I was inspired to set a new personal altitude record so I set out to achieve 12,000 feet. 12k took less time than I expected so I ventured on to 15k. I found out that things got exponentially more difficult as time went on.
DISCLAIMER - I would not recommend anyone attempt this without proper planning. Airspace, weather, air traffic, and hypoxia are all serious concerns.

Heeyyyyy man ur soo cool i always wanted to do this👍
Tucker Gott, this is definatly the most interesting subject of all that we can find on CZcams,
thank you so much for sharing your passion,
Cheer's
I'm biting my fingernails dude I can't believe you're up that high on this single engine wing apparatus
Make sure you dont fly over military bases or you get a 5 star wanted.
Edit : (09/08/20)its been 3 years damn.
life hacked actually you get 4 stars
@Pudsy Super Show
Fascinating...
life hacked 100 like
life hacked just call lester
Demonic Dominic lmao
I'm a grandma who doesn't get around well anymore. So it feels lovely and free to fly with you. Thanks for taking us all for a "spin"!!!
Susan Vaughan this comment is the most wholesome thing I’ve ever read
@@TommyH03 Your parents did a real crappy job raising you. What did you to to lose your allowance LOL
@@TommyH03 I think you need to do some more research on "ribald humor" cuz the point is to be funny.
THGamer why you gotta complain she just said something nice. Delinquents these days
@@notisean5863 what did he say lol
Honestly the craziest part about this was the surprise of how close NYC and Philly are, he can literally see both at less than 10k feet and the ocean
It’s crazy how high my anxiety gets watching these videos lol
Taking social distancing to the extreme.
This was in 2016 Corona wasn’t even a thing back then

