KENTUCKY —

Amazing video showing two kayakers riding over a waterfall in Kentucky went viral and now those kayakers are getting cited for trespassing.

The cell phone video captures the scene that unfolded Saturday afternoon -- dozens of people watching as professional kayakers Nick Troutman and Dane Jackson plummeted over the Cumberland falls.

"We were super intrigued by the falls. And we went there, scouted it out and set up our safety plan,” Troutman said.

The two men captured their rides on camera receiving thousands of views on social media.

They say it was a ride that was the result of hours of training and 15 years in the sport for Troutman.

"We did not expect the video to go viral. We did not expect people necessarily to even be there watching it ... it was more just a personal goal that we had set,” he said.

However, achieving that personal goal potentially costing them a couple hundred dollars after being cited for trespassing.

"It's marked no swimming, wading, or boating in that area,” Capt. Dallas Luttrell, a park ranger, said.

Park rangers at Cumberland Falls say those rules are in place for a reason and doing what is seen in the videos is strongly discouraged.

"It's quite dangerous for the people participating in that type of activity as well as our rangers and the other first responders that would have to respond,” Luttrell said.

While Troutman says they are disappointed they were cited, they do understand why those rules are in place.

"I wouldn't encourage any bystander just watching to go out and give it a shot,” he said.

A fulfilling ride for the two athletes is something they say they hope to be able to do again legally.

"Hopefully maybe we can apply for a permit or something like that in the future because it truly is a really beautiful waterfall,” Troutman said.
