The other night I was watching an interview with Extreme Kayak-er – Tyler Bradt.
He had recently set the world record for conquering Palouse Falls in Washington State by kayaking over the 186 ft drop!
During the interview he was asked what was going though his mind as he went over the lip of the falls and was traveling down through the rushing water?
Tyler said that he was Focused on keeping his kayak vertical as he had been Visualizing.
The only way you can practice for something like this is he says is by Visualizing it. He also mentioned that he had Visualized it hundreds of times until it became comfortable in his mind.
Zero to a Million Miles an hour in 20 ft as he entered the lip of the waterfall!