my dude is in a loud chair in the sky and just talking to us like he's not in a loud chair in the sky
Whoa Look Out! 😂exactly
LOL
Yeah think of that if the engine fails it's a fast drop down straight down
@@kingjames7273 well he has a parachute on his back soo
@@kingjames7273 he explains in the video that if the engine fails he just glides back down. He even turned the engine off once he got to 15000 feet and juat glided down.
"Don't wanna go too crazy"
*almost goes upside down at +10000 feet
Ikr exactly what I was thinking lol.
Lol, anxiety overload.
Better than going upside down at 1000 feet
That is insane! When my instructor and I took a Schweizer 2-33 up to 5000 ft out of Bedminster quite a few years ago, we were getting up into some busy airspace. Can't imagine being too confident about going this high in an ultralight! As for oxygen, well, I've been to the peak of Mauna Kea and did fine, but not a good idea to linger up there too long when your judgment matters.
Funny thing is that you *DROVE* to the top of Mauna Kea!!! At 12,000 ft, they said it was higher than the island hopper 727's which ascend to 10k, then immediately start descending!
Amazing place, isn't it?!? It looks like a moonscape. And there is a silver colored flower that only grows at the top of this mountain!
I couldn't recommend it more to anyone else!
Doesn't want to go too Crazy
Flies to 15000 ft on a Chair Fan.
Rony Shawkat chair fan🤣
Chair fan lmao
Haha!! 😂😂
Chair fan!!
f+=k chair fan. his is a backpack fan
"My engine's sounding funny...I think I'll climb another 5000 feet."
Wouldn’t matter at that point I guess lol
It's just the engine running richer as the air thins
Wasn't there a cable television series called "I Shouldn't Be Alive?" Guy crashed one of these on it. Broke his legs in the middle of nowhere.
As long as his parachute doesn't rip.
I was your 1000th like
You are friggen LITERALLY living my dream, and especially at this age.
Doing tandem from 1700mts from Babadağ (dead sea, Muğla, Turkey) 4 times with a few wing overs and spirals relying on the pilot while I record it on video and I thought I was the adrenaline junkie...
This is exactly why I want to learn PPG so I can literally fly anywhere from anywhere followed by some adrenaline rush...
I just wish that I was in the seat in front of you to experience it.
Pál Takàts is my idol and now you SIR, with what you have accomplished are my 2nd that I will follow...
Keep living people's dreams, let nothing stop you.
Although this video is six years old it's still very impressive of your skill-set and your nerve of steel. Happy paramotoring and stay safe.
"Attention ladies and gentleman we are now at 15,000 feet. If you look out your left side you will see a man with a lawnmower on his back."
I like that
Next announcement from the capt is last call for alcohol
hahah
ahahahhahahahhahah
Cole Houlden very funny 😆
I bet it’s comforting knowing your biggest fan is always right behind you!!
Holy shit your a genius... 🤣
Good shit dude
Bruh
i’m laughing uncontrollably
This is an underrated comment 😂
You do a great job describing what you are doing and why for those of us that have no idea, great job thanks!
What an inspiration, young man! Keep living adventurously, and always be safe.
At this point you may as well fly up the the International Space Station and scare the crap out of them by knocking on the window!
The ISS is almost 10 times higher than this
@Tyler Barlow Better pack a sandwich then.
lol
The ISS is 87 times higher up bro
damn i read it as 131k not 1.3 million. youre right
Imagine your in a plane and you see this guy fly by
ColterN10 then gets swallowed by the turbine 😂
Lol
zoom
I'd swear loudly and curse the fact that any moron can just do this without even a VHF radio or a transponder and leave the responsibility for traffic avoidance entirely in the hands of those of us who actually put in the time and effort to earn an actual pilot's licence, including how to avoid mid-air collisions, just to end up with this dude coming through the cockpit window like some flying moose from hell at 120 knots and killing me...
Seeing him eat a hamburger in the air😂
That was definitely insane! Amazing experience even just to watch. Thanks brother!
I got into paramotoring after skydiving once… I love the idea of the higher altitude flights instead of foot dragging. I’m going to go for 10,000 feet tomorrow since that’s where we did our skydiving jump. Looking really forward to it.
So we have vloggers, car vloggers, motovloggers, and now a freakin Paravlogger?! Im Impressed!
Yeah dude!
don't forget kayaks and bicycles i sure theres more
Southern Biker poop vloggers? straight on toilet every video
There are also plane vloggers. Steveo1kinevo.
Southern Biker yoooooooo
This guy took “getting fresh air” to a whole other level
Kingbuns there is less air up there
Juet stop wooshing people it's just not funny
Yes It is ..! I’m doing this shit
Josh Katz actually the oxygen level in the atmosphere doesn’t change based on altitude, however, the phrase comes because your lungs can’t process the air as well at high altitudes🤙🏼
Tucker: what kind of payload can you comfortably carry? Or is that the limit that it's comfortable to carry? My friend is studying atmospheric ecology and currently is doing some work on so called "trace gasses" at specific altitudes. The device weighs about a kilo and maybe 500mm x 800mm x 300mm and is fully automated, 2 buttons, button 1 breaks the seal, button 2 cycles the ventilation fan to saturate the sensors and fill the sample containers. Indicator light goes from red to green and you push button 1 and it self seals and shuts off. It'll come fedex with prepaid return box, and she would ask that you just document the altitude and location over 3000' that it was cycled. She's been paying a Cessna rental & pilot fee out of her own pocket you can imagine the cost. I showed her your channel and she thinks it'll work, so she asked me to ask you, since I subscribe to your channel by her it means we know each other! If this is something you might consider I can send you the specs on the sampling device & some photos, she asks if the aluminum case needs to be drilled for straps or attachment to you or your paraglider assembly that she be permitted to do the drilling for you, even if it needs to be mailed back and forth several times, as she has but one, built it herself. It's beautiful I think, the hydraulic mechanism makes a satisfying "ker.. klunk!" Upon resealing it's airtight portions itself. Anyway if this interests you please let me know, you would be assisting someone who will dedicate her life to ensuring the earth has breathable air for future generations. This altitude air sampling is a large part of her dissertation. All that being said, if there's any chance it would be unsafe for you for some reason, please don't feel that it won't happen if you don't do it, we have other options, including a fully automated version that cycles at a specific altitude she's working on, using a barometer switch, giving it to other recreational flyers who fly things with easier storage, so the fate of the world having air rests not in your hands! I just asked because I subscribe to your channel and this means we know each other (she slaps me in the back of the head upon reading). No I subscribe to your channel so you HAVE to do what I say! (Slaps me again) thanks for reading sorry it's long
I love your videos. I got hooked on them during lockdowns and never stopped!
Wow...thats amazing...my personal best is a mile..nothing more relaxing than shutting down the motor and hearing the breeze and enjoying the scenery on the way back down..👍👌
You actually had a near miss with our spacecraft bro
Average Alien fuck you my balloon from 3 years ago made contact
Hey did you kill me?
Your gonna get probed bro 👽
Greys are the worst, little green men ftw.
Wait do don’t you invade me 1 year ago
Surprised that small engine could lift him that high considering the size of his balls
Jeffro’s dirty country songs gross
Maybe small but they are powerful.
*Slow* *Golfy* 👏
Wolf King you’re either a 10 year old or a female
This is just sooo dumb grow up kid
That was really amazing. You got guts kid! To be the man you got to beat the man. Nobody gonna beat you.....you da man
Dude, I just stumbled on this. That was crazy fun watching you. I admire your passion for what you enjoy.
So this is the guy who takes the photos on google maps
Austin vanzandt huh?
Hahahaha
edward guillen ceo of not understanding the joke
No, google world
Tsm Pump maybe read the name I was talking to idiot
this makes me so fucking nervous just watching it
john jaxon Pretty damn cool tho !
Did you see the curvature of the earth?
For all those flat earthers out there who still think we live on a flat planet
john jaxon nunez nice try its not a curvature carry on lol
Johnny Nunez I am not a flat earther but you realise he is using a go pro? you may want to do a little research on the lenses used. Hint: they make everything elliptical
Luke Nallen I know he is using a go pro. So fast to correct bro !
I asked if he physically seen the earth curve with the naked eye being so high. I should have spelled it out for people like you.
You are crazy man! That was really awesome! Good luck!
Dude , thanks man , for sharing this , I can only imagine , but seeing your video of ya flight was amazing , be safe man , I'm a fan
Flat Earther builds a rocket and get's to 1875 feet....
This guy get's to 15,000 with a sail and a 2 stroke engine.
LMAO. hell yeah man. say it again!!!!
Wilmer Andersson why is that?
Ps, sorry for being so dark about it @wilmer. but people who most of time tell everyone how they should suicide should just do it then. but i assume you ment it as a joke. cheers lol
also the earth is round
at 5,000 feet you can see the curvature of the earth
That’s amazing dude. I would have been scared shitless!! Good on u bro
Well done. Congrats. IMO MUCH more to gain from this than just skydiving- for many reasons. Take care with stressing your health at those altitudes. The lower O2 can sneak up on you and give you a bad day. All the best Regards. You make a lot of people happy just watching you.
"I don't want to get too crazy." ....flips upside-down @_@
he did no such thing.
LOLHICRONO if you watched the video he did go upside down for a sec
He literally called it "Over wing." He went upside down. Multiple times.
10mmPig "at a reasonable altitude " above 3000 feet in the air...
He didn't go upside down you fucktards. It's called hook turns, you can't go upside down with a paraglide. READ or comment about things you know
"I don't want to go too crazy"
*literally does a flip
was about to comment this
True lol
.....Man with his flaming pyre has conquered the wayward breezes,.climbing to tranquility, far above the clouds, conceiving the heavens ,clear of misty shourd. Love this video and all its view you made.many,many thanks.
You are insane and I am envious.
Beautiful flight!
I have to call bullshit. Its impossible to defy gravity with balls that big.
FluffyWhiteBoy best compliment ever
lololol no it wasn't that was probably 60% thrust

