NURK FPV
Hello nurk amazing video was stunned how you got under that train was amazing can you help me out please I'm a beginner in the drone family and I'm looking on a FPV DRONE TO START ME OFF
Impresionante !!!!!
Too bad he slid the glass shut?
I need u to 360 survey my land with the drone how much ?
robin, he would do the same for a bumble bee..lol'.
almost 2 years later but still remains as one of my favorite fpv vids of all time.
…perfect music
Two more years and same here still.
Yeah I find myself coming back to this one more often then not and the music is the perfect compliment
Best FPV Video on UA-cam in my Opinion.
i was like
- "yea nice, but let me see you land that thing on the train" *lands on the train*
- "hmm nice one, but he cant fly between the carriges" *flys betwwen the carriges*
- "wow but flying under whould be impossible, no way he.... *flyes under* ...... okay im out"
Are you serious?
You forgot that he was *inside* a wagon, too!
you forgot about this 1:58 moment.
Literally me :)
Peter Handler
*CARS*
Not carriages
Jesus, American trains are freaking long.
0 up to 250 cars long. Anymore then the knuckles break
@@bnsfbandit9807 I ran the long ones like a stolen taxi cab.
^v^
So, you didn't see Russian train ;)
Кол-во вагонов в США и России может и одинаковое, но если сравнивать длину вагонов, то в США они длиннее, поэтому и составы длиной намного больше.
I love how at 3:25 he sees the open door out of the corner of his eye as he is recovering from bumping the train while going under and then snaps to it at 3:27, perfectly timed with horn hit in the music. Excellent pilot, excellent music, and an epic flight!
3:20! That was so lucky!
I've never seen anything like this! Your ability to fly a drone like that is amazing. Awesome is the only word I can think of!
here I am watching your video & thinking to myself was all you forgot to do was fly under the train! 10 seconds later you do just that!!!
probably the craziest flight I've seen so far. you killed it!
"All you had to do was follow the damn train CJ!"
Dude the driver shutting the window was epic. Like you know how random that would be to be driving along seeing nothing everyday then out of the blue you see a drone creepin on you? 😂😂😂 best part of the vid
I said that exact thing to my cousin just now haha
I was bored at work one day, and i was flying my spark above a target. I would slowly descend on people walking. When they noticed i would put the drone in sport mode and fly away. Always had a good laugh with my coworkers while doing it.
@@michaelyounger8193 haha that's awesome.
diver be like....what the spy F is this !!!
@@asbestosfibers1325 maybe if you got a stick up your booty hole. U think it would be so fun to see a drone flying beside a moving train. Takes skill.
Still my favorite all time video. Must have watched it over a hundred times. Congratulations on winning the DRL World Championship, I think I was yelling as loud as you when you won. Very happy for you!
This video is what got me in to FPV 4 years ago
1:23 he got lucky in avoiding those cables. Doubt that he saw it through his goggles.
ngl it looks like he cuts through it lmao
Nah he knew, he could see the posts still and also visually scouted the area before taking off no doubt.
I still regularly come back to watch this whenever I need to be inspired. It’s what made me keen on freestyle fpv
All we had to do was follow the damn *train* , CJ!
It looks just like the trains in GTA v too
This is precisely the video I show people when people ask about my drone and what it can do. Mind blowing work!
When I first became a long haul truck driver I recognized that bridge and was like “holy sheez, that’s the place from the train drone video!” Now every time I drive through there I still think of this video and watch out for that train bridge.
Man you are PRO!
We should collaborate on a video at some point. ;-)
it would be awesome)
NURK FPV lol dang couldn't believed u flew under the train. That was pretty awesome
fucj you man drone pilots like u are the reason everything goes too SHIT because you are reckless and this video proves it plus if you crashed it and it landed on one of those empty cars you would complain that it will be hard to get back when IF u never did this crap and flew out of other peoples space like TRAINS that "if" would never be a thing
CHARPU #2 ??????????
