Why vanny roll. Just call it the Van-Over

[@michaelwayland4421]

I like it! Vanny roll sounds like a sushi order.

[@51im]

@@michaelwayland4421 Seems fishy to me😀

[@goianfrancis]

I was going to say the same thing.

[@kylec.3602]

pure genius pure genius wow

[@campraincloud]

yupppp

[@brownster4865]

Drew and Vanny have a good dynamic together. Nice tutorial.

[@RotorRiot]

Thanks! Hope you picked up a few things, I know I did :) - Drew

[@terrellcarey6178]

I love the back and forth between Vanny and Drew.

[@jack_crisp]

“‘cause mine are out of stock.” 😂 Oh damn! 🤣

[@starsstripesjacket]

Drew and Alex are halarious together, i love it :p

[@oBseSsIoNPC]

Do people that haven't flown FPV drones even realize how hard these first tricks are to pull off so consistently and low?! Alex makes this look so easy, it makes me mad haha. Great kid, I am totally impressed by your talent, I know the more batteries you fly, the better you get at it. Alex has so much knowledge and understanding of flying, I appreciate that. Great video and great content, thanks!

[@IshamPadron]

Solid trick tutorial. I love the old married couple banter. Thanks, guys!

[@captainvanover]

Ishy P glad you enjoyed it! Drew is pretty fun to mess with

[@maccasfpv3137]

Vanny: “I’m not done talking, I’m not done talking” Drew: *keeps rambling on* Vanny: “LISTEN!!” 😂😂 Also, can you please do a Vanny racing build video!!

[@WrongWayFPV]

My favorite fpv duo. You guys are so great together. I'll definitely be trying this trick to add to my bag. Thanks guys.

[@captainvanover]

WrongWay FPV thanks for watching sir!

[@mattwilson1305]

Love the new Vanny-Drew roasting segments. Pleeease continue to make fun of each other 🤣🤣

[@zachcarrizales5038]

Best video in a while

[@brokemechanicfpv1420]

We were doing that roll when Vanny was in diapers

[@sleepingbearffg5008]

Lmaooooo

[@CarbonGlassMan]

It was invented in 1978 on a pentacoptor

[@GimbalLockFPV]

I agree with the "Van-Over". It rolls off the tongue nicely and captures the flow of the maneuver itself

[@Will_FPV]

This is one of my favorite tricks of all time

[@RotorRiot]

Yeah it’s super fun!

[@TheNitrox88]

nice DJI Commercial ;-) ... not falling for it :P

[@peterzingler6221]

Basically all the last videos are dji adds

[@rampletero13]

Who cares. Content has been good

[@jdm724]

That Peter guy is always negative in posts.. Of course they make adds, they are a company or are you going to pay rotorriot for all expenses? Guess not. And if you think all what they do is making a dji commercial why do you even follow them and make comments about it? Guess not much to do at home hè hahaha

[@TheNitrox88]

@@jdm724Beeing all negative is bad of course, in this point he is right tho... Rotorriot is making too much subliminal DJI commertial lately. That dampens their credibillity... In Germany subliminal commertial even is forbidden. If they make commertials i am OK with it but they should do it openly and stand behind the products. Otherwise people won't believe their recommendations (commertials) because they believe rr is biased.

[@rampletero13]

@@TheNitrox88 why would DJI dampen their credibility? Their trying to get into FPV. You don't agree on others getting into the FPV business?

[@nfamoussbf37]

You guys honestly make these episodes 🔥🔥🔥

[@captainvanover]

Nfamous Fpv thank you sir

[@RotorRiot]

Much appreciated!

[@foodrewiewer2226]

its one of the tricks of all time

[@yangsenmateyshi]

the best fpv video yet :) . . . . . . . Vanny Roll it is.

[@3-danything977]

Amazing guys really like how the video have been top notch

[@RotorRiot]

Thank you!

[@3-danything977]

@@RotorRiot it like when it was the old crew. Cant wait for the next video

[@notice_fpv]

"Sleeping on it" is definitely a thing! I'm a newb training in a sim and after a training session where I feel like I've peaked, I come back the next day and everything feels smoother and more controllable. Brains are weird.

