Video Productive session- youtube

You-tube is very well known. Im sure most of you have gone onto you tube to have a laugh, find information, listen to music, catch up on t.v shows, learn how to do something and watch something that you are interested in. You-tube has everything you could ever want to watch ! type in any-thing and im sure you'll find an answer!
Any one can post on youtube be that professional videos from large companys to people making home videos. Have a click on YouTube and go exploring. It is incredible what you will find.

I have been asked to find 5 videos on youtube that relate to one topic...  As I was struggling to decide what topic i should use, i received an email from the kayak club. I am going white water kayaking next week in murchison so im thinking as that is fresh on my mind, il give you some videos of an occupation i particpate in. Bare in mind that i am very new to this extreme sport and well actualy also very petrified about it! I have even got nerves searching for and watching these videos... eeeek four days untill i attempt it myself...

This first video  is of people paddling maruia falls! I picked this because in aproximatly 10 days i will be doing exactly the same! ARGH.... paddling off a 10metre waterfull.... crazy huh?. Apparently they tell me its safe? haha but unfortuantly as safe as they told me it was, last year i couldnt build up the courage to do it. So this is the year, the year 2011 of Grace's first decent off Maruia Falls. BRING IT ON !




The rest of my videos i will hyper-link just to save space on my blog. But i recomemnd to ALL of you that you look at them... Because they are awesome and have taken me years to find the perfect ones...

People Kayak all over the world and search for amazing water that has never been paddled before. This next video is of kayakers battleing water in Nepal - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vxVZ3ha_0Y

The next video i thought i would post is about "how to roll a kayak" one of the many videos on youtube that can teach you how to partcipate in a task. Kayak rolling is a very important skill to have. This skill i have mastered when rolling on flat water however i struggle to do this when in rapids.
