I hope you do make a video on your equipment. I have no idea what to get. Give me a heads up. I'm a beginner at 175lb I'm 48 years old and I don't want to do any crazy tricks. Just a good solid motor and wing. Quiet would be nice. I'm kinda wanting a quad not sure yet. Thanks so much for your videos your a great teacher and no way will I try this without professional training.
I'm a non flyer but have been watching your videos for a couple years. Feel like I might be getting the bug. Is it possible to get the training and then rent wings until you can afford to buy your own set up?
Awesome, I was just thinking about getting one of these!
I reckon I'd feel comfortable getting in the skies after watching this.
I found a second hand one on gumtree for 5k, I'm going to pick it up now and give it a shot! Thanks for the advice Mr.
I WOULD LOVE TOO, BUT IT IS WAY OUT OF MY BUDGET
Tucker Gott big fan of the sport and your videos. Can you do a price break down video? Training cost, entry level equipment cost, etc.
As a pilot myself, I can really appreciate why you like this sport. No hangar required, no license, no medical, not much of anything in the way between you and some wonderful flying experiences. Great video, good, clear instruction. Very well done!
You're no pilot Jeremy who you trying to kid lol
@@jeffburgess9982 i own two fast airplanes. I am free to fly them every day while you're at work. I'm so glad you're envious, though. It makes it even more fun.
@@jeffburgess9982 He literally has videos of him flying on his channel lmao are you dumb or stupid
@@fbloggs What models, and why would you have 2 "fast planes"? Fast = expensive to operate, which is why I have a Cherokee 180 for normal use and a 320 Skynight for long distance
Also, where do you live that you can fly every day? I've never heard of somewhere with weather that allows for GA flying every day
Karen alert📢
Now I'm thinking of buying this instead of a car.
basically same but instead of a car I would buy it instead of a motorcycle :D
One-day , everyone will fly like you ... There will be a paramotor flying training centre in every city , just like gym ... Bcoz , when the word ' flying' comes , everybody becomes greedy n want to own it . 👌👌👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
@@DrHridoyWhatilearnToday just like driving was once a reserve for the rich. I agree. 🙂
It’s either driving an ordinary car, like everyone else, or freaking FLYING
No traffic
Man, I just stumbled onto this channel a couple of days ago and cannot stop watching your videos. This looks insanely fun and you make it look effortless. Really liked this one explaining the basics.
be careful it is far from effortless. Watch some of the other flyers and their fails. TG is a natural with talent far beyond most other flyers
Looks so fun. I just saw the flying to McDonald’s thumbnail and checked out a lot of your videos. I had to subscribe. This sport looks amazing! You have great videos man keep up the good work. I’m hoping to take some classes at some point. Thanks again for the inspiration
Same here I also came because of that video and now I want a paramotor! Am glad I found him when I did ^^
Same here
Guilty of self-taught..Im still alive....Awesome man...good stuff
I'm a self-taught extreme snow skier. Nobody around in the 80's to teach you how to throw yourself down a snow covered cliff and survive but me and my best friend. We figured it out. Paramotors on the other hand, ya, I'll be most definitely getting proper training.
I bought my 18 wheeler with no school or cdl. I bought my motorcycle without ever riding and no school. Although I feel I could do the same with this, I'm going to get lessons if I decide to purchase a PM.
Can your explain your journey learning? Books, CZcams, friend who was already doing it?
Summit dave my too
I am eighty two.done a few things in my life.but boy I wished I'd gave this sport a try
@@michaelrankine1825 Never too late to start. You can still try and give it a shot!!
I’d like to see a video breaking down what wings are good for what things and what motors are good for what flying styles
“Just the tip"
@Jeff Z how the fuck
@AlaskaLive It's blm doe
She says that
@@yourvirgofriend4767 Take a chill pill! He made a funny joke if you don't like it than don't comment. I mean I laughed at it and I'm getting into paramptoring. I doubt anyone here is offended but you.
Hi Tucker, I enjoy your videos a lot. Being 79 years old and having some bad knees I'll not be getting into this sport but vicariously, I enjoy flying with you. You make it look easy, but I know it's experience built over time.
Go to Flight Junkies channel, he trains those in there 80's.. the age is about using a trike,, or wheels,, instead of your knees. Let these youngsters do this running stuff. You can still enjoy flight, and paramotoring, just do it sitting in a cart! Plenty doable..
I really liked how you explained Jacquelyn’s wing a few months ago. After I graduate from the AviatorPPG class I believe I’ll just get her wing. I’m a little older than you and I’m pretty happy just cruising around looking at the horse farms of Lexington. The spinning around that you did in this video would have me hurling my lunch onto the ground people. LOL. Loved this video Mr. Tucker.
