Learning to trippy spin // 3 hrs and 97 attempts

[@AE0NFPV]

Massive respect for actually going through the whole process Bardwell, it's important for people to find their own comfortable way of doing it!

[@katchou1337]

amen

[@hultaelit]

Ending camera angle is pure genius. Well done and good video concept!

[@adrianglessner5979]

I really appreciate you posting videos of you learning/struggling with something. As a new pilot I often get discouraged. This shows me the best even go through a learning process. Please keep doing what you do.

[@GregSupe]

Goodness this move is hard! I probably have less than 30 attempts at it and I pulled it off with ease in the sim which really didn't do anything in helping me improve in real life. Thanks for this Joshua, you reminded me that we are all human and if we wish to get better at something we need to keep working on it. 💪

[@GhostBranchFPV]

Kudos! Well done, Joshua! :) It's a very hard challenge because of the other tree's close proximity and being quite close to the ground, but you did it! Now I am awaiting your challenge in return! :) Whatever it may be, might take me a while because I usually don't fly in Winter, but whatever it will be, challenge accepted, JB! :D

[@volkergoe]

Excellent video - I definitely want to see more of this irresponsible droning!

[@MadDragon75]

You picked the one trick I haven't even attempted but would love to learn. The beginning of this is what I anticipated. This is greatly appreciated JB.

[@mattlago]

REALLY enjoyed watching someone with your ability struggle a little. Gives me hope. Also, best wrap up video angle ever done.

[@sdover0123]

So glad you shared all of the effort that it takes to make a little progress on new things in the hobby!

[@LumpyFPV]

Hell yeah JB! 🤘🏼😤🤘🏼 This is my favorite part of FPV - the journey to the trick. The wins are always the best after a gnarly struggle. ❤️‍🔥

[@hapsti]

the way he was talking to the quad in the tree was funny af

[@feelfreefpv]

This is great! I am about at this stage too, trying to wrap my head around the coordination of thrust, pitch, roll and yaw both in theory and getting a feel for it.

[@jandomingo9806]

I have my angle at 15/20 degree so i can trippy, matty and backwards flying. Backwards flying is hard ifur angle is too high. U can also powerloop into a trippy. Throttle needs to be alittle higher for low camera angles which make it seem harder.

[@Bojanevski]

That ending camera angle! 🔥

[@0superhomem]

Great video. As someone just learning about FPV and considering buying their first drone, getting a sense of this process got me really excited. This looked like a blast.

[@brendand.2269]

Love this, it could be a series. Maybe guest pilots with their signature tricks also would be really cool

[@Tokyo_Dom]

Camera uptilt and horizontal FOV is what makes it easier. Do a cradle around the tree to lock in and the push the sticks either away from each other (anticlockwise) or towards each other (clockwise). It's really just flying around the tree backwards in a circle, but at a high angle, so you are going quite fast and need a lot of throttle

[@cpfpv6410]

that last bit about setting a challenge to achieve is a life lesson

[@MeepMerpDerp]

6:50 sure we get to watch you crash 1000 times, but I appreciate this video. As a guy just starting out and still not entirely feeling in control, even with the basics, I appreciate seeing this type of content because it shows that I’m not the only one struggling to learn something new.

[@MysteryD]

3 years in and I'm still learning. Best of luck to you. You only get better but evidently a ceiling does not exist.

[@MeepMerpDerp]

@@MysteryD thanks man, I appreciate that. I’m planning on doing a list of things I want to learn and get better at confidentially. Just keep practicing it and drilling it into my head. Just gotta take it one step at a time

[@AKtoTok]

Nice! Definitely best to practice this in sim before real life, not an easy trick. Super in-depth showing the process, cool to see your progress. I always have to practice a few to get them clean as I change my tilt all the time depending on how Im flying. Getting them, just keep that roll and throttle pinned 🙌🤙props for doing them so low!!

