so did this just evaporate? only now getting into the fpv scene and these courses are by far the most epic i've seen. have things just moved away from outdoors in the years since?
On the castle they had to turn the drone around manually. I wonder whether it would be worth the extra weight to put a camera in the back so they could flip the whole drone in that spot.
DroneHub is right - we opted for less spectators given the locations. We also introduced the ProClass, and that brings with it a higher level of safety considerations. We opted to be more cautious with the races at this early stage of our “sport” to make sure we can properly control the overall experience. Now that we have done this, we will be including more spectators in the coming season.
That sounds like a nice safe way to get this sport started. I totally understand the danger in these things ripping around....especially the pro class. Good luck in your upcoming seasons. I think you are doing a great job with the coverage. It is top quality in my opinion.
Who wants to bet me that eventually pilots will be so good it'll be standard for them to loop-ta-loop around obstacles like that bridge. I say loop-ta-loop because that's what it is. IDk why people started calling it a power loop considering it's been a loop-ta-loop since 1913. A power loop is when you never kill the throttle during a roll or loop. That's just what it should be. Yes it's an opinion, but it's in the grey area between opinion and fact considering the the trick has already been named for over 100 years.
please more race, more flight, less introduction. almost half of all dr1 videos are introducing teams, pilot, dhl, dr1. It's boring to watch repatly same introduction content. so i always skip this parts. i prefer to watch heats that not shown.
The archangel commercial thing is fuckin hilarious, it makes no sense. How do "on board chip LED's" do anything to "give you the opportunity to crush the competition" LOL Also if you read the fine print that makes no sense either. "Images will not be projected through the headset" What!? "Drones do not operate remotely" What the fuck are they talking about!?!?!? Yes they do.... and YES they most certainly do. I'm so confused. If drones don't operate remotely then I must be doing something wrong.
Watched these sets of races way too much in highschool. The sport is so enjoyable to watch.
4:11 - At the end of the tenth and the final YEET!

Love these types over races especially with the pit stops. If like to see more laps for longer races.
Thanks - we agree. Longer races allows for more action to take place. The pit stops creates some interaction between the pilots/teams as well.
These videos makes me wanna go to the field and fly :3
I love that they immediately made a rule about teaming up against a team! great decisionmaking!
Great racing !

I keep looking in the videos for spectators at these races. It doesn't appear that anyone shows up to watch these. Am I wrong?
Except for Race 6, all these races are in very remote locations so I don't know if it makes sense for them have spectators.

Thank you! @@markarch3137
Is that right that Alex crashes a lot? I will supply the cookies and some finger food for free if there is a race in LA area!

Awesome!!
One of them saying "We're pilots" -- Not even close.
The reality schtick regarding tension and the like is so old.
