starwars pod racers irl ?

[Mudslinger]

My wife got me a drone and that led to many trips to the hobby shop . While I was there yesterday a guy told me about FPV racing ... these guys race around 1 ft off the ground at 60 -100 mph its amazing go check it out on youtube . You wear goggles that connect to the camera on your drone and give you a live feed .

cringe dude

Hey man trail riding and mud riding have become expensive hobbies . This fpv drone racing will be a much less expensive pastime .

[miraclegrow2]

are you in the drone or controlling it like a radio controlled car

cause if your not in the drone who gives a fuck, how is that fun?

As close as any of us can realistically get to flying a pod racer

As far as your brain is concerned .... your in it ( you get dizzy as heck when you do barrel rolls ) . You see only what the camera on the quad views as though Iits you hurtling through the air .

Good point!

But what about the rush when you crash your $$$ pride and joy into a pillar in an abandoned warehouse F1 drone track?

I guarantee it's not the same as downhill biking or motocross single track, or insert anything real here.

I am a grown man with a family to provide for I cant throw myself into extreme sports like I used to ..... I have always loved free climbing and bouldering and downhill mtn biking ..... but I cant take the risk of injuring myself and harming my income nowadays .....

Dont get me wrong I still enjoy extreme weather backpacking , hunting , and water sports

[Mudslinger]

And jack the cost of fixing a crashed drone is nothing compared to how much it costs on avg when I break my jeep out trail riding

[JackFlash]

I think the notion that life ends when you are a "grown man" is bullshit. Keep enjoying yourself. Your kids certainly will enjoy themselves. Get some life insurance and call it life.

If the jeep keeps breakin', you're driving bad.

[Tradesonred]

Im planning on using those in protests to circumvent police cordoning off areas so we cant film violent arrests.

Because your jeep is too heavy, and no matter what overpriced suspension you put in it, it will always break because cars and SUVs were designed for roads

if you want to trail ride and off road get a ATV

derp

Wow. This is actually a great idea.

Not just for violent arrests, but also unlawful arrests and aggression/brutality against passive protesters.

Sounds like you are aware of the "Media Zones" the police federal policies use to keep media out of the scene of the action. "GET TO YOUR MEDIA ZONE!!!!" under threat of arrest.

Now we can not worry about fighting for media rights anymore, just fly drones all over the protest....Needs better technology to last 1-2 hours in the sky though right??

I respect that. I pictured some kid making this thread when I read it w/out any context.

The thing is theyll shoot it down with plastic bullets if its big enough but the things are getting smaller all the time. Id really love some 3.0 shit where you can rest the drone on walls and shit like spiderman, maybe with claws of some kind.
