any footages?

Here are a couple

 

[Lon Denard]

Thrice with "modern" drones, several times with my 3DR Solo and dozens of times with old Parrot and Syma drones.

 

[0Kajuna0]

Never a DJI drone. Cheaper ones, dozens of times.

Should specify a type of drone in the poll. Plenty can claim 0 crash with soooo much flight time, but basically this is all on one of these newer generation DJI drones that are pretty easy to maintain a good record. Those that have flown through the development era of drones, home builds or racing drones will have significantly different records.
I’ve had a few bingles, most while developing VTOL platforms, trying to get transition from hover to forward flight where lift comes from wings

im actually interested in getting into quad racing, any advice?

Yes, be prepared to start again, flying a racing quad was a whole different ball game to me. In fact, I’ve just sold it because the learning curve to enjoyment ratio just wasn’t there. I was much too used to having the Mavic look after me if I got into trouble! I appreciate the purists might baulk at this but I prefer the loving arms of my Mavic
