Nice to see our cameras survived the carnage boys, GG 😎
Great job Insta360!
underrated comment
Same
THE REAL INSTA360?
Yeah they've only done about a million episodes there
Kinda miss the tower, would love to see you drop some stuff from there again!
Really what more could they possibly do there?
@monster they could do more drop competitions and things of that sort, I think that would be entertaining:]
@monster The boys would at least not have to deal with a troll helicopter pilot..
Tower is dead content they only go up from here on
I miss the old HR. I get they have to innovate but I miss the tower and old house viddys
Editor jack deserves a raise for this video. Efficient and fast-paced so the action was non-stop, and the quality and comedic timing of the bits with the 360 cam, KFC references, etc. we’re impeccable.
Shout out to Editor Jack for always doing amazing work with the cameras amidst the mayhem of the boys. Also shoutout to the boys for making what must be an incredibly fun workplace!
He is the goat of new age tech
Man, you've really managed to upgrade your wiffle bat chopper. It's actually flying now!
“We’ve put helicopter blades on our baseball bat machine!”
STANFORD: "He's missing left, right, and center...well just left and right. You can't miss center."
Also STANFORD: *absolutely misses center.*
It appears in our game of darts you can miss centre 😂
I was thinking the same thing!
@How Ridiculous That center miss... Honestly more surprised it didn't hit anything.
Just like the oz bowling attack
Accuracy when throwing something out of a helicopter is tougher than you would expect. But I agree, some of these misses were unacceptable...do better...lol
6:32 "That looks good"
Misses by 30 meters
Love how optimistic these guys are 😂
It’s surprising how good a drop can look when you’re up that high haha
@How Ridiculous Yeah angles can mess your perception quite a lot, we'll need a "Science with Gauson" about angles and perception soon! 🤣
@Vileshrine The distance is far, and the angle looks small but is actually quite wide
Or "opticmisty" 🤓
Herron slipping in the “THAT’S UN-FORTUNATE” like we wouldn’t notice 😂
Edit - Didn’t wait long enough for the “pound it…see ya!”
i'd gone through maybe 100 comments before finding this...
Also slipped a noggin in there
I love the “quack” after every miss. Has me in tears every time. I’m such a big kid but thats the best way to be 😂😂😂
Lol same
The calls to Dude Perfect with the "that's unfortunate" and the "pound it noggin see ya" were great. I can't wait to see what you guys have in store to take back the basketball record!
The quacks got me good, well done Scott. 🤣🤣🤣
Oh, and Scott eating the cream from the cake and replacing the top layer is priceless.
Epic video as always. So entertaining. As a man that played with lawn darts before they were banned, I was disappointed that it didn’t hit anything 😂
This one was a little anti-climactic - not enough hits! Guys, please note how often the Tower is mentioned in the comments - can we have some more Ridiculousness there, please?!?
rather boring for a HR video
tower is not dynamic and completely played out by now
Luckily, they said they're filming there again soon!
Not enough hits? You're out of your mind
Legit man, should have gone lower for the last round and halved the points
great video lads it was very entertaining and fun to watch you guys should do some more stuff at the tower because that is the OG spot for stuff and we miss it bring it back soon! :)
Every new HR video is like a Christmas present.
Back to the tower lads and make a giant slingshot.... fire things that have a GPS tracker in them and see what goes furthest 🎉😋. Always following all the way from Ireland 🇮🇪 🤙
Damn, I didn't know helicopters were 1000 feet long these days. Modern technology really is mind blowing.
I'm real excited to see some more darts. normal sized or giant. Darts are awesome
After watching Cleetus Mcfarland with his helicopter training, it's incredibly difficult to get near ground targets.
The fact the pilot could stay *that* close is nothing short of impressive. I'm willing to bet he spent a significant amount of time flying in the military.
After seeing many videos involving the bowling ball and a trampoline van we just admire how easy he made hitting that on the very very first drop
They should have painted a target on the grass so you get some points for missing objects but still getting closer to the center.
Would love to see more 360 camera videos at the tower!
I would love to see more content like that. Maybe even at the tower, that was so cool
I have to say, I've missed u blokes. So great to see you guys again, I hope that you guys are well. Thank you for your energy and enthusiasm, it is absolutely contagious. Have a great weekend blokes❤
I love the quacks on each miss. 😂 way to go Jack!
I just want to say, I’ve watched you guys for the last few years, and I’ve loved every second of it, keep up the great work! So fun to watch
I'd love to see you guys compare dropping heavy solid cube objects vs heavy round things.
Congrats Herron. Actually anyone that get in a helicopter and hangs out to drop used items from 300 to 1000 feet should be congratulated or insane. I’m glad you have fun doing it. You shouldn’t push objects away, I notice they went further. Try just dropping straight down next time. Of course if it was even a little windy or a breeze can make a difference.