Dunno about dropping the Mike but the thud you hear is my jaw on the floor! That's some serious flying skills there.
so manly utterly perfectly timed parts in this video... what an outstanding song you picked for this edit...
the conductor.. A+
On top the train.. A+
the "epic" paint.. A+
underneath the train... A+
Inside the train.. A+
The first fpv video I ever watched I stumbled upon by accident one evening while sitting up at our local off-road RC track. I watched it then watched a 2nd time with my son and immediately after I said "oh yeah we are doing this" I then ordered an eachine wizard and had it over nighted to us. Maiden flight was in acro and no goggles. Needless to say a minute and a half in we never saw it again. Searched for hours with no luck.
First fpv video I had ever seen. Its the reason I've spent countless amounts of money on replacing parts and frames but with they pay off of the most enjoyable hobby my son and I have invested in. He's about to be 17 yrs old and still flies with me 3 to 4 days a week. I would have to say that it is the single most reason we have stayed as close as we are thru his teenage years. Thank you @NURK FPV . I mean that. Thank you
It's getting towards two years later and I'm still loving this ..
I like to imagine there was a stunned freight hopper on the other side of that open box car.
And here I am. 3 years later. Again. Right after you were talking with Potato Jet Gene about that Video.
Same for me!
Same
Which video does he mention that?
@@JodyGUY red digital on 100 mph fpv drone
Still the best FPV video out here. It will go down in history as the video that got camera drone flyers to fly FPV.
One of the most epic and ballsy flights that I have ever seen Nurk, you attempted and accomplished so many moves that would of taken out any mere fpv mortals, you should be inducted into the fpv hall of fame.
Lacie, I don't believe you.
SteelRainSpo would HAVE*. But yeah, all the rest...! 👍🏼
How does he get reception at times??
Bud Foltyn - Thanks, I didn't know the grammar patrol was in town 😝
Anthony Abelardo - He is probably using a very strong vtx such as the TBS Unify Pro transmitting on 800mw, while using top notch diversity receivers like the LaForge or True D, and top quality receiving antennas.
Okay. It's months later. How are y'all finding this video?
NURK FPV Tim shieff
Turn Left at Greenland
[10 Million dollars to whomever knows the 'Greenland' reference...]
It blew up, exactly what it earned!
[drone racing]
ive done a lot of heli flying ,,but this is the best FPV video ive ever seen up until today. ,,youre a brilliant and skilled pilot .
HOLYSHIT !
We should collaborate on a video at some point. ;-)
Qu'es ce que tu fais dans le racer game Steph ??
SURE !
Mais qu'est-ce que tu fais ici :D
Promo caché mais faut pas le dire ;)
Every year I come back to see this video that by chance stumbled onto my recommendations and every year I have come back to see this form of art. 👍👏
I love watching these things to fuel my lucid dreams so I feel like I'm flying
Get a small one you can fly indoors. You won't *feel* like you're flying - you *will* be flying. It's tricky, at first. But once you get the hang of it, it becomes something quite easy to do. I have one that I fly in my small apartment. Even while learning, I never broke anything in my place, nor did I hurt myself by bumping into myself when flying. Beats the 'flying dream' by a longshot.
3:21 is awesome!!!
1:23 omg had you ever seen the cables ?!
That was damm close
He saw them in the action replay
damn that was close, i bet he didnt
That has to be a racing drone (FPV). With the best drone pilot I've ever seen. His sense of spacial reality is insane..
That is some mad drone piloting..
And a long ass train..
so long
Hands down, The best FPV footage I've seen ever!
The FAA fines from flying around, next to, in between, and even INTO this train were enough to have “bought a car”. Sheesh.
Just came from the other video also 🤣😂
Same here jajaaja
Wondering how much? 🤔
I would really love to know as well haha
I mean, how much do you think it costs to buy a car?
In which video are the FAA fines referenced?
Too much of naughtiness.. Apart from huge flying skills. Unbelievablly awesome 👏👏👏
Holy crap, I dont know how long you’ve been flying but it’s totally amazing. I lost my breath a few times. I’m ready to see more. Thank you for sharing.
I wanted to call shenanigans on click bait title before the view...I officially retract that viewpoint, excellent flight Paul.
