12-Hour: Rossy’s Specialist Chopper

7 years ago | Words: Andy Wigan | Photos: Jarrad Duffy

It seems like a video is not a video these days without the obligatory drone footage. Which is why Transmoto’s video production team had armed themselves with a couple of eHang Ghostdrones to make sure we got an aerial perspective of the 2017 12-Hour. But when Northstar Pastoral’s Colin Ross – a long-time KTM desert-racing sponsor, and entrant in this year’s event – mentioned that one of his mates from Specialist Helicopters would be popping in on Sunday morning, and offered our production team an aerial lap or two of the course, it took our aerial imagery to an all new level. Best of all, it allowed two of Transmoto’s bearded dingos, Robbie Warden and Shane Newman, to shoot an amusing Facebook Live post of the event in progress while hanging out the doors of the whirlybird like a couple of excitable schoolboys.
