And what kind of bad gear is being used today interested
yeah BOT, people just all don't realize that Trappy's an awesome dude. [Raphael is fun and funny!]
[side note, i do fly TBS source ones exclusively [5"-7"], not to be biased. i like to build my own. HDZ4LIFE]
I agree. If you help one person by telling your story, then it is all worth it. Thanks for taking us along with you and we got your back. BBOOOOOTTTT!
DERRRRRRP
I appreciates you B HOLE, 420th of the 420 of the grinderinos to keep you plant based flying
What a coincidence. It's my 8 month anniversary. Here is what I've learned. 1 If your vtx is overheating don't take off in hopes of the air cooling it off. 2 Don't fly far away and then crash.
Hey wait a minute 😂 I do the flying thing when my vtx is starting to overheat
@@serenestateofbeing1062 its like a yellow light - it means floor it! dunno what he's talking about either lol
@@serenestateofbeing1062 Some vtxs probably will be fine. I've had bad luck with the video going out twice so now I let it cool first. It only gets that way (overheat) if you spend too much time goofing around (like in settings menus) before you fly. Which is something you do when you are new.
Rule 1 use analog Vtx .
Exactly, don't just take off. Full send it so it cools right away ;P
AWWWW ALL THE MEMORIES!!! I love you bro. You’re a blessing to this hobby and to all of us!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You’re absolutely right Zoroe because I luv watching your videos as well. Keep up the great work as well, man.
Hope you've been doing okay Zoroe. Cheers mate.
Zoroe and Bot. Two of the good ones.
WOW - Trappy (6:20) -> that is amazing!
Yet Trappy gets a lot of shit from ppl.
@@IanF-FPV because most people can't handle the truth :)
"everything". That was powerful!!!!!!! ❤️
Trappy is an unsung hero!
Bot - Patreon supporter here.
FPV gets my head right, and it keeps me out of "trouble" but sometimes it gets routine flying in the same spots etc...I'm sure others feel the same sometimes? So just knowing the passion of flying is something we all share and we get to see you share your life with us too? I can't get enough! Your story telling talent makes me fly even higher bro! Even if your next video was just you cruising on the bike/freestyleFPV/ whoopin/ and just a few words to your fans, I'll always enjoy your awesome self! Don't worry so much about editing perfection for every vid. Raw is great sometimes and I'm sure the next one will be better!
You seriously are one of the last real TH-camrs out there making content that makes you happy and not worried about a dollar you will always have my respect and I look forward to your next videos thank you so much! Stay real! Stay humble!
Your a legend Bot and after hearing what a legend Trappy is i have even more respect for him
That is a true rags to a pay check story. Keep it up bro.
Damn I’m pumped to hear the Prof cut back for this videos intro. I was sad to hear that one stop getting used.
Original intro is tops, always gets me keen for another bot video.
I’m coming up on 15 years of FPV adventures. I built my first quad in 2009. I four wheeled to the top of a mountain yesterday with my dog and flew all afternoon . Walksnail and a 32” HD TV in the back of the truck has been my setup lately. Love this shit … never going to grow up!
There once was a TV sitcom called “Eight is Enough.” This is a blatant falsehood. Here’s to eight more, sir! 🌴 🍄
Above everything in FPV, you have taught me to have a crack, not worry about too much, and have fun with it.
Your carefree attitude in life is very admirable. Thank you Bot!
Bot you are one of the best parts of fpv. Keep being you and true to yourself. Here is to another 8 years…
Congratulations to 8 years FPV! 🎉
Thanks for all the hard work and for keeping the fun in FPV.
Looking forward to the next 8 years. 🦾🤖❤
FPV helped with my 4 years and counting sobriety. I traded one addiction for another addiction and I'm happy with how things worked out. Keep going and don't look back!
Yo Bot! I started watching your vids again after hella years. You're the only fpv guy I watch. Me, I started doing fpv about 7 years ago, so I remember a lot of this. I was a motovlogger back then, but I started a fpv channel cuz I got sick of the drama in the moto community. Now, I'm back on my main channel which is now all about camera drones and got my Part 107. I haven't flown fpv in ages, so I watch you and reminisce. You make me wanna dust off my gear again. You have always kept it real and you're a cool dude. I've been clean from 😚💨 for over 3 yrs and 🍺 for a year. So keep it up and the vids coming. I'm happy for your success! ✌🏾💙🚀
You and I the complete polar opposites when it comes to lifestyles.
But I would most definitely smoke chill and fly with you.
