In the words of Julie Andrews as Frauline Maria in The Sound of Music:
“These are a few of my favorite whitewater slalom moves.”
Up right high in bottom drop. Good balanced, controlled line -- shame I just touched it with my lifejacket on the exit.
BOTTOM SECTIONS
Through the bottom drop on river right to a low upstream on the right. Nice upstream: high, tight, good exit.
Course with mostly upstreams above the bottom drop. Spicy pivot on the first up (slight wall touch), too direct for the dive gate, but a ridiculous sweep-style upstream on the up right.
Sweet offset to up left above the bottom drop. Driving well to carry speed through the upstream.
Up left high in the bottom drop. The kind of move where patience pays. The kind of move that makes you love slalom -- and you gotta love that paddle twirl :)
