Favorite video of 2012

We decided to write our last blogpost of 2012 about our favorite video of this year.
Here are our choices:

Axel: I chose 'Remains of a River'. This video doesn't only decsribe what's going on with the rivers in the world, pollution and dams. But also gives the beauty that is still left on this planet. If you haven't seen it yet, do it now!



Bram: Souls + Water series by NRS really moved me this year. They had amazing and inspiring videos. My favorite of this series is 'The Nomad'. Erik Boomer tells his story..

Study break: Norge whitewater paradise

Just finished watching this new edit from the Serrasolses Bros as a study break. A lot of sick footage, definitely worth looking! This video shows how amazing Norway is as country and especially the whitewater.
We are planning a visit this summer, so i'll be dreaming of that while studying.

Study progress

Started two days with studying and already we are two days behind on our study scheme! Couldn’t help it, the Belgian rivers were flooded, so we went kayaking instead of studying. Had an awesome weekend with lots of paddling!

Tomorrow we really need to start studying and we have some good news!! The final results of the 2012 short film of the year awards are out! Perfect timing for us! You can find the 6 best short films here: http://www.kayaksession.com/best-short-film-awards-2012.php

Six DOPE edits witch you guys should really watch! But the honor of winning this prestigious price goes to the film Unknown – Aniol Serrasolses by Tino Specht!

End of the world

It’s that time of the year again, examination period.. 6 weeks off complete isolation. Obliged to study 8-10 hours a day, paddling becomes pretty impossible. Sitting more hours after a desk then in our boat we will be suffering from paranoia. All the upcoming tweets or blogposts will therefor be irrational, dumb or absent.

Luckily we have 2 things that do help us through: a laptop and Internet that provides us with tons of kayak videos! These videos let us dream away and guide us through the harshest time of life! Also they save us from insanity.

Of course we still are kayakers, sow when there is water we will try everything to get our ass in our boat! Unfortunately for our study efficiency our exam-period falls together with the period Belgian rivers are high on water.

As you can see this is not only a period of extreme isolation, but also a period of hard choices. We certainly hope we find a perfect balance sow we don’t find ourselves ending up with mad parents (if school failed) or in a madhouse (no kayak = we go crazy).

And ow, earlier on I said all tweets or blogposts will be irrational, dumb or absent. But of course there’s a fourth possibility: we share all (or some off) the kayak videos witch helped saving our lives providing you guys a library of worlds best kayak videos, movies, episodes and more!

Kick-off: some history, The Ottawa River!

Have you met..?

I just realized we never introduced ourselves. Therefore I write this blog. As you know we are Peeters/Sleebus, in our slalom C2. But we do paddle separately sometimes. Last weekend we did, for example, and here's some footage of it! Bram Peeters and Axel Sleebus trying out some freestyle moves!

Hot WET Scandinavian Pillaging

Here it is! First DOPE episode of Substantial Media House.

Substantial

Evan Garcia and Fred Norquist have a new project! These world class paddlers who already blessed us with Bomb Flow are now introducing Substantial Media House. First episode "Hot Wet Scandinavian Pillaging" is coming out these week already, stoked!

Stage Augsburg

Back in Belgium for a week now. Missing the good moments from our training camp in Augsburg already! Right now we are training on our home course again, a flat water canal without gates... YEAH!
But ok, here is a little video from some good times with Stevow and El Manowé in Augsburg. And also some images from us in a boat, paddling upstream and downstream basically.

Enjoy!


STAGE AUGSBURG-HD 720p Video Sharing from Peeters Sleebus on Vimeo.

We zijn nu al een week terug in België na onze stage in Augsburg. Het gemis wordt almaar groter. Ondertussen trainen we opnieuw in het donker op ons geweldig kanaal, zonder poorten weliswaar...YEAH! Maar bon, hierboven een kort filmpje van enkele goeie momenten met Stevow en El Manowé. Enja ook wat beelden van op het water natuurlijk.

Enjoy!

Really looking forward to this one!

Tijd is geen constante

Na enige tijd met een volledig geschifte trail loper in een klein oud schurftig hotel te zitten, hebben we besloten een eigen blog op het wereldwijde web te zetten.. Literaire teksten moet u hier zeker niet verwachten. Wel zullen wij u op de hoogte houden van wat wij allemaal doen en hoogstwaarschijnlijk zullen wij ook trachten regelmatig beeldmateriaal op deze blog te posten om het niet saai te maken. Niet enkel van ons, maar ook van wat ons interesseert en van wat wij respecteren.

Vaarwel!