[@tonypena1]

Thanks , another GREAT Video. Im Learning alot from this CHANNEL

[@RCDUDEFPV]

JB, keeping it real from the start, Happy Holidays

[@by.phillip]

Love this video! 2 tricks that I struggle with is the Trippy spin & Matty flip! I usually stop because the quad takes a beating especially the TBS immortal antenna!

[@odyss160]

I can do it in the Sim and it's weird to transition into it but you remember how you said you can turn a corner with pitch only if the quads 9n is side and at an angle? Use that to center you object to orbit and use that to slowly invert. It hurts the brain less to grasp. I've done it at 20⁰ and 50⁰ uptilt and both ways results the same stick input. My throttle is 80 to 100% with a smidge of yaw to the right if I'm orbiting left(counterclockwise) my pitch and roll stick is 55% pitched up and roughly 60% rolled right for a counterclockwise orbit. Slowly play in that area and if clockwiseorbit it's mirrored to the left. To gain hight and to get closer to the object pitch up a little and slight lower it under 50% to drop down some and slightly back off the orbit. This is what works for me and it's the way to you orbit the quad with pitch instead of roll is what works to transition into invert. Master this and then do a rewind into an 8nverted orbit

[@Javiercav]

O really like this kind of video, help a lot to see the process from the start and how with every try you improve the moves.

[@rcaddict9558]

Joshua, your like my mentor from another world! I did my first backflip and almost wet my pants with joy the other day, hehe! Seriously, thanks your a diamond geezer and i learn so much! vertical and spin round a tree, insane!

[@off-grideverything533]

Awesome job! Glad to see I'm not the only one who shoots past, and leans back to enter the spin. Almost everyone else I saw in IGOW, would yaw spin into it, like you tried at the beginning

[@Mr18031967]

i also lean back to enter in to the trick the other way felt to messy

[@wootsman]

NGL, this is a great video. I'm happy you figured it out. But, it's good to show this process so that we all know that this is normal when learning. It's going to giver more people motivation to see this and make them want to learn a new trick or something like that.

[@gokartmozart9430]

We don’t have many bandos in SoCal but we do have lots of palm trees, which has to be the easiest thing to trippy spin!

[@HarleyAssi]

+1 for showing it takes a hundred tries to matter a new trick even to you +1 virtual kudos for using the tree landing for your outro

[@MCsCreations]

Awesome flying, Joshua! 😃 Thanks a lot for all the tips!!! Happy new year! And stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@Mr18031967]

its always about getting the picture in your goggles when i was learning them i strugled with getting the power on right once you get it its a great trick your almost there there is also no wrong or right way its what feels right for you the last one was bang on great video

[@mootine2007]

Really enjoyed watching this video. Always wondered how this trick was done.

[@ChristKrew-Rev1.8]

Hahahah... that is so awesome... giving me hope JB!

[@xrxfpv1994]

Nice Josh! I haven't completely conquered it where I can work it into my lines yet but the SIM has helped me astronomically! (I must admit my love for UnCrashed :)

[@shearfury147]

How you approach is unique to each pilot. Ive been approaching from the right and orbiting counter clockwise. Idk. Im still learning. My prob is gaining altitude to fast.

[@kedrickperkins331]

That was a fun video. A trick I’ve been thinking about myself. And it was reminiscent of just being out in the field and flying with friends

[@KOrnhOliO1]

Yeah, something a little harder to do in winter and a pandemic! :(

[@josefdahari]

This was great I can literally feel and relate to the exact frustration in this video. This was amazing to watch. #NeverSurrender!

[@devinszopinski9805]

Man I be finding you everywhere. 😂

[@josefdahari]

@@devinszopinski9805 I'm all over the place baby!!!!

[@domitakes]

that ending HAHAHAHA it will be very philosophical if you end every video like this. 10/10

[@sunsetpark_fpv]

LMFAO @ 8:13 - that shirt....some kind of gang tag....😂 Awesome work on the trippy spin. Would practicing on Liftoff have helped at all?

