge floods this past year. All the Smokies streams have new wood so be aware.
You are a joy
Dane, I’m getting a new paddle should I get the Surge or the Powerhouse?
Tite and Flashy. Epic Good Work. Thanks x 10 million !
That looks like a fun run! Do you happen to have a link to Nick's channel? He seemed to have a bit more adventurous run! ;-)
Beautiful Creek. I guess they never found Nick's paddle? Also I wonder when it was filmed. Like after one of those post tropicals came through? In need of a top secret chain saw run, lol.
Trees and whitewater don't mix well with kayaking. Good that you included the scouting and walks. Probably saved an idiot's life, the Darwin Awards are there for a reason.
Question about all the trees that fell. How are those taken care of? Do kayakers hike back to remove it?
I kayak with Brent Cooper By the way that’s why Ik abt the grand chute. Luv u don’t stop making ur content would be sick to go out with u by the way
Where do you put your seat on a run like this in the antix?
Dane: Does anyone ever remove the downed trees? You mentioned that there is a lot of wood on that run. Any paddling groups ever do “trail maintenance?”

“ Trail Maintenance “ is a necessity on many Southeast runs, and the people who boat the most seem to be the ones who get in there with ropes and chainsaw to clear the river. It requires a lot of time and teamwork. Often it’s 3-4 people in a given kayaking zone who are the honey badgers who get it done.
Watching your videos is fucking amazing!!! I'm really into extreme sports but my main is snowboarding!! I really want to get into kayaking/white water kayaking next summer!! How would you recommend I start getting into it??

I'm from Southern ontario in Canada so we have some really good rivers here that would have some sick gnar to shred!!
The rapid at 14:57 is called Mangler, and i thought nobody had ever run it...until I moved from the southeast to PA and met Jared Seiler (of the famous/infamous Demshitz). I thought he was lying until I saw the pictures (link: www.pyranha.com/blog/shivas-love-the-raven-fork/). Still have never seen video of it though.
Homework or Kayaking?
I think this is the first antix 2.0 video by Dane that he has tried only one taillee 😂
which rapid is Crack in the Rock?
Does your sister ever run this type of stuff? I see you and Nick all of the time, so I figure she is around somewhere. Just curious, I know she is a great boater, but like other than Noria I don't know of very many women that do big water stuff.
Kurt Cobain called and wants his Nirvana back :)
looks like joe rogan kayaking
Is this run in North Carolina
Hey what up
