On craft ranging from inner tubes to rubber rafts to orthodox rowboats some 500 courageous college lads and teenagers brave boiling white rapids of the McKenzie River in Oregon's White Water Parade. Rubber rafts with some inner tube extensions making its way down in the turbulent waters of the River McKenzie. High Angle Shot - A bunch of young guys in a rubber raft that is almost engulfed by white water. Three men in a rubber raft. A couple of brave souls in a wooden row boat being tossed around like a cork, followed by a smaller rubber raft with three or four guys hanging on for life. The guys that were in the row boat seem to be beached. One young guy all by himself sitting in a inner tube wearing a wet suit. You have no fear when your young. High Angle Shot - A small rubber raft capsizing. A one person rubber raft is tossed over by right into the drink. Guys dressed up in wet suits having the time of their lives. Nineteen miles of white water.
