I'm using Davinci Resolve from Blackmagic www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve/studio the transitions I found here theresolve.store/10-free-resolvex-transitions-for-davinci-resolve-17/

Sorry bud, I also love the spirit of the West being a part of the games, and it was a very charitable move on MSU to donate the money for the band to travel with the Griz. Sadly I doubt Seth Bodnar is a watcher of my channel.

It wasn't solely Montana's decision. Both Bodnar (Montana) and Cruzado (MSU) mutually agreed to not have the visiting team bring their band moving forward.

Frisco here we come!!!! Up with Montana!!!!

Go grizzlies 🙏

We did it!!! Frisco bound!!!!

Super moon gorge lap tonight is a thought I've been pondering 😮 Lcd was an epic choice!

Damn I'm just seeing this

Andrew look me up on social media and DM me, I'd be down to get out on the water

Correct, it's easy to eddy out and hike a boat back up at less than 1500 CFS. It's too good to just get one try at.

Go slow, make sure you wear PFDs (life jackets) and be aware of weather conditions in your area. Like all inflatable boats they can be difficult to handle in high winds, just watch for storms and tide changes. It's a solid boat that has brought me many years of enjoyment.

It's a Star Slice its a 4 person paddle cat with a smaller tube diameter than the RMR phat cat, I liked it, sporty but really stable.

@@montanamattthat's crazy you put 4 people in it. Definitely not designed or intended for 4.

@@thenewfire totally is, 4 foot cups and everything, although it's way too small for sure, it's the first production line, I bet there will be changes in the next few models.

Thanks!

This is kinda the new format, snappy quick cuts. I'm thinking the drone will be good for some fun stuff on our runs

@@montanamatt No doubt!

Joys of having a good telephoto lens

6 year old video,im aware the old music is cringe, youtube didnt have a lot of options back then

I think the music is fine, actually kind of like it. Different strokes I guess

the sea eagle has a handle on the front, i used the gopro bicycle mount and just drilled the holes through the skirt in the front onto the handle. Makes for a great pov cam

Evan, the problem is there is no Exact take out or put in on most of these runs. I'm also apprehensive to put these runs on American Whitewater. Since hazards and water levels change in these creeks so much it's almost impossible to give good info, I'd hate for someone to get hurt out in these remote places. With that being said Spruce Creek is hard to find, at some point it merges with Brushy Fork Creek just south of the MT border. 46°36'17.4"N 114°24'39.1"W (this is just how to find the creek) I will update you with a approx put in and take out Be aware there is at least one very large mandatory portage along a waterfall on a high ridge. I know we were talking about doing this run again soon so there may be a chance for u to hop on with us if ur interested.

For rivers you'll always want the drains OPEN. Then slide the caps under the floor so the drains are unobstructed. They work well, you'll bathtub in huge rapids but it drains fast. For lakes or the Ocean you'll want them CLOSED and the skeg for better handling. Open water it handles well, just be aware it can be harder to handle in high winds or chop unless you've got some weight in it.

@@montanamatt great insight, thanks Matt.

Great, I'm glad that helped, made using the big boat a lot more fun on solo runs.

was just about to ask a similar question -- solo with the 420X. Probably will be easier at least w/o the big dog that likes to stand up in the rough.

@@ricosaurus but thats your tube puncher! teach the dog to highside! :) I know a few really good ducky dogs

@@montanamatt so far teaching her not to leap out -- well, I didn't teach her, swimming did. Better to stay in the boat she's found. Next -- don't stand up on the bow in the waves... If I could get her to highside that would be amazing.

It really depends on how what you want out of your boating experiences. I like the big 420 for its stability, it can take monster hits, but if you get caught out of position and sideways thats where I get flipped usually. I like the 420 for big rivers, but I also bought a smaller ducky for creeks which while being very quick and agile, cannot take the hits the 420x can. I've shifted my solo paddling position in the 420 very far forward, so my weight is in the front of the boat giving me more drive/weight/power for bow hits, the boat will also track better. If you have a local boating shop can demo/rent a smaller IK and get a feel for the experience before making a decision

@@montanamatt I appreciate the response. I am spending the summer in Colorado and taking the 420X and my Dagger Torrent. I am hoping to use both on some Class II-III paddles. It should give me a chance to try out the 420X solo a bit before jumping into something. Also, I was looking into an Aire Lynx 1 but opted out due to price and availability. I think I'll just stick with Sea Eagle stuff.

@@montanamatt do you have any pictures of your solo setup for the 420X? I looked at the location of the factory D rings and I'm not sure the upgraded seat attaches to 4 D rings. No problem if you don't have any though. (P.S. I liked the swim on the Upper Clackamas. Those diagonal waves have nailed me a time or two also.)

@@jdouglaswilhelm6301 good question. Just ordered a pair of thigh straps for my 420X and may be gluing on some D rings.

@@jdouglaswilhelm6301 let me see what I can work up, I havn't had a lot of time to paddle this summer

Standby we got some rivers coming into play soon, Big Blue will be out shortly

glad you enjoyed it! Would love to hear some stories of your experiences too! Cheers

Yes, it's self bailing. It has scupper plugs which you can screw back into the drain holes for flatwater. She still bathtubs after really big hits, but drains pretty quickly.

Its worth the investment. Id recommend the kokatat ones, my NRS dry suit is pretty crummy.

@@montanamatt Good to know! Thanks.

I took out the inflatable seats and use kayaking high back seats from Seattle sports,I believe the newer Sea-eagles have the new style seats as a option and they do sell them from their website. I also put in 4 D-rings for thigh straps. Aire,NRS, and sea eagle all sell thigh straps and D-Rings. Just make sure that they are not too tight, you want them to slip off easily so they are not a entrapment hazard.

@@montanamatt OK thank you very much! You guys looked like you were having a ball :D I am not as advanced as you are. You are at a pro level.
