 What's up guys? Welcome to Rotorite. My name is Alex. I'm here with Drew. Hey guys And today we're gonna be doing a trick tutorial that I've been wanting to do for a very long time a lot of you who follow Me know I have this kind of weird trick where I sling backwards and then do a quick roll low to the ground It's like a fakie slow roll right a fakie slow roll We've been trying to come up with a name for it for the longest time now And we were in the car last night and we decided we should call it the Vanny roll I was kidding about that. No, I wasn't though. It kind it was catchy to me So I like it. We're gonna go with the Vanny roll the Vanny roll Vanny roll So we're really showing you guys today how to do a Vanny roll So if you don't know what a Vanny roll is pretend that the hood of Drew's truck is the ground So what we're doing is we're flying my hood. I'm Come on. I only hit your car once coming the car This is the ground we're taking the quad like this we're flying along the ground coming out of whatever trick We're doing we're gonna yaw backwards like this Shut up You're gonna yaw backwards just like this so you're still going backwards like this And then you do a roll the whole goal to make it look like a Vanny rolls when you exit the roll You are literally skimming the ground going backwards. I'll give you this is one of the tricks that when you do it It's not about the trick itself because I can very comfortably fly backwards and do a roll But when you do it, it's got this certain style to it where you I don't know How you roll so slow and don't hit the ground while going backwards. It's all about energy management and timing So you have to get enough energy going backwards when you start the tricks You have to set yourself up for the actual roll properly when you do that then it's all about timing the roll I use very low rate So I am at no, you know, I have no choice but to basically slam the stick and so for me That's actually helped a lot the same almost every what are your rates if you use beta flight All I do is take my super eight drop it to point six and then take my expo on a roll pitch And you know, I'm putting it point three those the rates I use and that's the rates I'm gonna be using and also I just like those rates in general right But then there's a trade-off because if you want to do those really fast snappy things you lose the ability to do that And you don't do that, right? And you'll see I'll do a few different combinations of annuals today where I'm going backwards I just do one roll and then you've seen another one where I go backwards I do one roll and then I do the roll the opposite way and it's just all about timing and we're gonna show You guys how to do that today So we are flying the HD one frame we have the hype train Your motors on here the best motors because mine are out of stock is it of course the DJI System as you can see here, so we get that prime HD experience which actually looks really cool when you're doing these tricks is you can get low to the ground You can see all the specks of grass and everything it really helps gives you that extra confidence level when you're doing a backwards trick Or something to like no, okay, there's the ground. It's not static. It's not like I can't see it You can see everything so speaking of the system something I've been going back and forth on is 16 by 9 or 4 by 3 what do you prefer and like do you think it affects, you know this trick? Oh, that's a good question. I prefer 16 by 9. I like the really big field of view the DJI camera is a 4 by 3 camera Okay, and so when you set the when you set the goggles to display in 16 by 9 It just crops the top and bottom so you do lose a little bit of that vertical field of view Okay, so that's been the reason that I've stayed away from it Just because I feel like I want to be able to see as much as possible but then you don't it's not as immersive because it's not as wide and When I've actually flown other people set ups in 16 by 9 and I'm kind of like in it So I just didn't know where you were at like 69. I don't think it gives an advantage or disadvantage It's kind of like flying normal FPV goggles What if you can do this trick on the 16 by 9 with the crop then I don't know you can't really argue against it Cuz like absolutely. It's just the settings that I prefer. It's really immersive And I just kind of like that big with HD. I want to see everything I feel like it's more much more immersive with the bigger field of view and everything or feels like a bigger field of view rather So yeah, it's a separate line See this makes me like the 16 by 9. Oh First try dude these type of tricks that are like really timing base. I always kind of have to be warmed up That oh, oh, oh It's all about timing getting kind of warmed up That was I feel like you do it even slower sometimes though. Are these your rates? Yeah, these are my rates I'm not even hitting full stick yet coming in hot with a stick can yeah, and it's all about that was it Oh my gosh, what I'm listening for is what do you do a throttle right before you? Yeah, so it's kind of just trying to think a little bit about it So yaw backwards and then quick. Yeah, it's just a quick little bit. You can hear it. So quick blip Depending on how much rate you use will depend on how much throttle you to get if you have really low rate You have to give it more throttle So make sure that you don't hit the ground at the end of the trick. Mm-hmm You have really fast rates You don't need that one thing that I didn't really talk too much about what you're describing the trick is if your quad is not Super well tuned you can fly into prop wash very easily Mm-hmm You almost kind of just want to float do something that flows into the trick or exit the trick into another trick So let me kind of show you what I mean with that so and see I kind of flow into something else Yeah, really like obviously just trying to fly out of prop wash is what I'm trying to do I feel like you always do it in a more open area. What about doing it