FreeStyle canoeing...

The fact that this is a sport is shocking enough. But then to add to my surprise, there's actually an audience for it!

Portions of both videos were featured on The Colbert Report the other night.

The first is an interpretive canoe routine done to Chris DeBurgh's 80's classic The Lady In Red. And the athlete is Marc Ornstein, who's from right down the road in Honeoye Falls (a suburb of Rochester)! His website explains more about the sport.

The second video is the one I mentioned on-air, the Phantom Of The Opera routine.
