My thirst fpv video was why should you fly 800 mW from Mr Steel

[@kookkevin]

The Bardwell clip was to good!

[@bfattori01]

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

[@Dav2112]

Man, I wish Tom would start posting again, the guy is hilarious.

[@wooler78]

To busy with his tattoos now lol I miss him too

[@leadandsteel]

Fucking when this covid stuff is over I'm going to england to find him and the lad and make him fly.

[@bugsy742]

"left behind" was the video that made me locked on fpv

The forest video got me hooked when it came out, they look so slow now haha

It’s what put fpv on the map man - legendary vid

Just got into the fpv drones like a year ago, its crazy thinkin people were doin this shit in 2013!!

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

[@nastynine48]

We love you botgrinder love your videos remember always stay high and never leave your house without a bud in the bowl

[@jimbob6063able]

First time seeing some of these clips! Can't wait for my 250 frame to come so I can get some decent flying done!! Nice video bro

[@blam3329]

In 2017 I was shopping for my first “serious” drone, (a Phantom!) watching a bunch of KZbin 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.

[@y_i_fly5418]

Yup, even I remember my first ever FPV video I seen and that was Mr Steele “fear no concrete” I think. It was awesome and that’s what got me started.

[@hector-fpv]

This was a true pleasure to watch. Thank you Bot

[@josefdahari]

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

[@Mikebfpv]

"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!

[@TrentTationnaiseXization]

Why this is perfect. Being relativly new to the scene I enjoy catching up on what I have missed.

[@stevo43068]

I remember a lot of those vids. Another good one. Love.

[@rf-cinematic1576]

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!

[@peregrineflow7354]

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.

[@mb-kj6jt]

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

[@ThePetersand]

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

[@flieger05]

dont know why, but i do like your videos! cheers from austria

[@patrickeul]

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!

[@canceledczech457]

I actually went back a week or so ago and watched your OG lowes/graveyard videos from 3/4 yrs ago.

[@jeffswope1511]

Great job. I still have a Martian 2 that runs libre flight from back in the day. It’s like driving a 57 chevy. Sick

[@alexcook4851]

Charpu , old skool classic ! Great edit

[@dkfpv5835]

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

[@werewolvesfpv5002]

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.

Yoooo as someone new to the FPV game, this was a great video. Thank you!

[@steve_beatty]

lol...always enjoyable..🦾 Pretty sure Tom Smith was partly responsible for a world wide ink shortage...

[@WrongWayFPV]

Great trip down memory lane.. you and I started about the same time. Charpu was still with rotor riot lol.

Bro I was legit watching your old school vids last night. You have came a long way man!!

[@FlyHighWisconsin]

That's awesome to see some old videos. Crazy how far this has come as a hobby / sport. I'm glad I took the leap in to FPV for sure!

Great video Bot! The forest one got me into this.

Dig the toque, I miss the Bobby Clarke years, that was REAL hockey! Old time hockey!

and tht is also my first fpv video i saw on net. and still also have in old hdd

[@fatdogfpv9347]

Awesome video as always

[@stevedelp4067]

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

[@absolutezero0598]

Awesome video Bot!

[@bobturner3388]

That was a great and very funny video! I remember some of these videos myself!

[@DstruX]

Charpu will always be The Godfather of fpv.

I agree the naked GoPro was a great video!

[@AKtoTok]

Mannn flashbacks! Makes me wonder whered Id be if I hadnt quit 4 years ago 😅. Great vid as always 😄

[@MrBEEFCAKE26]

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 🔥

[@Pile_of_carbon]

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!

Yep starwars drone racing video it the one that did it for me...changed my life 2015 lol still gives me goosebumps everytime

[@mrmoosetoyou]

I was fortunate enough to have witnessed you're naked Gopro video. The black gloves were a great touch.

[@HDgodfrey]

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 ROCK BRO!!!! I GOT SHARK BYTE 3 DAYS AGO!!!!!!!!

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!

Was that not in here? I thought that was in here? Yeah if not I messed up big time.

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.

[@WhozBrokenHD]

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 ^^

Your contribution is apriciated,

that podracer video in the forest got me interested into fpv.

[@MagicFPV]

I think the French woods video has a LOT more views but got taken down because of the music and then eventually re uploaded

[@BOTGRINDER]

Yeah I remember it being way higher in views but this was the only one I could find.

[@MagicFPV]

@@BOTGRINDER remember that guy VEK!? (Whatever happened to him?)... this video of his was a huge early days inspiration for me! kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJiwe357oLhsd6c It was incredible flying for that time and the tune was banging 😎

[@retrodudefpv]

Great to watch. 😊😊😊

[@LifeOfSi]

Not storming here we are just having fires

[@Gosuminer]

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.

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.
