108'ft. Waterfall World Record Shattered by a 127ftr

The article just hit the web today! Here is a short excerpt taken from Ben Stooksberry article on the Jackson site, "Brazil World Record Attempt Expedition member Pedro Olivia shattered the existing world record (108 foot or 33 meter) with a 38. 7 meter (127 foot) waterfall descent on a tributary to the Amazon on the Rio Sacre in Campos Novos, Mata Grosso, Brazil." These guys really are changing the idea of what is possible in a kayak. Although I can't say I didn't see this one coming from such hucksters! I give them props! Even though 70ft is no where close to 127ft having run a 70ftr I know the nerve it takes to run large falls .