IDGAF you are a legend.
that was really cute. I remember your whole journey. I remember your first video. and I remember when you got your goggles. You've been the hero and the villain in this story and it's been fun to watch keep doing it!
You've been my FPV spirit animal since the first time I saw you. ;) Lot to admire about you, Dude.
Fpv has totally kept me clean since 2018. I don't know what I would do without it. You are an inspiration @BOTGRINDER Keep it up. And thank you for the great content 🙏
Congratulations on this amazing milestone. But it’s true, not only are you a great inspiration for the hobby but also setting a better example of yourself to show others that anything is possible.
Bot is the shit cause he's real. You can look the other way on alot of things if you know it's authentic.
The first thing I bought from a youtuber was your Christmas sweater in 2023. Everyone I work with love it
Dude, I’ll never forget meeting you in person for the first time at Rampage. We had chatted back a forth a bit on livestreams and stuff and when I saw you and hollered your name in that parking lot, and told you who I was, you gave me a big ole bro hug and I knew you were an awesome person. I’ve had nothing but mad respect for you. I hope you continue to enjoy doing what you love and I hope you are majorly successful in everything you do. Much love, my brother, from this ole Bama boy.
🔥🔥🔥🔥been clean for two years now. Let’s Keep pushing forward brother,we got this shit🔥🔥🔥
Congrats!
I've been flying for 7 and let me tell you. Shit has definitely changed. All the dji dudes who started making cinewhoop videos kinda killed the vibe 😂
"I just like flying quads and making videos about it."
It comes through! Only found your videos in the last couple weeks since my son has become super interested in FPV and I had no clue about anything about the hobby. I still know SFA but my kid does so all I need to do is learn to fly better and enjoy watching people make content.
Thanks for doing what you do.
You are cemented in the FPV history Bro.....what you call "one of the great" learning never stops...if anybody think other-wise , let them find the next bridge, and solve their problem🦁🦁🦁
It's been an entertaining ride man. Sponsorship would be nice to have for sure. Glad this youtube gig helps you out because I enjoy the videos.
Hey, knowing that Trappy did that for you makes me feel even better about choosing to use TBS products such as the Mambo and Tracer, etc... My first VTX was an analog TBS unit (can't remember the model). When I first starting flying in I felt that the TBS products were some of if not the very best on the market.
And for what it is worth, I have a set of your 2207 Grinder motors, very solid!
Keep up the great work, having fun, and I do hope you keep growing and can keep having a life that you appreciate. Cheers!
The Trappy connection was how you got noticed by DHS.
Here's to another 8 years in this crazy hobby! :) Thanks for the trip down memory lane!
Cheers homie!!!
Fpv was a blessing for you to change your life and find something your fucking great at. Not many people can bounce back like you did but there is still hope for everyone. Congrad to you grinder
I think I have been following for most of it! You were the first person I saw putting sick ass music to fpv! I also used to fly a cemetery, lol! Keep kicking ass dude!!
Your channel is probably the one FPV channel I followed the entire time - I just started FPV a few months earlier and I subbed because you seemed to be an original character and an honest person❣️... suddenly you started popping up in all the podcasts and regular FPV content I consumed religiously in my first 6 years of my FPV journey so I definitely started to develop a para social relationship at that point 😅. I honestly skipped the flying part in your edits for the first years - but that changed over time, now I enjoy the full show. After all the years, you are still a person I enjoy seeing every week, thanks for sharing!
Word!!! Go Bot 👻💨 FPV world is changing but at least u have stayed pretty consistent
Thanks brother for being real👊🏼😎 Been flying since 2017 and always appreciated your individuality and honesty 👌🏼
I choose my words carefully when I say that was a beautiful, open, honest and informational video. Thank you BG 👌
I have always had a blast when your around. Your passion for the hobby is definitely contagious brother!
Taking all the FPV stuff aside, I have a confession to make ! You have a really great taste for music ! Seriously!
You're the best there is Bot. Love you! Thanks for sharing your journey
I remember meeting you a few times over the years when I was really active in fpv. After COVID and all the new rules I didn't have time to dedicate and the crew I flew with weren't often available. I literally still have all my drone stuff just waiting for me. Trying to make a fun show in Coffee and Drones was the best time ever. When I saw you were working with NHRL on combat robotics, I was legit smiling from ear to ear. I've been pushing hard and having a ton of fun in that space. If you ever want to come to a robot event in the Tennessee/Georgia/Florida etc areas let me know, you've got a place to hang out and I'll be happy to chauffeur you around as needed. It'll be a blast!
Awesome thanks for the offer!
Great vid man. I rarely listen to anyone's vid completely from start to finish with at least putting it on 2x speed. I listened to all of that start to finish and enjoyed it.
