Mike, they are some nice shots and include some nice instruction.

" This is a series photos of Jim Pruitt running Lower Keeney on the New River. It is about 6" on the Fayette Station bridge."

He's lucky he didn't flip at Middle Keeney, the "Meat Grinder" wouldn't have been very nice to run through! The three Keeney rapids are great fun, 3 class Vs in row. But, I'm not brave/expirenced enough to play in a canoe. It's either a raft or a kayak for me.

As fat as the pictures are concerned, I don't know if you can make them bigger in that style or not, but they're a little hard to see. Also, maybe some could be cropped and double posted with a "tighter shot below" disclaimer, so it's easier for people to see boat direction, paddle/hand angle, etc. Or...maybe just a note that they can click on any image to see a larger version.

Great shot of the grin at the end

Oh! And, if you've ever seen the movie "Triple X" with Vin Diesel, in the begining he steals a car, if I remember correctly it's a red Corvette. He then drives it off of a really tall brige and opens a parachute. That bridge is the New River Gorge Bridge. Hehe, I love IMDB. Here's a trailer with the scene I mentioned in it. xXx Trailer

*Also just relized that there are 3 different sets. Nice job on the Cahill shots, with some closer crops! And, I saw mention of "larger" pictures in Alicia's gallery.