[@thecanopyclimber]

Vanny Roll for sure! Sick! 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@vampcaff]

I always love half yawing to go under something then rolling after. It's a cool trick combo

[@51im]

You should bring out a kit of all of the parts that Alex uses and call it the Vanny Pack

[@baccarah7010]

Lol contact him and make a marketing deal

[@fcass]

Drew, thanks so much for letting me fly your quad the other day. Fun day and thumbs up to DJI. Hey guys, thanks for the -Vanny Roll- video => this inspires me to get out there and try this and push myself to do some other tricks. Best regards, =Fred Cass=

[@fcass]

I put dashes around Vanny Roll. Not hating on the name lol. Kickass trick Vanover.

[@brockl1269]

Vanover is so self absorbed he wants to name already discovered tricks after himself.

[@splif7773]

Your videos are the best when it's just you 2 flying. I just learned that trick recently, I just called it the reverse barrel roll. Yall should add more to the online store not enough selection!

[@atom7319]

Van-over-easy / love the look back w/ the roll and finish flowing yaw around to the next move. By the way you guy's are entertaining as well...

[@smalleaglefpv3186]

Van-Over for the win!

[@paulmagvt]

Finally, i always wanted an indepth breakdown of vanovers freestyle.

[@PhoenixFPV]

I've been doing this trick for 6 months 😅 nice flying Alex!

[@starshipfpv]

I'm with you ive been doing that trick fro a year now

[@quentinellis2102]

The exact shot of Le drib that the video editor ended the video on is amazing. Nice Easter egg for people who watched the whole video. I love it!!! 😂😂😂

[@neilfpv]

ah right even the half yaw is reached, we should roll as soon as possible! Very cool!

[@MCsCreations]

Pretty impressive, guys! Really nice tricks! 😃 Thanks for all the tips!

[@captainvanover]

MC's Creations 🔥🙏

[@DrunkAncestor]

The rivalry is great

[@apsfpv2217]

Why I no longer fly with anyone. My old group were only vlogging and trying to one up each other with views likes and subs. I just fly for the freedom experience and could careless about recognition. Then again I’m 46 and not a 26year old millennial.

[@1917VIL]

you sound more like a WW2 vet;) Flying for freedom, um...and to scare them damn kids off your lawn, bwahahahahahaha!

[@sleepingbearffg5008]

I understand statement..I'm old too! Lol

[@Loki-cd9nu]

Ok boomer

[@Oopsie223]

I like the friendly rivalry between them. It’s fun

[@Hyprmtr]

You need so release some Vanny-pack batteries.

[@Georgewrigley]

Awesome trick guys :)

[@dronimik]

No way I wanted to do a similar tricktutorial. Half a roll and continuing the backwards movement on the other side. Now I can go to bed knowing that in reality it's just a "Vanny Roll" without stopping. 😆 Vanuvered it through the trees.

[@captainvanover]

Smoothie FPV make a tutorial Man! The more info the better, the only thing that makes it a “vannyroll” is just the style that I’m trying to achieve while doing the maneuver

[@turmat01]

I also love it when you yaw out of it rather than stopping and going forward

[@zxracer79]

I dig the Vanny Roll

[@team01shakenbake]

Slick flip!

[@StacemanFPV]

I like Vanny Roll :D

[@FilipRadelic]

More like the vanity roll amirite? 😂

Keeping it real Vanover! ✊ Proper good guy! Don't go changing buddy!

Captains roll, like sushi...nice n raw..

Step 2 of the trick for LeDrib: accepting the trick name :)

[@penguinista]

"I like that you took that title from me ..." at 9:00 is hilarious.

[@ArtimusPrime]

More like VAINny roll!!

[@baccarah7010]

Watching this guy freestyle is just butter

[@truefpvblood158]

Shake that vanny roll....dat vanny roll.... Love it!.... Deal with it drew

[@bugsysiegals]

I want to see a reverse wall ride with rubic cube vanover ... that was sick between those trees!! Or would be sick if you did that reverse spin through the open part of a Ferris wheel and lock eyes with the people in their seat and then roll out ... LOL

[@FRY_FPV]

Totally stole Wildwilly's "what's up guys" 😂

[@apsfpv2217]

FRY FPV stole from Willy? That’s every cliche intro from thousands of vloggers ...

[@FRY_FPV]

@@FPVPRINTS oh yes he totally did haha 😋

[@criminalfpv]

He did!

