Red Bull and The River of Lost Souls – Part 1
“The River of Lost Souls” is one of the most unique wakeskating missions ever put together. With the help of Red Bull and an epic mountain crew, Brian Grubb and Dieter Humpsch explored the mountains around Silverton, Colorado and the water that feeds its river. To put it simply they hit the motherlode. Check the video above and see why, and be sure to pick up a copy of the latest issue of Alliance Wake to read the full story.
Thanks to all those who helped make the trip possible:

Wow – NOT stoked to see dudes tearing up alpine lakes and gapping beaver dams. This is the kind of shit that makes watersports lame to the masses.

Lost 4 min of my life seeing this crap!

Man, you guys are right. Wish these dudes would have heli dropped a 200K wakesurf boat into these lakes. They could have done some epic tilt'A'spin hand-drag maneuvers all over some dip'shit beavers. That would have been the shit.
Thank the maker there's a few people out there NOT trying to feed the masses.

This is badass. You haters need to pull the sticks out of your asses. I'd rather see some low key, low impact winching in unreal locations like this than some emissions spewing, shitty ghetto music blasting, wakesurf kook doing surface 720's up and down the lake. A rad project like this doesn't give wake a bad name. It's haters like you guys that do. Props to Grubb, Dieter, and Red Bull for going out and making something different and taking wakeskating to places it's never been. Don't mind the haters, they're probably just jealous their cable keeps spinning the same way over, and over, and over… I'm stoked to see the next part of this video.

Great edit! Very interesting.

Great, ride all the beautiful locations you want but don't go tread on the natural wilderness habitat. We have plenty of interesting man-made locations to ride & gap – dams, waterways, old mines, rivers, and lakes etc. The trolls wanting to drop a boat in totally miss the point. Honesty probably straight up illegal to ride there in the first place so why?

I like the idea Redbull has with these winch videos, going to great locations, filming beautiful shots, and doing something different. BUT I am sick of seeing grubb's 3 sketchy winch tricks in every single one. I get he's an o.g. and all but if your're going to go do the 10th redbull winch video get some new tricks. Every single wakeskate edit Redbull puts out is 20-30% actual wakeskating and the tricks they do get certainly aren't worth while to somebody watching the video to see wakeskating not just someone seeing it for the first or second time. Don't get me wrong I respect Grubb and what he's done for the sport but he's just not pleasant to watch when he's struggling to land a front shuv. Grubb is a great wakeskater he's just not the right wakeskater for these videos he looks totally out of his element whenever he hits a winch spot. Dieter was pretty good in this video, but he still didn't have enough wakeskating that really got me going. Overall Redbull needs to start putting more good wakeskating in their wakeskate videos.
Overall Grade: I hope part two is better.

DF&W sounds like the whiny local kid that didn't get invited nor read the article. Respect to Grubb / Dieter and that crew for doing something different. Beauty is in the simplicity, rad to see an edit without crap music.
