I wonder how much SI pays
Little embarrassing my dad knew about this video before me. He walked in with his new copy of SI, had it opened to a pic of Bradt running the falls and told me to go find the video.
Let’s just skip all the puny little waterfalls and run Angel Falls!
Sadly no pictures or videos of the record breaking drop yet but Kayak Session just posted the first interview with Tyler Bradt. There are some good pics of him running some other big waterfalls as well as some pics of Palouse Falls.
In March, Brazilian Pedro Oliveira ran a 127-foot falls in Brazil breaking Tyler Bradt’s former 107-foot record (alexandra falls, NWT canada). There was huge media coverage worldwide about Olivia’s record. While most people imagined this record would stay for a very long time, Tyler Bradt just ran the 186 ft (nearly 60-meter) Palouse Falls in Washington State, smashing Olivia’s record by 59 ft!!!
In an exclusive first interview for Kayak Session mag, Tyler answers some of the burning questions everyone has been wondering about since the news came out…
It sounds like the run will be in “Dream Result†coming out some time next spring. "The footage will be out soon in the media."

The later part of this video has been around for a long time, but I have never seen the first part before. The video quality is the best that I have come across.
