@@leadandsteel I live in England mate, is this a quest perhaps 🤔 I’m just some pleb but you never know! dude might live near, world is a small place and this fkd up island is piss ant small 👍
After a year of flying, I gotta say that seeing Steel, Ummagawd, Stingy, and others suck as bad as all of us newbs makes me feel like I choose the right fucking hobby. Bot, you da man for putting together this hot reel
In 2017 I was shopping for my first “serious” drone, (a Phantom!) watching a bunch of RU-vid videos, and the Steele video of him diving the building in a moving car popped up in my feed. I still haven’t bought that Phantom yet. Oh, and bring back Icky.
Same bro. My first fpv video was drone racing through the woods. Not long after my first quad was the blade 350qx modded with a vtx and camera fat shark attitude v1 and being flying quads ever since. Great video thx for the memories
Great stuff, this is very motivating to see all this big names at their beginnings. I will load all my packs now... today was rain, but tomorrow should be a great day for flying. Maybe a good day for working on the juicy flick :-). See you in your next video!
Hey Bot, enjoyed the history lesson! Just subscribed to fpvcrate from your link and told em Bot sent me. Thanks for all the time and effort you give on this channel. Peace
Mind blowing history lesson. Talk about learning something today! Holy shit. I did not even know some of those pilots. Thanks Botgrinder I needed that man, Dude. Brilliant. More of these vids any time you are in the mood.
So glad u put Gapit over here. I loved he's edits and flying. So inspirational for me, wondering what happened to him he didn't upload anything for over a 18mnths or maybe even more. Thanks for this Video making memories to come back. Great job again Mate ! Cheers
Bro. I couldn't stop laughing I had to rewind it. You said Ummagawd been flying for 34 years. I don't know why that shit made me laugh so hard. Dude you always make my day brother
That video was a great trip down memory lane and I thought your last video was hilarious by the way and educational keep up the great work love your videos
"we haven't come very far" botgrinder 2021 🤣😂 great video man, love the commentary! I beleive the word you are looking for is spobby, coined by Martin Novak. Cheers dude!
Good stuff! I bet this was more effort than you give yourself credit for. I did get to watch the Naked GoPro vid. It was good content. Thanks for posting!
Dude this was so good! Love the fact that you went through these videos, so many of these got me hyped and into flying. Ps I used to love watching your videos, still do, i was broke af back in those days flying brushed whoops and you were just starting off your channel but watching you was like one the fav bits of my day.
@@BOTGRINDER its all good man, keep up the good work! You keep bringing up the teeth stuff bro, well assholes in the comments, but ever thought about buying grills? I don't mind the teeth, shit happens, but feel like it might fit yo swagger personality ;) Something Flatbush Zombies style with some fangs perhaps? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-do9VLONS86Y.html&ab_channel=FlatbushZombiesTV
@@BOTGRINDER ah shit man! Sick to hear you got a grill though, love either way man, hope you get em sorted :) If you ever come to the UK, post covid lol, hit me up would be so sick to rip some packs with you
Bro sick old school vids...I hear you about the forgetting thing..sometimes I sit n watch a film 3/4s of the way through im thinking im sure iv already watched this 😅
i'd just like to thank storm13,rctestflight and njtech, when i was doubting myself being able to build and fly fpv back in 2015, these guys gave me the encouragement to just dive in. so much funz.
Loved this trip down memory lane always a good think keep them coming man nothing wrong with lazy video. EPIC AS ALWAYS BRO 🤛🏻 my fav is by far the train one when yiur on the bridge your flying is so lit 🔥
Mr steels first video is of him sitting in a chair fpving with boxgoggles. Lol, every time I get angry at my crappy flying I think of that video . we all started at the same place, some just got a head start. Keep flying
Great walk down memory lane! I heard of fpv back in 2016 and were checking various vids from Charpu and the French forest race, but it wasn't until 2017 when I pulled the trigger. Before that, you needed and camera surveillance license to fly in my country, making drones sketchy to use and I didn't want to deal with all the legal paperwork. Most cyberpunk hobby _ever_! Can't wait for Neuralink to get compatible with 5.8GHz. I want a DNI to my quads damnit!
GAPiT is a legend!! Thanks for these throwbacks! And the first time I saw Cricket was in a SuprTech freestyle comp that I helped judge. I first saw Vortex there too. 👌🏻🤘🏻🤙🏻
I saw that video and thought it was awesome. I would love to know what the claim was. I was cracking up listening to it at work. Maybe my boss said it was causing employees to enjoy time while at work. 😒You know that can't be allowed. I love how you always say the next one will be better. They're all awesome. Keep smashing it!
You should have had Tom Smiths video “ best Fpv flight of all time” (probably wrong title) but Tom was flying from atop a cathedral type roof! It really was one of the best videos of all time!
idk how to tell you but post-process image correction / video stabilisation was already possible even before the early 2010's... that should explain how some of these guys had such stable clips at hand and not because of the great tuning of their quads ^^
@@BOTGRINDER remember that guy VEK!? (Whatever happened to him?)... this video of his was a huge early days inspiration for me! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bgMJKEkS9AE.html It was incredible flying for that time and the tune was banging 😎
GoPro's lawyers found a way to censor anything they don't want people to see. This system is broken. I started FPV in 2018 and I am full of respect for the pioneers who had to deal with weak motors, burning ESCs, 100 ms of input lag and above all poor flight control software. Charpu is a hero and so are Skitzo and Steele.
Oh man I seen the pod racing one. Years and years ago.. always wanted drones and never bit the bullet.. going back like 8yrs or longer But I didn't know and was looking at heli-pad like storm drone lol
What's up BOT... my first time getting to see you live.. would like to know when you are coming to Atlanta again.. really want to see you.. live in south Ga now.. but can be in ATL quick.. love you bro.. love who you are.. what you do and how ya do it

Dood, I missed this one. Such a great video. Don't look at my stupid first videos (or the rest, I just fly for fun, not to impress peoples. I post lame junk, dunno why I don't post my cool junk, oh yah, guerilla fpv - I have a DJI goggle video of me flying around a college haha and the security racing over to my volvo with his golf cart - landed in my open back window haha and drove off....) Dood I watch this and I've flown with the majority of these folks or am at least am distant friends with the rest or a fan (like of MetalDanny and Umma, never flown with them). May have (nope didn't) puff puff passed with many. F 2020 and 2021 I need to go fly. These last two years have been the suck for me. Moved 3 times and about to move again into a nice house, shwew (always welcome to crash if in Orlando). Hey bot you gonna be at Rampage in SC? I'm gonna most likely pick up ChopperGirl on my way up there and her manequin 'Serenity' hehheh. We are gonna sneak in the back and act all important and shit. (naw, we'll buy tix, but Serenity will be with us haha and I need to introduce you to ChopperGirl, she's cool as shiznit.) Wow that was a long comment. I blame the vodka, etc. Hope to see you there in Bardwell's neck of the neighborhood.
