We look forward to seeing more from this talented pilot, who earned himself a spot on the FPV Pilots to Watch list in May of 2019.

The high definition footage, stunning location, and excellent framing make this a BMX by first person view (FPV) video to remember. Brought to us by AirVuz contributor and FPV pilot motionpilot, we’ll trail a biker as he takes on some of the most famous mountains in the world, the Swiss Alps. Enjoy the close up, mode setting shots before taking the ride down the mountain.  Well-shot and -edited, this video was an easy choice to place on the AirVuz FPV Pilots to Watch list in November of 2019.  

Flylifeco has made quite a name for himself in the Colorado FPV crowd. His mountain, bridge, snow-covered peaks and other locations are almost trade secrets at this point due to how much recognition he deservedly gets over his cinematic pieces. This time around he’s following a mountain biker as he shreds down the rocky cliff alongside “oceans of Aspens.” It’s a great tracking piece with plenty of ghost branches to avoid along the way; no surprise, this video was picked for the FPV Pilots to Watch list in August, 2019.

AirVuz contributor and first person view (FPV) Fincky has taken it up a notch yet again with this mad FPV edit of mountain biking rider Jey Marechal. His proximity work with both the terrain and the biker is some of the best we’ve seen. His FPV navigation skills are clearly on full display as Jey takes the black dirt mountain top at top-speed with Fincky close behind, giving us viewers a cinematic take only action sports FPV can provide.  This video was picked for the FPV Pilots to Watch list in September, 2020.

Red Bull Athlete Tyler Bereman is one of the world's top practitioners of the art of freestyle motocross - FMX, for short.  And who better to film this legendary rider performing his aerial tricks than JohnnyFPV - one of the world's top FPV drone pilots?  Who indeed?!  Check out the action in this short but spectacular piece.  Notice how close the quad is able to get to the rider, the chaser and the chase within just inches of each other.  Not surprisingly, this video was tapped for the FPV Pilots to Watch list in August, 2020.  

The impressive jumps and stunts witnessed in FMX (Freestyle Motocross) make it a fantastic sport for spectators, but we all know the best way to take it in is with a drone like GLDCreative's racing quad. In this killer edit, he chases the ride around X Games medalists Taka Hagashino and Jerryd McNeil.  These are two of the best in the world at their trade, and they participated in the X Games in Minneapolis (also home to AirVuz HQ) in 2019. For all of this and more, GLDCreative was added to our Pilots to Watch list in January, 2020!

You'll want to watch this video by top AirVuz contributor and first person view (FPV) pilot Shikijo all the way through to see why we picked it for the FPV Pilots to Watch list in July of 2021.  The video follows professional mountain biker Sebastien Baruzzo on a trail through the woods in France.  The riding is impressive, but what will truly amaze you is the footage beginning at around the 1:00 mark.  Here, he adds a miniature "flamethrower" to his bike, which has to be seen to be believed!  

The Drone Video Awards Award-Winning pilot in the FPV Freestyle Technical category, Tomz FPV knows how to throw it down when it comes to ripping through any and all terrain with agility and style. This time around he is shredding down the mountain side with MTB rider Killian Bron and Red Bull France. He’s got his flow through the hillside down so well that he’ll flip it and reverse it through the terrain, getting far too close to the top biker. Make sure you stick around for the fun twist in the final frame. 

Top AirVuz contributor and pilot haussmannvisuals brings us this excellent first person view (FPV) drone video of an epic downhill mountain bike chase.  The the dirt track runs through a forest alongside a river, with many jumps as well as lateral "hazards" like tree branches to keep the bike rider and the talented drone pilot following him on their collective toes.  Well worth a watch, this video was picked by the AirVuz editorial staff for the FPV Pilots to Watch list in early May of 2023.  

AirVuz contributor and first person view (FPV) pilot nik.scherer earned himself a spot on the FPV Pilots to Watch list in December, 2020 with this amazing video featuring a top professional mountain biker.   He filmed MTB pro Niklas Schehl tearing it up on a course near Freiburg im Breisgau, near the edge of the Black Forest in the western German state of Baden-Württemberg.  The video does an excellent job of combining exciting chase footage with some highly cinematic shots of this fabled forest.  

It’s a high-flying, free-wheeling, epic adventure that AirVuz contributor and first person view (FPV) drone pilot Fornell FPV is taking us on. He’s got those up close and personal shots we’re always looking for when first person view pilots trail motocross athletes. These riders will send it over jump after jump, flipping and whipping their bikes around like they’re light as a feather while Fornell FPV tracks them with his mini quad. This flight earned him an AirVuz FPV Pilots to Watch now.

