The KEY To Being A Successful Paramotor Pilot

[@TuckerGott]

New PO Box is in the description! Send some stuff if you're into that!

[@ChrundleDaGreat]

Tucker Gott Yo have you got a playlist or something? I really dig the music you use in your videos man.

[@FreshTillDeath56]

Hey tucker, I have a question. What are your opinions on Black Hawk paramotors? Do you have any experiences with them?

[@TuckerGott]

@That one guy If you go to the Soundcloud link in the description, I normally repost every song I use for videos. I also have a 'liked tracks' playlist of other music.

[@TuckerGott]

@Freshtilldeath56 My first paramotor was a Blackhawk 125 and the experience was not good. Lots of mechanical issues and eventually poor customer support. Other people love them, but based on my experience, I couldn't recommend them.

[@ChrundleDaGreat]

Tucker Gott Sweet, thanks man! I didnt even see the link hidden down there lol

[@route66flyer29]

Here's a story you may find amusing (or not). I was in the USAF 1963-1967 and my job was survival techniques and equipment. I was stationed on on Guam (with 2 side trips to Nam) '65-'67 where the ocean breezes were constant. Launcheing B52's every night with five hours down time after the last one took off became pretty boring so I got the bright idea to take an old out of date chute, divide the risers in half and tie loops for hand holds and take it to the 40 acre open field behind our shop. Now I don't know if you've ever seen a military pilots chute open but their pretty damn big so when a big gust caught that damn thing and opened it up this dumb ass airmen found himself over 100' in the air hanging on for dear life. If the gusts hadn't died down one can only guess where I may have landed. After that when I got real bored (and it wasn't real gusty) I'd take a cute out back and fly one for fun. Guess you could say I started "kitting" huh? LOL *Dance the Skies*

[@DAS-Videos]

Great story. What the guys would have said if they saw you flying away :-)

[@route66flyer29]

Dasgfjkl: "There goes Steve up to his dumb ass tricks again" I imagine. LOL

[@route66flyer29]

steel belt scream: Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.

[@InsideOfMyOwnMind]

It reminds me of the song by the Animals. We gotta get out of this place If it's the last thing we ever do We gotta get out of this place 'cause girl, there's a better life for me and you

[@route66flyer29]

InsideofMyOwnMind: Guess I was thinking that was one way off the island. LOL

[@tinkertailor7385]

Lol.... Even when you're doing nothing, your videos are great to watch.... little glimpses of America, New Jersey, life, people, places.... You do a good job Tucker.

[@DyingWizardOdo]

LOL! Jaclyn working in a coffee shop +Tucker being addicted to coffee = .... ;-)

[@Hyperious_in_the_air]

I wonder how that relationship started, lol

[@AV8R_1]

Hey Tucker Connecticut guy here. Been a fan and subscriber for a long time, and I just want to say, I love this video! Last May I trained with Eric Farewell in Costa Rica, and by the end of the nine day course, I honestly left more frustrated than excited, but I ended up ordering a motor anyway that will arrive this Saturday. I was frustrated, because I felt like there was still a lot about kiting that I didn’t quite understand, and I feel like I really had a hard time keeping control of the wing even in the laminar beach wind. I’ve had a wing, for the last few months, that I’ve been kiting, and I hate to say it, but I learned more about how the wing reacts to the wind, and my inputs, by kiting it by myself than I can say I learned in training. Please don’t misunderstand this to mean that my training was not exemplary, because it was. What I’m saying is with all of the pressures in training to learn and absorb everything and then perform what you’re learning, I had very little success. But coming home in applying those fundamentals to my own wing without the pressures of being corrected by instructor or failing in front of my classmates, I actually became very comfortable in no time at all! - Anyway - be careful brother! Please don’t break your neck back flipping! 😜

[@nicoppg1907]

Hey @Tucker Gott, today I had mi first paramotor flight!! I started training a few months ago and today was the big payoff. I just wanted to let you know that you were a great inspiration to me and I guess I just want to say THANK YOU for keeping up this wonderful sport and keeping people motivated. Blesses to you my friend

[@TuckerGott]

So awesome to hear! Congrats on your first flight, that's what its all about!

[@deneshanmoodley1544]

This is Den here from South Africa I just really wanted to say that when you won that race, you inspired me.Hopefully one day I can be as awesome as you when it comes to using a paramotor.

