White folks always creating new sports. Cool but useless and senseless, just another person going through midlife/retirement crisis and trying to make a sport/hobby/name/ for them selves and race.
Anybody can create new ideas of how to accomplish feats or travel simply just using mother nature as a tool. Just as this, he's just another piece of debris floating down the river with man made influence. Instead of trying to make another sport "GUINNESS WORLD RECORD STYLE" where anybody can "create a feature or sport that never before existed prior to this feat, how about doing something practical and something beneficial towards evolution, rather than proving how nature works with todays technology such as your wet/drysuit and survival gear and floating a river with no practical cause, besides end of life crisis... Why'd I even bother reading this ridiculous story... AlaskanJ...