Apdtwo7 I don't do click bait. Simply tell the truth
NURK FPV well you "simply" knocked this one out of the park! I'm nominating this title "no click-bait bullshit of the year award" on UA-cam
NURK FPV #TheonlyoneonUA-camthatdoesn'tdoclickbait
Totally amazing....no wonder you celebrated at the end.
And the landing into power loop through the gap and following the speed of the train in the recovery. Brilliant flying
This video has everything I love avout dronevideos! Very up close action filming, extreme control, one shot and a great soundtrack. Well done!
I'm just starting out in fpv, coming from DJI flying camera background, so I've been watching people like Steele, rotor riot guys, flight test, etc. This is by far the best freestyle I have seen on freakin you tube, not just the acrobatics but i really like the precision. man you are the best, and yes i heave subscribed and looking forward to all future videos
I'm going to blame you for my crazy addiction to this FPV sport. This video is what got me HOOKED!!!!!! Crazy//Awesome!!!!Absolute control, you are the MASTER! I have only watched this video approximately 50 times or more ...Can't stop watching!!! Thank you for the video!
I fully accept the blame
I have a DJI Mavic 2 Pro. I’m pretty good. You are insane. WOW!
What ya doing in there Mr. Conductor????lol He slammed that thing so hard, he bout broke the window!
Awesome video Nurk!!!👍 Hate we can't give you more likes.
Sharing == more likes! :P haha
When a crew gets teed off about something like that, that's what they do. I tried talking to an engineer a few years ago & as nice I was, he literally slammed the window shut on me
I don't care what anybody says this video is freaking awesome
I like how when the conductor sees you, he closes the window. The driver sits on the other side though.
This and the Tom Smith fpv video are what eventually got me flying. Awesome. Have to come back and watch on occasion.
Going into a boxcar was so extreme there lol.
Great choice of song
I just want you to know that I watched this video over 2 years ago now, and it is the reason that I got into FPV. I was at a shooting event with a buddy that brought a dji phantom and he let me fly it. I had started flying it a little to fast for his liking and I told him that I couldn’t see spending the money for something that went so slow. So he told me to check out some stuff on UA-cam and this was the video I found.
It then became my sole focus to research the hobby and spending an inordinate amount of time away from my family while researching how to solder, flying simulators, flying micros, upgrading to higher RPM brushed motors, trimming off the weight, stepping up to bigger quads, all the while dumping more and more and more and more money into this god-forsaken endeavor.
I’ve spoke to my lawyer and he’s confirmed that there is a legitimate case against you that would find you culpable for, not only my “investment” into the hobby, but also, the emotional damage caused to my children for you estranging (can I make that word into a verb?) their father from them, and even my alimony!
(Please find the fact that I’m not actually divorced, and that I’ve liked and stayed subscribed as evidence to my sarcasm)
I’ve decided to take the high road and not drag you through courts and instead I’ll just be sending you my patreon (this doesn’t exist) and I’ll allow you to “do what’s right!”
Nurk - i keep comin back to this again and again. I wish there was award out there. Sheer brilliance. Respect.
Pushing the limits! Flying and morals
Nothing immoral here, illegal?, perhaps.
This is absolutely insane! Some of the best drone footage I’ve ever seen!
Props to whomever chose the Gil Scot Heron track, u a real one 🥴
Too bad it's copyrighted and Nurk got no ad revenue for this video.
Under the hopper and into the boxcar, at 40-50mph!? You’re my hero.
Beautiful! And you dodged a bullet at 1:24. Really nice work.
Very lucky!!!
Glad someone else noticed that. Always look for poles! :-)
Man, that new youtube algohrithm brings me more and more awesome videos!
I'm at a lost for words. I have to pick my jaw up from the floor!!!!
That was the sickest fpv flight I ever saw. Me as an FPV pilot myself, I don’t think I would have that much trust in myself! That level of skill, just amazing
Did anyone else see the close call with the suspension cables at 1:24?
looks like he actualy touched them
this was the first time i was shocked, but this would be just a normal crash... but there so many other incidents where it was nearly a total, and and loss of craft (including the recording...)
yup, when he bounced off the rocks right next to the wheels of the train, my immediate thought was; well there goes the whole thing. But expertly saved.
