Getting Risky Over The Reservoir

Support This Channel-
teespring.com/the-airfoil-t-s...
This night was beautiful. One of those 1% nights where the weather is absolutely perfect. I launched from a small middle school with no shoes and headed to the reservoir. I had never tried a bare foot water foot drag but I was not disappointed. After a satisfactory amount of risky reservoir flying, I flew south and intercepted Jaclyn on the way to Shoprite. After she left, I meandered back to my launch site staying a few hundred feet high. I had about 20 minutes of sunlight left and the school was on a hill, so I dropped into the valley for some low flying around a few hay trucks. The flight ended with this beautiful sunset from directly above the middle school and a (as soft as I could make it for a 16m wing and no wind) landing on my bare feet.

[@elijahschwindt7403]

The chase camera adds a whole new level. Please continue to use it! :)

[@TuckerGott]

Definitely! I'm stoked that everyone loves it.

[@twentyrothmans7308]

It is tremendous! Always a pleasure to watch your piloting.

[@ahaveland]

Was a beautiful flight! Great to escape from humdrum life with you for a while. The chase cam is a great new addition too! Yeah, would be a good idea to shorten its line a little as it catches the prop wash sometimes, so if it were a few feet higher the air should be a bit cleaner. Less worry about snagging it on a tree too! :-)

[@JerseyBricklayer]

The chase cam is some next level shit. I feel like more pilots from youtube will start using them. How long till woody gets one? :-D

[@MrAustindies84]

Elijah Schwindt it's like a videogame

Well if you engine fails and you glide into the water you are screwed but if you glide to the ground you can still land

[@TygQ]

Stil of your high in the sky you can just glide to the ground

When I first came across this channel, I thought, "how weird, a channel where some guy just flies around on one of those thingies." But now I think I like it.

[@NickJanson94]

I like the chase camera a lot. Good work man, keep it up!

[@TuckerGott]

Thanks man! I'm digging the chase cam too.

[@richardsilves6172]

Hey man I watch and like your videos. I live in upstate New York, how much money would it take to get a started flying as a hobby?

[@NickJanson94]

Ever think of checking into a video stabilization software to make the chase cam look smoother?

[@MarkLoves2Fly]

I like the design. Where did you pick this one up? What did it cost you?

[@Mr5thWave]

Skybean gave it to him for testing and his opinion of it.

[@brandonroadarmel3291]

That chasecam shot of the sunset with you blocking the sun was pretty epic dude.

[@e-pointer2262]

Wait how he makes chasecam, is that a drone?

[@saturny2k383]

@@e-pointer2262 no it's like a dart that follows behind his wing like a badmiton bird

[@ethanaut9526]

I love you and everything you do man your living my dream!

[@atclfi3]

One of my favorite videos. So beautiful.

[@newjerseybill3521]

I would think a good paramotor class would be to get an old Paramotor, gass free it, modify an old harness with easy change out sections to be cut (using sections of old car seatbelts, maybe), and let the students practice getting out of the gear under controlled conditions in a swimming pool. That way if they ever did go down in water they would have had practice getting out safely.

[@nkynative2850]

New Jersey Bill For sure, training for that scenario should be required, one could have an on board inflatable too. Like the ones divers use... They are pocket sized, its a empty deflated bag that has a small CO2 cartridge that inflates it in seconds to create a large balloon

[@starninja7742]

New Jersey Bill hey is that Merrill Creek Res?

[@legolas_fire7819]

Star Ninja look like spruce run I live very near to Merrill creek res and there is a quarry near it but with all of the curves in the res it looks more like spruce run

[@skygodmlm8290]

And you think it's going to be easy?

[@jaimecunningham1057]

@Tucker Gott as im sure others will mention, look up those new foot skins...i think thats what there called. they are these super thin rubber skins that actually stick to the bottom of your feet like stickers....i bet they'd be perfect for days like in this video so you can have the best of both worlds, bare feet but with some protection and grip on the bottom for take off and landing. 🤘🤙

[@seandowling5918]

The more and more I see this guys videos.. The more and more I want one of these flying machines. Wish I could afford one just one. That'll be happiness for me for a lifetime.

[@rayb3400]

[@stevenwalker1766]

Wow, almost 80K followers!!! You're doing great things for this sport.

Indeed he is! Tucker is great. Way better than that "super"-guy who must NOT be mentioned.

[@Godshock777]

The super guy is definately a trip but you have to admit He can flat out fly...course I just watch, don't have the dough to buy one so I'm no expert but the guy does some amazing stuff from my amateur opinion. Tuckers still the legend though lol... Great work Tucker!

[@jimmyclemons9497]

While watching your videos I feel like a bird flying. I've always wanted to fly. In your old videos you fly above the corn stalks, cliffs and trees which looks/feels so much like a bird...thanks Tucker I really really like all your videos

@Master Of puppets bruh... 3 years. 3 years. Wanna know what’s happened in 3 years. A lot. Got a new puppy, bought a house, finished paying my car loan, got a new job, built a camper.... a lot happened. It’s been good. It’s made me happy. But somehow, you ran across this comment I left 3 years ago. And for some reason you don’t believe that I busted out laughing. Do I remember laughing out loud... no. Could have I laughed out loud? Maybe so. My friend, quite honestly you may be right. But at the end of the day, this was a wasted comment. I bid you the best and a happy turkey day little homie. May your laughs be filled with busting.

[@wavesport777]

I have a question for you Tucker. I do a lot of white water kayaking, and after a day on the river I get what I call "the floats"... it basically feels like you are still on the water. Do you experience this after flying for a few hours?

[@ohioguy215]

Sea legs...only from the water.

[@wavesport777]

I used to fly fixed wing and rotary wing... I would get similar sensation. I was wondering if its more extreme with paramotor

[@willobrien6788]

wavesport777 I get it from trampolining for over 3 hours

[@Mounta9n]

I fly paramotor and I do get this sensation sometimes after a bumpy/ turbulent flight. Especially if I go home after an early morning flight and lay down and close my eyes for a nap. I feel like I'm bumping around in the sky. I love it. And then sometimes (most times) I don't feel that sensation at all. I feel it more after bumpy flights.

Ok, how much do these cost, this is like my dream and I would love to have one. Also what kind of licensing would I need?

[@pogdog8689]

they cost about 30k for the motor only. you dont need training technically but it is highly recommended

[@SlickD217]

Viper the paramotor itself runs around $8,000 give or take but you can get them used for under $3,000. The wings vary but you can get a good beginner glider for around $3-$4,000.

On the chase cam topic: is the strength of the string set to be low enough that if it got snagged on something it would break before causing you any flight problems or hurt you by yanking on you? Great video as always.

[@Mounta9n]

They usually have a pretty weak ring or something connecting them to the glider. That weak connection is meant to break away if the cam got snagged. At least that's the way it SHOULD be set up. I'm sure Tucker's got it that way.