The props on the hood like a chauk board 😖 And again... The on screen chemistry!

[@williamfreeze3924]

Hi Drew and Vanny Love the video and ty for the link to that store loving that I'm new to the FPV HOBBY I'm waiting on my first ever FPV starter package that comes with everything you need to start out in FPV I will be posting video's to that after I get it ,but I would like to fly the ones you guys fly the one I'm getting is a indoor flyer plus what you guys do looks and feels normal to me so I have to try that out for myself... love the FPV video's I do all my research on youtube with channels like yours keep flying

[@offaxisfpv]

are you sure you guys aren't brothers? too funny. I think is should be called the Vanny Roll Over :D

[@offaxisfpv]

cuz it really is a roll and over, not just a roll

[@YQVN35]

Dreb you ''je ne sais quoi" too much haha

[@mikeflightfpv2162]

I think everyone has done this trick for years.. good to have name for it now..

[@BrigzyFPV]

I like The Sausage Roll. Or The Weed Wacker Roll. You can't name a trick with your name, others can though so Drew needs to call it what he likes. Lol.

[@OpaFPV]

Great video for experienced AND new pilots. You two provide excellent explanations. These are helpful videos. Thank you!

[@AbdulAleemShekhani]

Really liking the rapport between Drib and Vanover :]

[@troysefff]

This is like naming a yaw spin after yourself. I dont know about this one. Seems arguably something everybody does on the reg.

[@captainvanover]

TroysephPV the vannyroll isn’t about the trick itself, more over how I like to do the trick and the style I’m trying to achieve while doing it :)

[@troysefff]

@@captainvanover AchHA! ok, I see. That does make more sense now, as your steez is the subject not the move itself. Rock on brozeph \\m//

[@jdm724]

Nice duo Vanny & Drew

[@PIDtoolbox]

cool maneuver. If I ever figure it out, I wont be calling it a "Vanny-roll". Sounds like a recipe from Grandma ... no wait, that's a nanny roll.

[@laytonblance]

I like the name Vanny Roll! I would like it even better if I could ever pull it off!

[@UFDACREW]

WE LOVE DREW!!!!

[@lowlyp0p]

Did someone noticed at 14:35 . After they go at it on who's battery strap method is better the Camerman says to drew : " your battery ejected" - I died XD

[@ShawnGuess]

The veiny roll. Euphemism.

[@MotosurfskateFPV]

Love that flow ... both of you got it

[@LetsFlyRC]

Love this trick. I learned this from Vanover back at Kwad Camp, when we first met. Definitely can’t do it as good as Alex, but it is a great trick. :)

[@lowkeyfpv3326]

ABD. It's called "slow yaw roll" like slow your roll. Sorry 2yrs to late.

[@captainvanover]

Lowkey FPV it’s the style, not saying i invented the trick, this is just my spin on it

[@captainvanover]

Rubber Band Powered we had lotsss of people asking to do a trick tutorial on the backwards roll and people wanted to know how I specifically did the trick. If you watched the whole video you will understand that the name “ vannyroll” was really just a joke captured in the episode itself and it is nothing more than a joke. I’m in no way trying to take credit for the trick, as stated in the episode, I’m simply showing the world how I do the trick and what I like to call it. Much respect to blackbird fpv he is one of the best

@@captainvanover easy fella, "as Steve Irwin would say" you're a wild one! Honestly, I was just giving you a hard time Vanover, lol.

I want to go outside and try it right now but then I remember I’ve been flying for 2 months 🤦🏻‍♂️ 🤣🤣

[@Richocet83]

Check prop orientation at 1:07 (secret to the Vanny Roll) ;)

[@camji9370]

lol nice tip

[@gatticusfpv3174]

Really wish Vanny was rocking a higher cam angle for this. I have no doubt I can do it at low angles but with high angles its a little tricky to keep your momentum going when you flip around because any throttle at that point will accelerate you in the opposite direction. With a low angle a lot more of your thrust vector is pointing downwards for maintaining altitude and less so behind you to go forward thus its really not that hard of a trick if you have good throttle control. Would have been way more impressed to see this done well at 60 degrees.

[@spartan-fpv6936]

Gday you two trouble maker's, nice job guys Alex you need a chill pill and learn to be more like Drew, relaxed!! Greetings from oz 👍🛸

[@colbiecallister2307]