[@simonced]

Great video, nice concept and execution.

[@trajanfpv]

I like the shoulder roll entry. I also fly with 15 degrees up-tilt like a masochist, it requires so much throttle at that camera angle!

[@yyin88]

Deep respect to you and those who can do these tricks! Could you maybe set up a gopro or any camera pointing to the general area of the tree that you do trippy spin at? Just to get an idea how the quad should actually orbit around it. It's a bit too much to ask i know😅😅 thank you Joshua～～

[@rmdcade1717]

"Great video idea, Bardwell. Watch you crash a thousand times." You're goddamned right. This is the material we need.

[@the_darkside_fpv]

Atta boy Joshua. This is definitely one trick I haven’t completely mastered. I can do it one time and not the next. I guess I’ll get there eventually lol.

[@MadVultureFPV]

Nice! You’ve motivated me to practise this trick, would be nice to have the stick cam on this one

[@JoshuaBardwell]

I left the stick cam off because the move is complex enough I didn't think it would be super helpful. I think you just have to feel it out.

[@MadVultureFPV]

@@JoshuaBardwell yeap! The move is really weird and need to add much more throttle that I thought at my first try

[@JoshuaBardwell]

Right. And that depends on your camera uptilt and quad weight, so you can't assume yours is the same as mine. So I just wanna show how I felt it out in case it's helpful.

[@MadVultureFPV]

@@JoshuaBardwell yeapppp thanks 🤘🚀

[@Mr18031967]

@@JoshuaBardwell right its one of them tricks that different for every body

[@kardady]

thanks, JB

[@bluefpv3263]

i finally did it myself i did the 97 attempts in sim tho and it took me like 5 trys to do it for real after the hard part is to get into it im now trying to do it the otherway round ^^ i think the spot makes a really big difference you want a very high tree with like 10m space around it finding that is hard tho pine trees are best cause they dont have much scraggle on the lower parts

[@RCRitterFPV]

I dunno, I spent a few packs trying... using a light in parking lot... I could get maybe half... I figure i'm missing something obvious. although... I'm not really that big a fan of them. will try again now after watching you go through this.

[@travisSimon365]

Your birdhouse would be great for practicing trippy spins. Also, I use throttle to maintain height (and not angle). And yes, you do have to throttle up a bit to maintain height.

[@MrSmithFPV]

Great episode. Would be good to see your stick movements. But maybe next time. 😊🍻

[@SunriseWaterMedia]

"It didn't hit you, it landed on you." 😂

[@flyineyeaerialfpv5592]

So easy to triply spin in liftoff and other sims lol...Ill take this video as my Q to try it with my skyeliner HD..I want to buy a smaller quad to beat on...with turtle mode of course... Also and just a running joke here i picked up on reading comments over the last 2 years...Bardwell if you would leave your yard there might be a single pole or tree that is better to practice that trippy spin lol....." I just wish that tree wasnt there"...next video the tree that was in the way will be cut down instead of Bardwell just going to another location hahaha lol...Awesome video Joshua! 😉🤓

[@JoshuaBardwell]

I was tempted to go to a parking lot with a light post but I figured that would make it too easy and I would just try to rise to the challenge.

[@JooorgeMT]

(I)Responsible droning sounds like a great Tshirt idea

[@jaimetrejogallegos4829]

Thanks for sharing your suffering learning the trippy spin, I'm suffering just like you hahaha, many prop packs are dying for the trick!

[@xDownSetx]

6:50 You jest, but I don't fly with anybody, so this extremely helpful to see your thought process as you learn a trick!

[@krystoffpv9328]

you inspired me to pick and learn another freestyle maneuver , not the trippy spin ,not there yet lol , thanks for another great video

[@DaveyFPV]

You've might have managed the trippy spin, a feat in itself, but can you do the George Foreman Grill? A matty-trippy combo devised by the trippy spin master himself, Jacuzzi Jay.