Break up the monotony. Your unique personality is part of what makes you so interesting to watch. Keep doing it, man. 🔥
Thank you homie, also Kazi showed me that new frame and it looks sick bro!
@@BOTGRINDER thanks, brother. You and I have similar frame needs 4shure. 👍
hahaha that's me at 8:48 creating that fog you were talking about hahahahah I'm dead, that is awesome. I too hold extremely fond memories of that year's IO trip. Thanks BOT, miss you man.
You’re one of the best, most relatable personalities on the Tube my friend. Thank for all you do on this platform and as an amazing pilot who genuinely wants to lift everyone up!
You're a real one, Botgrinder. Whether it's a talking head video or fpv adventure video, I'll smash that like button. because it's the personality that keeps me watching.
Awe thx g.
Congratz to your 8th FPV Anniversary again man 🥳
Im literally still new in FPV but im so happy that i found your Channel last year 😁

Great video Brother. Sending Love from Detroit!!
You are an inspiration to many!! Do what you love!!
Thats the thing! Sure there are better Pilots then you (and me) but in the end of the day we almost all enjoy autentic people goofing of more than a Technical perfect and filtered V-log. Stay who you are, we love you!
Great vid, Bot. FPV and you are one of my joys in life, homie.
Love this video. Very inspiring. I've been following since about 2021. You are probably the only account i consistently watch.
stoked to be a patron supporter. your candor, confidence, and knowledge of self (on and off cam) is what's up. you influenced me via yt (years before we met) to keep building and flying until i was able to connect with others. so much respect homie.
🙏🏽❤️ #everything 😹
Congrats on 8y homie still making banger vids after all this time🔥🔥
Nice one Bot. Incredible story. Keep clean and stay honest.
Nice look back at the years you've flown. Keep doing what you do, man!😀
Love you Doug! Been watching since 2018 and you always keep it real. This vid was great. You always inspire me to get back out there and put the goggles back on after not feeling it for a while and you did it again. I hope you have a great summer!
thanks for the years of entertainment and engagement with everyone in this hobby.
congrats on 8 years in the hobby dude. keep up the sick content!
Ur awesome dude. Glad u went to find urself. Awesome journey you let us watch, be part of. Reflection is what makes self awareness a beautiful blessing in our lives, just like you Bot!
Good for you man! Keep living your truth. 🦾🦾
Such an awesome story man. I’m new in the FPV world and love watching your vids! Definitely refreshing seeing creators be them selves
Wow! You are doing great! Keep it up! You are an inspiration to younger viewers! Proud of you dude!
Thanks for helping us all out bro 🤙
I fux with you fr man. Thank you for being you and for staying on your grind. Thank you for believing in your people and for believing in yourself 💯🙏♾️.
Dude first video I've saw of your was the fusion vs rapidfire vid. Been a fan since. Stay real my dude!
Its definitly been a crazy ride all these years homie!
Keep doing YOU! Yes, your passion can be seen and it does make a difference ..
It's always interesting to hear history of FPV & peoples journeys, keep kicking ass dude
Such amazing insight!! You been through a lot homie!
Awesome to finally meet you this weekend homie!!!
I have always considered you to be a very honest perspective of our awesome hobby. keep ripping Bot!!
The hot dog lifter and the screaming goat were money!!!!
Congratulations on your 8th anniversary in fpv. I'm still around watching your videos not wanting to miss the day you actually get better. 🐦💖🤓
You are absolutely right FPV has changed definitely and I will continue watching your blogs because they will always be interesting. Keep up the great work. Keep getting high drinking kills and enjoy making great FPV videos. I love watching them hopefully one day we can meet up and have a great freestyle, run 😎👌🏽
Well done bruh! Proud of u! Love ur sharing sesh and ur vids! And yeah, sometimes one runs out of ideas to do videos and it becomes forced and takes the joy out of making videos! I love making youtube videos too and mostly, just flying drones, doing dumb shit with them and hanging out with my buddies! Keep them awesome videos coming man!!! Love it!
Thanks for regular good vibes in a routinely crappy world. Love ya Bot!
Very inspirational video. I'm happy you are in a better position in life due to FPV and the awesome community! Been watching most of your videos and I really like the down to earth videos. Had been nice to join in at the right time, but with the rules and all messing up the joy and fun of it to try to control the hobby. (I know it is the few that ruined it, but still).
I love this one very much man
You’re a true inspiration to all ⭐️
Thank you for all of your contributions
Cheers to another 8 more years
One love Bot 🤖 ✌🏽