[@robertdurbin4252]

Jacklyn knew what she wanted for dinner right away... that's a keeper.

[@aaronhorn6849]

that and she is a coffee barrister, flys PPG, and puts up with Tuckers shenanigans!

[@slodays1158]

Another awesome video Tucker. Timing is everything. Been getting so bored with all the kiting - almost ready to fly but now there are a few more things to try.

[@elviccc5869]

I didn't know about paramotors and things, I watched one of your videos were you were above the clouds and instantly subscribed keep up the work man!

[@thegeniusman8757]

I see you flying by my house sometimes, it looks cool!

[@King-Atlas]

love your passion for what you doing , people like you deserve to be the best . my regards to you and your lovely lady ✈📬

[@RakasansLegacy]

Hey Tucker, think you can do more Kiting videos and talk more in details with the lines? It's informative.

[@josephrossman1600]

I just bought a hoodie Tucker! Cant wait.

[@mseenan]

Hi Tucker, Great videos always, I want to suggest that you create a series of videos where you show us the ground handling techniques in all wind conditions and then how to be safe in air, doing landings etc with motor off, show us how you will make decisions to choose your landing spots etc, also tell us how to read weather conditions, it would be a complete series on but may not be training videos just the way you make your existing ones. Keep up the good work.

[@redwings263]

A stellar video, I enjoy watching so much.

[@davidscott7823]

Happy Thanksgiving Tucker and Jaclyn and families.

[@CraigSmith568]

She's a keeper! You asked her where she wanted to eat and she told you.

[@kgarrett67]

Can't wait to see the new website.

[@dylanjohnson7091]

7:39 I love his way with words

[@nellennatea]

Awesome video. Great to watch. I love the little flying remote control thing at the beginning. & I loved watching your acrobats/gymnastics & Face planting. All good. Thanks for sharing.

[@winamita15]

So much outdoor fun

[@robertcoffin166]

So which came first...the coffee...or Jaclyn. Lol.

[@dsparamotor6538]

Robert Coffin ;))😁 i think it was the coffee and like this he meet her 😉

[@Hako2004]

Happy Thanksgiving Tucker...and 479 K Tuckeranians!

[@SPIKEASAURUS]

Wait a minute you had 80k subs and then bam... half a million geezus well done

[@Damstraight68]

"Tucker Gott never shows his fails" lol 8:32

[@Indarow]

Thank you so much for posting some kiting stuff!! Happy thanksgiving from California!

[@LZBALiiSTa]

*Great video bro*

[@sparky5543]

OMG I love Chili's! I go at least once a year when I take my friends out for Christmas Dinner. I always, always get the chicken fried steak with the mash potatoes and corn on the cob :) Absolutely amazing if you have not tried it :)

[@hoodyk7342]

Glad yah got some new coffees to try, just make sure you eat before or while you drink your coffee, much better for digestion to have something digesting with your coffee. take care, keep flyin

[@DAS-Videos]

December can't come soon enough! That beard.

[@JafarCalley]

As a fellow beardy who has one all year round, I salute Tucker and his facial accouterments. :)

[@matthewwilson9749]

Hey @Tucker Gott. Greetings from Canada

[@veeemm4797]

Thank You Tucker You are the most positive force for us PPG; pilots . always enjoy your vids I do hope one day that you too will be an owner of a PPG school. You are skies above some jerks out there mr DS and mr KF......LOL.........

[@cageordie]

Ha! Aeropress! Brilliant. We got one as a fun experiment and now the espresso machine is in the garage.

[@frankmount226]

Another great video. Thank you

[@FrayAdjacentTX]

Aww yeah! Using the smart coffee maker! I love my Aeropress. Inverted method with a metal mesh filter is the best!

[@SternLX]

I rarely if ever comment on your video's. I just like to watch. But... OMG!! someone else that uses a coffee press. So rare in the age of Drip and Keurig machines.

[@dhooter]

Wow Asbury your way up there. I'm 2hrs South of you in Salem County. It's wide open down here and you can literally launch from my yard. Cruise along the shoreline of the bay. The more I watch the more I'm getting interested in trying to find some lessons.

[@jamesstumpf75]

All right!!! I can dig it!!

[@FlyersDistrict]

I'm hoping to start training at Lake Whales soon. Thanks

[@conwayfiddy4908]

Idk if you’ve said in the past where Jacklyn works but I wouldn’t have shown it on KZbin. Some weirdo might show up there now, it’s a pretty big problem for people with the bigger KZbin channels. Stay safe buddy.