through something? So I feel like you've got good run-up if you come this way and then you could actually hit between those two trees So like you go yeah come past the truck yaw backwards. Yeah, let's do it I want to see it because I don't know if I've seen you really do it proxy Oh, I've done it proxy through things not as much though I don't know if I ever posted a video me doing it proxy because it's Something I'm still trying to master a little bit. So we'll do a little bit proxy So we're flying oh That was sick lower though lower lower lower. Oh I hate you. You shouldn't be able to do that first try. What? There we go That was another kind of way to enter a vany roll that I didn't talk too much about we were talking about how we Kind of go backwards into it like this and then do the roll One of the other ways I do the roll is like a little bit of a Rubik's Cube combination So here we go. So we're gonna front flip like this. We're skimming low. Oh, I like that. So let's try and do that Yeah, I do that one through the trees. This is gonna be a bit trickier It's a bit Trickier to do. I think I don't like as much when you you're like rolling and then you end up going forward again You know what I mean rather than flowing out of it, right? You know I'm saying so like that one you just roll back and forth until you start to go whoa Like that I like that way more where you do a y'all flow out of it I think when I see you do you kind of come to a stop and then start going forward I don't like it as much. It kind of takes me out of that. I agree It's again, it takes it takes you know time you're gonna mess it up a few times But if you know how to recover from it, then you're good. Let's try to go through a bit tighter of a gap Let's try let's try and go through this really tight gap and do it here comes the crash That was cool. I like yeah, I get what you're saying where you basically flown in the next trick Can you saw me do that kind of an open space where I'd yaw into the next yeah in the open field? You were always doing you'd come out of it and then just The next and you guys have been flying for a while if you go out and try this you will probably do the trick your first day Trying it. Yeah, but it's not gonna look as good as what he's doing. I love that trick It's just so much fun slinging yourself backwards really quick and I can't do it the way you do I want to point over is from the man himself. Let's go get the quad. Let's see a drussof take a turn at it Oh, I didn't even hear the other beeps the flight controllers dead. Here we go. We're taking a stick We are going to fix quad with nature as our friend Oh, she did yeah, well, I'm going to anyway. Yeah, dude. What are these settings man? It's fine This is what Johnny does. This is how Johnny so good working white, but why bother? Because it makes it look better. I think how much more primed that looks gonna be overexposed No, it's not gonna be overexposed. It's gonna have that sweet motion blur make you look juicy I don't I'm doing I think master flow did 16k on drew side and art of flow did 41k. Did it really get 41k? This one let me tell you okay We were talking about video titles because because like the kind of the very confident titles were all the rage And I'm like, ooh, I've got my perfect house can be master of flow and Alex is like, oh, I'm gonna use that Don't you take my had the video take my title and he last many is like art of flow No, you posted your video first the moment I saw him post his video. I posted my video titled the art of flow I'm like, which one's gonna do better. It was very blessed. I did 41k. Thanks to you guys Because it was good video yours is great, too. No, it was okay. No, you're being very nice It was not my best video. It wasn't it was kind of a waste of a good title But I just really wanted to use that title. You don't want me. Yeah before it looks kind of like Yeah, I was I liked it that you took that title for me because Oh It's cool is this is four by three. Yeah, so you see what I see and they see it It's like almost a good comparison. Yeah, you just yarn Like that. That's good. It's so high though. Yours. Just have that Genesee quiet. I don't know what else to say and get more momentum. Yeah, like oh god. Oh god. No, no, no, no, okay I Try and get more backwards momentum going. I think that's a big part of it is you go way faster Well, I enter it faster part. That's kind of just because my racing. I was a good one. Yeah, dude I'm ending so much higher. It just it. They're not as good as yours for sure And so I think you know what it's just a matter of rolling slower Y'all around blip So you're kind of that was almost it. That was almost it. Yeah, you're kind of I don't know how to describe it When you when you're going backwards and you start the role you're almost like really high like nose down if that makes sense Versus you should be almost literally skimming the ground when you're going backwards and then do the roll I'm not trying to like when I get backwards keep it going backwards It's just you you kind of just juicy into it like this So you got a lot of backwards momentum and then you want to do the roll somewhat quickly because when did it happen? Just is you started the roll, but you almost had no momentum and you kind of carried yourself into the ground All right, let me get that quad so I actually feel like I'm learning something here Oh Both of the quads be flew today are not on the stack that we normally fly which is a hot wing stack And to be clear that's the stack that we're not just running for the show Yeah, that's the stack that I run and all my personal rigs for racing. I put a ton of abuse through Yeah, I mean I like trying new things, but then when it catches on fire I'm like and I was going back to the happy wink And that is the stack that is going to be featured in a build video that we have coming out very soon So if you are wanting to see how we put together one of these rotor at HD one quads with the DJI system and everything We're testing all the stuff