[@TuckerGott]

Would you sign up to learn to fly with me? 🤔

[@glock9462]

of course

[@alaska4229]

Hell yea

[@BigJohnMemes]

I might probably would

[@javellemartin9760]

Ya

[@papillonpow]

HELL YEAH SHABOEY

[@JakeHemmerle]

Always a pleasure kicking it with you, and thank you for giving me my first taste of powered flight :)

[@QuellyQ]

I want to fly been having dreams about it

[@JudsonGraham]

10/10 this dude is a legendary instructor. Changed my life :)

[@johnskees9823]

Mad props to you Judson🤙🏼 You’ve come so far in your journey and I absolutely love your videos!! Keep it up and I wish you all the success 💯

[@kurtcraig3421]

looks like your going to have a new job soon.

[@jerrysharp9722]

Judson met you at aviator two years ago . We met you didn’t train me . Anyway was looking into backcountry ppg when I saw Tucker video , I would like to finish my training with Tucker or your self via backcountry ppg if possible I DK just looking for best life for me . Thanks for any help .❤🙏🏻❤️

[@adventureswitharizonaart6117]

And your little trip to Mexico is changing mine. Its trickling down.

[@anthonycochren2513]

Met you, sir, at Bad Apples 2022. Was so cool to meet you, Minyard, and all my inspirations that drove me to start flying. Shame they kicked Minyard out that year though. He put on one hell of a badass foot drag and acro show.

[@_DREBBEL_]

Idk if I'm the average viewer on this channel being that I could never have the balls to do what this young man just did, but hearing the giddy joy that he experienced upon success was so beautiful. This country offers the most amazing opportunities for all of us and I'm so happy to see yall take advantage. Bravo guys!!

[@error.418]

15:14 18:46 Love to see a student abort a landing and come around instead of sticking out a low turn, great coaching from Tucker, great decision making from the student. Respect for including that.

[@TuckerGott]

Exactly! We briefed this beforehand.

[@craigbeavers8764]

No, Not a chance! LOL! When I saw my first video of you doing PPG back in 2017 I said to myself 'That's it"!!! That's what I've been dreaming! I immediately got training and have been flying for seven years now! Thanks man! Keep doing your thing and I will keep following and supporting!

[@harryparker8116]

i just said this to myself too, its just crazy, one day i will learn and never stop flying lol

[@raian1323]

@@harryparker8116same imagine flying over gorgeous mountains

[@johnskees9823]

OMG … it hurts me to say, but this may be my fav video to date🤙🏼 (there are so many favs😂) I love the fact that Jake (an accomplished BASE jumper) said he was scared at about 100ft. He wasn’t used to being under canopy and going up😂

[@Saxofaxo]

right? probably weird, if you are used to going down only.

[@OvoidMarble-bx5bm]

Found myself laugh-crying hearing him on the radio on his first flight! (I remember my first, and that was so so good to hear!) This might just be the best video you've ever published; for the best of reasons. Bravo for this one dude! "..and airplane noises!"

[@patj24343]

Yes ,sign me up!!! I am a retired veteran,who has been following you now for 13 years give or take a day or two and inspired me to go buy a wing and started kitting last spring and went to Paragliding school that fall and now i"m hooked.I think you would make an awesome instructor .

[@jasonwinterboer5232]

Tucker, I'm 41 and live in Arizona. I've been having dreams of flying a paramotor since i first started watching your videos about 3 years ago. I'm not in a financial position to take on paranororing as a full time recreational activity, but I am finding myself with some additional freedom in my life and would honestly consider trying out some lessons from you (or maybe just a tandem flight) if you offered it! (Though, to be honest, actually flying solo is a pretty intimidating though!!) Welcome to Arizona! And, who knows, maybe our paths will cross in the near future 😎👍

[@chicketychina8447]

Avoid this guy like the plague..... He's just an average nobody pretending to be an expert...

