insight: by far the best idea of how the comp starts. its not silent like in golf, and the sounds of not just pure drone or dubbed sound track gave you the best perspective on the compition atmosphere. way to go on the road to get there.
The crash was inevitable, and awesome. Without risking a crash like that (not just at the end) this flight would never have been as jaw-dropping. Top work Skitzo
The judges' reactions are classic! Your flying - Awesome, emotional, powerful. Your style (as well as your attitude) is always inspirational. You are the king of EMO FPV!
Amazing. I remember watching this video month ago when I was starting to get passionate about FPV, and after following the RUclips community and watching thousand of videos I find this video truthly inspirational. It hasn't perfect vibration-free footage or ultimate flow. It has style and uniqueness, you can feel the emotion and the happyness of flying. Thanks Skitzo for this little work of art from the dawn of FPV ☺️
I'm just trying to get into FPV, this run gave me chills. This is what draws me in to the hobby. Forgive the language, but there were so many ass clinching moments. I'm just blown away by the level of skill here. True admiration.
You're phenomenal. Never lose sight of why you do this, because I can see from the reactions of your audience that you'll go down in history as one of the greats. Keep it up and thanks for such an amazing experience. =)
WHAAAAAAT?! Absolutely incredible, sir. I am so bummed I missed this event. I would've loved to have witnessed this run first hand. That dove through the tower right out of the gate was too nice!
From a quite majority that do not type comments* You have inspired me, and my little girl (I think she has watched this run more than me). We have little quads that we fly about the house, but when we started watching You, Mr. Steel, Charpu and more we were blown away at what you can do. Thank you so much, truly. And this is hands down the most amazing run to date that I can find on the inerwebs.
You are my hero! Best style out there. Ya other guys can fly fast and do quick moves but I don't want to see that. Keep doing your thing and inspiring us!
Skitzo, even with the nervs you still effortlessly strung your air dance together. So glad you've kept that style since early on, I'm sure it was cool seeing you do it first hand in a competitive environment which was likely a little out of your comfort zone. GOOD JOB!!
Have been watching this video over and over again trying to visualize your stick input in my mind but can hardly do that. Even though I've been flying helicopter and fixed wing 3D for 11 years I cannot do what you've done here... You are truly amazing.
Solid flight man, it's always a pleasure to see what you changed to your quad. I fly very hard in the forest here and we have similar style so it's really nice to see what you changed recently and what kind of tricks you developed!
Wholy shit man.....goosebumps. Your inverted hang times are insane! And when you did the stall over the one fly through and dropped in? Epic. You could hear everyone Ooo'in and Ahh'in.
This was the first FPV video I've ever seen. After seeing this video I've been hooked and fly as much as I can. Thanks for making the awesome videos. Keep up the good flying :).
+ICrashALot Thanks man! I think there are things to be said for both. I look up to all of these guys. I simply can't do the stuff they do so I look up to them as well :)
Awesome flight! More people need to experience flight like this (both spectator and competitor). The course was great! When you get a moment can you share the build and PID's for this flight? Thanks again.
Your flying always impresses! Have wanted to try that move you do a couple times like at 2:16, doing a kind of half flip/roll to end up pointing straight down to go through an opening but havent found anywhere suitable to try it, havent even seen it done on youtube until now! But i havent watched the other guys runs who might have also done it, as those frames they setup are just asking for that move!
+Skitzo FPV Not yet, finished building my 4s powered gravity 280 maybe a week ago which i think ill need to be able to 'catch' it before hitting the ground! But im from the UK so its been cold and wet with limited chances to fly..
Hey skitzo, miss you bud. I came back to this video bc it was the first fpv video I ever saw 7 yrs ago and launched me into the hobby. Just wanted to say thank you❤
Thanks for the kind words man! I’m glad you are still out there ripping the skies. Carry the torch on and inspire others brother! Who knows, maybe I will come back :)
duuuude!! that was ultra sick man. hats off to u. i live in ga as well i build and fly as well, not as good as u but good in self level still learning manual mode or as i call it pilot mode! that run literally made me feel like something was caught in my eyes i mean damn i had chills watching that.u really put ur heart and soul in racing these beastly machines.
Dude, what a performance! Nervous? Couldn't tell. Always such a thrill watching your skills and flow, keep it up mate, I think you're the best freestyler out there.
That was incredible! Your Piloting sure didn't look nervous to me. You flowed up, over, around, and threw the obstacles with incredible style. You've take FPV flight and turn it into art. So wish I could have been there to see your performance live. Truly Inspirational Piloting. So glad ya got to meet and perform with all the amazing pilots and people that make this hobby so awesome. Thanks for sharing your experience with us. Look forward to seeing where you go next. :-)
I can watch this video all day long... amazing skills! I build my first quad now and train with an indoor one, fucking difficult :-) Congratulations and thanks for this awesome flight & video. Greetings from Austria!
