Hooptie Hamburger - 7 years ago

+damon gold
Thanks! It's really good. I spent some time trying to find it on Google by searching the lyrics.

damon gold - 7 years ago

Hooptie Hamburger it's a song I recorded with Jeff Martin from Racer X it's called "The fool" it's on his solo album "the fool" on roadrunner records.

Ok Alex show me better...

Alexander Wise - 11 years ago

not very good

Deezer Kid - 11 years ago

oo got it. YouTube is very strict about copyrights, I got 2 accounts banned in the past 2 years due to copy rights even though most of the videos that were flagged were made by me. Created this one yesterday still not sure what to upload. Last one was very successful but I don't have the time to edit music anymore.

damon gold - 11 years ago

i purposely upload low rez versions of my edits due to piracy, it is shot in 16mm and digitized at D2 quality (basically Imax) the high quality video is sold off as stock footage. im glad you enjoyed it, it was super fun doing it!!

Deezer Kid - 11 years ago

great ending. wish the quality was better.

Giuseppe Liverino - 12 years ago

interesting, I didn't know people were doing this! though in this video it looks like you don't have much control on the kayak...I will try to find more videos to compare! thanks for sharing

@AJcore8698 the reason for leaning back in the air is to balance the boat for an even landing, you must hit the snow at the correct angle so the will be no impact. also snow conditions have to be perfect to pull of airs of 30 or more feet. there is always the chance of injury but in all my nearly thousands of airs the only injury i sustained was breaking 3 ribs when i impacted a huge rock at 45MPH and that run had no air, it was a steep couloir that had a really tricky exit.

Adrian Cole - 13 years ago

@georgeou It's a risk that is a part of the sport and we all take pre cautions to help protect our backs. This is an old old movie. If you notice how he was leaning back every time he went over a cliff it looked like a lot of impact when he landed. If you look at newer youtube movies, we have developed ways to land properly that hurts a lot less. Never the less though, spine damage still occurs.

Dominic Armstrong - 13 years ago

Awsome!

Aaron Darkes - 13 years ago

@damongold Like I said, You Rock Buddy!!

damon gold - 13 years ago

@arcticarnie i still have about 1000 posters left i never sold, hit me back ill send you one!!

damon gold - 13 years ago

@SuperGrrrrr it helps cushion impacts from rocks!! no really it does

damon gold - 13 years ago

my Uncle, C.Castelain died doing this!

jenga - 14 years ago

idiot

specs23 - 14 years ago

whoa...amazing vid

mmschweizer - 14 years ago

I'd like to see you use a smaller playboat with a surfing hull. (Flatter on the bottom). I think it would give you more speed and control and you could carve turns faster. Nice vid but it hurts my back just to watch it!!!

Ravenkliff - 14 years ago

me and my friends did this today! but, like, on a much smaller hill. It was AWESOME! But this guy is like the king of it.

Aaron Darkes - 14 years ago

I've had a black & white photocopy from an old fishing mag of the cliff jump at 1min 5sec on my wall for years. fishing mag long gone, glad to finally see the video!!!! Very Cool!!

Tim Carrollo - 14 years ago

basically bad ass sledding

damon gold - 14 years ago

my new boat fixes the back seat issue and i have a whole quiver of new tricks including cartwheels and backflips. posting soon.....

erick avanaq - 14 years ago

I love when he's paddling on snow lol

HorK - 14 years ago

dang

UrUsoBu - 15 years ago

Pretty sweet, there were some good drops. You are always in the back seat though, I might try moving the seat back if I get a chance anytime to snowyak. You should try for some ollies and kickflips, maybe?

freedomfascist - 15 years ago

this guy prolly doesnt have children... str8 badass tho!

Austin Pritchard - 15 years ago

Pre-boof pain

kgc20goober - 15 years ago

i like how he,s got the B.A. on in most of the pics just for padding etc lol.

