Bummer MCK get so much shade in Korea. He's such a good humble guy and a good sport. I'm pretty sure US/DRL/Fans would welcome him with open arms whenever he can travel more. MCK, Vanover, HeadsUp in DRL would definitely be on par for the super bowl in my house.

Yeah that's sad he seems like a good dude and they were chanting and laughing or whatever when they said he was sucking her third the dude seem very happy and humble and didn't lose by much and is very talented so how can you get tired of somebody when in something over and over that's just hating that's why they call it the best in the world you got to keep doing it to hold your title for you and if you want to see some crazy stuff look up Bob Monday fastest six shooter or firearm shooter in the world some of his videos blow me away he's no longer with us rest in peace but same level of unhuman reflex

@luceatlux7087 Жыл бұрын

@@MrJoeygregory yeah i was wondering why they wouldn't like him too... i think (when i try my best to empathize witht their reaction) it may have to do with exactly what you said, the reflexes... it's like, if you're just naturally going to blow everyone out of the water based on something they don't feel like they can change, i guess it gets old. but that's life. there's always someone better. no matter what you think you're the boss at. "Got it... Can't win. Don't try." -Bart Simpson this is something each one of our egos has to come to terms with. the way i handled wanting something that was only my own was to focus on creativity and novelty in my art. it gives me some of my sense of self back when i feel like no one and nothing.

As a new drone driver man I love how this has grown I’m no where near a pro but the rush from flying my drone has saved my life literally. Play the last couple years I’ve been going through some things and fractured my spine, and I went from being an active young man to hardly being able to do my chores but the eyes in the sky remind me of how beautiful and precious my life is!

I almost cried when you explained the part about fans going silent when he is announced 😔 and then him crying during this didn't help. I really can't believe people are so arrogant 🙄 to ignore his skills it's such a shame. He seems like a humble chill individual. And his flying speaks for itself. I'm very jealous of you and all these other pilots getting to go over there in a place where I dream of visiting and not only being around beautiful scenery but also getting to send it over lava ! Haha such an epic video. Nice coverage and I appreciate it. It's like we were there even though we couldn't be. Thanks very much!

What a beautiful, beautiful story! Our world and media are so full of bad news in so many ways with horrible events happening in various places in the world. A story like this shows the goodness in people, the kindness and generosity in people, wonderful fellowship and friendship - across cultures and national divides. Our world needs more of this. Thank you so much for bringing us this wonderful video. I can only fly inexpensive "line-of-sight" drones. What these folks do totally boggles my mind. They are incredible - and incredibly good sports. It doesn't get any better than this. Best wishes.

@RyanLawless 2 жыл бұрын

The silence that greets MCK when he wins reminds me of prizefighters with long win streaks getting booed by fans because people start to want them to lose. When there isn't a dominant champion, everyone wants a dominant champion; when they get one, they want him or her to lose. Toxic fandom ruins a lot of sports. Hearing that cheering for MCK when he took first was good for the soul. A great documentary about a sport I knew very little about. I'm glad I watched it. Well done.

@JonE5FPV 2 жыл бұрын

Its so funny you say that. I have been wondering for the last few years, if top drone racers could have some fast reflex advantages in combat sports like boxing. Really appreciate the feedback. I wonder if a young drone racer trained both boxing and racing from a young age if it could give advantages in both sides (say from age 12-18 or so)

@RyanLawless 2 жыл бұрын

I love that premise, Jon. I think that anything that improves coordination between the hands and the eyes is going to help with anything else that relies on those abilities, like boxing. Not just that, but the multitasking and continuous partial attention that takes place in drone racing is similar to boxing in many ways. For instance, ring generalship in boxing requires a boxer to be aware of the opponent, sure, but also the referee and the ring size and where the turnbuckles are in relationship to the ropes and so forth. Having never piloted a drone before, I can only speculate, but I'm confident there are similarities there to be mined.

Thanks so much! At a race this weekend with Minchan, Alex , Amari, Levi and several others from this trip. This weekend we are racing on a giant track built inside of 2 hockey rinks that connect to each other with a tunnel on the ice, called the Ice Storm Race. Hope to make another one of these soon.

Thanks so much. Long before FPV, my hobby was writing. Have had a goal to write something again for the last few years, and was cool to intersect all 3 of my major hobbies ive had at different times over the years (writing, short film making, and FPV). I had never even left Houston for a race until this year, so this was such an amazing experience to be able to witness and participate in. Evan, Shames and the crew did such an amazing job of running the event. Hope to catch you at the next one.

Beautiful story and nicely narrated; Thank you! I've been in FPV for some 7 years, and just came back to it after a long break. Need to do some catching up on what's going on in the scene and these kinds of stories so nice for that.

That is awesome! Ive been flying about the same time, racing since around 2017 and its crazy to see how far we have come. I have a 2nd piece to this im working on to follow minchan through his first year of international competition. Stay tuned.

11:44 I almost shed a tear at this moment watching this young man pour his heart out about his experience and expressing his gratitude with so much humility. He almost hesitated to show excitement and or celebrate at this event due to his traumatic past which I find heart-breaking. In Costa Rica nobody would have kept him from rejoicing in his success wholeheartedly, and just reveling in being the legendary pilot that he is already at his young age. Props to Minchan and all who participated and organized this event. As a Tico I am so happy to see FPV being showcased at this level in my beloved Tiquisia. ❤️🇨🇷⛱️🌊🚀

Great video man! That kid is a machine for sure. And it really sucks and kinda makes me sad that when he wins back in Korea that nobody cheers for him. He works soooo hard to be as good as he is, he deserves the recognition for that accomplishment. What he has achieved on the race track is definitely extraordinary!
