Look at those cool boots. :). Carlos is out of this world hilarious.
AHAHHAAHHAHAA
In Spain we love being out of the world.
They were pretty sweet boots though ... :P
Is it bad of me to have an image of Puss in Boots appear in my head each time he mentions the boots?
If the guy with the boots sees this video please post a photo of your boots! :D
i cracked up at that. he needs to be on this show more
I had such a great time. Excellent recap guys, let's do it again soon.
Thanks for the shoutout guys! Loved Tinywhooping around you fine peeps and watching you pros work it at the race
"Omg RR's last vid isn't non stop flying skill and hilarity"
Excellent video, i can only imagine *every viewer* is bringing this to their local M.rotor club/group/band of mates and suggesting how they can tweak their event game to be this interactive, challenging, warm and inclusive - Thanks!
Thanks, guys. It's a pleasure to see you get together and fly. You guys have more fun than just compete, and that makes it so great to watch. You all are an inspiration.
you blokes are the best ambassadors for the sport imo. I also think the racing and mateship is still at its purest and most innocent level . love for it to get huge all over the world. I think RR brings awesome sport of Quadcopters to everyone. keep up the amazing work. I for one appreciate it.
And Mr Luke again...... what a legend!!!! he is aussie right ;0 (im kidding)
I really appreciate the effort you put into this series even though it has only 30, 000 subs.
36,800
Soo true umma gahwd 😏😏. Get it because of Tommy hehe ...
I feel like you all are my friends. Thanks for sharing the event. Great to see Zoe hanging with you. She is an amazing 3-D quadracopter builder and pilot.
Awesome episode. I had a blast hanging out guys. MALL EPISODE IS GOING TO BE SIIICCCCKKKKKKKKKK.
Jaw Dropper of that weekend ZOEFPV inverted Loop
OK that was great! BUUUUUUUUT.......for sure show the machines more....think hot rod show......I for one wanted really good looks at the quads. Great job Chadand Crew.
Epic recap guys :) missing you guys :) what an amazing event
The uk brings it home again. Well done luke. Doing the British pilots proud!
Well done on the Spanish win Luke.
Congratulations, Luke !
I like you. You inspire me, I'm 13 and saving up for my first proper quad, and you make me believe my age is not a handicap. I like it when younger people show the world what they can do, and you do just that.
Well done Luke, I was very happy to see you in the video at the event. Awesome that you won! Keep up the great work.
Great video Chad K. ! nice comments of the Rotor Riot team, nice overview, thanks for sharing this !
I raced with JohnnyFPV at the Midwest Drone Battle and we was by far the fastest of that day between him and Abel. Good to see him in the mix!
Epic.. Great recap - it's so so good to see this sport pick up SUCH momentum in the last year.. That event looked brilliant!!
The Rotor Riot crew is so far out there setting a great example of having fun, expanding the quad sports via education, motivation/encouragement for every experience level and publicly pushing their own personal envelopes. All venues are benefiting for a variety of reasons as RR points out the right path.
Great episode! I love how you spent so much time giving recognition to everyone involved and really represented the hobby and the sport in a very respectable manor! The editing on the rotor riot videos is top notch!! Very professional and super enjoyable to watch! Huge thanks for doing what you guys do, and looking forward to many more great episodes in the future!
Fantastic production again +Rotor Riot! Well done to Luke to taking out the win again. :)
I can't wait to see the whole event guys! Awesome episode its always been my favorite episodes to see all you guys together just talking and having fun especially with Tommy&Carlos there!
I am by definition a racer, I hardly to any freestyle and I know that Freestyle is Rotor Riots main staple. This has got to be my favorite episode so far, I truly had a smile on my face from start to finish. I am so glad that you guys saw what true racing is all about when its ran by an organization that puts racers first, MultiGP. Although normal races are less glamorous but that bond between pilots is still there. I hope to be able to catch up to you guys at the next one!
Just lookup multigp.com - there is probably a local race going on this weekend near all of YOU - go check it out (regardless if you can race or not)!
It's a pretty big world we live in. :D
never seen steele so quiet. awesome video as always .
Nooooo I didn't want it to end!! Loved the video guys! And had a blast out there with you all! Can't wait for the next one!
Great recap guys. I have to agree, one of the best tracks I have ever raced on, and of course the best people to have spent the weekend with. Party on.
@Jordan Temkin it was awesome meeting you in Guadalajara... thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience hope to see you again!
This is so true that this is that kind of sport where participants will share their knowledge to the people they will compete with (there is actually not an "against")
I will try those lenses you just told me... I already increased my cammera degrees and even though was way faster for me I really like the idea that this setup will help my flying skills. I really thank you man! Cheers from Mexico! Looking forward to having you back again!
Really enjoyed your commentary! Great to listen to and very informative. Thanks!
Thank you. you guys are awesome and a true inspiration to rest of us whom wanna be the best Damn fpv pilot we can be
Thank you for being such an inspiring group! I've been trying to get as much practice as possible hoping to one day meet you guys at event like this! Thanks again,
-Skeletor
DR1 Truly was an amazing event, I couln't be more honored to have been able to hang out and fly with all you awesome dudes! Can't wait until the next time! And Carlos, mi quadsa es su quadsa!