CourtyardPigeon - 15 years ago

WTF is that music? I want to stab out my ears!

Bloodgod40 - 15 years ago

Looks like it would be very easy to screw up and go rolling end over end all the way down the mountain.

THEHURRICANERIDERS - 15 years ago

dude...you are awesome!

Dan9156 - 15 years ago

sikkk!! i wanna have a go!! :P

AWeinert - 15 years ago

Boof!

David Obremski - 15 years ago

awalanche danger??!! very cool

Alan Grant - 15 years ago

ha looks fun if there was like a pond down the bottom and its all frozened and u crash into it u would still float again good idea of sport

Andrew Wahl - 15 years ago

hahaha!! I love it.. surfers, skiers boarders.. we're taking over! So WATCH OUT!

damon gold - 16 years ago

then it is time for glasses. in the early days i had to manhandle it a bit, but now i can go almost anywhere a skier or snowboarder can as long as the conditions are right.

coldflesh - 16 years ago

OMG im doing this

damon gold - 16 years ago

you live in a great place to do it all it takes is some snow, a hill and the nerve to go for it =)

Pacific Northwest - 16 years ago

This is great... cj

damon gold - 16 years ago

the fastest i have been clocked at was 62mph. if you consider the air shot at 1:09 i am close to reaching terminal velocity 114mph but thats in the air not on snow. (with the right conditions 90 is not out of the question.) as for stopping, just carve, the newer boats i use are much more controllable then the old freefall i used 15+ years ago in these videos.

damon gold - 16 years ago

the answer is yes it IS much easier in modern boats, if you were to read the description this footage was shot 17 YEARS AGO!! i keep all my current footage off the net until i have made sufficient monies selling it as stock.

madmiguelh2o - 16 years ago

With modern playboats it should be easier....Right?

damon gold - 16 years ago

i would love a liquid, but i would take the fins off, when the snow is fresh you dont need fins. i use a jackson superstar now and it works great.

tubeneophyte - 16 years ago

The best yak on snow footage I've ever seen. A plastic surf kayak with fins would really excell at this (unfortunately only one manufacture has ever made one).

robco1 - 16 years ago

Holy crap. I was joking. You are one sick puppy!

damon gold - 16 years ago

look at 3min. 11sec. i did

Harvey600 - 16 years ago

Wish we had snow like that in the UK!

robco1 - 16 years ago

I'd be really impressed if he pulled a C to C.

damon gold - 16 years ago

warmer weather is 2.5 hours away, my way i just get to the top of the sierra crest and point the boat west!!!

damon gold - 16 years ago

watch it again, they are grouped around 3min. in, but do occur throughout the video

damon gold - 16 years ago

Donner Summit, CA. also Blackwood Canyond and Homewood Ski Area!

Downforce Recordings - 16 years ago

damn nice!

frikinzero - 16 years ago

no life jacket? awesome video!

damon gold - 16 years ago

i am not sure i know what you are referring to ???

damon gold - 16 years ago

no special kayak here, i use the kayaks i get for filming in the rivers so modifying them for snow is pointless, besides the newer boats (jackson superstar) have such sharp chines the terrain and tricks i do now are lightyears beyond the stunts i did in this footage shot almost two decades ago !!

kayaksurfcantabria - 16 years ago

you are the god of the snowkayak, we are fond jeje... I hope that you find sponsor. Very good the video

MammaDuck - 17 years ago

LOLOLOL!!! Duh, when he planted the nose at the end, why didn't it just bob to the surface? High braces, low braces, air braces, he does it all!!! Also, that water is about as white as it gets.

damon gold - 17 years ago

that IS the natural progressoin, however i can't find a yacht company willing to sponsor me!!! so until such time i am only yaking.

Shooter42 - 17 years ago

I wouldn't dare try that in my sit-on-top yak but looks fun... I wanna see a guy land nose first vertically and have the front of the cockpit cut his ass in half!! lol