[@iclc96]

If only I could subscribe again. That outro was too funny.

[@fpvplayground2449]

I absolutely loved the way you ended the video 😂.

[@wesley4713]

I think watching you suffer gave me the motivation to learn something today. Thanks for all the great videos... now where is that soldering one I came here to watch so I can fix my quad. Cheers XD

[@avasianfpv]

Everytime I have a question in my mind, it is as if bardwell can read my mind and make the video the day after…

[@IconicProps]

Try entering with a woop de doo look back. Thats the easiest way I found to get into it. Good stuff man.

[@h2o-fpv623]

Great video JB thank u.

[@andrewut7ya511]

Cool trick. Id like to learn this but im not gonna put myself through this till next summer lol

[@visualdosage234]

currently trying this with a tinywhoop, with some tape stuck from the ceiling to the floor as the obstacle, that way if i crash in to it nothing breaks

[@nycfpv]

I’m not a very good pilot, but for some reason this is the easiest trick for me to do, and it just came naturally.

[@BIRDYFPV130]

The fun though practicing!!!

[@xymaryai8283]

37.5° cam, going in with only yaw is the way i consistently do it in the sim. i have a nice new Rekon 4 FR i will eventually try it with but thats gonna be a long way away heh

[@robaxelsson530]

Looks like u put that quad through its paces.. AND it did survive.. To give it a “TONKA” standing, send it to Ciotti.. if I lives through him.. I will EASILY buy one!!!😂😂

[@BROK3N1MAGE]

This is awesome Bardwell 👌. Great job! Hey. I've tried trippy spins in the liftoff sim quite a few times. How does the sim compare to real life?

[@Stankycreekbmx]

Well lookie there you can teach an old dog new tricks! Lol it’s a lot cheaper to learn them in the sim first. Well done sir!

[@jackjohnson5024]

I find it much easier to yaw 180° to enter into it so you're facing at the same pitch as flying forward but just backwards

[@filiped7298]

Disappointed that we didn’t saw the drone rescue in action 😁

[@zlachannel8674]

08:17,,,🤣🤣,,,more jokes it is cheers up my office days,,tq mr hosua

[@Barks_Bridge_Dog_Training]

Challenge on! Come on guys lets learn together, upload your attempts in the discord server :) *Pitch up nearly vertical then roll and yaw in counter directions. Throttle up over half way...Use pitch to control the drift.* Lets gooo!

[@MysteryD]

I keep seeing that Speedybee adapter. Am I the only one using just a wire from my phone to the FC USB port? I find it easier than needing to connect to a wifi signal every time just to make some changes.

[@JoshuaBardwell]

I test this in the speedybee review video and yeah it works for some phones but not for others.

[@djilly75]

Hell yeah you got it

[@razorfpv]

Or my thinking orbit an krain arm and i must fly to the tip like an sideways loop but around an obiekt

[@drewgotit3569]

Joshua, are your goggles v1 or v2? I'm curious because I know they use their antennas differently. I got the v2s, where should I put the patch antennas? Top ? bottom?

[@RubyS.1]

Nice work it's not easy for sure Jaybfotography does the most technical trippyspins like through tree branches and stuff idk it's crazy. The whole thing hurts my brain

[@ascosis]

Yeah, his trippy spins are next level. He'll even throw in a reverse and string them together through multiple trees.

[@JoryFPV]

Practice on a very tall object in the sim first to learn the stick coordination without having to worry about throttle control as much. Small mistakes while trippy spinning will result in gaining or losing altitude, and practicing on something so low is very unforgiving since you don't have much altitude to lose before crashing. Having lots of time to correct will help build the muscle memory needed much faster. What you were attempting isn't easy, and you made a lot of progress despite that. I'd say you're 85% of the way there even if it doesn't seem like it.