[@robertgoodale7204]

Bro you are right on the money with your life track. Moving to Arizona was the perfect "next step" for you. I used to live there and have few negative things to say about it. Okay ya, gets hot but being in Las Vegas so long I'm used to it. I firmly believe opportunities are going to cascade your way. Hell ya, start the school. You would have no issues getting students, most likely a waiting list and getting as busy as you want. And no problem recruiting other instructors. You are also centrally located within a half day's drive to SO many cool flying and jumping places. And much more mild winters. I look forward watching many new videos. At some point our paths will probably cross again flying places so I look forward to hearing your stories. Until then, keep the blue side up!

[@chrislofgren1245]

Chris 65 from California...heck yeah... I'm so close to pulling the pin, only thing holding me back was finding the right instructor and you are it...I joked once to my wife about trying to talk you into teaching me... now this is it. I'd love to be considered..😊 Thanks Chris

[@1sanremy]

Thanx for this exciting training session. Peace & love

[@dr.strangelove7739]

This was a great video! Watching people learn to fly is so enjoyable. I never thought about it before, but it was a lot of fun watching your friend accomplish so much in such a short period of time.

[@daverohn383]

I would absolutely sign up! Your videos just went up a huge notch buddy! You're a natural instructor!

[@tilghmansmith5705]

That was a great video. Love seeing our skydivers getting into PPG. I always have a hard time explaining the differences between the sport canopy and the pg... I liked your explanation. Great to see you working with students!! Congratulations Jake and BLUE SKIES!! 🪂🤙🍺

[@flyingdanwitha29sedan]

Dude I got to say! Super epic first flight! Man your videos are to me, some of the best KZbin videos to ever watch! You are the man!

[@danielking9847]

Your timing for this couldn't be more perfect for me! I am in the process of finding a school, as well as a motor and a used A or B wing to get started on. I've flown several tandem flights on a trike within the last two years, with the real goal of adding foot-launch paramotoring to my list of activities in 2024. To learn from you would be a dream and an honor! I'm in Southern California and available to schedule with you at almost anytime. You will never find a more willing, able, or grateful student than "yours truly!" I'm an action addict and adrenaline junkie, and an all-around sports enthusiast at a high level. I snorkel and scuba dive, rode a 750cc "rice rocket," rode a 450cc motocross dirt racer, rollerskate (quads), was a life guard, played football, was a Wrestler in HS, and the list goes on! Since first seeing your videos nearly 3 years ago now, I've become absolutely obsessed with learning to fly. Please reach out to me so we can get this on our calendars! Can't wait to hear from you!!

[@KeatShadows]

You are a great teacher, good for you.

[@L2FlyMN]

I’m excited for you guys! Fun transition!

[@roberteshelman5917]

It's so funny to see people express the same emotions I had after my first flight. Great video and a big congratulations! Tucker, you're a natural teacher!

[@dr.strangelove7739]

Such an awesome video! Love it!

[@SneakZ88]

Really good video Tucker been watching ya vids for yrs now and this one has made me pull the trigger now booking in lessons then will look into my own rig, i am in Australia but definitely a good next step to train people your good at what you do and im sure its your calling

[@joeofalltrades6773]

I would sign up in a minute! I live in NY and have no problem getting time off and traveling for this bucket list checkoff. I've followed you on KZbin for a few years now and could not think of a better teacher! I have tandem skydived, ride motorcycles in season and am looking for my next adventure!

[@baka75]

Yes 100 percent I loved the video. I was thinking how lucky this guy is learning from the GOAT. I wish he had a go pro on for his first flight. The cinematography was beautiful. Do more videos like this please

[@jshenbdjwla1463]

Experiences awesome. Friends like that, priceless

[@marcobusch]

Amazing! It would be an amazing experience learning from you.

[@august7115]

This video had me smiling from ear to ear. I love seeing peoples first launch 🪂. Congratulations on your first flight

[@jamesstumpf75]

A few things here. The first thing is congratulations Jake! That was awesome! The second thing, two hours with Tucker is better than two days with Kurt Fister lol 😂 The third thing, is, it’s about time you’re doing a quasi school! You’re gonna be awesome at it! Good luck With getting into the training of the sport!

