Imagine: you do extensive research, build a premium racing rig, train for months even years, set up your pids and rates for racing, and then finish the race after Drew's 1lbs 3d printed HD carrying brick
Great job, Drew and Alex
LMFAO!!!!!! That would definitely suck.
You just made me laugh harder than anything ive seen in the past two years
LOL - Kiss, kiss. Haha.
That was a great perspective. Normally, I turn racing videos off after the first lap, because I have seen the course already, and it gets repetitive. But, having a pilot to root for, and seeing their struggles along the way made it more interesting. Great job guys.
Yeah, that is something drl has to improve. There is to much bullsh*t moderator talking in DRL. This here with Vanover was great, makes your self as a viewer more focused on the race.
yeah i completely agree . that was an awsome video
If I do one lab without crashing feels like winning race lol
Lap*
If I get the quad to go into one of those inflated squares. It’s a win for me
@@mr.spacemango chill
Great work Alex!
Your racing was smooth sir!
I wasn't planning on watching this whole video but you guys done a great job of keeping it exciting and therefore I watched it all. Congratulations on the win!
same
Dang, I need to stop lookng at comments before I get to the end. You could have started with SPOILER! 😉 Congrats Alex, even if I haven't seen you win yet. Did that Alex' video seem really bad, or is that just how it is at these big races? I mean, it's perfectly flyable, but it seems like a lot of colored bands and noise. Or is this a case of the DVR being noticeably worse than what you see in the goggles?I have HD3s, and my DVR looks pretty good to me , especially compared to what I saw here, but it's mostly outdoors too, and I imagine all the multipathing and stray RF don't help.
@@ledchickenfpv7164 Oh sorry man. I never gave it any thought about spoiling the outcome of the video.
Yes I do agree with you on the DVR footage. It basically sucks. If this whole video was just DVR footage there is no way I could watch it all. I'm not really a big fan of this type of racing and how they remember when to make all those turns is pretty confusing to me.
I was just thinking the same thing at the end here! Didn’t even read through the comments during the video haha.
Alex you are my hero. Drew, the production value and pacing of this video is gold. Great job!
I would die from the stress 😂 the only racing I do is on liftoff and that gets my nerves pumping 🤣🤣
It´s such a great thing that you (Alex) joined Rotor Riot!!! I´ve been watching Rotor Riot for about two years now and the videos with you and Drew are my most favourite ones! :) (all others are great too ofc).
Wow, fantastic video. Way exceeded my expectations. I loved the pacing of the video. I loved how it was broken down into chapters. I loved the stories along the way. Some top notch work.
I'm so amazed at how calm and professional someone as young as Alex can be during competition. I was nervous just watching it, I just started racing and I'm a nervous wreck. Alex had some great tips in this one. Great video and nice win.
Good to see Vonover hype, in his element, mixes with Drib(smoov operator) out of his element, and holding his own. This clip is the bridging of worlds for me, Loved it!
I really like the pacing and narrative carried throughout this video! Keep these coming! Nice job guys!
That was a great episode! Congrats to the champ and to drew for his outstanding performance! Looking forward for the next one!!!!
Awesome vid. love drew flying his freestyle rig with gopro in a race!!! great positive energy throughout.
Keep em coming guys 😁
Yesss!!! I've been waiting for this episode thanks good job guys.
Loving all of the training vids Vanover has posted lately. Between rotor riot and flightclub my drone race training folder is getting full 👍👍👍 they have definitely helped my racing lately.
That was really fun to watch! Brilliant editing guys! Well done 👍🏻 Vanny!
I'm not a racer by any means, but this was one of the best videos you guys have put out. Had my hooked the whole time!
Been wanting to get a look at what it's like to be at the races, what it would be like to actually race, etc. and this was perfect for that. Thanks for bringing us along!
I can’t even think as fast as you can fly lol! Well deserved 2019 DRL championship - your Dad would have been proud! Good job Vanover!
This video was THOROUGHLY ENJOYABLE! Great racing, great commentary, and EXCELLENT Comradery! Loved every second of the video! Great work guys! :)
I had the pleasure of watching Alex fly at the North Dallas Speed Adicts home track a few years ago when his voice was still cracking. lol. That kid is a wizard at the sticks!! I knew way back then that the vanover hype was legit AF!!
Hope to see you soon back in Croatiaa :) .. also glad to see that comunity of fpv racers growing bigger in my country :D thankfully to rotor riot and orka.. Pozdrav slavoncima momci svaka cast!!! ;)
This was an amazing view of a race. Very well done on the video production. The production made it very exciting
Such a good video. You guys and this channel make me so happy and excited to fly more
This VIDEO got my heart pumping! Nice build up and content!
Way to go Alex! Congratulation!!
Am I the only one wondering what app @captainvanover is playing on his phone? THAT LOOKS SICKKK I NEEED IT
Drone On My Phone
@@JoshuaBardwell damnit its on iOS only T.T but hey it looks awesome!!
I need this!!!
Just download "FreeRider"
@@augie6029
Agreed. It's great, but you'll have to mess with the mass, gravity and drag to make it feel right. Get an OTG cable and plug your controller in. The virtual sticks are just going to teach you bad habits.
Great look at what goes on in a racer’s head! Thanks for sharing!
having met both of you at kwad camp in orlando,you seem to be really great guys.watching you two race together is pretty awesome.congrats to you both.
Nice race video with dvrs and interviews!!! Great work!!!
Glad that you been and visit my country. We have some of the words best Robotics ingenerist, and a lot's of drone entusiast.Nice video :D
Wow I don't know how you can fly at such a high speed with this resolution of the camera!
There is a level of skill here I can only dream of. Super impressive.
Finished watching now, first time I saw Vanover actually racing... Now I know what y'all mean when all the time you're all saying "Vanover's ****ing fast!"
,)
He's fast, but if you watch in the final he'll pull back to get back on his line and not hit gates. That's actually being fast.
that kids somethin special he can bring it when the heats on . that was awsome
Crazy track, nice flying!!!
This was a fun watch!
Awesome vid and team work demonstration! :)
nice fly Alex! Congratulation! 🏆🥇👍
No kidding that’s wild changing rates b4 qualifiers, good race man
very cool behind the scenes. alex is totally growing on me.
Winning a drone race with Thomas Bitmatta** 😂 🔥
Well done...lol
Lol! Only a joke. Both are 1000x faster than I’ll ever be
@@jordan1991r Phahahahahhhahahha soooo true
#truth lol
I have to say, walking the track and getting to know the track before you launch is a huge tip for new racers.
Great acquisition this Vanover 👍 great attitude and skills.
Great video RR crew, i really enjoyed this one.
Honestly, I don't find watching racing very interesting, nor have I had interest in doing it myself, but this video made it look like a lot of fun! Good job Alex for winning and Drew for the smooth HD flying!
This is An AWSOME video, thanks for sharing
Sick video!!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Anyone knows the name of the game at 10:55? Great vid! Cheers!
Good job!
Loved it thanks!
11:20 never ask someone something like that,he always gonna bluffs you, its like a poker game KINDA 😂 😂 😂

