Flying Under The Viaduct - INSANE flight!!!!

[@TuckerGott]

This was potentially my favorite flight of 2018. I knew the viaduct would be awesome, but I never imagined it would be this great. Huge thanks to all of the guys for being a part of the adventure. If you enjoyed the video, hit that like button and give it a share!

[@sammymeza7136]

When are you coming back to California?

[@Swing4TheRing]

You just like saying viaduct... :-p

[@robertdurbin4252]

So jealous I wasn't there...

[@bonniebunnie1714]

'Hitting' the like button is KZbin abuse tho...

[@clay9403]

I can't wait to see the big surprise.

[@morganjackson3109]

My grandfather helped build this bridge! I grew up less than a 1/2 mile from it, we used to swim in the creek below. I’m so glad you guys made this video, this is amazing!

[@CONDUCTORE77]

I'm a railroad conductor and PPG pilot and I mentioned this very bridge in the earlier vid when you flew under the Delaware viaduct. Glad you did it. This bridge rocks and glad you did the flight. Fly safe man!!!!!

[@Cptn.Viridian]

The Nicholson Viaduct, originally know as the Tunkhannock Viaduct, was the largest of four viaducts built by the Delaware Lackawanna and Wester railroad (aka the DLandW or the Lackawanna), and was the icing on top of a massive construction project known as the Lackawanna cutoff. The cutoff, in essence, aimed to level and straighten as much of the railroad as possible. It also included a series of tunnels, and a large elevated "cutoff" of compacted dirt, which leveled the railroad over the smaller rolling plains and eliminated almost all level crossings, with almost all road crossings replaced with bridges or small tunnels over the said roads. The project aimed to modernize a huge stretch of the railroad, and was considered a huge success when the entire project, massive viaducts, tunnels, and cutoffs accounted, paid itself off in under 10 years with the reduced times and increased train traffic that flowed over the system, and it drastically increased safety due to the near elimination of level crossings. A few more facts is that the Tunkhannock Viaduct took and held the title of largest concrete structure for over 50 years, a title it took from the paulinskill viaduct, built a few years prior for the same project.

[@benjaminbaldwin1118]

Tucker, you are such an awesomely positive dude. Perfect antidote for the negativity in some paramotor circles. Keep up your thing. You are class, bro.

[@bstang93]

This was an awesome adventure! Thanks again for allowing me to be apart of this experience!

[@donindri]

As a hang glider pilot I was taught that if you had to land in a tree, pick the biggest, bushy one, flare into it, and grab the biggest branch you can. Had to do that once, it worked. For train landings, make sure you are going in the same direction as the train, no flair, grab onto any thing that protrudes and hang on for the ride (okay, disregard I never had train landing instruction) :)

[@xephonism]

Thats pretty much what we are told as paramotor pilots. Although I would rather whatever it takes to get as low as possible first. Getting your glider in a tree sucks big time, its so difficult to get out. I managed to fly my glider on landing into a tree once, I landed on the ground but the wing was up in the tree. It took me about an hour to get the tree to give it back.

[@B250R]

I have watched many of your videos. This one boy you really made me nervous a few times. I'm currently 57 years old and you almost have me ready to trade my Buckeye 582 Dream machine in for a Para glider like you all have in this video. I'm glad you don't have my nerves because your videos would be boring to watch. I know you pay attention and will continue to do so. When you get to be my age you will reflect back to your young life. I know I sure do and too bad when I was your age I didn't have the technology that you do now. Trust me I would have captured some great stunts that I pulled while being safe. Happy and Safe Flying. You sure bring a smile to me with your videos. I can just imagine what that baby oil smoke smells like.

[@PC-en9mv]

Awesome video. I love watching you fly and you make a little nervous at times with what you do. I so badly want to learn how to paramotor, thanks to you.

[@JBS319]

As for the question "who builds a giant viaduct in Northeastern Pennsylvania?" the answer would be the Lackawanna Railroad trying to get up to Binghamton and Buffalo from Scranton and Hoboken. The bridge at the Water Gap was on the same line before that part closed.

[@brentbraniff]

I love that shot looking back at you. It's like the camera is floating right in front and you're following it. So dang cool!!! And that wide angle / fisheye through the arch is amazing!! You are a god of aerial videography! So impressive!!! One of your absolute best videos!!

[@jimmykosko]

With out a doubt that’s was one of your best flights... you could hear it in your laughter. Awesome and thanks for sharing

[@RajSingh-qc6lq]

Man I love watching your videos bro, it just lets me forget everything going on and just imagine myself up there with you for one hell of a ride! Can't wait until I can save up for my own paramotor, until then thank you for the continued window into the world of paramotors with each and every upload :)

[@JBtheExplorer]

Gotta admit that was a pretty funny end to your flight with the concerned citizen and the pizza! The flight itself looked like a ton of fun!

[@tinkertailor7385]

That 360 cam shot of you corkscrewing with smoke, was damn cool.... such a great shot. That viaduct action was indeed insane.... What a lovely day.

