3. That was very inspiring. I started flying about a year ago. At 1st I had to be just like everyone on YouTube. Now I'm just flying I will get better with time. Thanks nurk I love watching your videos.

4. Thank you for telling your story Nurkk!! Your journey was the spark in my inspiration to begin flying!!

   Thank you for being such a cool dude! #StayFlying

6. Great video…..I cant believe it took me til today to find it! Thanks for all your great content!!!!

7. Wow… Built my first drone about 3 weeks ago… This is inspiring

8. salut super te vidéo

9. Just came across this one, Paul. What a story you've written for yourself, Sir. I find your content inspiring and informative; and your flight footage is as good as it will ever get – by any pilot. I myself have been playin' the duffer indoors with a KK ET100 in Angle mode for the last 3 years, starting this year to extensively modify the platform to something more current. I have it working better than factory – by a couple of orders of magnitude, if I do say so myself. And, because of your "Up the River" video, I made it a goal to try my hand at getting outside. Well, I've managed an abando session, and a river gorge run myself this year, with more to come. I'm a bit of a hermit, and on a fixed income, so my options are limited, but I am 'flying my own race' here – and lovin' every sortie. Thanks for everything, keep flyin' – and you and your fam stay safe.

10. I watch this all these years later and its still an inspiration to me to keep pushing myself to be better. If you read this Nurk you the man.

11. Maaaaaaan this story. Love it. Truly inspiring.

17. I wanted to start doing FPV cinematic footage soon, but I've never handled a drone. I have a lot of experience in flight simulators but this is another level. I came across this video and man… I'm not into racing but the feeling you describe when racing, and the love you put on your words is really inspiring! thank you for this
