DT S1E8: Legendary Moab Canyon

On this season of Drone Trippin, AirVūz Pilots Zoe Stumbaugh, Shaun Taylor, Shelby Voll and Colby Curtola head on the road trip of their lives. The pilots travel through scenic destinations across the western USA with FPV whiz, Trey Player, in a droned-out R.V. to test their skills in quad building, freestyle flow, drone racing, and pilot accuracy. What better way to show off those skills than with some Star Wars challenges? See what ZoeFPV as Chewbacca, Nytfury as Kylo Ren, Shelby Voll as Darth Vader, and SFPV as Obi Wan Kanobe can bring to the table and get the scoop on what these pilots are like once the goggles are off!

The legends are true! AirVūz FPV pilots are dope so they tear up Bum's Canyon in Moab, Utah in this episode of Drone Trippin. Watch the aerial FPV UAV extravaganza that ensues when the pilots fly an epic canyon next to the Colorado River. VIDEO TRANSCRIPT: Speaker 1: This is Drone Trippin'. The canyons of Moab. [inaudible 00:00:11] has become legendary in the city of Moab. Speaker 2: [crosstalk 00:00:11] All right. Going partying tonight, huh? Oh, my goodness. Speaker 3: What was [inaudible 00:00:11] the citizens of Moab? Speaker 2: Freestyle. Speaker 4: [00:00:30] So, we rolled up in this canyon [00:01:00] and I threw down some 3-D freestyle that would blow your mind. I did this really cool, like, pull up and [inaudible 00:01:08] shot over myself. So, think you're at the bottom of the canyon, I'd pull up, go inverted, and then pull away from myself. So far I haven't seen anyone else do that move. It's kind of cool to be able to lay down some tricks that others [00:01:30] are going to get to see. Speaker 5: Colby One is up doing his thing, diving the canyon and I'm being me, I had to make a race course. So, I decided to make a race course and [00:02:00] I called out Colby One again for a race, because he needed to race. Speaker 6: Shaun walked up and challenged me to a race. We just set up a course through the natural obstacles. We were diving through this little triangle gap and a boulder and then went up the canyon wall, shooting down through the valley and just doing some laps. It was really fun. Speaker 4: [00:03:00] It's a very small gap and these guys like to go fast. I'm predicting at least one of them is going to explode a [inaudible 00:03:11] before we're done here. Speaker 6: Full throttle the whole time. Speaker 5: No, you go ahead. Speaker 6: Go ahead. Speaker 7: That [00:03:30] was the best flying experience I've ever had. That was one I'll remember for the rest of my life. Was that cool? Just the expanse, the venue, all the structures. It catered to everybody. I was doing moves that I've never done in my life. I don't even know where the hell it came from. I guess I was just so in the moment. It did feel euphoric. Alright, I'm going up. Speaker 6: He [00:05:00] was literally climbing the face of the cliff, ten feet away from it and going all the way to the top. Then diving down. Speaker 7: What did Colby call it? Between the cheeks. He was like, "Get in those cheeks. Get in those [00:06:00] cheeks". Speaker 6: Shelby was tearing up the canyon. I've never seen wing fly like that. I remember his battery action died midway through a dive. Speaker 7: Battery! Speaker 4: So, Shelby [inaudible 00:06:28] landing of this wing was the most [00:06:30] epic wing landing I've ever seen. Speaker 7: Coming in hard. Bounce. I did it underneath the [00:06:41] RV. It can never be repeated. Yeah! Speaker 4: He shoots it underneath the RV. It keeps skidding like 100 feet. That was the best landing of the entire [00:07:00] trip. Hands down. Speaker 1: Next episode. The pilots leave Moab and make a stop in Tatooine. Speaker 8: I cannot wait for the next race.
