Media Frenzy

The Center was a buzz with media coverage this past weekend. Two television crews were at the USNWC featuring all that we have to offer. To start, paddler Tao Berman and Nascar driver Brian Vickers, both Red Bull sponsored athletes, swapped experiences. Tao taught Brian to paddle and Brian got Tao behind the wheel. Cameras and audio booms everywhere made for a pretty entertaining scene both on the water and off. Here's the link to the Red Bull video http://www.teamredbull.com/video.php?id=272
Since both tv crews were from Discovery Channel, Tao knew some of the folks from the other crew from his Stunt Junkies experience.


A new show on the Discovery Channel is Really Big Things with host Matt Rogers. The show features massive man-made wonders that change the way we live. What a perfect fit for the Whitewater Center. The show airs Tuesdays at 8pm est. Later posts will update exact air times. Here's a shot of host Matt Rogers learning to kayak from our star instructor Daniel Stewart.