[@ANGRYVideoGNOME]

DUDE!,, love your videos. i wish i had discovered your sport a few years back when i could carry a motor on my back and run. oh well,,,i guess i'll have to settle for living vicariously through you! keepem coming!

[@barrywebber100]

Another great video Tucker thank you very much. I love the swivelling camera shots which further add to the flight movement and helps us to feel as though we are with you flying! Cheers!

[@TonyEssig]

Wow tucker very nice roll over under the bridge. Epic flight indeed. Thanks for sharing.

[@flyingclint589]

HAHA! "yes, you can giggle." LOVE your stuff, bro! Keep doing you!

[@3DZign]

Wow, just caught this...I used to live in Nicholson as a kid. Some of my favorite childhood memories were there. Snow forts in awesome snow drifts, ice skating at a local pond, building hay forts in farmers hay barn...I'm in California now thanks to the USMC back mid to late 80's. I dig your videos! I'm into the "no hazard" flight using FPV aerial cameras.

[@patrickodonovan5066]

Very inspiring. All your vlogs are. We love how fearless you are.

[@AM2PMReviews]

Dude you are killing it with the videos! Such an inspiration for my channel

[@DaveBsellsChevy]

Had me rofl at 16:16.. great videos bud! Thanks for creating!

[@almilani4300]

Dude really knows his shit- his best video thus far! Its apparent he knows about the best equipment and gear.

[@mixwiz]

Some of your best photography ever. Keep 'em coming.

[@davetriumph]

Man, you were totally loving life on this one !!! Super enjoyable to watch.

[@FrayAdjacentTX]

That's some Mark Huneycutt level shenanigans, dude! Judson - don't feel bad dude! I had to land out on my 3rd flight, too! I didn't run out of gas, but hit a headwind that prevented me from getting back to the LZ, so my instructors and I landed out. It was an adventure!

[@TC-bz9dz]

Tucker your flying skills are amazing. You have improved so much in the past 3 years. You are the best pilot on the paradigm team!!! Hands down!!!!!

[@wll1500]

T C I think Manu may be more skilled but Tucker is definitely the fan favorite

[@TuckerGott]

I appreciate that but I would have to disagree! 😉 Manu and David are on another level.

[@EpicAdventurePPG]

You are AMAZING Tucker! You have inspired me to learn how to fly paramotors and now I have the freedom of flight. I am capturing my progress on my channel. I don't know if you know how much you are positively changing people's lives. Thanks dude... YOU ROCK!!!

[@jenpester3413]

Epic Adventure I really love watching your videos!!!

[@TuckerGott]

That's awesome to hear man! I just subscribed, fly safe! :)

[@EpicAdventurePPG]

Tucker subscribed to my channel! How RAD is that?!?

tucker lover your vid angles on your gopro’s great effects 😜stay safe 🙏🏻

[@bcoorough]

Risky biscuits for sure !!! Super cool video to watch.

[@harry616]

Tucker great flight and good Luck in many more as i am sure you will ,it took a lot of guts to fly that .

[@ryan-vu1vy]

My hometown! I recognized the birdge immediately. Awesome video man, much love

[@ksingleton101]

I only subscribe to people who make me laugh and are educational. This channel does both! Thanks Tucker!

[@keith1859]

Awsome scenery & videography. ---- oh. And Awsome flying 👍

[@Rebecca-zr2zx]

Amazing scenery and great job editing!! This sport has really opened my eyes to how talented your guys all really are!!! Keep the videos coming!

[@johnfrey-ps8kn]

Love the camera angles. Awesome!

[@tamariderr]

Woaa stay safe brother. You make everything look so chill and easy I often forget the stunts you pull are all a bit sketchy biscuits! Dropping off the rail and popping straight under gave me the wobbles..

[@brentgambrell]

I've been watching your videos ever since you put the first one up a while back. Your videos are awesome

[@jasonpage6952]

Love all of your videos Tucker! You should do one of the 360 videos that we can pan and tilt the video while we watch!

[@macushlamarsh2390]

Hi Tucker just watched the video and whilst you are a fine paramotor pilot, it only takes one unforseen element/error of judgement going under that viaduct, and lets face it, it could be any number of things that might go wrong and it's all over. As I say, you have well mastered the skill of flying the paramotor but taking risks like that whilst thrilling at the time could one day be your undoing. I really enjoy watching your flying video's and don't want to be negative but flying unnecessary dangerous manoeuvres is risky. Best of luck with your flying and look forward to the next one. Fly safe!!!!!!!!

[@wadepage7809]

Epic! Thanks for taking us along Tucker.

[@natural9743]

That was so sick and the front on camera was wild great footage

[@snoozinglion8596]

I really admire your camera and editing skills Tucker... you're getting better and better ;) Cool location! Thanks for sharing

[@DBartWest]

Another great video. Love the historical part. I went a looked up Wiki and Heritage on bridge. Thanks for the adventure.