nope he would freeze to death
Just wear a space suit

Wish I had found your site a lot sooner. Great flying and congratulations on your height. Like your videos!
Oh what a feeling. Thanks for taking us with you. 💚💛 love from Australia 🇦🇺
Next video: Flying to the Moon on my paramotor.
fly too mars
Lmaoooo
😂😂
Lol, yeah right! Man has never landed on the moon
Lol good shit
"I dont wanna go too crazy" *does barrel roll in parachute*
it's not a parachute
dan man stfu captain correction
gstylez0107 not even a question he pointed out a problem with out a solution
That shit gave me anxiety just watching
The Moon looks amazing also.From the camera angle it's like we're flying. You're right, to be able to lift ourselves off the ground to such heights is Amazing!
Dude that was the coolest vet I've seen in a long time! Totally badass! 👍
"Don't wanna go to crazy" *literally tilts the entire craft upside down*
brien berry same though! Haha
1900s: We will have flying cars in the future
2000s: We tried
LilCesar7 Z he’s literally flying bro
@@shoddyonline But is it a car tho...?
@@M0vess there's flying trikes so, kinda.
@@memistcentral2044 I guess... So
@Austistic Banana XD and thus your comment is meaningless
Awesome. Thanks for the beautiful birds-eye view.
That was an awesome flight, i enjoyed the views and watching you sitting in a chair above the world, fantastic 👍
"I don't wanna go to crazy" - and goes upside down!
Andrii Povkh its impossible to go upside down and still fly. He just moves his body 90° forward, looking down in a bird view and combined with the fisheye effect of the cam it gives the illusion of a full sideturn
Astra Nox U get his point, right?
Astra Nox fuck you
Daniel Borthwick fuck you too
Y'all shut up
"I'm still getting Instagram notifications" lmfao
I love watching your videos. Living vicariously! I’d love to be able to paramotor.
I would to, then I start thinking of all the things that could go wrong in this thing at several thousand feet in air.
Tucker, your so lucky dude. I have a fear of heights but thanks to your video I can enjoy the view. Thank you brother.
WHO:"Stay at least 6 feet away from other people." Tucker: "Bet"
lol
Get reported kid
Russell Zahorik
Why
lol this was filmed 3 years ago bro
Seraphina G Tucker knew what was coming. He could see it from up there.
should air drop toys on xmas..

