<title>The New Direction of Extreme Kayaking</title>

Of course,  Ben Stookesberry’s film  Hotel Charley 2: River of Doubt deserves praise for the quality of its paddling.

<title>Dane Jackson Isnt So Cute Anymore</title>
<description><![CDATA[Not so long ago, while the sport’s most elite athletes were fretting about their last ride in the rodeo, little Dane Jackson would be over in some channel, playing with his foam boats.

<title>Berman Edges Ludden in Extreme Race</title>

<description><![CDATA[When Tao Berman quit freestyle kayaking, the grunt work for most pro paddlers, he waged the credibility of his career on extreme races. Races, such as the Dagger Steep Creek Championship on Colorado's Homestake Creek.

<title>Alcohol Played No Role, Medical Examiner Says</title>
<description><![CDATA[Alcohol had nothing to do with the death of Marc Allred, the Grand Canyon rafter who drowned in his boat March 30, said the Coconino County Medical Examiner who analyzed his body.

“He didn’t have a lot of water in his lungs,” Dr. Lawrence Czarnecki said. “If I have an opinion, that’s what it was. The laryngiospasm probably caused him to have an arrhythmia. There’s different mechanisms that could have happened.”]]></description>

<title>Three Times a Charm for Levinson</title>

Last year, he was fifth, one spot out. Two years ago, he was sixth.