This got me into the sport of FPV I got into racing I got sponsored by iflight but then the South African branch had to close so they couldn't sponsor me anymore and I had to stop flying because I couldn't afford it anymore but this damn video got me into it and it is still brilliant to this day
it is insane how much this hobby has progressed.
Was gonna post the same thing. These tricks are pretty fundamental now. I feel bad for people getting into the hobby 5 years from now.
@@JustinormousFPV these night be standard moves now but there is nothing standard about skitzo timing.
2018 and this is probably one of the best videos out in FPV, so much respect for you man....
insight: by far the best idea of how the comp starts. its not silent like in golf, and the sounds of not just pure drone or dubbed sound track gave you the best perspective on the compition atmosphere. way to go on the road to get there.
This run will go down in the history books.. This is the way of the future! The way of the future!
Alex Zvada fearless
Miss you bro! :)
It actually did. Future predictions mate.
I actually think 3d heli flying is better
@@nightmareinaction629 not a bad idea considering when the word fpv is mentioned, people automatically think drones/quads/wings...
The crash was inevitable, and awesome. Without risking a crash like that (not just at the end) this flight would never have been as jaw-dropping. Top work Skitzo
watched this 1000 times .. it never gets old! simple beautiful
+deechtezolder Thank you!
Possibly the most iconic freestyle run IMO, almost two years ago and still mind blowing.
I am still amazed of this run. This will never get old.
The judges' reactions are classic! Your flying - Awesome, emotional, powerful. Your style (as well as your attitude) is always inspirational. You are the king of EMO FPV!
I love FinalGlide but this run is THE best freestyle run! I keep coming back to rewatch it.
+Robertlavigne1 Thanks man =)
I have watched this 18 times and a smiling and on the edge of my seat the whole time everytime.
01/10/2023 and still gassed by this video. Still inspirational!
totally amazing freestyle flight Jon. The best there is IMHO....
+juz70 Thanks Justin, wish you could have been there but there will be more to come :)
Yea... pretty good...
Someday people will look back in amazement at how that stadium is not packed full.
Cheers -
Ha, new norm
So much fun to watch over and over again. Please keep sharing videos. Thank you!
+Juan Sarti Thanks Juan :)
I always seem to come back to this video, by far my favourite drone video of all time. It always gives me goosebumps!
Back again, what a great time period this was!
Amazing.

Thanks Skitzo for this little work of art from the dawn of FPV ☺️
this is FPV History right there
+Phil Freybott Thanks biggen :)
Amazing to see how your flying has progressed over 3 years. Always good to look at old footage for new inspiration.
I'm just trying to get into FPV, this run gave me chills. This is what draws me in to the hobby. Forgive the language, but there were so many ass clinching moments. I'm just blown away by the level of skill here. True admiration.
+Johny2x4 Thanks man, I'm glad I could inspire you like others do me :)

Every time I watch this video, It makes me want to get more into FPV and quads.
Amazing flying.
You are my hero! Best style out there. Ya other guys can fly fast and do quick moves but I don't want to see that. Keep doing your thing and inspiring us!
I've seen hundreds of these videos. Skitzo is by far the best, and most artistic, pilot I've seen.
+Sasha Swetlowski Thank you Sasha!
I hope to fly like u. Not intense, not elegant, just some where in between. Smooth, exciting, and relaxing. Love your flying.
Skitzo, even with the nervs you still effortlessly strung your air dance together. So glad you've kept that style since early on, I'm sure it was cool seeing you do it first hand in a competitive environment which was likely a little out of your comfort zone. GOOD JOB!!
+Perceivedshift Thanks man, yeah, I was more than a little out of my comfort zone :)
+Skitzo FPV What do you use to tilt the motors forward? (10 degrees?)
Have been watching this video over and over again trying to visualize your stick input in my mind but can hardly do that. Even though I've been flying helicopter and fixed wing 3D for 11 years I cannot do what you've done here... You are truly amazing.
+Wentao Ye Well I can't fly 3D fixed wing so touche :) Thanks man
Just finished building another quad exclusively for Freestyle... I'm so into your videos as well as freestyle flying now.
Solid flight man, it's always a pleasure to see what you changed to your quad. I fly very hard in the forest here and we have similar style so it's really nice to see what you changed recently and what kind of tricks you developed!
