Jeffrey,

Allow me to respond with a haiku:

Learn to keep it pro.
I know you’re an amateur,
So I forgive you.

I am doing my best to make it to some of these “big” events to meet and greet my fans. But pros stay busy, and it’s not always easy to drive all the way to Charlotte for an event. I am going to do my best to be there August 2nd, but you know how it is…China calls sometimes.

Jones out.

Dude, you call yourself a pro and don’t even show up to big events that have lots of loyal Jones fans.  That is a sign of a poser.  I know for a fact I invited you to the hometown throw down in Charlotte as did Wes Bradley.  You should really get out more and meet and greet fans.

That’s funny… I don’t care who you are!  Peace out!

No Freedom Hall Pool Session Tonight

The pool is closed for maintenance until 7-13-08.  Someone drove their car through one of the windows of the pool’s building.  Our normal pool session should be back on regular schedule next week.  I hope to see you next week…

Chris Gallaway’s Headcam Video from Jerry’s Baddle Race 2008

Seeing how I just completed my PFD of the Green River Narrows this past Saturday (6-28-08), the video link below was awesome to watch to refresh my mind on the lines I ran.  Great Video Chris.  Thanks for sharing!

I can’t wait to get back out on the GNAR!  See you on the river.

For any one who has a facebook profile make sure to join our guest list with this link: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=17036832498, so you can check out photos and chatter from other participates before the event.

We encourage you to use the on-line registration system to help us better prepare for the upcoming events. The on-line registration system is easy to use and you can access it using this link: http://worldkayakblogs.com/throwdown/register/

Simple select the Charlotte Throwdown dates you want to participate in on the page and it will take you to an individual page to register for that event.

If you are already a member of the World Kayak Community, simply choose your participation category, and click the submit button!  Men’s K-1A is for any male over 16 years of age that can throw three ends consistently or do cartwheels.  Men’s K-1B is for any male over 16 years of age that does not meet the Men’s K-1A prerequisite.

If you’re not a WK member you will be prompted to sign up as a World Kayak Member (It’s free and fast. You can also choose to start your own blog if you wish while registering). Once you are sign-up as a member of World Kayak, then you can register for the event.

Please take the time to do this because it will make the sign-in process for the event much smoother and quick during the day of the events. Thanks in advance for your cooperation!

 

I will be hosting an AW Membership Drive this month during HTTD #4.  If you’re not a member, I would highly encourage you to join at this event. If you already are a member, bring a friend that is not to get him or her signed-up!  Our goal is to get 5 people to join at this event.  Membership has many benefits for you, but most importantly you will be helping to preserve our rivers and promote safety through supporting AW as a member.  Check out their web site for details: https://www.americanwhitewater.org/content/Wiki_aw:about_

 

I will have applications on hand @ the event for you to fill out to join AW and I can accept cash, credit, or check for the membership fee.  A 1 year basic AW membership starts @ only $35.

 

I hope to see you @ the USNWC this Saturday (7-5-08)!

USFS Still dragging their feet on Chattooga Decision :-(

Looks like we are going to have to wait at least another 6 moths before we will even have a chance to paddle the Wild and Scenic upper Chattooga River…

The Prodigal Red Star has Returned Home to the J.A.W.!!!

I must have had good Karma on my side yesterday, because my girlfriend and I found the J.A.W.’s Red Star yesterday after church!  Thanks to everyone who has sent notes of concern and encouragement.  The J.A.W. fleet is back to 12 boats strong!  Good day, great weekend!  See you on the River…

JAW Alert… Red JK Star Lost in Travel!!!

If you are traveling back and forth from Johnson City to Elizabethton on Hwy 321, please keep you eyes peeled for the Red JK Star in the JAW fleet along the road.  The boat flew of the back of the trailer last night on my way home from the Freedom Hall Pool Session.  There will be a reward for anybody who can return it to me.