[@michaelhicks7071]

I would definitely sign up for training. You definitely have what it takes to be an instructor.

[@ncarr92]

Been watching you for a year and a half since the first time i went sky diving and have been hooked on the idea of flying at some point The class could just be push i need to get going!

[@ap3xp4nda365TTV]

this was amazing! fun to watch!

[@EddieLouw-zv1eb]

I was hoping that this day would come when you start your training academy. Can't wait for the new KZbin content, greetings from South Africa.

[@davew5383]

That looked like an amazing first, second and third flights, with his first wingtip touch, AAA+👍🙂 Congratulations Jake👍🙂

[@DoubleD_1981]

Dude Tucker .... I will go buy a wing and motor now.. you are an amazing teacher as well as a pilot that i would feel 💯 percent safe with you ... this was amazing content as well.. keep em coming man.. i think you found your calling in this journey of life bro

[@PaulAndRachelle]

I'd sign up for your class, Tucker! Let's go!!

[@shaneross7428]

I would definitely take lessons from you. I would drive to wherever I had to go. I bought gear already and I have been researching the best teacher that resonates with me. To learn from the person who got me into the sport would be awesome.

[@dudeman_1970]

Great video Jake did great!

[@ninefour5318]

Hey Tucker, I first saw para-motoring stumbling across your videos. I've watched maybe 30 of them or so but found the sport so interesting I bought "The Powered Paragliding Bible" out of pure interest alone on your recommendation. I can't say much about the sport but I can tell that you have what it takes to be a good leader and instructor. Absolutely if I was to ever take a class there is not a doubt in my mind that it would be your school should you ever have one. You have established a serious track record of your skills, knowledge, and your demeanor; so people have no doubt what to expect from you in my opinion. You got this, for real. It makes sense. There are so many bad teachers in so many fields, people need solid mentors and leaders to emulate and help set a good example for your sport. You already have a leg up because people just need to watch a few of your videos to know what they are in for. It should also go without saying that its not "selling out" to take advantage of your hard work for the benefit of the sport and yourself. In the end you just have to trust your own gut. Just wanted to give you some encouragement and a thank you for introducing me to this sport. Hope to be in your class one day!

[@eeeezypeezy]

Since I first discovered paramotoring by way of your channel showing up in my youtube feed, I've wanted to do it. Still saving up for lessons and gear, but if there were a Tucker Gott academy I could take my lessons at when the time comes you better believe I'd sign up 😁

[@tango_sierra8608]

Going to wait to watch this but just commenting that seeing a 20+ min video on the main channel makes me so happy. Love these longer videos

[@ik04]

A go-around is a whole new concept for him and he took it! Good job.

[@arcadia7816]

I’ve been watching your videos year a year ago. I enjoy it, this video inspire me to buy a wing and motor. Thank Tucker Gott “ My Pro Instructor “.

[@MidMOSmark]

After watching you for years I can say you've given me a lot of insight in how to fly a paramotor. I would love to learn with you and feel like I would pick it up rather quickly! I however am in Missouri, and a ways from Arizona 😞but I would gladly make the trip!

[@ddl10]

Nice job man from Ottawa Canada 🇨🇦👍

[@Niwaki-tuinbonsai]

Jake is a super talent: it looked easy, that's the way! Your courses will be interesting content. Looking foreward to advanced courses also.

[@camiam119]

I would totally take lessons from you, however I just need a decent amount saved up to buy the proper equipment, so it might take me until next summer at the least. I've been watching you for over 3 years and me and my wife are interested in getting started! Good job with all that you do!

[@hateeternalmaver]

Dude whatever you're using now for your helmet cam loos amazing!

[@jackrolfson312]

Do it it would be well worth your time! Very fun to watch.

[@jeffreyburnside3786]

OMG! So inspiring!

[@Saxofaxo]

wohooo, love it. Especially the low altitude flying.

