This teaser is an introduction to The Wild Ones, a new series from filmmaker Logan Bockrath about people who left the comfort of more traditional paths for the unknowns of life on the river. Here, the founders of four whitewater rafting outfitters reminisce about the river run that ultimately gave rise to an industry and the energy that drove them to merge their companies to become Adventures on the Gorge, a resort located on very the edge of West Virginia's New River Gorge.
