Can you guys do a tiny whoop race in a room full of mirrors?

[@crazyskull88]

this is actually not a bad idea.

[@YaBoyiOgus]

Haha, Awesome idea..

[@Redneck5]

Foam Test a fun house! you know a fun house full of mirrors. :)

[@ThePbstar224]

Foam Test definitely a good idea, I've never seen this done before.

[@RotorRiot]

+Foam Test great idea!

[@lcurole]

"I can't even stand up, but I can RIP!" LOL Steele is a machine.

[@TheTrapWarrior]

This was the funnies episode you guys ever made. Drunk Steele is so funny but surprisingly as wasted as he was still flew pretty well. Overall good video guys. Loved it.

[@LachlanPeknice]

you should have done a control, to see what they were like with no alcohol... Also what i learned from this, Drunk Steele can still fly better than me ;.(

[@fluffy_mango5026]

Yeah i mean steele is a machine and he will always be better than me whether hes drunk or not.

[@JasonParham83]

Don't we have like a decade of videos to reference as the "control"?

[@BMSWEB]

Not sure what the point was, but easy thumbs up just seeing Steele Drunk lol

[@dancardinal167]

BMSWEB lol really? don't fly intoxicated pretty sure...that and they wanted some shitz n gigglez publicity footage. still funny but good educational piece.

[@Luzeon]

BMSWEB next challenge: rip stoned! Haha.

[@malo6748]

@@Luzeon thats no challenge. Flying stoned is pretty easy.

[@relentless4g63t]

@@Luzeon stoned they will just fly extremely slow that's all I fly stoned plenty of times

[@Kwad.Kev2]

@@Luzeon indeed I’ve been flying for a few months stoned and I’m just better than when I’m sober lol

[@matejhacin5457]

The question has been answered. Steele can be drunk as fuck and still fly better than me.

I just ordered my "I can't stand up but I can rip!" T-shirt

Im dead "I cant even stand up, But i can rip".

[@SiNFPVGUAM]

3 years later, I want more of these random fun, types of episodes.

[@Kabab]

sign of a true professional. even mental and physical impairment doesn't have a big enough impact to prevent the task from being completed.

[@Kabab]

mistercohaagen oh nothing. just that this is the sign of a true professional. can do it in your sleep... I dunno bout your dentist, usually offices try to not have any scent.

[@anthonybannister5147]

I'm pretty sure the wordyour looking for is impairment not implement but you are right

[@SemmyRace]

Have you ever tried flying while (slowly) rotating on an office chair?

[@mateuszsoszynski7880]

SemmyRace flying while riding a rollercoster

[@-daigher-2549]

I flew... Off the chair

[@Vousie]

Why slowly?

[@AndyPorter79]

That would be so interesting. What effects do outside influences have on flying ability. I think you just created some grade 8 students science fair experiment. Lol

[@jopiewise4200]

Great and super funny episode ! Next marihuana 👍🏼

[@gi6449]

You mean marijuana

[@FlyersDistrict]

That rainbarf LOL

[@redsawacs1]

They fly better drunk thank me when I'm sober!

[@anthonybannister5147]

Your not the only one but these are the pioneers of this industry I'm almost sure this wasn't the first time at least one of them flew drunk, maybe not Steele tho lol

[@GLXYFPV]

6:36 "I can't even stand up, but I can rip"🤣 Steele you legend!!

[@repalmore]

Not surprised that Steel is a light weight but damn that poor boy just can't hold his liqueur. Tossing when he's still legal to drive?

[@samuelyang6463]

Robert Palmore to be fair he was taking shots... but then that's really not much. (He went nearly double the legal BAC for driving.)

[@repalmore]

YaMaster FPV No worries. Huge respect for his flying just can't be good at everything. feel bad for him. been there, done that.

[@samuelyang6463]

Robert Palmore yeah. He is great. He's just a bit skinny.

