This is a video of “movement artist” ModernTarzan (aka Nicholas Coolridge) taking a break from swinging from the tree tops to ride a skateboard through a sewer pipe, ending in a dry water runoff/makeshift skatepark where a friend tries to matador him with a flannel shirt and everyone cheers like
Red Bull teamed up with the drone experts at Dutch Drone Gods to develop a real missile of a drone that can keep up with F1 cars in order to capture chase footage. Some more info about the project while I repeatedly fly the cheap drone I got for Christmas
