Ultimate Air Dogs

 

No steroid scandals in this sport. Watch man's best friend go paws to the wall to prove who is top dog! The competition features canines competing for distance, diving from a dock into a 25 foot pool. It's an incredible new sport that everyone loves. Details.

 

 

Red Bull

Canal Crashers

 

New to Dominion Riverrock is the excitement of Red Bull Canal Crashers.  Extreme kayakers throw down huge tricks with plenty of flips and spins as they take off on a huge ramp.  And, we are not talking just flipping over but full back flips in the air!  Competitors are judged on the difficulty and precision of their tricks.