[@Deadwindshadow]

Are you both actually serious? You're essentially giving respect to people who have more tolerable livers... As if drinking makes you more of a "man". Lol, time to re-evaluate your values.

[@repalmore]

Deadwindshadow There is something that is in us all, the desire to compete and achieve. Though the method and outcome are sometimes hard t understand the basic idea was born of the need to survive. Competition comes in many forms and sometimes it just doesn't make sense. Obviously this doesn't make sense to you. Best wishes.

[@deeeeeds]

I'll be honest, I saw the title and groaned, but this was one of the best episodes yet. Well done, this feels like one of the older Rotor Riot episodes. I think you guys are really hitting your stride again.

[@megaeniotna]

What's the next video ? FLYING DRONES HIGH, are you up for the challenge ?

[@kevinhall8949]

I can't even get through this thing without having to pause it because I'm laughing so hard. "I can't even stand up but ah ken RIIIIIIIP!" LOLOLOLOL

[@delfyr1]

This was a lot of fun to watch and I really dig the post action recap and "lesson". Silly as the content was was you guys showed maturity in how you handled it! Keep it up!

[@emoritzi]

"i can`t even stand up, but i can RIP" steele is so badass ;)

[@3DMOFO2020]

BTW Welcome back Chad(FinalGlideAus)

[@6figs]

Cheers to this, i may have to get drunk to watch this on the same level!

[@williwonti]

OK, now do cannabis.

[@PinchTune]

"I can't even stand up, but I can rip!" LOL!

[@BrunoGomes666]

Loved the video but it was also very good to see Chad Nowak back again. Hope to see him more.

[@stone_fpv2599]

Nobody: Steele: Its getting fuller! WT*!!!!

[@Dangineering]

Oh my god, when steele Barfed I laughed so freaking hard.

[@lukabaroni1090]

The way Tommy tricked Steel by filling his glass more was so funny!

[@MukiFPV]

bah haha that intro!!! :O ha 8:13 Tommy is savage!!!

[@rc-fannl7364]

You mean to say these guys are usually sober when flying? I thought "a few sips" were the ingredient to be able to rip that hard, lol. ;-)

[@wallaceinked6805]

love to see charpu drunk flying

[@radius-fpv2186]

Haha steels sorry face priceless love it 🤣

[@1983paparoach]

Mr. Steele is a good man for being a light weight. good job keeping the body healthy

[@TheBalcerman]

Steele is tha DUDE. Love this guy! His performance, and overall form and sense of humour during that experiment were simply very cool. "What can I do for you?" - "You can record". Tough and funny.

[@ryanbunnell7488]

OK so Steele proved once again he is the master ripper. go Mr. Steele.

[@OmniFPV]

"I can't stand, but I can Rip!" 😂 Steele was lit fo sho 😎

[@samgab]

Was Chad excluded because of unfair advantage? Because he drinks and drones all the time?

[@28russ]

He's an aussie mate. Drinking's a professional sport here. Of course he had an unfair advantage. lol

[@samgab]

Fair dinkum.

[@fatal510]

nah he has been getting pissy lately and hates a lot of this video stuff. Dude is a drama queen.

[@28russ]

Strewth, stone the flamin crows. Are you an aussie too Samgab ? You seem to know the lingo mate. haha

[@ChristianWilhelmsen]

Kosher Dill Pickles or maybe, just maybe, he didn't feel like getting drunk?

Tommy, totally LEGENDARY at 8:12 where you pour more into Steeles and he no F'ing clue what happened LOL

[@DroneDayze]

Steele man I don't think I have laughed that hard in a long time 👍🏻

[@3DMOFO2020]

9:59 WOW! Mad props to Steele to be able to that shit on camera LOL! Fun episode guys you really proved the point you made and you did in a safe manner IMHO!

[@OutaTimeFPV]

Is that Chad?!?!? Yay Chad N. is back!!!!!

