I just mash the sticks randomly until cool stuff happens

Let me just say how amazing it is to NOT get bombarded by sponsorship messages and have a purely informative video of appropriate length. Thank you for your genuine hard work Joshua.

Let1s take a moment to recognize that this guy is explaining+doing the tricks at the same time. Respect.

Seeing the sticks makes a HUUUUGE difference. Thanks mate!

Best part is when joshua is trippin with orbit, rolling to the left? what am i doing? 😂

"roll to the left, pitch to the left... roll to the right... wait! what am I doing?..." that whole bit is priceless... seems this would be a good time for Joshua from the future to step in again!! :-D

Just getting into FPV and I can't thank you enough for all that you've brought to the community! I'm learning a ton. It's also super fun watching this while working in the Liftoff sim map of your house... feels like a 1x1 training =)

I love that even when you dork something up.... you keep going. Mistakes happen and it’s one thing to do and explain while teaching! Thanks for putting out info that’s great for beginners!

Awesome tutorial. I love it how each trick builds onto the next. I’d love to see more flying tutorials from Bardwell

watched this video many times over the course of my FPV journey, getting back into it and reviewing old (but still relevant) stuff and today for the first time ever noticing your sign on your porch. Love that.

This confirms my feeling: making a perfect orbit seems to be much more complicated than it seems ! :-) Thank U Joshua !!

I am an FPV newbie and a recent subscriber. Your videos have gotten me through the binding process, switch configuration, and even getting my transmitter signal strength on my OSD!! Such wonderful resources you have created and shared! I also appreciate that you include your crashes in these tutorials. You are an amazing pilot, but even you sometimes nail the tree or have to bail out of a move. It keeps it real. :) Thanks for what you do!

I'm one month into this little thing called FPV. The amount of information I've been able to learn from you in so awesome! Thanks so much for all the work you put into this. Also I've mentioned before I have the JB Phreakstyle and its incredible. Sadly broke an arm finally the other day....waiting for replacements

A lot of the FPV related videos I've been watching lately have been really focused on the tech and gear. Videos like this remind me of why I love this hobby.

After all these years, this is the first time I signed in and subscribed to any Chanel... good luck on full time KZfaq

Fantastic, as a none FPV pilot as yet, I can’t get enough of these tutorials bud. Thanks for sharing and please post more. Like an FPV for beginners.

This is just perfect for where I'm at;- not yet flown FPV (all my gear is now in the mail!), so I'm doing a couple of hours in the Sims per day trying to get prepared. All this gives me a whole lot more to work on. I just love your enthusiasm for this stuff - it's infectious. All the time you must put into these vids is very much appreciated. Thanks JB!

You are the most technical drone pilot I know. Thanks for teaching us something.

Omg i was flying through the same arena in lift off today! Good to see it real!

WOW...I was looking up freestyle tricks, watching older ones from Rotor Riot then all of a sudden JB uploads one! Nice timing and GREAT video!

Great stuff Josh, I would like add that when shooting gaps, the single most important tip is where to focus your eyes. Eye training, where to look when lining up is sooooo important. I have learned that you must look through the gap NOT at it. Pick a spot that is centered in your gap and well beyond the gap itself. It could be a shadow or a fencepost what ever but keep your focus locked on that until you have cleared the gap. Just like riding a bike, the further off into the distance you set your focus, the smoother your lines will be and the less last minute corrections will be required. Also practicing throttle and altitude control is an esential part of nailing gaps, practice flying a foot off the ground and maintaining that altitude while turning using a technique I call a flat drift turn, using yaw with very little roll mixed in to produce a flat drifting type turn.

Best tutrorial I've ever seen. Joshua, thanks. I'm gonna try it tomorrow.

Awesome job next #11 orbits lead into backwards flight and realizing that you dont need to move the direction your camera is pointing spacial awareness and orientation to the direction the prop is going to push you when power is applied.... great vid

Haha, orbit was the first move I learned. Great video tough. Gonna write down that list and spend a couple of packs practicing them everytime I go fly.

When I first started I made a list of all the things I wanted to learn over the summer. I just saw it a few days ago and was like “Wow”

Thank you man for making this fpv community so connected and inspiring.

I personally love watching the way you vary speed of your flips/rolls. It makes it feel like slow motion

I just started building my drone. This video came at the perfect time. Thank you so much Joshua. I have learned so much from you.

I love watching tutorials without having the things needed in that.

One of my favorites so Far thanks so much, helps a ton to see the stick overlays with explanation instead of the stick cam, it’s hard to watch sticks and video sometimes so it’s great how you explain as your doing it

Coerced into sabbatical status for a while after being banned from local fly spot but have a new spot and I found this really helpful coupled with the muscle memory and ok deflection chops I already had. This helped make the transition from theory to physically doing these maneuvers way smoother than it would have been without it and with minimal panic and anxiety. Thanks Joshua, you're da best!