[@BargainAgent]

haha at 14mins 40sec it looks like your in a green room, its that cam that shows how it bends the horizon funny, thank you for all your vids cant believe ive never paid attenion your literally a pilot with no boxs around you a free bird, keep up the good stuff good luk

[@Markmac13YT]

Insane maneuver bro! That can’t be as easy as you made it look!

[@BobThePilotN4WFH]

That was some accurate fun flying. I was smiling with enjoyment the whole time you were working the viaduct.

[@mattmobile]

Dude please keep making videos. You give me motivation

[@deanbestall]

Awesome video and a great location to fly, great work Tucker.

[@Budd2407]

As I watched this, I couldn’t help imagine a bunch of vultures or similar birds flying around and essentially hearing their thoughts like we hear yours. A birds perspective flying with his buddies around an architect like this.

[@veeemm4797]

Hey Tucker You are still King of PPG no doubts!!! We would love to see you at the FEB 2019 Salton Sea Fly-in weather here is awsome there are many pilots here that would be absolutely thrilled to see and meet our Hero..................fly safe.......VM

[@ThomasGrillo]

I gotta say... That was some absolutely incredible precision flying! Some of the passes looked to be less than 10 feet between top of wing, and the bridge. Real edge of the seat stuff! Keep up the great works, and stay safe. Thanks. :)

[@mgnapping]

I've added this vid to my "party drinking vid" collection. We watch it together and everyone does a shot every time baby oil is mentioned. 10/10 recommend.

[@robertstyles5156]

I LOVE the 360 degree camera. Keep up the good content.

The drop from above to under the bridge was awesome!

Dam tucker u pump out the best videos on the planet!!!

Soo bad ass! Dig the go-pole footage too. I had to keep backing up and checking it out till i realised how the hell it was being filmed. Such good content!

Best iv seen so far amazing

[@WritersHiveMedia]

Dude, you are a boss. Love this content, bro. Keep it up!

There are old paramotorists, and there are bold paramotorists, but there are no o...oh, fuck it! This was pretty damned sweet. 🍬 😝

[@Al-of3zp]

love the selfie stick camera angle, very cool!

[@CoffeesDirtiest]

This doesn't really apply for this video but I've always wonder how would the back parachute would work if ever needed? Would be cool to see a video on it

[@autolode4215]

Awesome video Tucker I'm in awe Brah !!! In the No Sketch Zone !

[@aldenunion]

Neato,I was fortunate to grow up just below station of this Bridge,spent many a day.Also lived near bridge in Twin fall's (Perrine)|Nothing compare's to Nicholson Viaduct.Only have not seen anyone base jump off this yet..You have the method there,nice..

[@hunterjt3]

Dude.. That was frickin inspirational right there! Been looking for a new adventure hobby! Think you just sold me! That was legit!

[@EverydayRoadster]

Van blinkers in sync with the music beats looks awesome.

[@TuckerGott]

Right?! So glad that happened.

[@jedbrink7046]

Awesome video man, I wish I knew you guys were in the area, I live near the viaduct...would have been sick to meet everyone!! Keep up the great work!!!

[@tomascharles5080]

Wow that was so sick,great vid tucker as always.

[@mickrandell5249]

That was an awesome video Tucker 😀 made me laugh about Judson 😂😂😂

[@KingOrpheus]

As an adult who used to visit the Tunkhannock Viaduct regularly, it's great to see it getting some amazing use from a respectful and upcoming KZbin star. Keep on doing you, Tucker.

[@rayfletcher3683]

Please be careful, we know you’re good and we love your vids. You just worried me a bit when you said you’re safer than most pilots. That’s probably true but that attitude with your experience can lead to misjudgment. Not criticizing you, just been flying for over 50 years, been there done that. Peace, out👍

[@sunandthesoil3736]

I hate to admit it Ray but what you are saying is true.The biggest threat now to our brother would be complacency(the unforgiving enemy of every expert) I love his videos though,he does what I wouldn't dare do!

[@TuckerGott]

I appreciate your concern, Ray! That comment was in reference to a certain video that was posted recently with references to me being an unsafe pilot. I always try to keep a humble attitude and approach every flight like a beginner. Fight complacency! ;) Peace out man!

[@rayfletcher3683]

Thanks ,Tucker for your reply. I’ve always respected your attitude toward safety while still taking calculated risks and enjoying life. Have fun, be safe and keep being a good example!

[@thedronehorseman4713]

@@TuckerGott youve conviced me to take up this sport without professional training! KZbin is my trainer! That and the fact that I hold a pilot license! I want to paraglide from 14,000 feet over the high altitude lakes on flat mountains in Kyrgyzstan where I filmed with my twin drones. My goal is to cut cost by building my own electric motor which is more silent.

[@michaelpendleton2158]

@@thedronehorseman4713 That sounds awesome!!! Try to document as much of it as you can on video, that would make a great series to watch!

Back in 2015, the centennial of the viaduct was going to be commemorated with a steam hauled passenger train over the bridge. Because of issues with the railroad, it was canceled, along with most of the centennial celebrations.

[@WhiteFlare]

16:16 Best moment ever!

[@johnvanalphen2884]

Thats Awesome Buddy Sick !!!
