Description

All aboard! Most would agree this rapid has become smoother and less technical. The main hazard would be mid-slide flip. "Hey-diddle-diddle, straight down the middle" and keep your boat pointed downhill should work just fine. Air left for a steeper ride with a fun boof at the bottom.  

The next rapid downstream is a sievepile, but there is a massive pool just below Rapid Transit to catch your breath.