LoL FPV sure is confusing stuff, eh, all this rolling to the up and downing to the straight, and forward to the sometimes, while reversing to the chicken, it’s all the devils work 🤘🏻🤘🏻

Excellent tips especially for someone wanting to get back into quads ;-) See you in the Air!

Sweet man! You’re tearing it up!:) love that you leave the “confusion” in the video... had a good chuckle over that!

The maestro is at work! Fantastic video. This is one of those videos that I'll watch over and over until I master each fundament to perfection. Thanks a lot. Few people have teachead me more on how to tame my quads. Invaluable lessons here.

Josh, please make additional videos focusing on long range quads and set ups

Missed the stick overlay on the yaw spin. Maybe upload a short addition?

THANK YOU! That was just what i was looking for as in how to do these moves! There are a lot of moves made that look smooth, but how to do them is the trick and this helps a lot! Out to the field now to practice, thanks Joshua!

I’ve been trying to get into the hobby and watching allot of videos and this one with the stick controls showing on screen is the best I’ve seen this is awesome just explained so much with just being able to see that instead of a picture of what your actually doing on the sticks. Thanks man!! Great video!

I think just about every pilot can gain something from these practices

Can you do a video analyzing flying styles? Everyone talks about flying styles but what are they?

You've really come a long way. I don't fly enough to advance very quickly, but these exercises should really help. Thanks bud.

Joshua, it was awesome watching you mess up on some of the stunts. it goes to show that even some of the more skilled pilots, such as yourself, are still learning. Thank you for another great video.

19:00 nooo what happened to the stick overlay? You keep talking about the stick positions, but we can't actually see them anymore. Especially for an instructional video like this seeing the sticks helps a lot in understanding the move and flow. It's back for #10, but somehow not for #9?

So I learned something.. (even if you told me to dammit). =P Nice one man. My sim life is progressing much faster than I thought it would partly from your lessons... (now if I could just remember to sleep a little). I guess I should be firing up the actual quad soon at this rate. I just wanted to have good control before I go for real, so I can get into using my yard ASAP without having an incident with a neighbor lol.... Speaking of which... Dude... what is the reason you don't have fun obstacles all over that castle and in that field? If that place were mine it would be quad disneyland and the local power station would dip every time I plugged it in haha.

I just started in the simulator today. Lift off and your video just helped me out a lot just by watching your stick movement on the screen. So thank you for that. Great KZfaq channel awesome content. Your videos have helped me out a hell of a lot.

I watched these videos 4 years ago when they came out. Still remember all your lines at your house

2:40 I think you mixed up flip and roll there ;) (rolls involve the roll axis, and flips are either front or back flips ;))

RIP Charpu? made me go lookup what happened to him. Nothing, hes fine. I guess you just mean he doesnt do much fpv stuff anymore.

JB, thanks so much for this video. Being able to watch your stick input wow you explain the maneuver is incredibly helpful, especially for someone like me who is just getting into FPV even though I’ve been doing remote control aircraft for over 25 years

Thank you so much for doing this for the community JB. We just installed my RX for my Nazgul5 4S a few days ago and on the 2nd day of my flight I was able to try for the first time some rolls, a power loop, and hit some gaps because of this video. God bless and more power to you. Love here from the Philippines.

Just a few days away from becoming Joshua Beardwell.

"roll to the........ roll to the... hrmn"

That video is flawless to view Josh! Soo clear, no static.... Mark me as patrone

Thanks JB. I will have to watch this a few (dozen) times. I have been working on my moves, and this has been VERY helpful.

14:15 dont mind just a reminder where i where at the vid

All I could think of during the Orbit-section was how the birds in the bird house feel like: "Maaaaa! That stupid noisy bird is here again!" "What is it doing?" "I don't know, it flipped over a thousand times and now it is just circling our house!" "God dammit, we should have stayed in Oakland..."

Love the stick overlays in these tutorials. Great stuff JB and thank you 👍😎🇦🇺

This is such a great video! I come back to it often as I am learning these tricks. This is why JB is one of the best subject matter experts out there for all things FPV.

Haha okay so here's a rundown of the times for the different tricks :) 0:45 Hit Gaps 2:26 Flips/Rolls 4:25 Variable Flips/Rolls 7:00 Knife Edge Gaps 10:01 Inverted Hang 11:17 Inverted Look back 12:34 Split-S 14:15 Power Loop 18:24 Yaw Spin 21:06 Orbit This took ages but anything for our king Bardwell

This video (and your channel in general) is helping me out so much on my FPV journey. Seeing your stick inputs on the screen as you flew really helped my visualizations of what my own fingers need to be doing when flying. Thanks for the great video.

