Was that a real heli? or a remote heli?

Pretty cool stuff we are seeing in this new age of race coverage.

looks like a remote one. you can see the shadow of it in one shot.

Definitely remote. Saw it flying around when the wind let off.

Yeah I don't think they'd want a full size heli flying around there with the zip lines and power lines nearby. Great footage and video, plus with the remote heli flying around there they don't have to worry about getting caught up in trees and branches.

It's the only hair that I can still grow that not gray. That's what!
Boy, in the 80's they never called them "creeper or Porn stash".

No literally. at the end of the 80's I was only 7 years old.

RC footage was awesome, I hope some of the big name film makers try their hand at this.

This looks like its gonna hurt...

Yes the aerial footage is great! It really shows the terrain, speed and everything else so much better.
This video will be used (and seen by many) to get the big name film makers more interested in dh races.
Did you see this aerial video of the Canfield Brothers in Moab?

 

[jonKranked]

probably my fav thing about the aerial footage is that you can capture much larger sections of trail

The big reason I like the aerial is it shows the steepness of the terrain better, along with the scale of what they are riding.

I think an aerial cam would be pretty awesome to watch 4x from.

That video was pretty cool, much more controlled and synchronized camera/pilot action.
