"Don't Hit The Wall!" - Paramotor Box Canyon Flying

[@SuperMarcoArt]

The chase cam on this video is insane. Perfect cinematography.

[@lobbyrobby]

5 a.m. and people up water skiing, paramotoring and base jumping. I won't even get out of bed to pee that early hahaha

Those wingovers by the cliffs remind me of a mountain rescue mission I was on 10-ish years ago in Romero Canyon, Tucson. A paraglider pilot clipped the cliff and left a trail of elbow bone fragments leading up to the crash site. My main contribution while packaging the patient for an evac by a USAF Pave Hawk was to convince the team to unwrap the lines and wing from the pilot rather than just cutting through them. The pilot was thankful, and after receiving some new metal elbow parts, both pilot and glider got to fly another day. Rock is hard -- fly safe! :)

[@roadboat9216]

Now come on……….beats the crap out of NJ. And yes, just head north a bit towards Flagstaff, or really anywhere north. Love it. Great idea on the hi res too

[@TuckerGott]

For sure! I'll be passing through Flagstaff. Want to make it up to Salt Lake and Twin Falls.

[@JG124_]

I have to disagree, I'm sorry. I still love the videos of course, but something about those green fields and farms and trees and lakes... it all really just holds a special place in my heart compared to how Arizona is all dry and dusty all the time with nothing but rocks everywhere. I'm glad Tucker is happier where he is now, but I miss those summertime NJ flights.

[@roadboat9216]

@@JG124_ I understand. Many people feel that lush green is everything. It’s not. I think that you have to have lived in areas like this for a while to appreciate them. I LOVE the crystal clear air. Starry skies like you will never see “back east”. Geological features to blow your mind. And the wonderful lack of oppressing humidity. You know, it’s all a trade off. I have lived in both areas extensively and enjoyed both.

[@jameshoiby]

@@roadboat9216 After 40 years in Tucson, AZ I moved to the Olympic Peninsula last year and I love it here. That said, when I went back to Arizona for the winter, I appreciated more than ever how clean and beautiful the Arizona desert is. (The ground is generally small rock fragments -- it's rarely dusty or dirty except where earthmoving/farming has massively disturbed the ground.)

[@roadboat9216]

@@jameshoiby Yes, agree with you there. There is a protective layer or crust on the surface called the Caleche layer. If left alone it very much protects the desert. However, when it is dug up for any reason, now you do have a dust problem. But normally not. The high desert really does have beauty.

[@1asdfasdfasdf]

Arizona turned me into a morning person. Prior to moving here in 2005 I was never up before 9:00 am. 🌄

[@surfsunsand]

I grew up in San Diego and the Colorado River and all the scenery is amazing. The river water is warm BEFORE the dams. Have fun.

[@jumpingjacks5558]

Arizona is such a beautiful state. The landscape and desert is always active with wildlife. You will have to look for those havalinas that live in the desert. Of course they have also been known to breaking people's yards. People do hunt them. I to hope someday I can retire in Arizona at least go down in the winter and come back to where I live now in the summer.

[@rogermurphey7444]

The same type of weather as AZ. I'm in southern Utah and any outdoor activity needs to be early morning. I live the paramoter life through you Tucker. Since I can't afford one. The next best thing is to ride along on your videos. 😊 look forward to many more ride along video's from you. Stay cool and safe. 😊

It is so beautiful out there. The way the green looks over the rocks is stunning. Awesome video.

[@urazz7739]

Yeah, in Florida, it's in the 90s, so not too hot compared to Arizona, but what makes Florida bad is the high humidity. Makes it feel so much worse.

Very cool shots of the base jumpers. Great video, stay safe Tucker!

[@jwalach1650]

For some reason your videos of you on a paramotor just started to show on my youtube. To be honest, I never saw anyone do this before and seriously thought these were made up for cartoons that Wile E Coyote would ride to catch the roadrunner. The whole concept of a fan on a person's back and a sail above them to take them flying through the air is wild. I never seen these for real or on tv. I love your videos too and how passionate, but yet humble you are on the topic. I could not imagine the feeling of that type of freedom. Thank you for sharing your videos on youtube. Liked and subscribed. This paramotoring stuff looks awesome!

[@orillian8023]

Hey, I have always loved your designs for your shirts! My favorite so far was the desert landscape in the goggles, but I have never gotten one of them. The reason being I'm a paraglider guy not a paramotor guy. Is there any chance of you doing a more general free flight design? Something that paraglider, paramotor, and maybe even hang glider pilots could all enjoy?

