It's a Family Affair

The Jackson Family is at it again, still dominating the world of rodeo kayaking. According to the website Paddling Instructor (www.paddlinginstructor.com), the Tennessee-based Jacksons took three podium spots at the Teva Mountain Games this past Saturday in Vail, Colorado.

For the third year in a row, three-time World Freestyle Kayaking Champion Eric Jackson, the father of the family, won the men's title, while his daughter, Emily, 17, topped the women's competition. Dane, 13, took third behind his father.

"Unbelievable. Last year, Emily and I had a great round and I thought that was about as good as it gets," Eric said.
