Oh! and huge thanks to Sky Helicopters and Allan Fraser for flying me up multiple times to help rescue my Heli! We actually got it out just in time, because a few days later a bear found my paddle boards and popped all 3 of them. Also chewed my repair kits and pumps at the lake. If the Heli was still there, he definitely would have ripped it open. Thanks bear.

Last summer while flying with York and the guys from GoPro prior to the launch of the GoPro Hero 7, Bentley and I split up from the group and flew 3 paddle boards to a gorgeous blue lake. The plan was to meet up a few hours later at Pitt Meadows Airport and then fly to the lake. Well... when I went to start up, BOOM! My battery made a huge pop sound and everything went dead, including my radios. Zero juice. When I went under my seat to grab my PLB (Personal Location Beacon) and handheld radio, I realized someone removed my bag from the Heli and put it in York's machine. I worked for a few hours, scaling the mountain across the lake trying to get a signal.
At around 9pm, just before dark, York found me and flew us home! What a guy! Love you York! - Розваги
Oh, and I mention in the video I don't monetize my channel, but yet there are ads on some of my videos. Well, the music sometimes gets claimed which puts ads on them for the music rights holders. This, is one of those videos.
Epic footage - fav channel - plz do much more! TY
worth it dude! Cool video broski.
Bradley This was a phenomenal flight. Got to love BC Canada HOME!
Your looking great & Bentley too!
Keep on Vlogging this was EPIC!
PEACE. 🇨🇦🚁
Keep representing our big beautiful BC, your awsome
Do you have the name of the song used at 5:10?
This is why the internet exists. So I can sit here, unable to walk, and fly around Canada in a helicopter with a dog! Thank you so much.
BariumCobaltNitrog3n are you in a wheelchair?
@@williamjakobsenmatthiesen3145 yes, why?
Just wondering where ever you were joking or not. Respect I couldn't live with that🙏
@@williamjakobsenmatthiesen3145 haha no problem, we all have our challenges in life.
@BariumCobaltNitrog3n yeah so true. what is the reason? (you dont have to answer) I have been in an tree accident myself but recovered and can still walk. Bless ya
I've missed your videos a lot Bradley, glad you're back. Wicked stuff you're putting out, keep it up!
Glad your back Bradley. Good to see Bentley too. Thanks for sharing your adventure. Keep flying safe
Thank you (and Bentley) for showing me some of the most majestic scenery in the world. I found you a couple of years ago from Hat Films, and have been enjoying the awesomeness since then.
Man, I've missed these videos so much, thanks for coming back!
this footage is just absolutely stunning. what an adventure.
Yes Yes yes love it when you post videos Bradley the vibe makes me happy
fair enough to call him the jon Olsson, and Peter McKinnon of aerial cinematography? DEFINITELY!! Amazing work!!
Glad your back! Your videos are great!!
So awesome! You BC heli guys are the luckiest people on Earth.
So good to see you making content again! Love it. Met York last month at the Heli-Expo, straight up awesome dude. Great seeing you two getting into some adventures. Maybe some day I can join in on the shenanigans with you guys.
My dentist LOVES my Bruush as much as I do. Love your content Brad you're changing the world.
I remember you said on FB that you got it! Glad to hear you're loving it! I'm so proud of this product. Have you received the notification yet to change the head? Or has it been less than 2 months?
@@bradleyfriesen Not yet I have only had it for a month but I did get the auto-ship setup.
I love your videos! So glad you're back
Thanks! have a few more filmed, Devin is just getting caught up on editing. Next video should be our flight with UA-camr Tom Scott. He's and interesting guy.
@@bradleyfriesen I've decided I am just going to find some dude on Fiver and send him all the clips. He can edit the VLOGS, that gives us more time to hangout together.
I fired Devin a few weeks ago... Videos were taking too long. He refused to be fired and told me I'd have the video the following day. 2 weeks later... I welcome the Fiverr person.
Glad to see you back!
Another great vid Brad. Helicopter nerd here. Been enjoying your content for a while. Keep em coming. (speedy recovery to mr b)
Bell 505 is a beautiful helicopter! 🚁 ❤.
Soooo good to have you back on the uploads Brad!
The way those choppers just sink into the snow when landed
The beautiful view with 505 JetRanger X
Hi Bradley, it's been a while since I've seen a Vlog. This was spectacular BC Nothing like it! Those ice caves were sweet.
Keep up the good work Vlogging when you can!
Sending positive vibes your way.
Peace Love Dreams!🇨🇦
💞🌐📷🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌄🌍💜🌏💙🌎🚁👌☮💕☁🎬😉
Spectacular man
Great video, Bradley!
Nick touched on one of the big (at least for some of us) drawbacks of the 505 - and that is that you really can't put five full-size adults in it without exceeding the forward c.g. So as a tour machine it's going to be...well... Perhaps someone using one for dedicated tours would ballast it so that you *could* take five adults. But then, if the pilot were to fly solo he'd probably have to carry weight with him in the cockpit to keep the c.g. from being too far aft.
