FPV MultiGP Drone Race | BEHIND THE SCENES

33 Comments

1. Thanks so much for this video JB! I decided I’m going to try racing this season and couldn’t really find anything on the behind the scenes of racing and what to expect your first race and pointers for noobs like me. Sure there’s a bunch of quality pilots that show their racing footage and practice sessions (John E Fly, Captain Vanover, Justin Skinner to a name a few) and that’s a big help too for sure but this is the first video showing pretty much how the race runs both while your flying and in the pits. Definitely helped ease my nerves about competing in some of the local races in my area. Maybe when I go to IO this year I’ll do a video for rookies like me showing exactly what it’s like from check in to till the end of the event and everything in between. ? Great stuff as always JB. Keep up the good work! ??

2. i realise most ppl in this hobby are older adult, i rarely see teens or ppl in the 20's

3. 6:17 that one guy that pulls up with a three inch

4. What track is that? i can't find it anywhere

5. That was Very Cool JB. Just like you yea your Cool.

6. Professor joshua bardwell.

7. how is your dvr so clean

8. If I go to a race and I am so slow that I am slowly tiptoeing through the gates, are the pros going to be annoyed that I am in the way, or are they so good they can just dodge me and they wont mind me being there?

9. Great video dude! Glad to see you branching out into the racing discipline. You really covered all the bases of what to expect at a race.

10. Can you actually give advice with race rigs as for a close track race build. Long track efficient build. Fast track race build, and last, what build would be good with all around balance and with gopro. Im getting into racing but there is no easy info as to what race builds are good for in their own criteria. Thanks for the video and any info related to this would be really appreciated. I dont like watching other peoples video for information as much as I do from you.

11. Good race

12. As a spectator I would suggest taking your goggles to watch. Things are moving really fast and it's hard to focus on anyone's quad.

13. Thank you for this, I've been flying a few years, BUT never been to or see a drone race.

14. I would say don’t be intimidated. We all have been new. At least the races I have attended, everyone is cool and not going to be a dick to you.

15. You look and sound so much like Felix from StarTrek….hes ace too ?

16. Hello Joshua Bardwell.
    
    We are from Rio de Janeiro – Brazil, and we admire your channel a lot and we played this same circuit last weekend.
    
    I hope you enjoy this little video :

    My regards

17. I have had a racing drone since 2015 and never even been to a race

18. I didn't know to take my rates down that low. Thank you.

19. I’ve had that sound come and go depending on the tune. I don’t think you can prove it’s unique to the Floss. I personally don’t fly the Floss…but regardless I’m not sure why you called out the frame in the title.

20. I have a drone but I am Just a kid and i have yt.
    I never had à race because my drone is Just New from 6 november.

21. 10:00 omg the bug on the shirt…. couldn't stop looking at it lollllllll….. FLICK IT FLICK IT FLICK IT FLICK IT FLICK IT

22. Would love to see more about how the video channels are set up for race livestreams.

23. He says 'not rocket science',… and how many of us wondered about fitting rockets to Kwads ? 😀

24. m/ [X‿x] m/ Well Done Grats on the victory !

25. Thank you Joshua, I am building a track at my house and getting ready for next year races.

26. i only do freestyle flying but want to get into racing next summer. would you suggest building a race specific quad or just get into it with one of my freestyle setups? ive never raced before so i only have freestyle rigs

27. Very educational. This looks like the equivalent of a neighborhood football game… very friendly. Nothing like a "Professional" football game. In bigger races (more prestige and bigger prizes) is there security? Do you have field security (a spotter) in case a kid runs out onto the field? Do you rope off the pilots and spotters and put security behind them to prevent getting distracted or touched (wink wink asked in reference to a video with the comments turned off)? Perhaps this fledgling sport has grown to the point where it is time to arrange security like they do for other big sporting events.

28. In the beginning, you mentioned you would show people's pit set ups, but didn't get to that. It would be cool to see what people bring and how they set up. Cool video, I guess I'm lucky that the local NWFPV folks (Portland, OR) are really cool, I haven't raced yet but have been to practices and they were super helpful getting me past the initial terror.

29. I have a question
    Not about the vid but what is beter between an 3dbi and 5dbi aomway antenna?
    The 3dbi one cost more than the 5dbi

30. Good summary 🙂

31. There is any app for the random start sound?

32. How do you see who's the winner in a tight finish?

33. Goggles down, thumbs up! When I started flying fpv I loved freestyle. I am not a competitive person by nature, but our local fpv club had a fun fly to show what Racing was like, and I realized I love chasing gates! It’s like flying with purpose. My freestyle flying has benefited from it too.
