Nick Horwood and Tim Trew and The National Student Rodeo 2008
Yes, me hearties. It was a fantastic rodeo; bigger than all rodeos with nearly 24 and a half billion participants. An especially big round of applause is due for Nick, Tim, Leeds University and all the sponsors and participants who made last weekend’s NSR the biggest and most successful to date.
In fact it could well have been the International Student Rodeo this year with kayakers the DKayaking team from France, competing in the open event, and Josh Clark and Anna White all the way from New Zealand!
The party was no less groundbreaking than the event itself: Four marquees, big tunes and hundreds of swashbuckling pirates!
But perhaps most exciting of all is the forthcoming NSR 2008 movie. The movie is already thoroughly into production and will be available on DVD from the beginning of April 2008. Watch the trailer here.

The official NSR 2008 DVD is set to be released at the beginning of April, at a price to suit students, and will be chock full of extra features.
Somehow we managed to cover every event and not break a single ankle running about the place!

Sam Ward’s video documenting the soon to be lost Silverback section on the White Nile, Uganda. This is a stunning and informative film which covers every main and back channel on the section, including Widowmaker.
A few friends embarked on a mission to document every main rapid and back channel on the Silverback section of the Nile. This was as part of a photo shoot and Sam Ward’s forthcoming ‘Damn Shame’ video - a tribute to the section that will be lost to the Bujagali Damn Project. (See The Nile Progression for more info)
After running Widowmaker, the conclusion of this mission was that Anton Immler, Sam Ward, and myself had now run every named rapid on the main sections of the White Nile… Except one…
n. Deficiency in the amount of oxygen reaching body tissues.
On the main kayaking section of The White Nile, Hypoxia is the single biggest feature on the river. It was last run over two years ago during higher flows when the hole appeared more “flushy”. It was given its name due to the sheer amount of time spent under the water that a kayaker must anticipate when paddling the drop.
Hypoxia is one of the infamous 666 rapids and sits in-between Kalagala and Itanda. Allegedly it was first run accidentally when a kayaker missed the last eddy while inspecting the drop.
Possibly the most important skill required for this shameless ‘balls out’ stunt is simply the ability to look at the hole and know that it flushes. The second most important skill is making sure there is no chance of your deck imploding.
It is then a good idea to pick a line that you believe will get you through the mess of surging white as quickly and smoothly as possible. Then hold on and keep believing as you tumble through whirlpools and holes within holes the likes of which you’ve never experienced before.
Finally, if you used to be a gymnast, put your hands in the air and smile for the judges. You won’t need to do that again for a while.
Although what you’ve accomplished is fundamentally silly and unworthy of the respect of your peers, you will probably get much of said respect, lap it up, and make a short video (a tribute to your apparent greatness) which you will then post on your website…

Although I would much prefer to talk about me and my own heroics, I have to say that the endevours of my former college, Anton Immler, are much more worthy of your attention.
While working on the White Nile, it is often common to look for ways of making the river more gnarly / fun / interesting. Here is one way: CLICK HERE to see Anton Immler’s new rafting company ‘Titanic Hollidays’ in action!
In English, it reads:
A new rafting company has been recently setup on The Nile. With a unique raft design they are pushing whitewater rafting to the outermost limits of an entire new experience. They call themselves Titanic Holidays.
Widowmaker, a back-channel on the Silverback section of the White Nile, has not been run since 2006. However with recent rising water-levels and a bit of a balls-out mission to run every rapid on the main sections of the White Nile, we had a go.
The rapid consists of two fairly gnarly holes, front and back, with a huge curling wave separating them. The line involves cutting left to right over the crest on said wave. Enjoy the video.
A look at things to come; just a few bits and pieces from Norway and The Zambezi in 2007.
This video is clearly all about the tune.