Everything is a compromise.
Beautiful vídeo 👏👏👏👏
You're back!!! I'll watch the 'I'm back' video after this.
You are back!!! Nice. Pound it!👊
I miss these videos. Just had an opportunity to fly in an R44 in Maui last month and loved it 🚁
The Bell 505 is a good looking helicopter, I saw the 505 for the first time at the Heli Expo in Los Angeles a few years ago.
Glad you’re back! I’ve NEVER seen you in a jacket.
Yessss a new video!
Awesome shots😁😁
The high skid MD 500 D can't be be beat. I miss it so much.
8:02 Brad, what is Bentley thinking / saying there! Love it! 👀💬🇨🇦😎🐾🥰
Quality use of the most Canadian of insults, go eff yer hat there guy
Great work as always, looking forward to more. When are you going to ship the toothbrushes to NZ?
Missing your videos buddy 🙏🙌❤️
York is the man
Season 2 is 🔥🔥🔥
sweet! new vid :D
He's alive. Welcome back dad
I'm in British Columbia right now working. I grew up here but I live in Alberta.. at the end of the year I'll be going for my commercial helicopter pilot's license. This is a great video and it makes me want to pursue it more. Then after I get some hours I'm going to do my turbine
5 years later and this video is awesome still! Was reading the description. Funny it was about the GoPro Hero 7. That’s my first and only GoPro. I am still rocking it. I want to upgrade, but I don’t like the fact they took the GPS off of them.
Oh man I’ve been hanging out for this since the beeping video a year ago 😂😂😂
Welcome back.
pretty cool stuff, what lake was that you got stuck at?
Fantástico.
I like that boba fett figure. Good video btw
Devon is funny lol typical friend right lol
What's the name of the intro song? Too good! Awesome video mate
2:11 the face of betrayal
I have missed your videos homie
Flying with Garmin Glass is so nice.
Bentley the dog is so cute.
U find brilliant just need a time
Sir this may be the wrong forum for this, but tell me why I should replace my 10 year old Sonicare with your Bruush system? Love the video. I'm 25 years twin turbine IFR helicopter mechanic down in Western Washington just below ya'll. Awesome seeing you flying around with your pup. We just lost ours. Also intrigued by the new plastic Jet Ranger. :)
MRBLACK947 well... here’s my quick pitch. First off, the brush is on par in terms of quality with the current top of the line Sonicare. Our brush heads get delivered to you for $6 each, compared to $20 for Sonicare. We send you a reminder email when it’s time to change your head. Every set of replacement heads also provides a free toothbrush, tooth paste and fluoride treatment for a person in need in the 3rd world through our partners at “A Reason to Smile”
Our battery life is better than the Sonicare at over 30 days, 2x per day.
Our brush heads are arguably better (softer is better for protecting your gums). We use DuPont, Tynex Ultrasoft Bristles which are industry leading.
@@bradleyfriesen Thanks Brad. I will definitely look into your system. Very unique way of blending it into your video.
When are you coming to Oshkosh?
ericbaier I get anxiety just thinking about flying into something like that. I’d only do it with a real experienced pilot who had been there before
Has Bentley every pooped in the chopper? Hahaha
❤🐕❤👊
cool chopper
Hey Brad, do you know if there are any commercial helicopter flights to the ice caves? I know you’ve said you don’t do commercial flights due to differing insurance, and I know there’s various helicopter tours around BC, but I’m not sure about any to the ice caves.
I love that you’ve returned to making content!
These guys do it commercially.
headlinemountainholidays.com/
Hey Jessica. Headline Holidays in Whistler own the commerical rights to these caves. They usually fly with Blackcomb Helicopters. Either of those companies should get you in the right direction.
Does the 505 have an Allison C30 and/or a long ranger transmission?
Joe, it has a 500 horsepower French engine (called an Arrius). Bell chose it - supposedly - because it has *dual* FADEC as opposed to the venerable RR 250-series which at this point only has single FADEC. (I suspect that there were other considerations as well.) As for the transmission, yes, the 505 uses the same trans as the 206L-4, which easily handles the paltry horsepower that the engine puts out.
If you use an electric toothbrush to keep yourself awake while flying you must be a Canadian with brain freeze! 😂🤣😂🤣
Do u have helicopter ground training class online??
Bradley, it sounds like your machine could use some track and balance adjustments.
Great shots as always though.
Not sure what you're hearing, but my machine is extremely smooth. The limit is .2 ips and at my track and balance less than a year ago it was .04 or .05 What is making you think I need a balance?
@@bradleyfriesen Whoops, sorry. .04 and .05 are great numbers, you're right. I was hearing your voice and Nick's voice between around 8 and 9 minutes telling me there was a vertical hump.
I watched again and also noticed Boba Fett on the cyclic. Great early indicator of an imbalance and his head isn't bobbling around much at all. Disregard my previous comments and keep having fun.
