Sunset Over Chernobyl

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE : Over the course of 2016, Rotor Riot emerged as a force in the world of freestyle first-person view (FPV) flight. Started by the founder of the highly successful Flite Test YouTube channel, Rotor Riot put some of the world's top FPV pilots together, not to race against each other but to fly freestyle in epic spots around the world. One of them was the old Chernobyl site in Ukraine, the location of one of history's worst nuclear accidents. In this video, you'll see long-time Rotor Riot member stingerswarm take on this legendary bando site.

BADGES THIS VIDEO HAS EARNED:

This flight isn't the most epic, my tune isn't the best it's ever been, I wasn't super smooth on the sticks, but it was a cornerstone of my trip to Ukraine. I don't think I will ever forget it so I just want to share it in its entirety. This was at the end of our first day in Pripyat and we climbed the stairs to the roof of this 16 story apartment building. We were able to see the reactor, the Ferris wheel, the Duga antenna, and all of the city that was left behind. It was an eerie yet awe inspiring view and an amazing place to fly.

I've made it a full week releasing a clip every day. I went back and forth on whether or not to include footage from the trip I took with Rotor Riot to Ukraine. Ultimately I've decided to include it but I want to put a little more time into these edits. Well here is the first of my Ukraine/Chernobyl footage that I'll be releasing on my channel.
