Ran this class V beauty with Chad, Tom, Jason and Scott. Jason had the most interesting line.

Movie. Best viewed by downloading and then using lots of slow motion. After careful viewing this is the sequence that I came up with: The first 13 seconds are me making the "left move" around the terminator hole. At 16 seconds you can start to see Jason come in through the rocks (rock on the looker's right in the middle of your screen). Between 16 and 19 seconds he executes the "sneak" by doing some kind of s-move rock slide and dropping into that boiling eddie line pool, backwards. At this point he just disappears for a LONG time. You can see Tom coming out of the top eddie at 31 seconds, still no sign of Jason. At 38 seconds (he's been in that boiling eddie for 20 seconds!) you can see Jason, upright facing way river right, heading for the hole, and Tom still on looker's left coming down. At 40 seconds Jason executes a paddle stroke manuever that points him upstream and drops him backwards into the hole at 41 seconds. Somehow he braces upright right after he drops in the hole and looks like he's going to escape for awhile. But no. Upside down, back into the hole. At super super slow mo as Chad's dropping the camera and reaching for the throw bag you can see Jason rolling back up and getting slammed back over into the hole.
