choice flying demo videos for non-initiates?

trickybit · 07-05-2009, 03:56 AM

Hi,

I've put up a couple of web pages to show my heli friends what high-end foosball looks like, and my foosing friends what all the heli noise is about.

I seeded my effort with a couple of more-or-less arbitrary clips from each domain.

If you only could show somebody 2 or 3 videos as examples of the hobby, what choices would you make?

I think we're looking for: a combination of flying styles; HQ video; no login required; good camera, quality and production; and maybe good music, either live or soundtrack.

Thanks in advance!

Jim

One of these two... probably the second one... one of the most stunning heli vids Ive seen.

YouTube - charlie schmidt's "cool cat"

YouTube - Tareq Alsaadi flying his MSH Protos in UAE

Jason Krause's T-rex 500 front yard video is still one of my all time favorites.

Alan Szabo's sunday the lake video is still one of the most impressive videos of all time IMO.

I'll make it simple for you and your friends. Just ask them to type in "gorgin4325" in YouTube and grab some popcorn, and start watching the videos I put up there...

I agree! Is Tareq your friend? You the camera man? Whats his story? His flying is the best I've ever seen.. always stunned.

Do you have any vids of your flying? I do.. but won't share here.. cuz it's REALLY the wrong thread... lol....

Gorgin4325 · 07-06-2009, 03:42 AM

Yes and yes. We live 10-15 minutes away from each other and regularly hang out and fly together.

He is the reason I can fly 3D now! Very helpful guy that never hesitates to give back to the hobby...

G

By far the most impressive video I have ever seen!!!

You can download the entire thing, it's over 90Meg.

Next time we go out flying I'll bring the video camera so you can show all your foosball buddies how a team taco member flies.

Big Fil · 07-06-2009, 02:20 PM

OK who's got the link to the Raptor 90 vid off of the warship. That's a great one IMO to show someone new. Great scenery, great flying, and a good soundtrack while still allowing you to hear the heli.

Slyster · 07-06-2009, 04:39 PM

Yes the WARSHIP video.. I looked and looked for it on YouTube but can't find it.. that one is amazing.
