Guess what? When I was 8 I ran the Main Fork of the Payette River, which is close to Garden City, ID. You know the story. I flipped over and hit my eye on a rock and needed 14 stitches! I loved kayaking, but after I was scared to get back on the river. … Read more

We just spent the weekend in Golden, CO for the 4th Annual Golden Games, the official training ground for the GoPro Games in Vail on June 4-8.

My First Year Competing in Freestyle Kayaking

by Kady Kellogg

I am Kady Kellogg, I’m 13 and this was my first year freestyle kayaking and my first year competing. I was really scared at the beginning of the year.

I didn’t really want to compete because there weren’t many girls but it was good for me to get my feet wet because I had to compete against my brothers and other boys the whole year. In Green River, WY, I was planning to compete, but when I surfed the hole I got stuck in it and it made me really scared so I didn’t compete there.

To simply be here at this event is crazy exciting, there is so much adrenaline, so much excitement, and, for us, so much unknown!!
