Orange Torpedo's First Known Waterfall attempts

So this last weekend we went back to the East Fork of the Lewis River in WA. This time the goal was to really find out what a Torp is capable of. As far as my run down in my kayak (someone needed to be able to set safety) I was totally off my game. I came through everything fine, but realized again, that the second decent for me is almost always worse. I am not sure if it is less adrenaline because I have seen the run already or what. Something about my second time down a run always leads me to be horrible in my boat.
So anyway, if people have tried waterfalls of this height in a torp I am sorry for claiming that we are going first. Please let me know and we can correct our statement. I know people have done this kind of stuff, and larger, in other IK's but I think for our particular craft this is pushing the limits. So yeah, here is the video.