[@borsyzoltan368]

steele...u and your vids are the reason im into fpv...my 8 yrs old son follows and he is already rocking the vortex 250...next summer we will be ready for some built drones...thx for the awesome vids, sharing knowledge, my son Krisz says Hi from Hungary....keep up the good work....

[@connerbrandelmayr482]

hi rotor riot I love you videos and that you guys show Wat drone racing is really about please respond

[@RotorRiot]

Done.

[@TheLightningStalker]

Damn Steele flies better drunk that I do sober.

[@FelixGarbeAnnado]

Me too

[@itsawildrk2360]

ive shared this with 60 friends lol

[@jamespondy0]

figured Steele was a lightweight!! awesome episode!!

[@FPVRacingEvents]

Rotor Riot combines two great things: Drone RACING with Shots.... This turned out better than I thought! The rainbow was killer, and I just about died when Tommy pulled out the "Elixir" from Spain at 10:10 ....

[@mariano0312]

why chad did not participate? he always seems drunk.. still being the best.

[@3000gtwelder]

Seeing Steele doing the Technicolor yawn, reminded me of my Whiskey Snowboarding videos from years past.

[@tannerhamilton6025]

You guys should fly under the effects of other intoxicating substances of the leafier sort.

[@Autocharge1]

Good show, This only shows you that alcohol reduces your ability's to control anything. This doesn't mean you could not do something and probably do it well within small percentage but you increase your chances of failure at a higher percentage. Drink impairs your ability and your sense of reasoning. So if having a drink leave the car keys alone and place the RC controller by the keys and keep them there till sober. Don`t drink and Drive/Fly

[@manusk40]

The Asian, the fat guy or the hipster ? place your bets !!

[@drsmith1231]

Mr.steele: "anything a day keeps the doctor away, cause it ryhmes with day, goddamnit" xD Best joke ever. Haha @4:50

[@martingable6047]

Shoutout to Chad! Hope you're doing well. Also, best KZbin barf edit since Shonduras.

[@3000gtwelder]

What happened to Chad?

[@ArmattanQuads]

Kevin's last go was freeking hilarious. He was all over the place! Haha! Nice episode, gents.

Also can someone make a 10 hour remix of Steele epic sax guy from the end?

[@daleduropapito]

oh pls

"kevin you stepped in the vomit" kevin: "no thats the runoff, that, it doesnt count" almost died laughing hahahahahahah

[@shannonnewman3091]

some bho and a power loop ?

[@Mcdonaldt001]

This was so damn entertaining. I freaking lost it when Steele threw up!!!!

[@zaqwsx28]

drunk flying sponsored by emax LOL

[@danielharman4437]

Bad influence, but good clickbait

[@dancardinal167]

Lmao @ Steele getting hammered and pumping out track records 'after' the first 'straight' round! (too funny) Great example of "dont drink n fly guys" don't matter if its a boat, jetski, skidoo, motorcycle or any 'powered' vehicle, they're all dangerous to yourselves or others when you fly intoxicated...funny as hell sure, until someone gets hurt or worse. Keep mixin it up boys, RR rocks!

[@Xeak11]

hahah gj guys. Glad to see Chad around again!

[@Dogburt_Junior]

Steele is hilarious wasted.

[@grim-upnorth]

Hmmm... even when drunk, all of you guys flew your drones WAAAYYY better than I can.

[@The1tubaboy]

Not sure if this was just an excuse to drink

[@srd369]

Great vid fellas, it's like this fpv show is made just for me...I love that you can follow your own content path now without the watered down Corp feel. .. Its understandable that you had to make safety obviously front and center, not only for everyone's safety, but especially for the internet haters these days. Im most happy to see you Chad Nowak here again.. Your my favorite quad artist. Please stick around.

[@wickedneurons]

I liked the video before even watching it.

[@anagami528]

I'm missing the wise part of rotor riot - Chad Nowak - his words to have a fun with this hobby were real. Wanna see you guys one year from now.