If you've ever witnessed a Nitro Circus event, you know those guys DO NOT hold back, and it turns out, neither does FPV pilot Ruben Caser.  He showed interest in pairing their fearless stunts with his finely tuned flying, and the final product - this video - shows the reward for their collaboration. Watch as BMW daredevils Kurtis Downs, Ryan Williams and Dusty Wygle get chased by those boss freestyle moves, proving that Ruben Caser is becoming a real force in the AirVuz FPV community.

It can sometimes be hard to tell who's having more fun when an FPV pilot like Biceps&Rouflaket chases down subjects like motocross champion Victor Levergne with his racing drone.  Watch the bike cruise around the dirt trail while the drone keeps pace, and then breaks off to make a few tricks of its own.  Of course, the treelined French countryside offers the best trails, and Biceps&Rouflaket knew just how to pull the whole scene together, and for that, we added him to our roster of FPV Pilots to Watch on AirVuz in February 2020.

These guys make poppin’ wheelies look as easy as riding a bike and we’re not talking about the kind of bikes featured in this exciting first person view (FPV) drone video by AirVuz contributor and FPV pilot Banner_Drones. The motorcycle riders in this video are stunt artists, not only driving on a solo wheel for long stretches but repositioning their legs and stance as they go. It is pretty intense, made all the more so by the tight tracking Banner_Drones is doing with his mini quad.

Dig that slow-motion, up-close-and-personal style of FPV flying? Pilot prisvanrees will bring it to you in this FPV drone by mountain bike tracking video. He’ll set the scene by showing off the tricked-out Red Bull trucks parked around the event, then get right into the of things, following riders as they take to the dirt mounds and fly high off the course jumps. The slow-motion effect he’ll add in post-production brings the whole flight just one level higher, earning himself a spot on the FPV Pilots to Watch list in May of 2019.

Top AirVuz contributor and first person view (FPV) drone pilot chrissbergan earned a spot on the FPV Pilots to Watch list in July of 2023 with this marvelous video of some very talented enduro riders tackling the volcanic Mt. Batur on the Indonesian island of Bali.  Still very much active, Batur is located a bit to the northwest of Mt. Agung, in the north-central part of the island.  The volcano has a peak altitude of about 5.6k ft. above sea level (about 1.7k m), a bit over half as tall as Mt. Agung.  

Enduro motorcycles are off-road racing bikes used in “enduros,” long-distance, cross-country, timed trial competitions. They often feature oversized gas tanks, sump protectors, and more durable components than other racing bikes.  In this excellent first person view (FPV) drone video, AirVuz contributor and FPV pilot eVolvE FPV used his mini racing quad to rip up the dirt behind an obviously very talented enduro biker, nearly crashing in to him several times due to his insanely close proximity flying. 

Follow a mountain biker with a first person view (FPV) racing drone in this fantastic piece by new AirVuz contributor and FPV pilot Timow.  The video tracks a very skilled rider working the mountainous terrain of the state, which lies in the heart of Central Mexico.  Most of the state is covered by the mountains and plateaus of the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt, which (as the name suggests) forms an east-west "belt" across the middle of the country.  This video was picked as a Finalist for the Drone Video of the Week contest in July, 2021.

Check out this very impressive first person view (FPV) video of a champion motocross (MX) rider, compliments of AirVuz contributor and FPV pilot flumz fpv.  The biker is Pierre Goupillon, who won the 2021 and 2022 French MX championships.  He is shown here riding his KTM 250 cc bike, taking on a course somewhere in Southern France.  This video, which features incredible slo-mo shots of some epic aerial stunts, was picked by the AirVuz editorial staff for the FPV Pilots to Watch list in Februay of 2023.  

Collaborating with a dynamic mountain biker, FPV pilot Upsidedown FPV brings us this epic mini quad video. A German World Cup circuit rider, Jasper Jauch is an impressive athlete. Pilot and rider met at a closed course in Bavaria, Germany to capture this fantastic chase through the woods.  Watch as pilot and biker a like twist, fly and nearly crash down the dominating hillside, all in dynamic, high-definition quality.  This video was selected for the AirVuz FPV Pilots to Watch list in May of 2019.

When Dutch motocross club Bleiswijk invited AirVuz contributor and first person view (FPV) pilot ShaggyFPV out to track their practice run, he jumped at the opportunity. Using a 5-inch Avantquad Soko frame with the GoPro Hero 6, the DRL pilot got to work cutting edges and drifting so close behind the world-class riders that it looks like there’s an inevitable crash somewhere in this video. There isn’t, it’s silky smooth and steady flying made even smoother in post thanks to the Reelsteady GO software.