Great job tucker keep up with your dreams and stay safe.
“Today’s just one of those days”

Yeah, since.. you know, the average joe owns a paraglider. Who doesnt?
Actually it’s spelled fliesyses. Please learn correct granper.
Hoodwinked

Im jealous as hell. You can literally wake up and say "I think ill fly today"
Krytical 1 if odds of death keep you from doing stuff you won't do many interesting things in life.
@@cristianiacob1050 well your pretty much right about that. I'm not really the type to be flying 15,000 feet in the air while being held by a couple of strings.
@DutchGreen Gaming Yes but I dramatically increase the amount of time I have left by staying on the ground where I belong.
@DutchGreen Gaming I am living my life. Happily too. I don't need to be some adrenaline junkie to have fun.
Krytical 1 The risk of dying from risky sports like this is disproportional because of all the strongheaded idiots that do dumb shit and get themselves killed, ie most deaths are caused by negligence and pilot error.
just git gud
Ahh...to be young and fearless. It's unnerving to even watch this video as I'm only familiar with having a large aircraft wrapped around me at that altitude. God bless Tucker.
Love to see more about equipment and see maybe different areas you can fly from.
Bring up some paper airplanes and throw them and then try and follow them down!
I took a large bag of confetti up thermalling one time and threw it out , that was neat with all the floaties around me in a thermal
Experimental Fun I tried that once but my paper airplane folded with the high wind speed, before I could throw it. I either need a better design or thicker paper.
Experimental Fun epic
make a paper plane out of dollar tree foam board, Just draw it up and glue it together with hot glue. Leave the paper on and use some coins as nose weight. Also put in some dihedral and leave some up elevator to keep it stable.
Ross Clements a Flite Test plane
“I got all day to glide down” that statement alone made me feel relaxed
you know your shit bro, and love the adrenaline chasing you do.. awesome
Wow, almost 6 years later and you're making my hass pucker up, and I fly, sort of. Beautiful!
You my friend, you are living life!
This is the perfect way to just get away when you don't want to be around anyone
Yungking 47 how do you do this in NJ? How do you get started?

