Colorado:
 Yampa - Cross Mountain Canyon - G3 Four-Seater raft going through Osterizer (Mammoth Falls) at 11200cfs, just under the rivers' peak, grinding a four man boat completely upside down via a barrel roll.

Some Hole in Cross Mountain done in an oreframe lining up in an effort to surf a hole, but getting flushed without success, bummer. Water level too low on that run (3000cfs?) to make it the recirculating and roaring hole it becomes later in the season. 7MB Wmv, 17MB HQ Wmv, 10MB QT, 4MB Mpg.
Sherm's Hole towards end of Cross Mountain has a G3 Two Seater on its side with righting it on the second try. Filmed by Sebastien, from Canada. 7.9MB Wmv, 26MB HQ Wmv.
Colorado - Barrel Springs - Located inside Glenwood Canyon on Interstate70, Lower Death and beginning of Barrel Springs while riding on the side, uprighted with help by a large wave. Joyous slo-mo on boat's contact with water swell. The couple days it runs a year are worth every minute of it. Nice shots of the rapid named 'Death,' as they put in just below it. 10200cfs, 8.6MB, QT
Run of lower Barrel Springs section in Yellow+Blue G2 boat surfing a hole and dropping out when done. Nice and easy hole to surf. 6.5MB Wmv, 16MB HQ Wmv