[@MarkLoves2Fly]

I wear them all even though I am a Free-Flight Paraglider guy myself. The Blueprint is my current favorite, though I am really enjoying the green. The quality of the fabric is great and very comfortable.

[@orillian8023]

@@MarkLoves2Fly I posted this on another video and someone came up with the design of just the glider face on with different landscapes through the lines, that way it works for paraglider and paramotor pilots and I thought that idea was super cool

[@DaveBartholomew-uf6sm]

And I fly PPC but still enjoy the Risky shirts. I'd like to see a PPC flyer or at least a trike PPG. Maybe in the future.

[@anthgov5966]

Do you carry a handgun when you go out thr? Ive lived here for awhile and have spent enough time Riding Dirt Bikes, Quads, Hiking, Etc. that I've seen my fair share of sketchy people. You will be glad you did. Also, Superstitions Mountains are fine, never had an issue there but out by Saguaro Lake and the Salt River seems to draw a sketchy crowd. The other place that may be cool is Sycamore Creek which is just north of Saguaro Lake a few miles and then 4 Peaks, also near Saguaro...

Hey Tucker, I live in Mesa I was born and raised in AZ. You should go up to Payson and do some flying around "The Rim" I'm sure you would get some really great footage! Just a suggestion homie! I thought it was really cool to see you move to AZ man, looking forward to your videos of you flying around my home state! Welcome to AZ man! It will cool down around October and you'll be good

[@tzgardner]

I feel like that as well. The morning vs the evening vibe is totally different. Mornings I just want to cruise around and then go out for breakfast afterwards.

[@Texas.T]

The pain in your voice . May you continue to heal in the sky's and rest soundly at night .

[@ianandrew7893]

So cool. I'm from New Zealand and we have really strict aviation laws so it's much harder to get into paragliding. We have such amazing scenery. I love your trailing camera as it shows your attitude whilst combining with the area. Love watching your channel. ❤

[@80sDweeb]

I'm definitely looking forward to footage from your travels northward.

[@kikochas]

Same for me! I like flying in the evening more than mornings.

[@CaptainPeterRMiller]

Hej, Tucker. I've been around, following your journey to Arizona. It's beautiful country and todays epic flight was FULL of dimnsion - more 3D than the real world, from this viewer's perspective. I like your idea of ramping up the quality. Sometimes your audio or your voice is modulated byt the beat of the engine - makes it a little distorted and sometimes to fully understand. Though all your cameras seem pretty good, it would be great to see the Sony resolution on my screen. I love your work and the ideas. Keep Calm and Carry On.

[@Cl0udPvP]

It’s beautiful out there!

[@gtchalie5038]

Gotta hand it to you, you're a great producer. All of the flying and jumping provides content, but you still have to assemble all the footage into some sort of format so that it's appealing to the eyes! Thanks for that. You must enjoy that part of it. We do!

[@timbeau928]

Im a long-time fan, and It's so awesome to see that you moved into my backyard! I've had the urge to pick up paramotoring for years, and the first video I saw of yours was Meteor Crater. You had me hooked from then on. I've always wanted to make some AZ flight suggestions, but it seemed pointless given where you lived. #1 is Mogollon Rim! There's a bunch of great places off the rim, and it's all beautiful. I would find somewhere to take off along highway 87 (pine, strawberry, etc), and you'll see a bunch bunch of great sights if you head east. While you're up there, you could also check out the Fossil Creek waterfall and Tonto Natural Bridge! I look forward to seeing more spectacular views of my home state :)

[@artoodeetoo3064]

Do you fly with water now? I would hate to land out without hydration.

[@anthonyburke5656]

Hey Tucker, I don’t know what you mean by “Up North”. Don’t forget to see Mesa Verde, it will blow you away, I wouldn’t recommend you try to fly it in Summer, but you should see it to motivate you to get permission to fly it in Spring or Fall. You could do it in 2 days, but in your place, I’d make an expedition, take some friends (after getting permission to fly it) and cover the whole area, take a week or 2 to account for bad weather and surprise vistas opening.

Try Canyon Lake, which is next in the series of lakes that include Saguaro lake, which is even more interesting and beautiful, imo. The flying and views are stunning. I had to install some tiedowns on my desk chair like a seatbelt to feel like i wouldn't fall out of my chair. Crazy stuff!

That was an incredible video. Loved the combination GoPro helmet cam and chase cam. And thinking about all the great IG vids from your friends of your wingovers.