[@reginaldwashburn2274]

YES!!!! IM DOWN FOR SOME RISKY BISCUITS TRAINING. ❤❤❤

[@infinityscreenprinting]

Im in...will totally go and learn!

[@joshstauber3335]

That was so awesome to watch. Nice job sir! 🎉✌️🍻🎊

[@colekaminer9064]

Hell,yeah. Sounds like the experience of a lifetime. Cant wait so see what you Gott. 😄

[@dagobey]

Yes i would love to learn from you Tucker I’ve been watching you for at least 5 years or more

[@bishopkinlyside8477]

Hi guys, wow that looks fantastic. Unfortunately I could never do it only got one leg I’d have to hop to it LOL up the good work. Absolutely love this video

[@Rocket_Prophet]

Absolutely! I would sign up!!!!

[@The-Day-Off]

I’d love to learn to do this. Looks so fun

[@Lizlodude]

With an experienced co-instructor like you mentioned, totally (though def not this spring, yay money. At least AZ is closer than FL) Would be cool for people to have a chance to hang out with you and learn to fly, plus a great way to improve your own skill at something is to try and teach it to someone else.

[@DeltasAdventures]

absolutely would chose your training over anywhere else!

[@enumclawlaw5394]

Very informative video.

[@PPGDV]

Damn good first takeoffs and landings. Quite impressed.

[@davidmack7018]

Watched this good ability and reality check yet taking flight instruction to heart & mind; I'm impressed. Good job all.

[@johnnywisconny]

First flights are always magical. 🤙noice!

[@paraglidingprospector]

Arizona-based paraglider pilot here. I’d absolutely sign up for a Tucker Gott Training Course! I’m looking to transition over from PG to PPG and you’ve got me looking at the SP140 now too. 😂 Welcome to Arizona! 🌵 PS. My instructor and fellow PG buddies own and operate a couple of paraglider tow rigs here in AZ too. Could be a good way to get your newer students into the basics of launching and landing prior to throwing on a motor. HMU if you want to join up for some towing and get some launches in too. ✌🏼

[@therealchayd]

If I lived in the US, I definitely would take your training course, you have a calm and patient and focused demeanour so would be ideal for learners.

[@Mrremusakajack]

Great video 💯 I remember my first flight paragliding 😍

[@lxcoupe]

Tucker, I've been watching your content for a few years now. I have a buddy who lives in Florida that has been paramotoring for a few years now. We are both manned pilots and expert rc pilots. I moved across the country right before he started his paramotor journey. If I had stayed I'm sure that we would be flying paramotors together as well. I would say that you have been a positive and a driving force in growing the paramotor hobby. The natural progression, especially if you like to teach would be to start instructing. Either way please keep making content.

[@adeleon401]

This deserves way more recognition and views

[@rule1dontgosplat]

Looked like an epic flight with absolutely gorgeous scenery. Hollywood pays big money for color like that. Well done.

[@EvilKen01]

Dam it!! I would have definitely gone to your flight school if it was in NJ!! I hope you do open a school out there. You are a very likable and would be a great instructor!! Do it!!!

[@kellmac]

I'd love to see more first-time flights! Honestly, of all the para motoring content I've seen, you seem to know your sh!t better than most. So, hell yeah... you having a school would be a great step!

[@digbysdownunder]

If i lived in the states.. absolutely 100%.. luv ur wk Tucker.

[@allwaysreadyman]

I would love to master this flight style with you. You seem like a solid mentor in this realm. I grew up flying with my father, he is private pilot, just flys his airplanes for fun and have logged large swaths of hours copiloting with him but this totally matches my adventure excursion based personality. You've helped restoke my inner fire in a new way brother. I honestly am astonished that I haven't mastered this yet. If you needed a devoted student to hone in on the mastery of teaching this, lets rock and roll! ~ Michael ~

[@TravisHailston650]

I'd make the trip to AZ to train with you, for sure. Only a few places out here in CA, and not all with the best reviews. Put something together!