TriplePlay it’s called:
Intentionally collapsing the wing!! - ozone mojo review
This is your captain speaking if you feel the need to vomit. Do so at your leisure over your enemies house.... BOMBS AWAY!!!!!!. Lol
A,B,C are group of lines connecting the wing to the risers. The risers are the straps connecting the lines to the carabiners.
The A lines are connected to the front of the wing. The B lines are connected to middle of the wing, the c lines are connected to the middle back. And the brake lines at the trailing edge.
Trimming is adjusting the lenght of the risers, so the back of the risers are longer or shorter than the front. It changes the angle of attack, the angle between the wing and the airflow, changing the speed of the wing, and other flight behavior.
I am a teacher and you are doing an excellent job teaching! I know nothing about paramotors, but your explanation and vocabulary helped me understand more about what you are doing when you fly. Thank you! PS: There is no way in hell I would ever pick up this hobby! I don’t like heights even though I have several pilots in our family. My grandpa always used to take us for rides in his Piper Cub and Fairchild. I grew up in Racine, WI. He flew me up to the EAA museum and brought me back to school once to UW Eau Claire.
I fly paramotor about every flyable day and I have to say that sounds like an epic grandpa. I had no aviation influence in my childhood and after falling in love with flying I truly believe its one of the greatest things you could instill in kids.
xephonism Where can I get one? I have looked everywhere
As a former sailplane pilot, and basic level instructor, I completely agree. I've only discovered Tucker's channel and the field of paramotoring in the last couple of days (although of course I was aware of what I was calling powered hang-gliders). Don't let his young age fool you, Tucker is a top-notch pilot and teacher. I'm knocking on in years now but I'm really wondering whether I need to find a paramotor course.
Do it @@DaveKahn :)
@@Metaphoria_Music :-)
These videos have inspired me to finally lose weight, currently sitting around 280. When I hit the one somethings it is on. Keep up the good work Kiddo.
Mark...I've got 10lbs to go, lost 50 so far, also aerobic exercise. Only concern is age, I'm 70yrs, but if I can do it you can, and vice versa
Mark, you have a relative named Kent??? Anyway, you're helping to get my ass in gear to take on this challenge. More power to you. Keep us posted on your progress.
You too S. Smith
Did you do it?
Mark Blankenship Keto Diet and exercise. Guaranteed to lose weight.👍
I failed at the first step...
*Buy/afford a paramotor*
and I at the second step...seeking professional instruction.
YankeeinSC1 You're telling me that you went out to spend several grand on a paramotor and wing without ever having had professional instruction?
guilty...
to be fair it was about $13K USD in gear, but new gear is better to learn on. Old worn out wings make learning harder.
Bruh....I guess if you make a lot of money $13k isn't much, but for the average person to go out there and spend $13k on paramotor gear without ever getting professional lessons is pretty stupid hahaha
I really enjoy your videos dude. Keep it going!
Loving the tutorials, planning on taking lessons this summer. Extra knowledge is good
This video came in my suggested feed, glad I watched it. Really entertaining and I look forward to seeing your new stuff.
Hey Tucker that was an awesome video, I really enjoyed it! I definitely think you should do the motor video as there are so many different frames and motors on the market and it will be interesting to get your take on why you fly the scout and also why you prefer that motor to say, a Air Inception or the like. Look forward to your next video. Chris.
Yea please do the different motor and frame episodes 😊😊
Even I learned everything online I still need instructor to teach me before my first flight, thanks so much for sharing...am following your channel now!
Love the basics covered here! This is one of my favorite CZcams channels. You’re killing it dude!
It’s so cool. I watched this before I started flying and now again after flying. It’s so different in theory and actually being up in the air. Great vid
Good info, I was wondering the same things. Thanks.
"simply, is that a word, yeah simply that's an orange juice"😅
Wow that was brilliant. Very informative, entertaining and hope there’s more of these clips to watch.
Awesome Tucker! I fly the BlackHawk and you did a great job explaining everything. Love your videos, keep up the awesome work.
YES PLEASE MAKE MOTOR VIDEOS
Good job Tucker! Makes me want to learn to fly. All I need now is money.
Soo Cool Tucker! A lot of these videos please
Enjoyed your informal and friendly presentation.
Paramotor seems to be more like the early control the right brothers used, wing warping. I find that pretty cool.
Look at all the trouble the Wright brothers went to. Could you imagine the Wrights at Kitty Hawk ready for take off and Tucker zooms by and waves?
I thing they would have given up, broken down and cried!
Great basic explanation! Looks like this is the closest way to feel like you're truly flying! No panels in front, your arms are out and wind in your face. The more I watch the more I want to fly. Thanks!!
Those harvest snaps are no joke the best. Thanks for the great content!
I watched a LOT of your videos, this one, even though it was simple made my wife feel better about me even looking at this hobby. So thanks for the basics
Ayyy I’m early love the vids keep up the great work
2:34 when you eat Taco Bell
Truth! 😂
@@TuckerGott Great videos man. I wish I had something like this near me. I'd definitely sign up. Subbed!