It’s amazing how close mini quads can get to motorcycles. The ability to capture all of the heart-pounding, gravity-defying, ridiculously fast action is something we’ve never seen before - at least not with such accuracy and precision. The first person view flying seen in this chase-down video by pilot andresbung is a perfect example. He’s able to avoid the sand being kicked up at his camera’s lens while keeping top speed down the straightaways and leaping high over the jumps behind the bikers. 

Fly right in the face of epic with AirVuz contributor and first person view (FPV) drone pilot Stephen Peot's cinematic FPV motocross flight! The insane skills of both the freestyle motocross bikers and the FPV pilot come together in perfect synthesis in this killer drone video.

Europe's Alps Mountains are becoming something of a magnet for extreme mountain biking.  The resort areas which are packed with skiers in the winter months now sport mountain biking courses to draw summer traffic.  AirVuz contributor OllieFPV gives us a first person view (FPV) mini-drone view of this phenomenon in this fantastic piece from the Bike Park of Châtel, near the French/Swiss border.  Featuring some incredible MTB by FPV footage, this video was picked for the FPV Pilots to Watch list in August, 2020.

Prepare to be amazed by these incredible first person view (FPV) drone shots of a talented freestyle motocross (FMX) rider by content creator and FPV pilot Spoony J.  While these fast-moving mini drones have proven to be perfect platforms for viewing this extreme sport, full-speed footage still fails to capture the athleticism and skill required to perform aerial tricks during their insane jumps; by slowing it all down, you'll appreciate how good these guys are.  This video was picked for the FPV Pilots to Watch list in June of 2021. 

A bike ramp in the woods forms the perfect backdrop for this outstanding first person view (FPV) drone video by AirVuz contributor and FPV pilot Nick Land.  He used his FPV mini-drone to film to chase a BMX biker flying off the ramp and performing some very impressive mid-air tricks.  It's a great example of the power of FPV mini-drones to capture some of the most difficult-to-film action sports.  It also won this talented FPV pilot a spot on the AirVuz FPV Pilots to Watch list in July of 2020.

Top AirVuz contributor and first person view (FPV) pilot nezartash brings us this excellent video created while chasing a very talented motorcycle stunt rider.  The video was filmed with both a (gimbal-stabilized) DJI Air 2S drone as well as a GoPro Hero 9 action camera attached to a seven inch FPV quad.  The two perspectives make for a highly cinematic viewing experience, with the DJI drone providing "setup" shots of the area filmed.  This video was picked for the AirVuz FPV Pilots to Watch list in mid-November of 2021.  

Name a better way to watch action sports like motocross than through the lens of a first person view (FPV) mini quad. We’ll wait. If you’re still thinking of an answer, just check out this upload by talented AirVuz contributors and FPV mini quad pilots Team Farins who loaded up and ripped it out with motocross athlete Cristian Bonanni. They’ll get frighteningly close to his bike and take hit after hit from the dirt he rips up behind his tires. Now that it has been done, it's the only way to watch motocross. 

Check out this epic first person view (FPV) drone dirt bike chasing scene, compliments of AirVuz contributor and FPV pilot Emiliano Canales.  He used the new GoPro Hero 10, the latest from the leading action camera company.  The video was shot in the sand dunes somewhere near an ocean, which you'll see in the background.  The new camera brings a higher level of built-in stabilization, which you will see come through in the video.  This video was picked for the AirVuz FPV Pilots to Watch list in mid-November of 2021.  

Filming freestyle motocross (FMX) riders with a first person view (FPV) drone is all about getting up close to see the in-air stunts that these talented riders perform.  And it's tough to get much closer than top AirVuz contributor and FPV pilot craig_dt does in this epic video.  Filmed at an FMX course in Russia, he will give you a perspective on this exciting sport that is second to none.  For his efforts, our talented content creator was again awarded a spot on the FPV Pilots to Watch list, this time at the end of August, 2020.

Freestyle motocross - FMX for short - is one of the most demanding two-wheel action sports.  It's all about the stunts and tricks, and filming it from a stationary camera just doesn't do it justice.  Even gimbal-stabilized aerial videography platforms like the DJI Mavic series have serious limitations due to their slower speeds and inability to get close to the subject.  That's where FPV mini-drones come in.  Witness this epic piece by AirVuz contributor VerJan FPV, who filmed a very talented FMX rider performing some mind-blowing tricks.

Top contributor and first person view (FPV) pilot nikofilmz is a master at the difficult art of dynamic FPV - chasing moving "subjects".  It's one of the toughest styles of FPV flight, and it requires a kind of "sixth sense" on the part of the pilot to anticipate where the "target" is moving so as to be able to keep it in frame.  In this excellent piece, he uses a "cinewhoop" style micro-drone to track a very adept BMX rider tackling a challenging course, and with a single shot.  This video was featured on the AirVuz social media pages.  

