 Hey guys, welcome to Rotorite. I'm Lijerab, and I'm joined today by Cricket FPV. Cricket has made a name for himself with his signature move, just the backwards dive. Now I want to learn a little bit more about it. So a backwards dive is pretty much going to be a completely blind dive. So instead of your traditional dive where you're coming down head first, you're going to be coming down butt first. Little things that I have, ideas, tricks, and tips that I want to give you so that you can get it a little better or learn how to do it from a beginning stance. I want to learn a little bit more. I mean, I can do it, I can do it, but I think it's about some time with the master. I'm going to get all in there and do this. So to get started, let's start in kind of a controlled safe environment. We're going to head down to our warehouse, get a micro brushless drone, which has enough power to do some of these moves, but you know, it's going to be so much of an impact if you crash. And I kind of feel like this is a move that you have to crash a lot to learn. No, no crashes needed. We'll see. Talk me through the whole process. So we're going to roll up to the to the wall street, which I call the backboard. We're going to get right to the wall, pitch back, fall through as you're falling through, waiting till you see the object pass and then throw it back. So I'm just going to do one race as you can see. So just one of those and coming back, just using the wall as your reference. And that's why they're easier to do one stuff like this. So you're just going to creep up to it, get it in your vision and then. What are the specific stick movements? So as you throw yourself, you're going to pitch back and get yourself vertical and cut throttle completely until you see yourself go through it. So we're going to roll up to the backboard, pitch back, roll out. What we're working with today, though, is just like a really narrow hole in top of a roof. So like, how do you? Well, this was difficult because you just have to know that you're going to have to come out on an angle from whichever way you drop. You know what I mean? I need to watch you do it. All right. So why'd you bail out of that one? Because I was too far past it. This is actually a really hard one. You knew that you were too far past it. Like, what was your reference for that? Oh, I'm just doing it a lot, to be honest, man. Like, you just have to crash a lot to get good to this. Well, no, but you see how it's like not roof level. Like, usually it would be like right here. So you just hit it. This one, you have to gauge how far you have to come in to actually hit it. You know what I mean? You get a look at it. Oh, oh, oh, oh, OK. I was trying it. Well, if there was a hole behind this, it would have just been. Well, why is it so difficult while you're watching? I did it first try. I feel like something to take from this trick tutorial is that, first off, if you're going to do this, definitely have turtle mode. If you're going to land on a roof where you're probably not going to be able to climb or access your drone. Second off, it's probably not something you're going to be able to do first attempt, repetitively, because, you know, you're going blind into it. And that's kind of the same thing with all blind techniques. And I guess the third thing is don't be afraid to commit to it, because if you're worried about it, you're not going to be able to do it. So you're basically doing what he's doing, which is just being ready to break all your stuff or lose your quad. You just have to have that confidence to do it. Like you just have to, OK, I need to throw it about this much. Get as much of a visual as you're coming over it before you do this. Yeah, that's why I was saying it's easier with the wall behind you because they even know where that wall is, where this is in the middle of a roof, right? No perspective of where you see it come out, though. Like once you get out of it, once you do it, it's just come back. This is a very difficult one. I'm glad I got it the first time. So I have to do it again. Actually, OK, here's my other idea. Is could I use this whole length wise? Yeah, he definitely just the harder. Is it harder because I think I can use what I can warm up with just doing like that and then coming back. OK, so that I just kind of drop through. Yeah. OK, that makes sense. I didn't think now I can I can really look up. Oh, that catch is weird. It catches you get a lot less travel than you think you do. All right, I'm going to try it proper. Try it proper. Here we go. Solar flare. Dude, I don't know if I can do this gap. It's really hard. There's no reference point. So it's all just about doing it enough time so that you kind of like get used to it and get lucky. Kind of. Oh, OK, that was weird. It's just an unusual motion. Like that should not even. There it is. Oh, like, huh. It is really weird. OK, you've got to give it a little back like that. You've got to give it a little lift. Arrest my four momentum. So it's like up, but there it is. Oh, that blip is what I was missing. You just got to blip. OK, OK, OK, OK. I'm going to like dive a few times first, trying to like get a mental help my situational awareness. Yeah, that is a smart move. Like spend some time doing tricks that you know you can do so you just like know the space. That's a good idea. OK, you're doing what I was doing. You're going past it and hitting the roof. Give it that little blip. Look up and blip it. Blip it. Oh, there it is. I truly think it's a luck trick. I think you basically have to get really lucky to do it. But I think if you can get that situational awareness of where you are, you can do it repetitively. No, I did three in a row. It just I thought it was never going to be a luck. And then all of a sudden I did my first one. And I knew what it looked like. I knew what it looked like before. I knew what it looked like after as I was doing it. And they weren't all like really good solid nose up dives. But like he said he has a couple more attempts to keep trying it and doing it and doing it. And once you get a couple under your belt, it just makes you that much more confident when you run. They ride off things as luck, but there's another element is persistence. And that's not necessarily bad. Like I was thinking like about skateboarders when they want to do some handrail tricks. It took over and over and over. They're pulling busteries a thousand times. Stand over to tilt it. That was it. So I'm gonna think about crashing in tall places. I always carry my stick. Fly softly, but carry a big stick. That was a Sherpu said that.
