Covid-19 has shut down nearly every professional sport across the country here in the US. We are at a time of social isolation, quarantine, and general inactivity. What brings me joy and hope in all of this is the time I spend with others in my community on Velocidrone, one of the premier drone simulators available today. The Quarantine Masters series hosted by Team BlackSheep is a bright spot in my life right now. We race nearly every day and often have 6 countries across the world represented in a heat with 6 pilots. It's rather incredible when one stops to think about how powerful eSports is to gather. I am beyond grateful for folks like Colby Curtola - aka SFPV - who does an INCREDIBLE job organizing our community, building maps, and managing events (beside ripping a quality freestyle whoop on the sim with me regularly). There are many others, like Ashley Davis, founder of Velicidrone, and Trappy, lead at Team BlackSheep, who have stepped up in this time to bring us together. If you want to start racing or flying fpv, I would heavily recommend joining the Velocidrone community. Big shoutout to Hydra FPV for making RAPID and unparalleled development to facilitate our transition as a community to eSports. There's a lot of things happening right now and I expect our community to flourish in this period. Cheers and hope you all stay well @intent2bhuman