[@RobNavPPG]

4 days haha. Where Im at its been 4 weeks of non flyable weather. It sucks bad! All of you know how it feels without spreading our wings as often as we’d like to.

[@MazdaBass971]

20 bucks says your gonna get nothing but coffee in your PO box. LOL

[@scotteaton1971]

I think he'd be ok with that.

[@MazdaBass971]

:D

[@MrBlancify]

I think that's what his hoping for :P

[@pajonate]

I will send him tea, and you send him the 20$, :-)

[@brianlam257]

Maybe he'll get 20 bucks

[@WindFireAllThatKindOfThing]

That feel good intro music choice....

[@3000gtwelder]

I didn't know you flew FPV, that's cool. You're pretty good.

[@austinshields8627]

Ever thought about adding some weighed sprints or hill repeats to your training to help with your launches? It definitely would have helped your Icarus launches with all that extra weight.

[@salahynwa9161]

Love your vids man

[@nigel8499]

Tucker Gott the "Rock God" of flight, way way before his time.

[@MrJdsenior]

Backflip was great! ;-)

[@dancarrol4558]

Dude this is a great channel! I seriously have to get into paramotoring

[@pschroeter1]

I like Volkswagens. I want to see your yellow VW that is always covered in your garage.

[@sadladcinn]

Yeah

[@easternwind4435]

The German plural of Volkswagen is Volkswagen (it's a singulare tantum).

[@jdean216]

Ok... didn’t see that coming. Doing a flip while kiting. Hummm. Pretty cool 😎

[@shadowshelbyz]

Yeah, till he nearly break his neck :)

[@ThisIsWheelLife]

The mid video ad that popped up was Nespresso coffee ad. I thought that was kind of funny lol

[@FreshTillDeath56]

I love the music so much :D

[@bbigpaws]

You really need to try that from a OneWheel. In fact, I really need to try that. I'm a pilot already (Private ASEL), but, never flew a paramotor.

[@ryanpogson9412]

NJ weather sucks at the moment ... Desperate to get a flight in!

[@wesbartl]

I wish you’d always show us stuff in your garage

[@tylermills79]

Not me lol I learned to fly rc in the early 80’s way before simulators and no buddy boxes so I had to do the ole dad takes off gets so much altitude that you can barely see the plane or what it’s doing , hands you the tx and once you start getting disoriented or crashing yanks it back from you and tries to save it lol tons of fun. Took a year to solo but before I new it I spent most of the 80’s and early 90’s racing quickie 500’s, formula one’s and warbirds competitively all over the country before I joined the Air Force spent 20 years there and am just now starting I pick the hobby back up.

[@Sethgolas]

Lately, every single time I try to kite, no matter what the forecast, the actual wind condition is flat with random gusts from 5-10mph. I'm thinking of fly out to the Caribbean ahead of hurricanes in order to deflect them by attempting to kite.

[@joe4324]

AeroPress for the WIN, I'm mostly cold-brew now, with AP as travel backup ;)

[@BrianKlidies]

That was hilarious when you bit it.

[@RedRoofGarage]

Nice SuperBeetle

[@MarkLoves2Fly]

Great video Tucker! If you're ever in Issaquah Wa. & want to kite, look me up. I have some favorite spots for kiting that have predictable, rotor conditions. (Great for preparing for the oh @&%! moments.) I'd love to kite or fly with you some time. Cheers bro!

[@consaka1]

Id love to see a walk around for that VW beetle. Looks in decent shape from what I can see.

[@oldedominion8782]

You're smart enough to use an AeroPress, all your coffee should be awesome ;)

[@MrCPPG]

I would take that weather over rainy Seattle.

[@neanderthor66]

Sorry, I'm too broke to send you coffee, but I strongly suggest Black Rifle Coffee Company's Just Black blend.

[@mynewgameplay6456]

I reccomend you to build a 'runway' out side your house to land the paramotor

[@jarrodchambers8185]

You can air swim like a housefly- but your intro song made me want to ram my head through a window. Kept remixing right at the climax

[@ikarosdream5971]

Ya man, every once in a while he chooses one of those copyrightless background songs that almost gives me a stroke. One time it sounded like 2 completely different songs with different tempos, time signatures, and worst of all, key signatures. It was 10,000 like nails on a chalkboard of different sizes and materials.

