Luck or Skill? Threading the Needle with a Drone



We have always loved watching tires rolling around on their own, especially downhill where they can get up some impressive speed. This fascination even gave us a feature-length movie in 2011 titled Rubber. The guys from How Ridiculous had fun rolling tires down a hillside in New Zealand, and in one brief sequence, actually flew a drone through a rolling tire! They were as surprised as we are that it worked. Was it skill or just plain luck? It really doesn't matter as long as you have the footage. Still, you've got to have a bit of confidence to even attempt such a trick. That's special, but if you want more, you can see the extended sequence below.



An extended cut at only 12 minutes surprised me. I would post more of these guys' shenanigans if their videos weren't mostly around a half-hour long. A good time was had by all. -via Born in Space
