I think you mean that a human used a drone to thread a tire bouncing downhill, let’s not overlook the skill level here

u/kerlious 2d ago

Agreed, that was incredible piloting!

u/Vlad_the_Homeowner 2d ago

Just the kind of thing I'd expect a self-aware drone hellbent on eradicating humans to say! I see you.

I hope human pride catches on.

I’m excited for what we can do with our ever-growing arsenal of tools/knowledge, but the wrong people tend to own the newest most powerful tools/knowledge.

If we can be proud of and unite behind the very quality of being human, maybe shit like racism, sexism, classism, etc. will become less prominent.

I would have missed that when I read it the first time if you didn't add this comment.

Tyre puns never gain much traction here

u/Still_Wrap_2032 2d ago

It’s all downhill from here

u/gregusmeus 2d ago

The tyres missed the ramp so only 6/10. Keep practicing, chaps!

u/Always2ndB3ST 2d ago

It should’ve launched off the ramp and the drone goes through both in midair. That would be CRAZY 🤪

u/CanadianDragonGuy 2d ago

That was the original idea if a tire had hit the ramp but sadly the lineup didn't work and these guys aren't dudeperfect where they'll redo the same thing a million times for the one perfect shot

u/Tossyjames 1d ago

Imagine trying that for a million times.

... All the broken drones of the failed attempts trying to get a perfect shot. (Oh noes. Cynical side taking over me. ) All that for a 10 second clip that peopleseeing it will then be like "Oh that was kinda cool" and carry on scrolling towards doom.

u/hg38 2d ago

I've seen another video where it hits the ramp. Now I want to see the drone pass through as it's flying off the ramp.

u/Sarenai7 2d ago

I see you’ve seen those videos as well, sobering stuff

Ukraine would like to have a word with him.

Just 2 tires rolling free and living their best life.

Is this How Ridiculous?

u/L2Hiku 1d ago

Literally says it in the title. What's your problem. Takes longer to comment this then it does to read like. My God.

u/gscottraw 2d ago

Is that a young Azpilicueta at the end there?

2

u/mkenya4t 1d ago

Dave would have been running alongside the tires and made it to the end before they did.

3

u/christoefur 2d ago

It was only one tire though, he could’ve done much better

3

u/jsparker43 2d ago

It would've been better if he controlled it using farts, a crazy feat nonetheless

2

u/PuzzleheadedRoyal559 2d ago

Wait till they discover online video games.

u/CanadianDragonGuy 2d ago

FPV drones look a damn sight more fun than most flight games I'm gonna be real with you

u/Supreme_Rust 2d ago

The amount of how ridiculous clips that get reuploaded without credit is ridiculous, thank you finally someone gave credit

u/ilikeballoons 2d ago

My 6 year old introduced me to this channel and I kind of love it. It would be 10% as good without the Aussie accents. Scot Gorwnson

u/Deranged_Snow_Goon 1d ago

My spawnlings (aged 5 and 8) love this channel. My wife doesn't get why we whoop and cheer at a car getting smashed by a giant hammer.

u/Theobviouschild11 2d ago

Where is this

u/L2Hiku 1d ago

Oh man. They missed the ramp

Ukrainian Drone Operator Recruiter enters the chat

u/No_Track_6638 2d ago

Amazing skill

1

u/ArrFo 2d ago

Who's the FPV operator? Is it just me or does the exterior of the goggles have a Latvian flag on the left eye?

1

u/MilleniumPelican 2d ago

He's a local New Zealander name of Seth, I believe. He FPV'd their week-or-so's worth of shoots. The man's a legend and an excellent pilot. HR asked him if he could thread that needle, and he was game, but he wanted to wait for the exact right attempt so as not to risk the safety of his drone. He fucking centered it! HR was SO HYPE for him!

EDIT: If you watch the full video, you can see external footage of the drone passing through the tire.

u/Squibbles01 2d ago

Pretty smooth flying, Fox.

Cool ✌️

u/Gravigus 2d ago

this guy could hit a womprat if needed

u/EveAeternam 2d ago

I thought there were two people in those tyres at first, I was like "yup, they're dead" 🥲

u/DefinitelyNotThatOne 2d ago

Okay super impressive, but where's the rest of the video?

Gosh, save some p*ssy for the rest of us

u/Miasmatic_Mouse 1d ago

This is the first time I've seen an FPV drone being flown at something other than humans.

u/MaintenanceTotal6150 1d ago

Who volenteers to go in the tyre

1

u/Old-Tadpole-2869 1d ago

I remember when people used to have sex. It wasn't that long ago.

1

u/Aasuraavirochana2235 1d ago

Imagine sitting quietly somewhere down there and being struck by one of those.

1

u/konexo 1d ago

Does anyone know what drone he's flying?

1

u/AlexL225 1d ago

First the tires miss the jumps. Then the drone flys through a tire, not both tires. Honestly, pretty unimpressive.

1

u/PuzzleheadedYam9800 1d ago

That was awesome

1

u/Yahla 1d ago

They literally took a flying fuck at a rolling donut

u/BadFeisty6728 1d ago

That was epic

u/here4here 1d ago

How ridiculous (pretty sure this from their YouTube channel) they are a good watch!

u/PurahsHero 2d ago

Missed ramp and only did one tyre? 1/10. Rubbish.