These Lads are amazing and it is great to see them just having fun and a good time. The level to the videos are crazy to like custom built things and helicopters which everyone should appreciate the commitment they put into the videos.
And the cost. Renting a helicopter isn't cheap
I just had a baby and been watching your vids during recovery. I was not expecting to laugh so much this vid but all those 360 shots had me cracking up😂 great for the soul, not so great on the abdominal stitches🥴
These are the youtubers im most jealous of. No science, no build videos just pure chaos😂
As a drummer, seeing those cymbals at risk in the middle was an emotional roller coaster 😂😂
Why yes...I actually have played darts from a helicopter...lol. While in the Military, part of my "job" was to drop sensors, shaped like very large lawn darts, out of the door or ramp from various helicopters on a weekly basis... from what I recall, conditions allowing, we would generally fly 80 knots at 500 ft so our aiming point was consistent. We would drop 3 to 5 sensors in a "string" with the preferred impact sites marked on a map and a team member working as a "plotter" to record actual impact point so we could adjust the distance figure in our computations.....this was all Pre-GPS
In an attempt to find submarines that you’re never going to find 😎 - subs for life baby
@Kevin Johnson ...though we did do some drop training while at sea just to maintain our flight hours, the sensors "We" dropped were seismic sensors....No Subs involved, just enemy troops, trucks and tanks. When we weren't deploying them by air, we would sneak in and place them by hand...other designs of course (seismic, infrared, magnetic, audio)
Missing a field full of stuff from directly above is kind of impressive 😂
Love the Dude Perfect references!! Hinting at a collab soon? You guys are awesome as always 😊
You guys usually take great safety precautions but noticed that there wasn't too many with the fire extinguisher... high pressure item when smashed OPEN could have ended up in someone's face. So stay safe and continue making awesome content like this!
Depressurized.
The duck quack when the objects missed was hysterical. I guess it's tougher than it looks to hit a spot from a chopper. Seems like the way to go would be to hover over the target and just release rather than hoiking it out the door. That parabolic fall path is hard to judge.
Really was looking forward to seeing how far that last giant dart went into the ground.
With that many cameras running, I would love to see the storage solution you are using one of these days.
I can’t imagine how hard it must’ve been to get the giant dart out of the ground after dropping it from 1000 ft 😅
You should build a giant canon to shoot random stuff.
I really like the idea of a giant cartoon-style circus canon with crazy power.
It's the second time I'm suggesting this.
Never fails to make me laugh. Great video. 😂
You would think they would have excellent drop skills by now haha
I don’t know why but the video of Stanford feeding Herron playing COD is just one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen
These vids just keep on getting crazier and crazier. Keep up the good work and God bless!
This video is the perfect example of why humor is a universal language that brings people together
Grown men just having fun - got to love it
"Grown men just having fun.." and making a living from it. Definitely gotta love it.
@William Walshnow who are you calling „grown men“ 😂
You look like airrack
yea just making the same content over an over and over...and over
@K-RAY I disagree
The 360 camera is clutch! The invisible selfie stick is cool too.
Y'all are REALLY cool, Brett, Derek, and Scott!! 😃 I LOVE y'all's videos!! 😃
Okay I have an absurd idea for your next series' of destruction: Ski jumps. Have you ever seen that clip from some Japanese show where they launch various tires off of a giant ski jump? I wanna see something like that. It would be awesome!
I think most of the problem was a mix of the helo being too far off to one side of the target area... and items were being THROWN from the helo, imparting lateral velocity which was then compounded by wind resistance. Something dropped from directly above the target area and DROPPED instead of thrown would have stood a much better chance of at least landing in the target area.
I miss you guys doing videos at the tower.
Chuffed that Herron wins one! I could swear he gets the short end of the stick most often! Good work, all!
"I dropped my guts
... It's bad" 😂😂😂 only on HR do we get this quality content!
Well, they’ve gone from great weekly videos to waiting two weeks to watch them miss a bunch of stuff. Up your game, boys.
that's your comment, after all they have given us for free for how many years lmao, dang dude
Well done you 3, you are always creative whatever comes into your mind. 😂
The quack at every miss had me quackin up the whole time 😂
These are the things that we all dreamed of growing up. These guys know how to make dreams a reality ❤
YES!
How Ridiculous dropping ridiculous things from ridiculous heights! Back to the good stuff!!
