Drone Racing Is A Thing Now [Video]

Welcome to the Drone Racing League where speed is all that is needed to be the best in the world. Oh, and probably a drone and a bit of cash to spare in case you crash.

If you’re not crashing, you’re not flying.

Pretty wise words from a bunch of drone nerds, wouldn’t you say? Now, we introduced you to the idea of drone racing a couple of weeks ago with THIS EPIC VIDEO and now we bring you a couple of interviews with the actual pilots of the drones. Members of the Drone Racing League talk about what flying through an open space feels like – and if you’re just there to do backflips and decorative flights, you’re not there for the speed.

Cute guys.