Sensational guys, one of my favourite videos so far :D
Carlos the one and only! Great episode!
mad respect for steele, after seeing his video on his concerns in regards to friendship over money and then to see he didnt race in this..what a complete and total legend!
great event! hope to see some on the east coast. it is really cool watching the birth of a sport. reminds me of the genesis of competitive skateboarding in the eighties. good times.
Nice little recap video u guys put together.
I was there and met a few of you guys. What a neat experience for all.
you guys rock! cant wait till fans can start going to these kind of events
Those races are just that great that I actually don't care about who the winner is. It's just awesome to watch. And actually it's awesome too see people worry about their competators getting knocked off. Awesome.
Great coverage guys! Loved it.
Brilliant video and love the banter
Awesome as always guys!!
wow im hooked from just watching your vids... cant wait till my gear gets here...
Thanks for that coverage. Cool insights. I agree the most with the idea of droneracing has to be held on spectacular places and integrate topo well. Have you seen the trailer of the race here in austria. Search for reute, not remembering what association its on. But they race on a location of a medieval ruin ontop a hill... I could also only dream of races that include cliffs where the gates are so spectacular. Of course these races will get more quad consuming if the crash recovery is just nearly impossible. While on the other side ppl like steele could earn there extra coin there by also climbing :-)
Reutte
Search for "Drone Champions League - Trailer"
+Important Broadcast thanks for the help, I was thinking of reutte with two t :-)
Nice video.
Chad talked about converting one of his quads to a 3D quad. Would like to see an episode on the build and first test flights.
That would be really cool.
Great job guys! Big fan here in Bogota, Colombia
Superb episode! More!
Great overview!
More videos like these after events!
Great video guys! ... not going to lie, I did the Dew thanks to this race ;)
my fave RR episode 👌
Back in the eighties when skating was at Tony Alva level there was the Pepsi challenge skateboard comps on east coast. The Dew is onto a good thing,
great job on the recap guys. Can't wait to see it in Aug.
Great recap, had the best of times missing everyone.
great recap guys, thanks for sharing your thoughs
Keep it going guys! The sports grows on the back of Giants!!!!
Awesome to hear for some of us inspiring mini quad pilots
What a cool bunch of people. :-)
Respect for what you are doing for our hobby, and I guess for some, your jobs nowadays.
Who would have thought a couple of years ago that this would grow so fast, more to come I am sure. :-)
Thanks for another great episode guys
Thanks for sharing. Please post a picture of the cool boots!
wish I had the opportunity to fly that track, awesome flying guys!
You guys rock
The ending is hilarious. Hahah XD
Well done.
wish I had the opportunity to fly that track, awesome flying guys÷
This is a beautiful community.
So much fun!
awsome guys .. power loop to that sh......
Tommy - "These are FFFRESSSSHHHH." lol
Great video I love rotor riot
it's nice to see major UAV events improving and working out the bugs! I would hate this sport to go the way of early 2000's paintball. It's also nice to hear of competitors helping and encouraging each other for the sake of improving competition and the future of the sport!
Great recap guys.. damn dudes.
12,000 views in less than 24 hours... YOU GUYS ROCK!!!
Sweet video keep it up
awesome video.
great video
Awesome recap/feedback. Quick question if you happen to see this, did the Science/Discovery Channel people understand what was going on from the very beginning or were they learning as they go?
Hi Lads.
I wish like to have this kind of events at the Canary Islands.
we're trying to increase this sport over here
Mountain Dew created Drone Hunting!
MULTIGP FTW!
I'm gonna power loop to bed every night now. :) Cheers guys!
I hope we get to watch this in the UK too?
Cool boots!
Aussie Nats is going to be crazy.
Damn, I really need to hear Steele's commentary! :D
nice track
Damn! I would really like to be there guys. You could organize a mundial event with pilots from arround the world!
You could come to spain jajaja 😆
please can you guys do a vid on 120/130 size quads eg: the rotor x atom :-P
what a dream!!!
What sort of tool kit do you guys recommend to use for building/repairing your quads?
Lads would love to see you guys flying through a cave network somewhere., im yet to see anyone ripping up underground.
Keep up the killer work guys!
Happened in April this year. Look up Mega Cavern. It was awesome.
Any predictions on who might be the first pilot to best Banni at an event?
Hey, those boots are pretty good.
what is the name of the 'pop music' track in the background here on this video, can be heard at the beginning and the end of the show.
Great job guys! How do I keep making it into episodes?
Cause Christian likes you
+Rotor Riot why haven't you guys waterproofed your quads yet?
Aww ❤️
New Sport Drone Enduro...Crazy gaps... DO IT
Wow, that would be awesome to be able to go to and see in person. Side question, why the 11 dislikes? Jealous much!
Hey guys got a question, I will fly my first race end of this month and the organizers told me that the Vortex was sending a lot of Fpv signals resulting in giving the other pilots a lot of interference in their FPV transmission. Have you made the same experiences in races with people flying vortexes? Thanks :)
What is the song you guys used for the outro/montage?
When will these things come to sweden ? :(
MultipGP App?? I was looking for times during the event and couldn't find them. Is this public?
Carlos and those boots ;-)
Is Shaun the guy from getfpv?
I wish this stuff was near me :)
It is airing during Drone Nationals? That sucks
Dope