[@liate6404]

So helpful

[@BassFearDave]

You ate my favorite dish at Chili's! Love those Quesadillas!

[@WindFireAllThatKindOfThing]

Tucker, do you have a suggestion for a properly rigged trainer kite for ground handling practice? All of my trainer-sized wings have been specific to Kiteboarding, and those 3 line models are NOT appropriate to Paraglider practice. I might be able to handle my wing, but when showing friends how ground handling works, a 2-3 meter trainer would be better.

[@dondonswift]

OMG!!! a woman that knows where she wants to eat. She's a keeper.

[@jflight1691]

holy cow that biff is going to be on every fail compilation from now on XD

[@bspark119]

Loving the Casey Neistat vibes with the edit, it's pretty cool to see some more behind the scenes stuff!

[@chadgdry3938]

So, show us how you fold you r kite so that it exits your stuff bag so ready for deployment... just an idea for a quick vide for those of us just starting out.

[@CerebralDad]

"In a ironic series of events, epic paramotor sensation, Tucker Gott dies while kiting" ;) Thanks for sharing - stay safe!!

[@jonnyreverb]

Tell me more about this areo-press... My Mr. Coffee cappuccino machine makes some terrible ashtray bile unless I let it come to a boil with the lid off, then load 2 shots, yielding a single shot drinkable ice latte... If you follow the instructions, you get undrinkable utter crap.

[@briantrent1928]

I’m going to do this

[@geoffhayes905]

I love watching your videos. I am learning as much as I can before I take my classes to fly. Thank you for doing instruction videos for us beginners and helping make it as smoothly as possible to learn to control and fly. It helps me more than you know. I appreciate it a lot. Keep up the good job sharing your knowledge of flight. As a beginner to this what is the first piece of flying that I need master or get above anything else ?

[@elicollins3112]

Cool really cool

[@Ethan102224]

Can you do a video on your FPV setup?

[@b_mb4948]

Interesting video ;) But... I gotta know the story behind the yellow bug!

[@jasonbailey1166]

Best vid yet, you face planting bwhahaha 😁

[@kevinpietsch7818]

You are going to get so much coffee sent your way! You were very nice about that vac sealed stuff, I hope that doesn't hurt your coffee stocks in the long run... I'll try to send you a single origin or 2 at some stage from Australia. Thumbs up for Chemex, Aeropress and temp kettle... What do you have to grind?

[@unpluglvfree9507]

I like this guy, he takes time out of his hectic day to get a P.O. Box so you can send him free stuff

[@StarFyter1]

Wonder what website he speaks of? :) Good point brought up though. Just because you're "only" kiting, don't forget the helmet...

[@jond532]

yeeee boi

[@jameswil]

Haha sorry I laughed, but I'm glad it was the camera that the crack noise came from and not your neck!

[@petemac7969]

Great video. Was going to ask what kind of drone that was because I never saw one like it before. Got my answer about 3 comments below. Have a good one!

[@flying6676]

I think he is going to open up a PPG training school!!!

[@DAS-Videos]

I never saw anyone flip while kiting before. I have to ask, can you climb a pole while kiting? I think you can, if the wind didn't switch 90 degrees every two seconds.

[@140510140511]

Tucker, for the first time I saw a frame of a fixed wing aircraft in your shed. What is the story about that. Are you going to build it and let it fly.

[@randumb313]

Holy crap you go to the same post office as me :O

[@1scottws]

Is that a Legal Eagle chassis hanging from the rafters?

[@terrysullivan1992]

Kitfox

[@spenman40]

Great video! I was wondering how you get interested in a new wing you might want to get? Is there a one stop shopping site or do you have favorite manufacturers that you follow their websites. As someone getting into the sport I would like a website where I could go to look at the ratings for class a or b wings.

[@jamesfredrick3570]

Hey Tucker, great vid...also, what resource are you using to find out what is restricted air space?

[@goaliegillis00]

Do you have a separate harness for kiting? What is it if so? Thanks!

[@SyNRG]

Whe are you and Mr. Steele going to do the most insane collab ever?!?

[@SkynetSys0908]

Tucker! If you have some downtime and as long as its not too cold, my wife and I have a 3 br place ON the beach in cape may (capers condo)... Would love to have you and Jaclyn down for free as long as you introduce us to PPG! 😉