[@alexmcnoogle3119]

All i learned was that Americans can't handle alcohol at all... You should come to sweden and have a drink. We measure how much we had during the night in gallons...

[@rambozo_fpv176]

Sweden adopted the metric system in 1889.

[@alexmcnoogle3119]

They did? And that prevented the swedes from using the imperial system?

[@cpthornman]

Same thing in Germany. Though they uses cases of beer as their unit of measurement.

[@rambozo_fpv176]

Touche.

[@dancardinal167]

Sir Alex McNoogle lol...US beer and booze is watered down. Canadians drink like Germans, Swiss and Irish...I think Steele's ancestors are from outside US he gets better as he drank more! 😉

[@rubiconforrest]

The best part is watching Steele be a 26 year old and know his drinking days are over. Happens to the best of us buddy lol.

[@MrCineris]

Where's the Charpu man? I bet he would get better by drinking too

[@28russ]

I reckon he'd be hilarious when he's drunk. Shame he's got a real job. haha

[@jsmithproductions]

that was hilarious hahahahahaha! Steele is a BEAST nothing can stop his muscle memory hahah

[@3000gtwelder]

Whats up with Chad? I haven't been seeing him in videos lately?

[@MrGaussFPV]

This is the best episode of FPV content I've ever seen. Fu**ing miss you guys.

Mikey Dread FPV yes, im not alone! 😂😂

[@cesarsalad8972]

Mikey Dread FPV worse part was that i was watching this in my school library....almost as bad of a choice as steele flying drunk lol

[@mafracao]

- You have been flying miniquads for a while... How well are you flying? - Well, I've been practicing a lot lately, so I would say I'm a 3-Shots-In-Steele pilot nowadays...

[@1cityslotsracing]

Smoking and flying is much better and safer lol

[@rickhaywoodgraywoulf]

And the moral of the story is... "Friends don't let friends drink and fly quads". :^) I'm just glad that none of you guys trashed your quads. Well, except for Tommy.

[@darthwoopv573]

damn Steele, you're like me, drink is no good, but your flying is good while impaired lol. good stuff fellas

[@noreaction1]

I think this calls for a repeat experiment, with a three lap average after each shot and a wait time of 15 minutes between rounds. The results are skewed because you didn't account for familiarity of the track, which can be controlled for by warming up while sober

[@mikesgamedomain8202]

Everybody knows the last part of a gamer's body to get drunk is the tips of the thumbs. I've crushed FPS sessions barely able to hold my head up. #notProudMoments Great work guys.

[@Charlie_Waffles]

"two days later were back to normal" ...Steele still looks stoned XD lol

[@onemantwohands5224]

Lol Aussie s no problem, Mr Steele cracked me up even two days later he's still looking groggy!!!! you poor bugger lol

[@insanitykills1879]

Y'all fly better drunk then me on my best day hahaha

[@petiot11]

eheh guys you are awesome. Never laughed so much watching a drone video. Steel can fly, but his drinking is bad! ;)

[@mafracao]

Although I know most of the Rotor Riot crew is only into Freestyle, I thing it would turn into a great episode to see all you guys preparing and racing for real in one event, not only to see what you are capable of doing in a racing environment but to show people what it takes to prepare and run into such event (specific gear, training, preparation in general and work into the actual race). Cheers from Brazil!

[@Kay-ye3bj]

Mr. Steele cant even stand or talk anymore but he can still do perfect powerloops and send it...that shows priorities :D

[@LukucProdigy]

One of the best videos :D I think its about how the brain is taking fpv flying. Somebodys brain is made for FPV and somebodys not so much, and then he must learn more :)

[@ShillDozer]

This is genius! You combined two awesome sports and the results are better than anyone could have imagined.

[@jus4kicks23]

That was hilariously informative. For a sec there I thought Steele had an iron stomach but then he got that failsafe.

[@liv2ride]

Nice Kent 81T @ 5:45 seconds, Never leave home without one ! Awesome video !!
