Xcorps #40.) HELLS CANYON
seg.1- Shot in the wild Hells
Canyon area of western Idaho
along the Oregon border this
rugged scenic and powerful
Xcorps episode features on
camera host Jason Lazo
rocketing up class 4 rapids in
a 600 HP custom jet-boat and
catching a 9 foot 250 pound
monster fish on a river called
The Snake!
The wild clean outdoors fills
the big screen in this show
with the Xcams going wide to
catch a gorge 2000 feet deeper
than the Grand Canyon cut out
by one of the longest and
remote U.S. rivers all
captured on HD tape for the XC
viewer!
The show opens up with Jason
near Whitebird Idaho-pop.150-
dropping down to Pittsburg
Landing in the Hells Canyon
National Recreation area to
meet with Eric Pardue from
Killgore Adventures who
provide jet boat river tours,
hunting and fishing on the
Snake and Salmon Rivers. This
is wild outdoor adventures
Xcorps style!
Jason takes off up river in a
custom all aluminum Idaho made
Bentz boat fitted with twin
350 V-8s that can handle the
powerful big river whitewater
with thrilling ease! It took
our widest lenses to capture
the spectacular scenery of the
canyon and Jason did a great
job of hosting from the
rolling and pitching deck of
the speeding boat named
Moonshine as it powered up
rapids with names like Wild
Sheep and Granite Creek and
Green Room! Music from
SubNoiZe band Mower fits the
action. Hang on! Great HD
shots on board and looking
down from riverside cliffs
with not a building or sign of
civilization to be seen. More
cool music from Maverick
Records artist Paul Oakenfold
back the action with his song
Time of Your Life! Nice.
After the break more shots
from North Americas deepest
river gorge paint the screen
to music from Bible belt band
Ha Ha Tonka c/o Bloodshot
Records and RIVE with scenes
from their band video -St.Nick
on The Fourth in a Fervor-
mixing it up with scenes of
crystal streams, jagged peaks
and raft runners heading
downstream. All American good
times!
After that itâ??s time to HOOK
UP with some Idaho style
fishing of the BIG STURGEON
variety and Eric from Killgore
Adventures knows just where to
pull the boat over and cast
the lines! Great UW Xcam shots
here of swimming Steelhead
showing off. Music from David
Huber doing Haida sets the
mood. Jason baits up a solid
pound chunk of salmon belly on
a barb-less hook and casts
into a 70-foot deep hole in
the river. As cameras rolled
on cue he gets his Ugly Stick
yanked and the reel starts
screaming as the battle
commences Ernest Hemingway XC
style! The J man cranks and
pulls hard for more than an
hour with the fish leading the
boat down 2 sets of raging
rapids before finally giving
up for a moment at the surface
only to laugh showing its
monstrous size and diving
further working Jason into a
full sweat! Fish band The
Dorados throw out their song
Hooked on Hookin Up for the
good fit. Finally Jasons
muscle wins out and the big
fish is pulled ashore, and BIG
it is! Eric calms the ocean
size fish by flipping it
upsidown before measuring it
with a full size tape measure!
At nine feet and 250 lbs the
catch is considered a rare
Snake River Hog! Before
letting it go Jason talks with
Eric about the Sturgeon fish,
which is estimated at 100 plus
years old! With a sore lip it
swims back into the rivers
depths leaving us with some
breathtaking shots!
Stay tuned because after that
itâ??s time to look at a new
way to surf the river XC Idaho
style with bungee powered
skimboarding from Banshee
Riverboards based in Boise
Idaho. Again the Snake River
delivers the fun by stretching
out and loading up the giant
rubber bands until the board
clears the surface and takes
off launching the rider
upriver! See local riders rip
N tear along with Laguna Beach
Ca world-class skimmer Bill
Bryan pulling smooth moves on
the Snake! This is a new way
to have fun on a river and you
see it first on Xcorps!
The show closes out with more
Mower tunes and another wild
upriver rapid run with Jason
on the Moonshine recapping
this episodes wild adventures!
Sick shots and sounds here of
Snake River waves rolling over
the windshield of the jet boat
during the high-speed runs.
Just another day on the
Xcorps! Thanks to the Idaho
Tourism Board for production
assistance in this show. See