Hhhhhhhhh
Aaaaa
Omg 😂
Absolutely love this!!
Loved it...just starting out and will watch it a couple of time for sure. Learning new things each time.
Thank you. I doubt I'll ever take up flying a paramotor but I have seen some of your videos and wondered how the wing is controlled. You've given me the kind of basic overview I wanted. It would have been nice to have been able to have a good, clear view of how the wing's shape changes depending upon your inputs but at least now that looks a lot less like a whole chaotic mess of spaghetti wrapped around a human-being thanks to your overview.
I’ll probably never do it, but this was very, very interesting!
dude i learned so much from this video. i live in colorado and cant wait to see the mountains paragliding. seems like a sport not too many people do here and will be nice to beat the crowds!!!
I like when you sprinkle in basic paramotor stuff or videos about your paramotor. Keep it up fun stuff!
It just works
Justin Y. I found you again?
why
Shit he's here too.
Must be the algorith that sent me here.
Flex tape makes it work even more
Yo are again
flying by paramotor is amazing
Great job man. I Always enjoy learning - you have the heart of a teacher. Keep up the good work.
I've never done this - but I've also never failed to stop and watch whenever a paramotor flies over. It always amazes me. THANKS for the simple "How It Works" video. I found it really informative.
Hello Tucker,
I am impressed with the way you do your videos.
I have just retired and am going into the world of power paragliding.
Keep up your videos. I am learning so much.
Steve
Droidmaster1 you might aswell start recording it because why not
That was really interesting! It might be cool to do a sort of beginning to fly video, maybe cover some of the paramotor training schools, and look at good beginner equipment for getting into the sport.
Can I guess? One would be the name of a computer and the other a term for a pilot
Very Simple & Nice Instructions. Thank you very much
The interview idea sounds great and would be interesting to me.
thanks for the videos, they're great!
You gotta admit it. The little bugger knows what hes doing. This seems to be the easiest way to fly and you can take it ANYWHERE. Very informative.
True if you´re not in Germany... Here you need a special Flight License + education (containing Meteorology, flight Jurisdiction etc.) to even be allowed to buy one of those. Next thing: You may only start from airports (yet you may land anywhere you like strangely) and like half of the country is no-fly area, especially around Cities and/or inhabited area in general. Oh have I mentioned that you pay a fee for your start permit from an airport? So yeah... poor germans
@@crtvben3714 That really sucks. Government is a poison.
My Drone is safer 👍
Tucker: Alright, so up next we have the break toggles. * shows most beautiful cloudscape of all time like heaven on earth *
Me: Wait, what am I supposed to be looking at?
5:08
You have totally hit the nail on the head brother!!! I appreciate your insight and all of the videos that you share! Keep It Real homie KJ!
I’ll probably never fly one myself, but I was fascinated with your little “teaching moment” (and yes, I liked it). Do more. Thank you.
make a video about what your using! Describe your motor and why your using it. The wing, communications, and all the extra gear. and also telling us the total costs for all the equipment with training on top. Also would there be a good place to train somewhere close to Tulsa, Ok?!
700K subs!! keep up the great, authentic content Tucker :)
Shadilay!
Tucker, an awesome series of videos. Keep it up!
Great tips. Some basics are great. Love your channel.
Tucker You are the BESTEST .......No other experienced PPG pilot has at this stage been so POSITIVE for newbe PPG wantobees..........keep up the GOOD work no wonder You are at the TOP!!!!!! always.......VM
I think it is my biggest dream to fly with that thing
More videos like this please! Thanks Tucker
This is by far the best video I've seen .
Thanks mate and keep up the good work.
Boring. I already know everything. :) J/K. Awesome video. I don't mind you "teaching"/informing at all. You continue to impress me with your flying and video production skills. You totally send it in all you do dude. :) Still waiting on your big reveal. "Tuckers Flying School?" Nah...
I reserve "SendItJunkie #1" just in case. :)
This comment is just proof that you can't make everybody happy all of the time. Thanks for your input
Do interviews dude! I've considered that myself, but there is no one around me to interview, ha ha!
Kyle you too have a great load of CZcams videos and had different motors not to mention that you have built a frame thanks for your input 😊😊
Waiting for another weather video Kyle O. Reading the clouds, etc...
Love your work & channel
Thank you Tucker. This was great!
How much can someone expect to pay for lessons
Clay Guinard anywhere from 1000-3000. Sometimes a bit more if your getting quality all inclusive training.
