World Kayak Event Coverage

Coverage of all that is FREESTYLE and being THROWN DOWN!

Boise Hometown Throwdown #3

By Gary Wilson • Jul 20th, 2008 • Category: Throwdown Results, WK Hometown Throwdowns

Since our June Hometown Throwdown was canceled due to maintenance on the hydro plant, Thursdays Throwdown was our third. We have added an event on September 11th to make up for the June cancelation.

Weather was outstanding with temps in the mid 90’s and even with many of our regulars on vacation we had 10 juniors and 4 adults. One of the 17 year-old participants came back to the registration table after warming up and asked to be put in the adults division. When I asked why he said "Have you seen those kids?!!" The adults just looked a little more to relaxed to him :-)

Big thanks to all the volunteers: Scott, Monica, Deb, and Kelly. And a big thanks to Tren Long of Cascade Raft and Kayak for showing up for the veriety scoring!!

One ‘thats-very-cool’ note - one of our adults got a clean bill of health and is officially a cancer survivor as of the night prior to the event. Rather inspiring I thought!!

Here are the results:

Juniors
1st - Seth Stoenner
2nd - Alec Voorhees
3rd - Tyler Wilson

Mens K1 -A
1st - Mike Voorhees
2nd - Phil Bellan
3rd - Chuck Bangun