and blowing this stuff up So you don't have to you don't have to I mean seriously the the things that we're you don't find on the store Yeah, if this stuff is happening We we have a more limited selection right now because we test every single thing Yeah, make sure that we put it through the ringer before we you don't want to sell it to you guys Because we don't want things catching on fire No, not really both of our stuff shorted out today, unfortunately, so we're gonna have to rebuild some quads So we're gonna watch a build video and let's go build some quads and let's get back out here on the field All right, we have fixed our quads. We're back out. I want some more lessons in doing Vanny rolls so what is the problem? It's a good name So I'm glad we ended up having some time it gave me time to think about all the Tips you're telling me. I've kind of been trying to let us sink in Rolling slow. I think is what I'm trying with most. I'm really just trying to force myself to do the slow roll So just y'all around roll slow. Oh, no, I still end up so high You don't really need to use y'all. It's more. I almost don't only use y'all to turn it around Wait, I use y'all when I was rolling. Yeah, that was an action. Yeah. Oh, okay Oh, yes, that is a habit. I have yep, which is nice because you get that you get that Coordinated right and you can do that going backwards because if you don't use y'all then you like you look more at the ground when you y'all So it just depends on how you want to look but if you use a lot of y'all it makes it All right, I'm trying just not do it. So here we go boom I was why I need to enter it and that's so high try entering with more momentum more speed like more faster It's just a bit more speed entering it and then y'all y'all and then roll that was almost there It's so difficult to match someone else's style. You're kind of swinging high. I feel like you almost needed y'all What's ready to I like two straps. What's wrong with this? Look at this When your XC 60 comes I like those with the zip tie your battery goes right here. I like my way. No, I'm not that extra secure I feel extra secure with two straps. You don't want to have to be pop up a whole thing I Think you're not yawing quick enough almost and when you yaw you're going up high and you're slowing down if that makes sense I feel like you need to try and carry the momentum when you do the yaw like that. That was it. Oh That was that was That was really close to what you do not as good. I think but that's just but you got it I mean dang close man. I want to see one more. That was good to watch There you go. You're kind of but you're feeling out what you have to do You know what I'm already kind of feeling like what you what I want to do it now my way You know like I've kind of already seen like how I kind of want to just tweak it a little bit. Yeah, absolutely Like I go I love that trick now. Oh, I'm so psyched on that now It just kind of like clicked with how to keep it lower. Yeah, absolutely That's better. No, I chickened out and had to have to roll to save it You're getting the entry a bit more down. It was all about yaw sooner Whoa That one was almost beautiful. That's like the best ones when you're skimming the ground right coming backwards like that That's the best one where you can see the grass like right You're battery ejected. I feel like I'm really starting to get it, dude So that that help and I do think taking the time even though it was kind of annoying that we had to pause at the time I think it ended up like letting it sink in and I think that's a good tip Like when you're trying to learn something If if you kind of stuck on one thing taking a break is good because it like there's kind of that theory that if you practice something Then you go to sleep you'll wake up better at it You know like your brain has to kind of like yeah, absolutely and watching you know like videos of people doing what I was learning Like the juicy stuff flying. I just watched a lot of Johnny flying I let that sink into where my mind naturally went to that and it was just natural to do it Almost it's it's one of those things don't expect you may get immediately You may not just let it sink in sleep on it in this case for you Entering and so you had enough backwards momentum because what ended up happening is you do the role and you're a soft Yeah, so you entered the one time I told you more momentum and yaw quicker. You had a perfect feel like when you're learning something There's always one piece of a trick that you get stuck up on and I was surprised for me It was I needed to yaw into it faster and I think now what I want to work on getting better at is Do the fast yaw let it ride back for a little longer before I do it then do the roll And then after doing the roll catch it and ride it back again Because what I'm still doing is I do the roll and then as soon as I come out of the roll I instantly like flow yaw into the next thing which is nice Yep, but I think toward the end there. I started to be like, okay after I do that How much longer can I ride it out? And that's what I want to try yeah center of momentum So I'm really happy to do it. Well, okay. We've got got a little bit more golden hour left We're gonna try and fly thank you DJI for sponsoring this episode Yeah guys and be sure to go check out the rotor right store link in the description to the HD ones that we're flying the gear that we're using guys and you know what comment down below what you think this trick should be called I personally like Vanny roll if you're gonna hate on you better have a better name Say hope you guys it's called. It's called the Vanny roll. Go ahead and like share and subscribe guys and we'll catch you on the next one peace The art of flow versus master of flow. I am the master of 16,000 views versus 41,000. I'm higher than that Oh, you know, I'm sure I'm hired to use I can't talk about a stretch because you have more views on your videos than I do But per capita and per like how long I've been doing YouTube cap.
