This film has been submitted to the 'Keep it 100' Film Festival. The goal meant I had to distill a 6 day backroads mountain motorcycle camping trip down to 100 seconds. Fingers crossed on the entry. Travel from the border of Canada down to the state of Oregon on the rugged eastern slopes of the Cascade Mountains via a path developed by Backroad Discovery Routes (BDR).

    The 802 Firebosses on this fire were launched out of KRLD. Dauntless Air and Coastal. Great skills and amazing group of pilots. I spent the summer hanging with them. These planes ingest 55gal per second up to 800gals holding however they usually only pull 600 off the water. PT6 - 1600hp. cool stuff.

    I actually liked the high energy and quick tempo as it gave it some life. Curious as to what application you used or did you do all of the transitions by hand. If so that's a lot of work. I can give you history on many of the planes here the only bummer is mine didn't make your video ;). All good stuff though.

      Thank you - 3 of the 4 Bikes were DR-Z or KLX 400cc. I think all of them had the 3.9 +/- gal tank. We carried 3 liters of spare fuel and really didn't need to tap that supply. With these rough up and down sections, I was getting about 33 mpg. That equals about 130 miles / tank. And thanks for the encouragement.

      @solobjones8389 Рік тому

      Of course. The first major issue of getting up north is the fact that Mt Adams is in the way, and much of the land around the mountain is controlled by the Yakama Tribe. It is illegal to cross onto tribal land. We traveled to the west side of the mountain. Travel Wa 141 to Troutlake, at the gas station in Troutlake, stay right onto Mt Adams highway to forest road 23. At highway 12 in Randle, go east past rimrock lake. Stay on highway 12 to Naches, then catch the Naches Wenas Road. One option is to forest road 1500 half way from Packwood to Naches. ( this is the BDR trail.) on this section you can take one leg up, and a separate leg on return. Ellensburg to Vantage on the Vantage Highway. Cross the Columbia River on I 90. Take St route 26 and now you have many optional gravel or secondary roads going north. Head north to George, then highway 281 north to on Overton Road to Sagebrush Flats road then Moses Coulee Rd. Head towards Jameson lake. We were unable to traverse to F road north and instead cut over on 5 road north east. The general idea is to get to the town of Mansfield. Go to Road E Northeast then onto Bridgehill road. Join Hwy 17 to Bridgeport. 17 joins on to Highway 97....blast north to Oroville. You can jump over to Highway 7 on the other side of Okanogan river, but we were running late and stayed on 97. Have fun

    Well, no. You have seaplanes and you have flying boats. Seaplanes have landing gear and flying boats do not.

    • @solobjones8389
      @solobjones8389 Рік тому

      I based my definition on the following: A flying boat is a type of fixed-winged seaplane with a hull, allowing it to land on water. It differs from a floatplane in having a fuselage that is purpose-designed for flotation, while floatplanes rely on fuselage-mounted floats for buoyancy. Wikipedia

      Flying boats do have landing gear. Seaplanes (Cessna, Piper, DH Beaver) are aircraft with floats replacing the landing gear. The difference between the two is where the water makes contact. Seaplanes can be converted to have straight floats or be amphibious (floats with landing gear). There are special hardware on the fuselage to hoist the plane during this operation. Flying boats (Grumman, Lake, Icon A5) are almost always amphibious and never changes its configuration.

      Recording on a busy airfield is a challenge. Sometimes wind is the dominating noise. Sometimes people are talking in the background, sometimes you see one plane, but the mic is picking up on an unrelated plane out of shot. In this video I pulled as much of the ambient plane sound into the video as possible. The music is is no extra charge.

      Sorry you didn't like the music. FYI, this song was the most streamed song of 2013 and won at the 56th Grammy's. I really liked how the words "Like the the ceiling can't hold us." plays as planes fly. The energy of the song and the need for a very fast pace was needed to match a medley with so many clips boiled down to a few minutes of play. Lyrics to "Can't Hold Us: Ay, ay, ay Good to see you Come on in, let's go Yeah, let's go, hahaha Alright, alright, okay, uh Alright, okay, alright, okay Return of the Mack Get 'em, what it is, what it does, what it is, what it isn't Lookin' for a better way to get up out of bed Instead of gettin' on the Internet and checkin' on who hit me, get up Thrift-shop, pimp strut walkin' Little bit of humble, little bit of cautious Somewhere between like Rocky and Cosby Sweater game, nope, nope, y'all can't copy, yup Bad, moonwalkin', and this here is our party My posse's been on Broadway And we did it our way Grown music, I shed my skin and put my bones Into everything I record to it and yet I'm on Let that stage light go and shine on down Got that Bob Barker suit game and Plinko in my style Money, stay on my craft and stick around for those pounds But I do that to pass the torch and put on for my town Trust me, on my I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T shit, hustlin' Chasing dreams since I was 14, with the four-track bussin' Halfway cross that city with the back, pack, fat, cat, crushin' Labels out here, now, they can't tell me nothin' (Hey, hey, hey) We give that to the people, spread it across the country (Hey, hey, hey, oh) Labels out here, now, they can't tell me nothin' (Hey, hey, hey) We give it to the people, spread it across the country (Hey, hey, hey, oh) Can we go back?
