It's Not Called Suicide Bridge For No Reason
#1
Finally got a chance to make it out to the Arroyo Bridge, also nicknamed "Suicide Bridge". there are a ton of gaps to fly through but if you happen to crash, go down or lose video in between the arches your quad is not coming down. and there's no way anyone is climbing up there. it's nicknamed suicide bridge because back in day people would commit suicide by jumping off of it. but I think the name fits for flying quads through it also, cause like I said if you go down in between the arches you can kiss your quad good bye. 


Edit: In the crash compilation at the end of the video I clipped the edge of the bridge, and came down pretty hard. I cracked both the top and bottom plate of my QAV-R. but if I would've hit the bridge any higher I would've probably have had one less quad in my collection.

Sweet flying, thou i'd be tempted to cut your head off by flying through the hole you are standing next to Smile i was watching the video and "why is he not flying there" few seconds later i see you and your colleague standing next to it
looks like a nice gate/crash spot

also i see that you have mastered "my" landing pattern Smile
All the best
