Description

Powerslide is the next big slide on the run. It boasts a fun line starting on the left where the river makes a hard bend to the right, pointing you left down the slide again. This is the "5th Element" line and an absolute hoot.

The timid boater could sneak down the right channel for a very straight shot.

Keep an eye out for the hole on the left at the bottom. It can get sticky at various levels.