+Niwa Thanks man :)
2023, still think this run is epic by today standards.
Thank homie! :)
The Flow is Engaged with this Jedi! Awesome flying Skitzo....Now I must go and watch this again.
Just gives me goosebumps every time I watch it! Epic man!
Saw the DVR footage a few days ago and that was already pretty amazing. This is beyond freaking awesome.
Absolutely stunning! As a beginner in the Quad world that just leaves me floored, Bravo!
Absolutly amazing Skitzo! I'm truly blown away...
Killer flight! The vertical dives through the structures blew my mind.
What an amazing run! Everything was so precise. Awesome job skitzo!
Watched this so many times,never gets old!!!
+Jonny Banton Thanks man :)
Great job, SkitZo! Always awesome watching your freestyle.
+Mikey “JellyLegs” Richard Thanks Mikey :)
You are incredible Skyzo, the best I have seen!!Congratulations!
+alfonso borja Thanks man
Master Skitzo !! You're the best as usual, thanks for your awesome skill, your fly is just an amazing dream !!!
+Jimmy M (JusticeLR) Thanks man :)
Wholy shit man.....goosebumps. Your inverted hang times are insane! And when you did the stall over the one fly through and dropped in? Epic. You could hear everyone Ooo'in and Ahh'in.
+Adam Smith Where were you? Why no Adam at F3? :)
Still watching this in 2018 and I still get goosebumps. A legendary flight that will go down in fpv history 🔥🔥🔥💯✌
Absolutely amazing, You have incredible skill. The best fly I ever seen. Greetings from Poland.
Absolutely amazing stuff. Your ability to cut gaps at high speed without flinching is incredible.
+Stunt Double Thank you :)
This was the first FPV video I've ever seen. After seeing this video I've been hooked and fly as much as I can. Thanks for making the awesome videos. Keep up the good flying :).
So sick. Glad I was there to see it! People were screaming during your run.
Absolutely amazing. I wish I could have stayed to watch it.
I've watched you over the months and I can say you're right there now man.
+zach pierce Thank you :)
This is still one of best videos!! I get pumped when I watch this.
Dude I have seen on other tube channels the raw vid of all who flew I think this flight was the best congrats love the way you fly, You killed it!!
+Plowboy H Thank you :)
I'm literally in tears.. that was insane. Having the reactions of people was a really cool addition
is always a pleasure to watch this video again once in a while. awesome!
I've wrote it before: You are an artist and your pencil is gravity!
+XY.FPV Thank you! :)
wow.. WOW that is some of the best flying ive ever seen!!! Just amazing!
+Stephen Rumer Thank you Stephen!
Best freestyler there is. Its not just ADHD spinning and random flips. Beautiful choreography.
+ICrashALot Not to take anything away from any pilots who have a different style, but I completely agree.
+ICrashALot Thanks man! I think there are things to be said for both. I look up to all of these guys. I simply can't do the stuff they do so I look up to them as well :)
Dope stuff here, the crowds reaction was the best part. Nice flying skitzo, you've improved 100fold since this
Masterful.
Awesome flying as usual Skitzo.... deliberate, calculated, graceful. This should be called "Flow under Pressure" :)
+Otis Gore Good to hear from you Otis! Thank you :)
Awesome flight! More people need to experience flight like this (both spectator and competitor). The course was great! When you get a moment can you share the build and PID's for this flight? Thanks again.
Wow, what you did there is really incredible... Great flying!
+Alvaro Beiste Thanks man! :)
You are a legend. Not least for putting a GoPro on your quad for that. I watched that run on Periscope and loved it. A masterpiece!
This is my favorite of your videos! This is what made me want to fpv! Thank you for you influence and inspiration!
Your flying always impresses! Have wanted to try that move you do a couple times like at 2:16, doing a kind of half flip/roll to end up pointing straight down to go through an opening but havent found anywhere suitable to try it, havent even seen it done on youtube until now! But i havent watched the other guys runs who might have also done it, as those frames they setup are just asking for that move!
+Gro FPV Got a chance to try it yet?
+Skitzo FPV Not yet, finished building my 4s powered gravity 280 maybe a week ago which i think ill need to be able to 'catch' it before hitting the ground! But im from the UK so its been cold and wet with limited chances to fly..
Dude, You Proved yourself on this one! You are a let better of a pilot than most with more Glory, Steele... Nice!
+JD FPV Thanks JD :)
i think this right here...is why i am going to get into FPV...Straight up flow as with the rest of your vids...watched most of them today...SICK!!!
Amazing job Skitzo!! Thanks for the video, and I think you did great.
+Thomas Lazette Thank you Thomas!