Love it! The boy and I are building our fleet to learn this thing called FPV.... tinyhawk(fun around the yard), Tomoquads Carrera(micro 2.5" racer), FVP Flight club Neutron 3" our park Practice quad, and when we can make it to the field.... 2hrs away.... our tokio pro's. Just want to fly, fly and fly some more!
Good job CV! That was some fast racing
This is both hilarious and awesome😂
Cool video guys, well done on the win
Great video. This racing vlog worked well

Lol!!! ⚠️ a drone race!!! Perfect. Race side is a good move for RR and the hobby!
Wow very nice flying Top.👍

really great video guys. Would have loved to had this sort of thing when I started racing instead of showing up having zero idea of what was going to happen and was like GO FAST WIN!!! (oh that was just quali #1??)
2:08 is an amazing tip! Very useful and interesting video
Simply the monster!!
Great Vid!

Well done Vanny.
Yeah !
Drew's got it - slow is smooth, smooth is fast
What Lipo do you use because the one I use drops in voltage at the speed your flying at
Good job and note if you are a young man who thinks of responsible and organized adult, many congratulations and deserved😉💯👍👌👌👌👌👌👌
Is there a site or place I can get info on events and such happening around? I would love to attend one of these.
5:44 You can see my 75x do an under cut ^^ priceless !
What are some strategies if you have to fly a different quad because you break one?
What receiver do you use for your drones with your futaba radio?
Good job Captain! you're great!
About you Drew, GET FAAAAAST!!!!
I would need 200 tries and a personal locker with 50 extra quads to even get close to his time. Great race
