Notes &
Directions:
Short for Recyclotron this was once one of the best mystery spots in the Appalachians. After the flood of 1996 the pool level below the slide type hole dropped 2 and destroyed the mystery capabilities the arena had. When it was good- from 1985-1996 you could easily get 3-5 seconds DT and often 8-10 seconds. This was one of the first places where paddlers experimented with big DT (over 6 seconds). It was named by Jim Snyder after Paul Marshall named the flume-like drop below it- the Cyclotron in the spring of 1986. The Cyclotron disappeared in the flood of 1996. The best charc was breaking left from the center to dive with a shallow charc into the thin slab and drop sideways to a point where the bedrock bottom fell away. At this point you could drop deeper into an underwater eddy with the currents passing just over your head. Then when you had enough you could easily hit the up button and erupt vertically next to the waiting mystery riders. A few people and boats were speared this way with rude bows. You could also break right from the center and get respectable DT although you would often travel in this mode and so couldnt roam as peacefully. In the final days before the 1996 flood, squirt boaters were starting to have a problem with boogie board riders who would drop in for verrry long rides- to the excitement of no one. They ended up trying to work next to the boogie boardom and that was often a successful solution. When Recyc was big - anything over 3- it was (and still is) way burly and gave violent and dynamic- although not impossible rides. Jeff Snyder was master of riding these levels- often jumping in at 6 and higher. At this level the foam pile is at least 6 tall and 50 wide and the slab is about 2 thick. The ride is often so violent you often become an end throwing speck. Jeff seemed to bide his time calmly and well though in all conditions. There is good footage of him in there with just handpaddles at 6 in the video Token of My Extreme. By Jim Snyder CHEAT: Paddlers go by gauge on bridge in Albright. Alb. Bridge = (1.55 * Alb. PS) + 0.5 so go to this page and use the calculator: http://www.keelhauler.org/khcc/cheatalawa.htm ADMIN NOTE: THE CURRENT FLOW YOU SEE BELOW IS FROM THE ALBRIGHT GAUGE, NOT THE BRIDGE!

Quality: Exploratory Poor Moderate Great Epic