You`re flying is amazing! I learned how to do power rolls from a video you had about a year or so ago. Thank you for the great teachings and flight instructions!

Tremendous tute! Thank you! On that power loop bail out, and I’ve done thousands, instead of completeing the pitch backward, then flying out, pitch forward, and simultaneously hammer that throttle and catapult your quad into the air!

...1 min in and im hooked...best addition to any video EVER is the control graphics! thank you JB!

Great stuff brother, just starting out in fpv. This is my 2nd week in and your knowledge has helped me along the way to become a smoother pilot. Sometimes I forget to add throttle after completing a move, well we all know how that ends. Lol keep on keeping on 🍻

one of the best videos on the internet this, great job Joshua Bardwell !!! Tearing it up !

Thanks for that tutorial, Joshua! Very well structured and great explanation/visualization. Subscribed!

Thanks for the tips. Super helpful to new pilots like myself!

Whenever I get in a slump and I think I'm doing the same tricks over and over again I come back and watch this video thanks again for all your good info

Excellent video bud! I've sent this to all my beginner pilot pals, nice one. Hope you're keeping well with the new bubba 👊🏼

These are brilliant fella the times iv come back to this learning and watched it again. Brilliant video,

OH, so good. I am an old RC pattern flyer, and just getting with drones. Watching you do these loops and rolls and split s is really exciting! Thanks Joshua !

Amazing! One of the best fpv videos ever! Learned so much!!!

Fantastic! Amazing! The best video about teaching fpv skills! Congratulations and many thanks!

Thankyou sooo much for putting the sticks at the bottom of the screen.. I e got the basics moves nailed.. but after watching this video 10x over lol it’s helped me gain much more confidence & skills 👍👍 love from the UK

Thank you for taking the time to explain this and record the stick movement. So very helpful. Subbed. Thank you.

I now have a list of things to work on for the rest of the summer! Newb acro pilot! Loving every minute of it. Love the videos too!!

My absolute favourite video of yours Joshua. It will be loaded up on my phone next time I’m going out to fly. Follow-the-leader so to speak. I guess I’m one of those pilots who can *do* all of those moves, but I’ve never really spent the time just practicing “one” move for a pack. Then the next move for a pack; and so on. Subsequently, I have no flow & no style, my flying is just a random sequence of successful bailouts. But seeing how you took all of the moves that you’d just “learned” us on & then talked your way through a freestyle session using those same moves, was awesome. Thank you!

Watching, sim training, DJI sale watching, and loving all the vids. Thx !

The orbit was where I really started not knowing just what it takes to do it good but with anything practice practice practice makes perfect I'm still far from perfect but I can hit it pretty good... now power loops are still on the roster like you said to do a perfectly timed power loop takes a level of confidence I still don't have every time... thanks for all the tips as always its helpful! 🥃cheers🍻

Another great video. I love how organic these videos are man. Really lets beginners feel comfortable knowing that this is something that you have to work at.

very nice i learned so much seeing the Sticks being moved. We need more of the stick action like this helps a nobie like myself learn more. Thanks

New Pilot here. So much great info! Explanations, being able to see the stick absolutely priceless!! THANK YOu!

So incredibly helpful. Thank you for this man!

Thanks for this! I want to get into fpv and these tips and tricks will help me a lot with getting better at this stuff!

Man :D I was just flying in your garden today .... And then .. I was watching few of your videos AND THEN I REALIZED ... YOU HAVE YOUR OWN LIFTOFF home. Thats sick :D GJ there with this hobby. You mastered.

You videos are really helping get into this, I've learnt a lot in the last two months.

your a good teacher and great advocate for the sport.

What antenna would you suggest that works with the beta fpv vr03? I have one but I can’t go more than 50 meters before I start getting terrible static. Thanks.

Thank you! Very good tips for beginners like me to learn a variety of basic tricks and get better control of my drone.

thank you, the stuff, you have expressed them with clarity and simplicity. and the ability to see only the control sticks, individually, you a clearer idea…. great place that of the video! thanks Joshua

Thank you for breaking down each move. Great moves to practice.

I'm just getting started in FPV and this was super helpful as always. Cheers

Beautiful! I like the sound of the motors during these tricks, very cool. Nice flowers on the background :-)

Love how we can see the sticks. Awesome touch!

Thanks so much. I'm at the not hitting the ground and making it through the gap in one piece point. This video gives me a chance to progress in a way that builds on itself. Sharing with my son in law. 👍💖🤓

Roll to the. No wait! Lol Loving seeing the stick positions when you fly. You are an exceptional teacher. Thanks again.

Thanks a lot, Bardwell. It's very hard to learn to do some tricks by yourself. I have nobody that flies drone near me, so these tricks worth even more in my case.

Not new to fpv or quads but I am still learning. I enjoyed watching josh. Thanks
