The June 2023 Savage River Whitewater Release, at 1,020cfs: Combat Roll at Triple Drop's Memorial Rock...One for the Textbooks

Mike Z. ‪@mikelzinn1085‬ confidently executing and setting the example for a model high stakes combat roll at Memorial Rock of Triple Drop (the third drop of the Triple Drop rapid series). While under the waves for the vast extent from Memorial Rock to the end of the action - which is a considerably long time to hold it by Savage standards - Mike sets a champion example of how to boldly keep cool and calm in the chaos, showing how to time it for how long to hold it for the right time and placement to make the move. Alongside him at the moment of impact, Bill B., skillfully reactively demonstrates an awesome brace, in simultaneously putting on the brakes to prevent colliding into Mike and keeping himself just enough on edge from going over.

"God Is Our Refuge And Strength, an Ever-Present Help In Trouble. Therefore We Will Not Fear, Though The Earth Give Way And The Mountains Fall Into The Heart Of The Sea, Though Its Waters Roar And Foam And The Mountains Quake With Their Surging. There Is A River Whose Streams Make Glad The City Of God, The Holy Place Where The Most High Dwells." - Psalm 46:1-4
