Adam Johnson Landing an airscrew.
Spring is here and so are the Putin waves at the New River Dries. Lots of air and lots of beatdowns were handed out this week to the suspecting and unsuspecting individual. Enough blabbing, the photos will do all the talking…

Sick photos. Did you land that huge airscrew?
Sweet as, Adam!!! Bro, great update, stoked to see the boys throwin’ LARGE!!! Keep it up!
Thanks guys. As for the question in the first comment, I don’t think I stuck it on the wave but I do think that I got around to land it.
Cooper, you should come up when the Dries run again–throw down WV style ;-).
Cheers,

dito, sweet pics and wave.

How far ahead can you predict it?

Markus,
The Dries run at the level in the pictures less than 10 times a year, if that.
Basically, it has to rain a shit ton and you have to be able to drop everything to go as they only stay at the 60g level for about a day or two if you are lucky. If its spring and they are calling for mass flooding and inches of rain or more, the dries will most likely come in.
Hope that helps,
-Adam