Dang it now i want to play actual darts again. Thanks guys 😂
I feel the videos are all a bit fast paced, I appreciate the slower format they used to have. I have an idea also maybe a family retreat with fans to do some cool high drops would be awesome
I just asked for a round 2 of the highflyer dart game the other day and..... this beut of a video comes out!!! Thanks HR, I feel heard 😁
This looks so much fun and thanks HR 🤗👍
You guys are awesome. Keep the videos coming.
THIS IS EPIC! LOVE THIS CHANNEL GUYS NEVER STOP DOING THIS
The random eating and food references. Being with HR must make you hungry.😂
Wow two Dude perfect shout outs! “That’s unfortunate” and “Pound it, See ya!” Love it! How have you two not done a true co-lab yet?
Maybe using a line with a weight on tied to the end would provide more accurate hits since it can give the helicopter pilot a way to see how close to the targets he is. Lower the line from the copter when at the target area to help prevent it from swinging. Let the weight hit the ground then raise it back up a bit would also help keep it from swinging.
I hope you guys are using a land air coordinator to find out whether the chopper is actually above the target for all three of you as you let the objects fly
Always a good day with an HR video
Awesome video, keep up the great content you legends 💪🏼
Try ... Mortar Cannons ... (something like it) to aim on to targets. Dropping with a heli seems to create too much wind interference ... and the tower is a lot of climbing..
Mortars ... would be easier. Maybe other things like an air piston.. Air cannon.. Trebuchet ? ...
The target attempts would be fun to see a hit.... but so would the splatter of random objects onto ground.
=) Have fun with it!! .. 44
Shoutout to Phillip the pilot for all the smooth flying
Really wanted to see the foxtails for flying. Hope that gets brought back later.
Don't think we missed that joke for the dude perfect guys! lol yes, a 20Kg sandbag would be tough on the noggen.
Im excited for this video. If destruction is in the same sentence as darts you know it will be great. 😮👍
We keep missing. Let's go higher and double the point value..... I'm here for destruction and slowies. As much as I appreciate a good duck quack this long awaited episode did not deliver. New episode dropping this week?
I knew I'd never get through a minute of a HR video without blatant advertising
An actual dart game from a helicopter with the giant darts on a big dart board painted in the grass. Thanks!
You guys should make more of those giant darts and a dartboard to go with them and play darts from a high up place.
Imagine this sort of thing from the helicopter, but with a dartboard 100 feet across.
Too many of the best projectiles missed entirely. Everything that missed should have been dropped until it hit something. The dart was impressive even as a miss, though.
Yeh was a bummer. We only had a limited time with the chopper so we tried to pump out the drops to hit as much as possible. Wish we’d hit more but maybe we just got really lucky at the dam last time 🤷🏻♂️ could be fun to play it with a slightly diff format at the tower, maybe if an item gets hit it’s points are gone? 😬
@How Ridiculous still was fun, you guys always brighten my day no matter how the video ends up. Maybe next time you can fire a bow and arrow at giant balloons from the Helicopter.
@How Ridiculous yea points are gone is a great strat. fantastic format
@How Ridiculous points are gone cause the item explodes!!
@How Ridiculous This is the big reason why I miss the tower. If you guys missed it was easier with the tower to just drop the projectile again... but I understand the limitations of the tower too, especially with drop height.
This kind of stuff is always over the top and I live for it
Love the vids guys but enjoy the tower drops are more exciting, more action. Looking forward to the next vid Lads. 👏
The pause at 4:37 should be shown to musicians as a perfect example of how powerful silence can be.
you guys just get better and better
Id think you guys would benifit from taking wind speed and direction from the ground, relayed to each object dropping participant?
Or maybe fit a drone with an Anemometer half way between the ground and the helicopter? Not sure if that would work unless you were able to keep it stable in one spot. GPS capable drone?
Why did they stop the tower videos, those were great.
I just want to thank you guys. Your video has helped me through such a dark time in my life
At this point its better to get one of the heavy duty drones to carry things in the sky and then drop, helicopter and Cleetus is always a treat but conditions are to unpredictable
Love the vids, and the energy keep it up
At these heights it might not be too much help, but you guys could bring a wind sock for reference! Just an idea.
You three are certified goobers! 😂
Love how people can watch a 16 minute video in like 10 minutes.
Also you three are crazy, because of the whole going really high up thing
Adding the 'Duck Quack' sound effect for failures is brilliant!
Love the old vids with background set up footage and banter between you Guys.
Great idea trying the chopper out boys, that couldn't have been cheap $$$ but could you guys try a redemption round 3 back at the dam, please 😁
Love you guys, God bless.
just a thought, instead of increasing height, should have done low "bombing runs" to throw the items. The wind seemed to play a pretty big factor as far as accuracy was concerned. Simply increase speed for the "fly by" drops to increase difficulty.
Wait, how did you spell tyre? 😂
