Humble Pie Served up on the Moose
Everyone has bad lines, so open up wide and take that your piece of humble pie.
*Please note humble pie is best and more frequently served as soon as the camera comes out.*
Read below as one of Werner Paddle’s and Lake Placid, NY’s favorite sons, Matt Young take his most recent bite of the pie. Here is what Matt has to say...
“This years Moose River Fest was one of the best we have seen in 5 years and it was awesome to get on the river and party with good friends. However, the most exciting part of the weekend for me by far was accidentally running the largest drop on the river, Magilla, backwards. I was paddling the new Pyranha Karnali, which is a lot faster than the Pyranha Burn I normally paddle. I gave it too much right to left angle at the top and pitoned the river left wall. Before I knew it, I was backwards boofing (or lack thereof) 10 feet.
Surprisingly I didn't even get my head wet. I walked back up and had a really nice clean line on my second run, but of course no one got any pictures or video of that”
Photo credit goes to Jeremy Laucks. Thanks Jeremy for missing that second run, we like Matt with pie on his face.
At least you finished head dry and went back for more. Cheers, Greg
