For the 3rd year running, South Main and the Buena Vista River Park were host to Cross at the River, a cyclocross event which this year had riders bumping down the cobblestones of Swift Circle and sprinting up the staircase at the LoDo Wave on their multiple laps through the course. “Everybody loved the course” [...] Read more »

Well I’ve been in Plattling, Germany preparing for the World Championships for 10 days now. Last night was the opening ceremonies and today most classes except for the Men compete- the show is finally on the road! Before I get on to the writing, here’s a photo gallery of the really fun opening ceremonies last [...] Read more »
Jed & Dustin Surf the High Water 1.5 Wave
by Dustin Urban June 19, 2011 » Add the first comment.
The Numbers is our bread and butter class 4 run in Buena Vista, and when it hits around 2,800-3,000 cfs, we like to head up and surf the 1.5 Wave. It’s a very fast, super-dynamic wave that’s fun to just surf and hang on. If you can set up and time it right, you can [...] Read more »
Dustin Urban Wins Teva Mountain Games… Again!
by Katie Selby Urban June 6, 2011 » Add more comments.
There is something inexplicable about watching Dustin win the Teva Mountain Games Freestyle Kayak event once again. But then again, I feel this way most every year, since he was won 5 out of the 6 years we have been together. The event is so stacked- it is arguably the most [...] Read more »
Record-Breaking Scores at the BV Pro-Am
by Dustin Urban June 1, 2011 » Add the first comment.
Maybe it was all the carbon fiber Rock Stars sitting in the eddy. It was probably also the Downtown Hole’s user-friendliness and the fact that most hole moves were possible there. One way or another, it was quite a show Saturday night for the finals of the BV Pro-Am, as myself and Stephen Wright each [...] Read more »
Fun and Sun for BV Pro-Am Open Classes

It was so great to have the Adventure XStream race based in the South Main Town Square again this year! Thanks to all involved. Here’s a nice video of what the race is like!
Climbing the Sleeping Indian
by Dustin Urban April 27, 2011 » Add the second comment.
Holding onto the lip of the horizontal roof, it hits me- there’s no turning back. Feeling scared and exhausted, I switch gears mentally. Not pulling the 5.10+ crux is a poor option at this point- I’d probably fall 10-15 feet. It would probably be a clean fall into space, but I might catch a ledge, [...] Read more »
