Pro-level freeriding looks even gnarlier from the eye of a fast-moving drone


Bust your barf bag out and hang on to your office chair while your pro motocross rider Tyler Bereman looks straight at Send It City from the perspective of a fast-moving drone being flown by ace aerial camera on Johnny FPV.

A friend who promoted Red Bull’s house of extreme content just posted this and I clicked quickly when I saw that Mr. FPV (real name Johnny Schaer) was involved. His rollercoaster video games are freaking awesome and uniquely swoopy. They also look great on a big screen, so if you have YouTube on your TV, I suggest throwing this on!

Rider Tyler Bereman is apparently talented at steering himself. Here’s a little more context from his summary via Red Bull:

“Bereman is a leading motocross freerider, known as much for his innovative action videos as he is for the enormous whips and quarter pipe he throws in competition. He has won eight X Games medals since 2017, including a gold medal at Moto X Best Whip last summer in Minneapolis. The Southern California native comes from Templeton and trains typically in Murrieta. ”

Hey, I bought my Montero from a guy in Murrieta! I think I should have stuck around and tried to get some driving lessons. (Just kidding, in no way would I jump like that, even before I mulch my hand in that dumb UTV crash.)

The bike Bereman’s in in this video is a KTM 450 SX-F, a fuel-injected thumper (single-cylinder) that KTM claims uses “the lightest 450cc engine” on the motocross engine, which produced 63 horsepower. The drone setup uses a DJI Osmo Action and DJI FPV transmission system.

You can watch some fun high-rez stills from this video game on Red Bull’s page even if you want to dig it a little more.
