The END of an ERA / St. Charpu Fpv FreeStyle

For all of you who may not know, Charpu (Carlos Puertolas) was a brave spaniard who reinvented FPV back in 2015 with his video "Left Behind".
Back in the day, drones were not as durable, nor they flew as well as they do today. In fact, even getting them to go on a straight line without wobbleling was an enormous achievenemt. For that reason, we were used to youtube videos flying around trees or big soft fields.
But all of that came to an end when Charpu uploaded "Left Behind", a freestyle edit where it was all about speed, concrete gaps, crazy manouvers and a tone of skills. The video went on to becoming viral and the rest is history.
Now, they are taking down the spot where freestyle trully begun. It's really sad to see it go, but many of us are grateful for what this spot means for fpv. A hobby where it's all about pushing the boundaries of what we thought was possible.
Original Charpu video "Left Behind": • Left Behind -FPV
So yep... this is the end of an era... so it's time to take matter into our own hands and make FPV GREATER than EVER!!

It's crazy to see how much fpv has improved in 8 years. The things that can be pulled off now are pushing human and physical limits.

[@bradn1559]

And in another 8 years.. imagine

[@valzzu]

​@@bradn1559yeee... since digital fov is slowly becoming a thing. Price could be conparable in 8 years

[@TensinghJoshua]

@@bradn1559 I guess AI's will be flying?

[@BOTGRINDER]

[@classGfpv]

RIP The spot... They're tearing down all the bandos. Great way to honor the spot and the pilots who came before.

[@mestafpv]

Una delicia ver el principio que a todos nos enganchó y el final con estos pedazo de vuelos , grande ! To be continued !

[@FilipRadelic]

Well, it's been at the top of my bucket list for over 5 years, guess I can finally take it down 😭 Beautiful tribute to both the place and Charpu himself ❤

[@dan1979able]

[@FPVJesus]

That was truly incredible. Best FPV flying I have ever seen. I felt like I was in the Matrix. Gravity does not apply to you.

[@genericfpv]

you and charpu's brains are wired different to the rest of us..... its beautiful to watch ❤‍🔥

[@hairyhider7478]

Epic spot You should have shot one of the porthole windows.... great flying

[@HoltBlackheathFPV]

Sad news about the bando but outstanding flow as always. What a send off dude. 🙌🙌🙌

[@zerpofpv]

You're paying a great tribute to the saint and the spot. Well done, man.

[@ItsRen_FPV]

man this video made me say out loud wtf 3-4 time !!! good job very nice flying and sad to see this spot go down :(

[@CaptainColin]

Amazing flying. So sad to see that spot go but you have done great to document it for the history of FPV.

[@Krash_fpv]

Literally firing off Mattie flips and tight powerloop gaps faster than I could see surroundings....you must know that spot like back of your hand.....solid flying my guy

[@Nekzuris]

That was insane !

[@mydauphinefilms]

That is truly sad!!! But your flying was and is wpic!!!! Love it and hope that you find sich a good place soon!!!!

[@mydauphinefilms]

I meant epic

[@blitzvinnigFPV]

Maybe make a 3D scan of this legendary spot, so we can at least preserve it in the sim one day...

[@TorontoFPV]

OMG for a sec I thought you were quitting or something! Sad but you ripped it proper! Keep rocking that analog!

[@KrispyFPV_]

MY GOD U ARE A LEGEND!!!!

[@MaicoFpv]

🔥 ❤

[@wakingdreamfpv]

Damn that’s so smooth 🙌🙌🔥🔥

[@TantrickFpv-be6oe]

Soooo smooth man, sorry to see this spot go. We need Uncrashed sim to emulate this one as well!

[@JosephDaulton-sm3ci]

Very nice

[@markfpv22]

INSANE

[@legiadtm]

Your videos at this very particular spot, when it was featured in Rotor Riot’s with Drew and Joshua (and Drew got his mind blown), it really hooked me up and push myself to try to fly in bandos. Now this place will be flattened 😢 almost could feel the emotion on your narrative cut there 😢 but your footages on St. Charpu will be legendary! 🔥

[@damianwyczakowski2491]

Crazy

[@fpvwithpatrick]

Truly did the spot justice for its final rip. Amazing bro 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@docfr3sh]

yo crazy ripping, RIP that spot 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@CaliCoastRCFPV]

AMAZING FLYING!!

[@MANTA_FPV]

Our grandmaster would be proud of you💪🏻 Iconic place indeed!

[@ChomperFPV]

Charpu walked so you could run ! Sad to see it go but man do you do this place justice! Idk anyone else flying it like you that is for sure. Good stuff man

[@jesusortega8927]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🚀🚀🚀🚀🔝🔝🔝

[@Mr.Freestyle.]

Absolutely incredible flying. 🔥🔥🔥

[@patrickeul]

Fire

[@gokuhs]

Esto si que es una despedida Pablo, que pasada de vuelo es increíble. Para mi eres el mas grande Pablo. 🔥

[@Chillin-fpv]

Bro!! Thats a dream spot to fly at. And you killed it. I wish i could fly there. Just wow, so sad they're tearing it down. 😢

[@raphifpv]

incredible! keep it up! :)

[@Bar2Fer]

I like a lot of guys style 👏🏼👌🏼

[@LakayFPV]

Superb man! It is so sad that this was the last flight for this gorgeous bando spot.

[@evilc2048]

If this is what happens when Fenix is going to lose a favorite spot, he needs to lose more :/ You sir, are an ANIMAL. The sequences starting at 0:32 and 1:22 was the craziest shit I ever saw - any one of the tricks in either sequence would make my year.

[@pigmafpv]

N.1🔥🔥🔥

[@MikeBishoptv]

What a way to say farewell to this spot, this edit and flying was insane!

[@headrecdsm]

Left Behind got me into drones years ago. Sad to see the place go. I think you did a great send off and ohmage to the original. Crazy to see how far the average drone pilot skill level has come since the original.

[@renzofpv]

epico como siempre hermano! tremendo flow!!!!

[@FR33Z_FPV]

OMG your skills, and the spot absolutely insane. fenix the king !

[@B4LOoO]

We ❤ what you do Best tribute you could do 🥹

[@Bandit_FPV]

C'est incroyable 👽🥵🔥🔥🔥

[@Eltiomanco]

Alucinante crack ❤❤ sigo viendo tus videos si señor no tienes desperdicio ninguno increible
