 What's up guys welcome to Rotor Riot today. We're here with little stellar fox and we're gonna teach her a new trick that she has Not yet done today. We're gonna learn how to do the Rubik's Cube I know this is a trick a lot of people know how to do but I've never really tried it So we're gonna do a little bit of flippin and dip in and flopping and Flopping that's If you think of a Rubik's Cube, it's like turn this thing turn that thing so it's like Flip it but then do a different axis and then do the other axis again So how I do them is a half a front flip and then a full roll back to where you were Okay, we're gonna start with just doing the half front flip don't worry about doing the whole thing yet Just do that and finish it so like half front flip finish the front flip work your way up to it That's how kind of how I learned everything if you do it piece by piece It'll be easier because once you get to that upside down phase. It feels like oh man, I'm gonna I'm gonna crash I don't have enough time to hit the ground the more you can do the first part without even thinking about it Then you'll have more time to think about the other parts. Awesome. Yeah, that's how I learned how to play songs on the piano I do a little bit and I get it up down my way and then I start another new piece after that's like ingrained. Yeah Just the half a front flip And do it to where like there's nothing in front of you for a little ways So a little bit less a little bit less sky a little less guy. Yeah Like that. Okay a couple more of those to where you feel like you can catch it in the same spot every time Too much that's perfect. That was a good one All right, looks like you got there. Do you want to try a roll now? I would go up even a little higher You're gonna fall quite a bit once you get there just try to do a full roll full roll And you see on that like you started off seeing a little more sky. So okay That was it the only thing you would have needed to do is catch the rest of the front flip at the right time We just keep doing this a few times That was good. Did you see what I mean? It's more wonky when there's more sky to it. Yeah. Yeah getting those nice crisp edges That's a good one. All right, I got rid of it I'm I'm moist You're like 90% they're already hey as dumb as it sounds I think I'm gonna try to do a pinching instead. I have problems reaching with my thumb. Yeah, but when I pinch I don't have that maybe I'll try it the other grip style and see if that work So there's a reason why I'm telling Jamie when she does that first half a flip not to put the horizon in the middle Because if you have 50% sky and then 50% ground you have to remember the tilt that you have on your GoPro So really once you flip that over you're gonna lose that relationship and now you're gonna have a lot more sky than you do ground So if you start off by having a little bit more ground than sky as you do that roll It's gonna maintain a closer ratio of both if you have to lean one way or the other I think it's better to lean towards seeing the ground more because it's just a more interesting thing to see spinning around in The sky so if you really blew the trick completely and you didn't get anywhere near You know seeing totally backwards and you're looking down you could still salvage that and that looks interesting at least like popping up And looking straight down at the ground and doing a roll That's appealing, but if you were to look straight up at the sky and do a roll There's nothing to there's no reference. You almost can't tell that you're doing a roll. It just doesn't look as good. So Definitely, I would say favor the ground more than the sky. Do you want to do a demo? Then we should do it. Yeah, I'll do some demo. Are you ready? I'm ready Right out the gate. You're almost there. You've done everything but that last part. Yeah, the last little Don't definitely don't they look better even if you were like only this much it would still look cool Yeah, there's something more interesting spinning around Basically, it's just any combination of three quick move like up in the air like that Like that. Okay, but the other way like Vic does all the time. He kind of made it popular That's where it gets cool like you can do it like do gaps or something if you're here Yeah, no, I've seen him do that I just I guess I didn't because I'm not good with the names I guess I didn't realize that they're all Rubik's cubes when it's like the combination like that Well, I think the internet would probably say one thing is a Rubik's cube overnight Probably I don't know which they would say though. I think there will probably be very differing opinions if it can be variable Another thing that I personally kind of like to do is the last half a roll I do it slow So like not that slow but slower. No, it makes it like more dramatic You're in the top of that We got a stick we got a stick we'll get it I got my quad back just do exactly what I did except for that last little tree bit just do exact So you got to try to do the complete one this time Pretty cool that too to try to remember on the last part to do a front flip instead of back flip. Oh, yeah So I have that pullover. Yeah Roll front flip That was back and then have more ground in view on your half front clip There it is front front front Oh That's the tricky part is you're like thinking about when to stop but you're upside down Right now. Oh, that's too late It's a little tricky. I think you're gonna get it. It's just gonna take some practice Give me a long time to think about in a short amount of time. Definitely easier with arms than with pinching And realistically it'd be better to do nothing but half a front flip and then finish the front flip So that that part's completely out of the equation because you weren't not even you weren't nailing that part every time And then messing up on the later parts you like were a little inconsistent on the very first part Yeah, the weird thing is like the first half you don't actually do a full front flip because like Jefferson You want to look a little bit more at the ground. So it's like three quarters of a front We're like a third of her but then to finish you need to go extra to compensate. Yeah So it's like one third and two thirds because it's not quite half Sounds angry Angry crops when I turn them like this if they aren't level once too high So I just make sure that they're level learn all kinds of stuff today How to get stuck in trees how to fix your props. Yeah, we're gonna get that Do a couple of these do a half a front flip and then finish the front flip For a second and then finish. Yeah, do that like three or four times Yeah, that part perfectly. I just hold it like hold it hold it hold it hold it Super long No, no Longer. Yeah, you're used to the fear. This is talking you right into the ground more more more more now Yeah, there you go. There you go Front flip Yeah, that worked great Yeah Got me used to like the hang time Yeah, because the roll forces you to hang out longer because they're adding a step So you just got to not be afraid of that pavement Front flip. Oh, now you're doing it every time. I think they actually look sweet when you do it slower like that Yeah, that's sick. Okay now take it through a gap With the same It's just gonna take a couple more packs you said you did it for months without getting them clean enough that you were happy with them So I mean, it takes time. Yeah, that's awesome. I feel really good about that Like I'm definitely gonna be incorporating that into things now like I understand Well, I think it's about like finding what the pinch point is and for you it was getting over the block of Doing the second front flip second half front flip. So doing that once you solve that one missing piece Because you had the first front flip you had the roll It was just that last little piece and once you got it then you did you did the right move every single time for sure though The hang time definitely made a huge difference like getting the feel of where it was gonna be without adding the roll in Yeah, like you were saying giving it that distance and you pushing to push it further than I wanted to go Put me out of that area that was scary to begin with so that I could get over the front flip part because like We're talking about being able to see the ground in the back flip is safe Yeah, but going forward all you see is the sky Yeah, and if you're going slow like you were telling and saying that it looks the best That's super scary because you don't know when you come back down where the ground is getting used to hangtime is Is like an issue in itself And actually we have a video dedicated to just practicing hangtime Check the link in the description to that where I teach one of our friends Paul Who's even newer to flying drones and Jamie how to get used to the idea of just being upside down in the air It's a real concept like Jamie you'd already gotten really comfortable with hang time But just need to get even more so to then save the manoeuvres in there Yeah, right because hanging is a lot different than throwing three different movements But like hang time it's like you don't think of it as a trick But it is it's a trick that is a building block for yeah all the things you need to be comfortable hang time If you want to do an inverted yaw spin or Rubik's Cube or whatever so that's gonna do it for today's episode I hope you'll learn something with Jaboi vortex and little stellar Fox here Maybe you guys could post a link down in the comments with your Rubik's cubes And if you have any tips that we missed out on let us know and then help other people do tricks Definitely tag me in any of your videos Have you tried to do the Rubik's Cube after watching this one make it happen captain