If you go frame by frame you can see that he cuts the top line. Probably a telephone wire.
The whole video was a close call. Good stuff.
Wow 😮 Man that was just amazing. I was grinning from ear to ear 😎
haha thank you so much! That's how I felt after the flight.
It was then that he realized he didnt hit the record button.
nooooooooooooooooooooooooooO!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not funny!!! Lmao
that hit too hard home
@@sl2148 ikr! I dove some powerline towers today (like inside the trellis) but then realized I wasn't recording
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bruh, that was so crazy!
That tight spot after the powerloop between the rails in the bridge! Between the train! UNDER the train! Inside the train! Wow
bloody hell what did I just see?????? freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeekin amazing!!!
Pretty much the GREATEST video I have ever seen!!! Many hats off to you man (and several conductors caps too) :P you officially have greater balls of Steele than Mr. Steele himself! Congratulations!!!
KittFPV Actually Mr Steele has tiny balls.
KittFPV... Stalker?
Drone: Hey man
TrainDriver: Get outa here!!
Wasn't the "traindriver" it was the conductor and he was kind of a little bitch.
@@Iowarail He's at work, and suddenly notices some anonymous person filming him. I'd close the window too. No telling what the intentions of the pilot are. Could've been a bomb on that drone for all he knew.
Or his wife wondering why he is looking at a Playgirl magazine at work.
Falls under harassment of a railroad employee who is working and is illegal.
@@loganrollo 🤦♂️🤦♂️
Man this video NEVER gets old man.. honestly i think this is a progression in freestyle flying. When i was younger it was all about big mountain skiing and snowboarding and I remember how those sports progressed as people risked more and more. Super sketchy proximity flying should be the next big thing. Thanks Nurk!
When clickbait titles actually match the video. My hat is off to you sir!
This title does not even do justice to this video. It should just be re-uploaded as "the best drone stunts video of all time."
That engineer was pissed off. lol
Actually that would have been the Conductor.
Yeah the engineer sits on the other side
yea wonder if he thought of it like an attack of some sort strap something to the drone and fly it in the window might have been out of safety reasons
woulda been cooler of him just to wave
I loved it. The only danger here is to the drone.
He likely broke a dozen unknown laws, it shouldn't be that way but likely is, great video.
nurk s criminal
Not very responsible, but flying skill out of this world. Incredible, in the sense of the word. Yet I see it is real. How does Hollywood not already employ you?
1:02 buddy is not having it XD
Who keeps rewatching thisssss XD
Flight of the year!
This is my all-time favorite FPV video.
Это более, чем ВИРТУОЗНО! : D
Found it- song is by Gill Scott Heron - Train from Washington
ownedpked thank you.
Thanks! I knew I knew the voice but couldn't place it. Kept thinking Bill Withers, but totally is not.
awesome ty!
Wonder if he is paying Ozzy any royalty for the portion of "Crazy Train" at the beginning
Well I have officially decided to stop uploading any video ever to youtube. No way to ever come close to this Epicness. "All your base are belong to NURK" :)
I'm deleting my whole channel. :)
;-) Nah! That's the wrong attitude -- the attitude you should have is i'm gonna destroy NURK at content -- that's how we keep getting awesome stuff!
One of my top 10 all-time UA-cam videos! Incredible pilot skills and equally dazzling editing. I watch this maybe once a quarter and am still awestruck! Thanks!
I'm sitting at my computer about to pen my retirement letter to the company, little bummed out right now...but then I saw your posting. Going to call you Dr. Ice because you need icebergs running through your veins to pull off something like that. How in the world will you ever top that? I fly a Phantom 4 and if you're a ten than I'm a .2 (only if you allow me some gratitude)
Thanks for getting me out of my funk and putting a smile on my face.
Cool comment coming from who clearly is a cool dude!
houly guaccamouly! what an epic flight!
I'm sure that driver told his wive in the evening there was even a peeping tom on the tracks today. Have you trained that? Or let me asks does this train drives daily around your house or was that a spontaneous one flight? neverthless this is pure awesomeness!
Great flying.