[@zamoaleks]

Thanks for the lessons. Just ordered my first para motor from Alibaba. Should be starting my first flight in 3 weeks. Wish me luck!

[@Spyder76137]

Rad! I’m sure Jeff Fletcher or Nik Rasheta would be happy to swoop in as an assistant instructor out in San Tan Valley if you decide to train more folks.

[@madgicmike8451]

Wow. 2 hour training. This looks so easy anyone can do it! Thanks Tucker for increasing awareness about how simple and consequence free this sport can be! It's exaclty what this sport needs!!!!

[@TuckerGott]

You would have to be an idiot to think it was that simple after actually watching the video. 😂

[@error.418]

Yeah, it is not simple and consequence free. Tucker did a good job pointing that out, especially at the end. The student here has sister sport experience, this is atypical for most students and this student had the awareness and Tucker gave good coaching to have the student making good decisions about landing go arounds, etc. Is this sport approachable and can be done safely? Absolutely! But is it simple and consequence free? Absolutely not.

[@rule1dontgosplat]

You’re absolutely correct. I figured it couldn’t be that hard but OMFG it takes a long time to get it.

[@eamonshields2754]

Well done boys, I can't wait to feel that first feeling of flight!! Safe Skies 🪂🌅

[@andybee4236]

Judson, as he spent a season as an instructor. You are good with people. Teaching unknown people can be quite difficult. Talk to Judson and aviator, they will help you heaps. Forward is your direction, with the biscuits.

[@andybee4236]

My face is sore from smiling. Smashed it, both of you.

[@87bones87]

Bro you and your crew would make a banging school!

[@Blessingdrop]

The school content would be super cool and agreed nice change of pace for us even!

[@neiljurik1089]

Hell yea I would be 1000% in I just need a time and date please keep us in the loop

[@pjbj3370]

I am sure your going to have more than enough people interested in RBPFS featuring the legendary Tucker Gott. I look at the superstitions everyday, bucket list to paramotor the mountain range.

[@seanmorey9845]

This is super cool, and yes, you should absolutely start your own school!

[@jerrysharp9722]

I am in Az I am 60 yo went through aviator in Florida two years ago at your advice . Thank you . I have 17 flights I own a wing no motor would like to finish my training . And acquire. Confidence and skills .

[@mattc.310]

That was pretty cool. He took to it quickly.

[@t8erchip]

Yes I would! I to have recently move to Arizona outside of Phoenix near the Superstition Mountains. In California I flew paragliders.

[@odins2ravens]

I would totally sign up. I live in Florida though, so will have to consider other options

[@renevelez9444]

Interesting you did this video. I am a GA pilot and have thought about learning to fly paramotors. The dynamics of a flexible foil, power plant management and physical requirements are totally different but many principles of flight are similar. Still, its a great open air flight adventure, love to become one with the wing. :)

[@Tuliorfs]

I gotta buy one of these!!!

[@Ambientn0iz]

Did you say you're in AZ now? What a coincidence! I was actually shopping around to get training for some time this year. Couldn't decide on whether to stay local near jersey/pa, or go to florida like you suggested, and my third choice was to find a school in az and crash at my friends place instead of an airbnb while I'm learning. Arizona, new jersey, I'd sign up with ya wherever you are for sure!

[@chipwright6193]

He did great!

[@determinednetworkguy]

I'd sign up. Been wanting to do this for years.

[@shaggy85021]

Absolutely. Let me know where and when to sign up.

[@error.418]

I appreciate you recognizing right at the top (and at 19:30) that this is not "proper training" and that there are certifications for paramotor instructors. It comes off as honest and also lays a good foundation for any viewers to know that it's valid to check certifications, whatever you may think of the available certifications. Respect.

[@TuckerGott]

Thanks! Some people don’t get that, apparently. 😂

[@Pokey6767]

I would absolutely sign up if I lived closer. I live in PA. But love your videos.

[@PaulRawlins2]

112% interested in a course this Spring!!