Follow a very skilled mountain bike rider through the streets of the Mexican town of Taxco in this fantastic first person view (FPV) piece by AirVuz contributor and FPV pilot Timow.  Taxco lies deep in the interior of the state of Guerrero, a little over 100 mi. (around 170 km) southwest of Mexico City.  Taxco was once one of the largest sources of silver during the Colonial period.  This video earned our talented content creator a spot on the FPV Pilots to Watch list in July of 2021.  

Lee Bowers is one of the world's top motorcycle stunt riders.  He has a Guiness Book of World Records spot to his name, and he's won the UK's freestyle championship on multiple occasions.  What better way to see this very brave and very talented rider than through the perspective of a first person view (FPV) mini-drone?  We can't think of a better way to appreciate the skill that goes into riding a motorcycle backwards doing a handstand.  It's thanks to AirVuz contributor Dirty Dishes FPV, who created this highly entertaining FPV video.  

AirVuz contributor and first person view (FPV) drone pilot Epicjfpv used the new GoPro Hero 11 Mini action camra to film a very skilled freeride mountain biker tearing it up in southwestern Utah.  Pilot and rider were in the area, which is set in the canyons and deserts near Zion National Park, for the Red Bull Rampage freeriding competition.  The event, which has been held in this location since 2008 and which draws competitors from all of the world, is generally held in October of every year.  

The bikers featured in this first person view (FPV) drone video are lights-out fast! They hit the dirt track at such an incredible pace that they come within inches of flying off around every corner.  It goes without saying that it's not easy to ride like this, nor is it easy to chase these guys with a mini-quad.  AirVuz contributor and FPV pilot sand fpv pulled it off, creating a highly entertaining video; it's a great example of how FPV drones are allowing us to catch some of these high-octane sports from an entirely new perspective.

When you watch this first person view (FPV) video by top AirVuz contributor and FPV pilot nik.scherer, you'll appreciate why FPV drones are such a perfect match with high performance BMX riding.  He put together some of his best footage from filming German Cross Country team rider Niklas Schehl riding through the Black Forest near the town of Freiburg in southwestern Germany.  This is footage which is literally impossible to capture other than with an FPV mini-drone.  This video was picked for the FPV Pilots to Watch list in October, 2020.

While the title of this video reflects the fact that he's showing off the skills of mountain miker David Romero, the other clear talent is that of FPV drone pilot Flash FPV.  While Romero pushes along the dirt track, Flash FPV shows his dynamic flying and superb manueverability along the trail, all the while carefully dodging branches.  But the short film got another boost in post-production with some great editing to fit the fun chase.  We're impressed by it all and were thrilled to add Flash FPV to our FPV Pilots to Watch list in February 2020.

Top AirVuz contributor FPVFlow used a first person view (FPV) drone to capture the excitement from well-known biking "Enduro" race in the Italian Alps.  The four-day race was held in August, 2022.  The event, which was open to only 85 qualified riders,  runs along the Varaita Valley in the province of Cuneo, in the southwestern part of the Piedmont region, not far from the French border.  This video was picked by the AirVuz editorial staff for the FPV Pilots to Watch list in September of 2022.  

See motocross riders from a brand new angle in this stellar drone chase-down by AirVuz contributor and first person view (FPV) pilot JulienM FPV. He’ll set up the scene with close up shots of the motorcycles, sparkling clean and ready to hit the dirt track. Then, the mini quad pilot will get to work, closely trailing the motocross riders as they navigate the bumpy terrain and cruise down the straightaways. It’s an excellent flight that gives viewers a real taste for what being on one of those bikes would feel like.

Once you've watched motocross via a first person view (FPV) drone, you can't go back to the same old ways of watching the extreme sport. With the frightening proximity we've come to expect from these type of flights, top AirVuz contributor and FPV pilot theflyingshoes kicks it up a notch with some fantastic slow-mo and landscape shots that really give you a feel for the location and intensity of the ride.  As you watch, you will appreciate that there's no other way to get this kind of "up close and personal view" of these athletes.   

We can’t get enough of first person view (FPV) mini-quad pilots shooting extreme sports. The proximity, speed, angles and more make it such an upgraded experience compared to watching footage that was taken with regular cameras.  Talented AirVux contributor and FPV pilot CoddyKay is definitely a pilot to watch when it comes to tracking motocross riders. Watch how he gets up close and personal, often getting caked in dirt, then floats up to give a wider view of the track. Take note, ladies and gents.