When Tucker said "don't go try it at home because it won't work like that" he's very right, please dont. I liked this video a lot though, you're a good teacher ;). Just a thought i think weight shift effectiveness has a lot to do with the gear you're flying and also your weight. For example on the air conceptions with the Mojo if I just lift one leg and move my upper body it really doesn't do much. To make any type of noticable turn with weight shift on that setup I really have to slide my whole body to one side of the harness and cross a leg, while in the scout it doesn't seem like there's even room to do that.
Judson Graham I have the disadvantage of having a wide upper torso. I only have about an inch total between me and the weight shift arms. Plus the 26m spyder isn't the most agile wing. I can weight shift and it definitely has an effect, but it takes me trying to shift my hardest to the left to keep the air conception going straight at full throttle. Need to get me some anti torque lamels.
Robert Durbin we were thinking of getting them for the ac-130! Because jaclyn and I are so light, the torque is kind of an issue
Judson Graham it's more of an annoyance than an issue for me. I'll pull the trigger on them soon enough...
Robert Durbin I just realized hoe expensive they are, dang!
Judson Graham yeah, like $200
Beautiful sunset
Absolutely great video/information, I thank you
9:41 Germanaaay in da house braaa! My country ;D
You must have dropped this video in response to Captain Kurt! He was bashing you saying your videos don't teach us anything. It was actually pretty entertaining to watch. Kinda like a train wreck.
This was most definitely not a response. 🤣
Tucker Gott But your timing was perfect! I actually learned something. Didn’t know about pulling both brakes in a turn to tighten it. Thanks for that!
Keep it up Tucker. I hear nothing but good stuff about you. In my Paramotors for Beginners group on Facebook someone posted a question about why Kurt was giving you crap. Nothing but positive responses about you buddy. Whether you realize it or not you are inspiring lots of folks to get in to the sport.....Including me. Again, keep it up.
I agree, keep it up!
Beyond train wreck. He didn't even have the balls to call out anyone by name and now all comments are disabled on his videos--total puss move...
Got hooked when I watched your 5 day flight series in Utah. You're a great instructor. Just watching you fly I'm learning.
Great job! Loved it
I appreciate your effort, but I was lost almost immediately. You talked about tips and something else and A,B, and C, which I think must be different parts of your wing. It would have helped if I could have asked questions, and before we even started flying, it would have been good to study a diagram with all the different parts relevant to controlling the paramotor. I think you kind of take the vocabulary and how the parts work for granted. The 4 or so interruptions for ads also didn't help. Reading through the comments, it's obvious some people got a lot more from this than I did, and that's good. Perhaps if I studied up some and then re-watched the video, I'd get more out of it, too. So again, thanks for the effort.
definitely you would. Lots of 'us' are pilots and the like who have a decent grasp of aerodynamics ...in my case years of flight sim and self ed, lol. ull get it with a bit more investigation
Damn that's a nice house.. keeps talking lol
When I first started being interested in power motor I used to watch lots of your videos they got me more interested in this amazing sport....stay blessed peace from the uk
I enjoy your videos, they're easy to understand and they're clear and good quality. Keep up the good work!
Thank You, I enjoyed that very much and will be signing into lessons this spring. Your very inspirational and kind.
Great video and content. Thanks
Wanted to do this for a few year's . Watching from Ireland. Thank you for sharing.
Love the video. You are a great teacher. Now I understand the concept. Much appreciated.
Well done. Takes the mystery out of it.
I've been watching your videos for about a week. You have a great personality Tucker, like some of the others have said, your a teacher at explaining what your doing during flight. I do think getting into the motor teaching would be great. Thanks for sharing, and be safe up there my friend. Gene from Iowa
Clear and concise. Thanks!
I stuck around to the end. Very informative Tucker. Thx
This was very informative and explains so much. I've watch un chingo of your videos and this will make the rest so much more fun!
Thank you. Excellent video. I’m going to think of these concepts. I started by getting equipment a year ago and am in ground training.
that was great i havent flowen one yet i have flowen a cesna 175 that was fun and the way u show how to fly is great learning skills cant wait to watch more thanks
Excellent instructions
Loving watching these in lockdown, thanks for the video, learning loads.
You do very good lessons, thanks for doing this.
Excellent teacher dude ☝🏼
you make a great teatcher tucker and thank you this video mate
Dude, you are an awesome instructor....thanks for all the info. Great vids.....Keep'em coming!
Loved this video
Thanks, it looks amazing and so free. I would love to try. This vid was great to fill in the gaps of the basics. cheers
Quite useful and easy to follow. Thank you
Super interesting! Thank you so much for the great explanation!
All of this makes total sense! 👍. Thank you!
Tucker you inspire so many people to take up this amazing sport & this video is definitely one I shall keep coming back to, a more in-depth demonstration of the whole Harness/ risers/ brakes set up would be good ( Not boring) essential info for those of us who want to learn to fly safely ! Also your van life vids with Jaclyn are super cool & she is a gem, it’s always great to see you fly together !
This is brilliant! Thanks!