Thomas the Dank Engine I share a room with a kid who never stops playing videos games. My room isn’t a place to be alone either.
Here comes the sad emo kid
Buy the PPG Bible and study it for weeks on end..then find a local trainer..there are a couple around Jersey.Save up $12 for new gear or $6K for good used gear,then another $2k for training :)
Dude this was the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen!! I cannot wait to do this!!!
That's awesome, this is the second CZcams on the topic I have watch and would love do something this, but will better just to watch you guys.
Imagine looking up in the sky seeing a guy spinning like a helicopter on a fan attached to a parachute...
JordanDaGoat x Merica!
Lol!!!
🤣
imagine that you fly and you start to run out of fuel and you cannot see where you park your car?..lol
I actually saw that once
you should drop one of those army men with the parachute sometime.
john doe drop a whole army of them
Yes that would be ever better.
JimBo' H Nazi Germany confirmed
That would be loitering
Loitering is hanging out.
you sir are crazy and extremely good at what you do.
The quite ride down , has to be the best ever bro , loved that an it's so beautiful man , dam thanks brother . Be safe my frien
Tucker: goes 15000 feet in the sky with a paramoter
Me: still scared to go on a plane
Same
Flying isnt that bad.
I was a little scared before my first time in a jetplane... But right before entering the plane, everything was gone and I was excited like a 6 year old for xmas... As it started to accelerate and finally launched... Wow... I wanted nothing more since then... Great feeling!
First time felt a little weird cause everything is crazy more than you can imagine or experience on Land with a car for example....launch and landing made me laugh actually, cause of the Super crazy acceleration. Landing was funny too smh.
Hope you will find out what its like some day and will have fun 👍🏻🤗😅
Even if it is just a 1h flight
The sight you get is great and made me loose some tears... You actually feel free..... 👍🏻
Like with most things you get accustomed to heights over time.
737 Max is waiting for you
Hello Heillo
Bruh no
I would choose this paramotor glider over a supercar
saad salman or you could just get the supercar and sell it and buy yourself a paramotor for £2k
Me too
And it’s way cheaper
Supercars are normally unreliable
They r only like 2k you can sell the supercar and buy the paramotor but I see what u mean
This is really cool. Had no idea you could see NYC, Philadelphia, and the ocean from there. Great video
I seriously would love to own one of these whenever I move to Kentucky and fly this around in rural parts.
Looks so much fun.
“I don’t want to go too crazy”
(Starts breathing super hard and going too crazy)
After all this, the most impressive thing to me is how close he got to his car.
he makes it all seem so easy
BigBadCiviC hes been training for 5 yrs
I mean being that high also doing spins like that without shatting his pants is pretty impressive
I suppose so. :P (Yeah, that stuff is hugely impressive, I can't say that I've ever done anything as cool as this.)
That’s was AWESOME! Thanks for taking me along. Beautiful the higher you got.
Man that was absolutely inspiring, I might have just found another hobby. Not that I need another one but he'll life is short and I love ADVENTURE and THRILLS. Great video brother 👍
imagine this is all wright brothers needed
UNDERRATED COMMENT 😂
To put into perspective, commercial airlines travel at 33,000~42,000 feet, mount everest is 29,000 feet. Pretty amazing how a small engine and a wing can get this high up without issues. Good stuff Tucker, you make me want to get one.
(15,000 feet is roughly 4,5k KM)
Wow
Look at these guys here 👆😂😂
4-5000 km?
he ment 4500 meters
Hi there, just adding my input as I’m a Virgin Atlantic Commercial pilot (captain). I fly Boeing 747’s and we normally fly the queen at 45000 ft with throttles on 60%. We aren’t authorised to fly higher than 48000. 45 is really high in perspective. The fact that 2 grade G props pushed into one cage can get you to 15000 with one wing, is quite amazing.... until you think about the weight. A queen’s maximum takeoff weight is more than 500,000 KG!! And maximum landing just over 350,000. If you attached one more seat to that paramotor, it will start to flutter.A flutter is when the weight is too much so the aircraft goes up 2 feet down 1.9 feet so basically the accent is impossible and if you turn in a flutter, you would plummet. Nice to put my input in. Want great prices? Fly Virgin Today. Visit our website to view all our destinations! I hope to welcome you onboard soon!
Def the best 12min of content I've seen on CZcams by far. That was amazing. I got excited flying my drone @ 1,000' but u ruined that for me, thanx.
Oh super cool. You’re so amazing. I loved your bravery and I loved the views. Thanks for sharing 🙏👍💐😀
if he got a call he could've been like "I'm super high right now"
haha right

Step 1: buy or make a paramotor
Step 2: make over 1000 copies of your face
Step 3: go to a very populated place
Step 4: go in the paramotor and and fly over the populated place.
Step 5: drop all the pictures of you and fly off
Step 6: watch the news as they try and figure out who the man in the pictures is
Step 7: go to the populated place and walk around like a boss
Step 8: when confronted say you have no idea what the pictures are from
Step 9: confusion ensues
WarriorWyatt 100 yes.

Step 4: fly over busy location
Step 5: pull pin and drop frags
Step 6: watch as chaos ensues
Step 7: fly fairly far away
Step 8: watch news to see survivors explain that a man flew over and dropped the grenades
Step 9: toss paramotor in someones backyard
Step 10: go to payphone and call police to the house
Step 11: watch the confusion rise

Barely anyone showed and the people who did looked like complete morons.
@@DankDaHerbalist r/woooosh
It would be like D-Day Group 1 is fliyng Group 2 are on land XD
Wait how would they naruto run tho.....?
that feeling of landing after being at such high altitudes must be unreal....
That was awesome! I got to get me one of those! The love of flying is in my blood as I come from several generations of pilots and actually solo'd in a Cessna but ran out of money before I could get my license. This just might be a way for me to get back up in the wild blue yonder 😃
Your living up dream of many of us man !!! 👍👍
