Tom Perkins on Big Balls Falls

Tom Perkins dropping into Slap Ya Mama

Just after 'Big Balls' is 'Slap Your Mama', the second largest rapid on the run. Boof a ledge right of center (or far left) and then slide. For early take out follow a stream up the left side to the dirt logging road. Or continue a few more miles through boulder gardens becoming flat water to Blanchard

One of many quality ledges

We call this the 'Crack Drop'. Start right and drive left to avoid the right wall

'Big Balls' The largest rapid on the run. A 20 footer with a re-connect halfway down. Keep momentum and angle going left to avoid the right wall.