🥰🤩
When someone gives you a turbo toothbrush they have moved way beyond hinting at your bad breath.
What was the issue about the 505? Can that be explained ? Great video Brad 👊🏽. Thanks
I don't know this first hand, but what he is saying has to do with the Center of Gravity of the helicopter.
Imagine a pillar with a board placed on top. If you start placing weight on the board without countering that weight with an equal weight on the other side, the board would tip over. A helicopter is like that, but upside down. The Center of Gravity is located around the rotor mast because that is suspending the helicopter in the air. If you put too much weight at the nose, tail or side to side, the helicopter controls might not be strong enough to keep the helicopter upright. The 505 is nose heavy. So if you put 5 people inside with gear to it's full lifting capacity, the weight could exceed the C of G limits of the helicopter.
That means for a tour operator, you might have to leave a client behind not because the helicopter can't legally lift them, but because the C of G is out of balance. The A-Star he flies can take 5 or 6 people with the gear and pilot, without being outside the weight or C of G limits.
@@bradleyfriesen Thank you Brad! I appreciate your time. I couldn't quite grasp what he was describing. Cheers
The 505 steals the ‘Ugliest Helo Crown’ from the R44. Congrats to Bell.
Bentley is so cool!!
Better watch for the ice gnomes.
I link the AD at the end smart ill prob buy one looks like a great product yoo barley you have get A EC 120 when the money stars flowing in 505 is OK but we need a vloger with nice EC 120 fully articulated then can have some fun with safety I know they don't make new ones but u can buy nice used one
Johnny Woldemichael if you ever see me buy a Ferrari or something, permission to punch me in the face. The only thing I want in my life is something bigger to fly. A 120 would be awesome, but a little limited on power especially at altitude. The 66 has way too short engine cycles for the flying I do. Realistically, a AS350B2 would be perfect. A B3 overkill but 😍. Bucket list Heli though would be an SH09!
Ok im gonna have to hold you to that so think twice before u take those keys to that Rrari lol JK ....YA I never knew that the Ec 120 was no good for power at high altitude. I guess you don't really see them being use for search and rescue. Myself im going to BC Helicopters in 2 years from now maybe sooner get my commercial. Iv figured I was gonna buy an ec120 one day I just want something that's fully articulated the dream is the AS 350b one day, but a used one is prob $1,800,000 to 3million , But all in due time. thanks for responding safe flying to you and your passengers looking forward to some more good videos peace brotha
What u think of casey selling out long time ago??
You're an idiot. Does that answer it well enough for you?
wish i could fly just once before i die.
I'll take a brush great deal
I should have probably put a promo code in there... if you want, use "smile20"
I think one of the cool things is also that the replacement heads are $6 instead of $20, and we send you an email to remind you to change the brush head. Who remembers when the last time you changed your toothbrush was and when to change it?
@@bradleyfriesen thanks Brad much appreciated.
Used to fly the 206 in a previous life, definitely still better looking than the 505. When it comes to helicopters I still prefer French.
The owner of that bell copter looks like formula1 world champion sebastian vettel.
Couple of things, how does it fly in comparison to the 206 series? And 2, i don't care for the aesthetics of the Bell. So many beautiful designs they have, but the 505 is meh. Surely there's more to it, or it's an acquired taste.
I like it but it doesn't have the iconic look of the original 206..
I can buy a sonicare for that price. What makes me want to get a bruush instead.
is that a toothbrush?
that's crazy to fly a helicopter with a dog what if the dog desides to jump or scared that nuts
Im sure the Bell 505 is a fine aircraft, but aesthetically speaking they look like a short guy with a beer gut.
I find the 5505 quite ugly compared to the 206. Great vid though, thumbs up.
The cockpit is way better than the 206, so it changes how the helicopter looks.
¡Yo quiero el mío coño!
I'm scared of helicopters.
Please learn and observe the Safe Title Area when creating graphics.
Bruce John Shourt I’m not too worried about title safe area, thanks though.
Bruce John Shourt oh, trust me, I know Bruce. I tell Devin that at least 3 times a day. I swear, that kid is so dense... 
Please get an Anamorphic lens. It would be epic to watch all those scenes in desquezed
Where the fuck have you been?
Electric helicopter probably makes a lot of sense. Let me go look
Why don't you monetize
Two bladed main rotor.
Four blades "more expensive"... yep... but if that cost sinks a flight business, that business was going to fail anyway.
Himalayan Nepal
Everyone who watches this is jealous including myself
Who would have thunk you could market a tooth brush like an Iphone. More money into the packaging than the actual product.
videoclipits who would have thunk you could be wrong about the price of the packaging by a factor of about 500
Must be nice to have money and be able to enjoy life.
Is there a law that a helicopter should look like a sperm cell?
Dislike for intro track, gfy
Getting tired of the background music
Nicholas Kigen not half as tired as I get with people who whine about shit. Easy solution is to just go away...
That's an ugly helo
Tuned out immediately on account of the rap crap intro. Completely unnecessary.