Dude that was the best piloting I've ever seen. PERIOD....WOW...i can't believe it took this long to see it
That train driver fucking shat his pants :D
Can you imagine what it would be like to see that? Would be so confusing.. :P
He prob doesnt know of drones just chilling there and theres a fucking flying robot staring at him from a window of a moving train kinda confusing :D
exactly. I would probably have flipped my shit too if I didn't know what those wer.
I almost sh*t in my pants. That dude... he is right now still trying to convince his wife martians exist.
I think hes first thought was terrorists :P
Very talented flying. Your flying up by the engine cab was not your smartest move.
why ? was fun XD
@@nejc3 These trains have assigned crews and it wouldn't be too hard for the railroad to figure out who was flying the drone, especially since the very talented drone flyer identified himself at the end of the video. Again, railroads do not take kindly to this type of "trespassing" on railroad property anymore. If the drone had never flown up beside the cab, the crew would have never known this ever happened. With things the way they are today, why would someone want to possibly get themselves into legal hot water ??
@@mec253 true!
Cool but reckless. Definitely doesn’t shine a good light on drone pilots to the majority of the world.
@@mec253 this isn't trespassing on the united states. They don't own the air.
Interesting how he can bend down to pick that drone over those gigantic titanium balls
I saw you saw the gap under the carriage and was like he is going to take it next chain. BAM you went through it, legend!
All I have to say is he's the truth...
That Guy can FLY FPV...
That conductor closed that window fast. lol
He landed on top,
Flew in between, went inside & underneath WoW smh Skills.
Mad Props to Him...👍🏼👍🏼
Epic man, the best I have seen. Guess there will be a big investigation now as you could of derailed that train and cause massive damage with your 500 gram killer Drone :-)
It took the conductor several seconds to realize it was there and shut the window... and this is a pilot who went under a moving train....
Did i mention that was awesome.
What about evil plans with explosives on a drone? Is that not a frightening possibility? Or fly into the cabin and incapacitate the driver somehow: Gas spray or something? That is what would cause concern...
And I assure you there are people in Law Enforcement PAID to think like that...
you would not need a drone to do that. just because you can use something for a terrorist attack, does not mean its the main purpose of this thing. eg kitchen knives can equally well cut people as they can cut carrots.
Yman83464 damn never thought of that... Maybe we should ban cars too, we could drive into a group of people if we wanted to, and Rc cars to, maybe I could strap a bomb to it. Or maybe we should ban cellphones because you could easily make a detonator with that. Gtfo. Just because of the possibility of something it doesn't mean we gotta ban drones. That is the stupidest argument I've heard. Yes, there should be regulation, but saying something is dangerous because you COULD make it lethal. Besides, it requires a fair amount of knowledge to build something like this, so a terrorist (of whom there are so many of) would probably use a different method. Here's an easier one, destroy the rails, I'm sure it's easier than getting all the equipment needed for a quadcopter, learn how to build it, learn how to fly it so you don't crash it before even reaching the train, and then managing to blow it up near the train (with a bomb they would need to obtain, or make (in that case they could probably build a drone with little issue, but again, much easier to blow the rails than blow the train)). Long comment, you get the point.
rotorpix I was worried sick he was going to hurt the train! ROTL
That was sick!!!! Omg you went into the wagon and under the train you just hit the undercarriage and recover like nothing happened!!!! Bro you are professional. Fpv is one of the best things in life
This video should be titled: harassing a train 😂
Ok... I usually laugh when I read “drone pilot” somewhere, here I’ll make an exception...
Why do you laugh?
Congrats on 1,000,000 views!!
Using illegal tactics and use of other people to make money.
I came across this video shortly after the date in the description. I recently discovered who Nurk is and just subscribed.
I was today years old to learn Nurk was the pilot in the video that has been my favorite for years.
3:21 risky move there.
What's the risk there? losing his quad? That's only like a grand of equipment, nothing compared to the tens of thousands of dollars he had to pay in fines.
Over on Trains Magazine people are whining about how dangerous this is. Yes, it's dangerous to the drone, but not in any way dangerous to the train.
This is my new favorite fpv video well done man!!!!
That trestle through the woods looks sick
