Race a drone like a pro with UFO and Xavier De Le Rue
In this episode of TRY TO XV, I got to go and learn from the best, Swatch & Drone Racing League pilot UFO, who taught me about racing drones and showed me his skills at the event in Nice – which was insane.
I have been fascinated by drones since the beginning as a cheaper/ more effective way to film in the mountains, I thought I was quite a skilled flyer and would be able to fly the Drone Racing League competition course… ha ha I could not have been more wrong!
But this edit is not the end, just the beginning as I am going to have to get these guys to come to the mountains and film… watch this space.

Sick Xavier! Be sure to take a look at shredbots’ last videopart: they asked to be filmed by a racing-drone pilot and the end result is over the top. Check that out and plan your next big mountain adventure with one of those rad guys! BEST THING EVER
Sick my man! Now imagine filming YOURSELF going down some sick line! :O
Rad!!! It turned out awesome! Next up, let’s head to the mountains!
