I Taught Him To Paramotor In TWO HOURS!!!

[@TuckerGott]

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

[@glock9462]

of course

[@alaska4229]

Hell yea

[@Biggest-john]

I might probably would

[@javellemartin9760]

Ya

[@TheTeachingServant]

Is that a serious question??

[@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.

[@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.

[@_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!!

[@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

[@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!

[@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 .

[@torsteneide4915]

I love how your so mentally invested in your friends first flight that you’re own excitement was elevated with his flying success every step of the way as if it was your own first flight. A good sign of a good teacher me thinks. Loved the video and hope to try this myself one day soon despite already being 61 years old. Thanks so music for your inspiring channel. Your excitement about powered wing flying is simply infectious !

[@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...

[@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!"

[@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!!

[@daverohn383]

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

[@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

[@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

[@Keaton-Casablanca]

You are a great teacher, good for you.

[@michaelhicks7071]

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

[@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.

[@NitrosGus13]

Great teacher and great student..!!!! Great job both you guys !!!!

[@irvinside]

Tucker, I've been a huge fan of your channel for a long time, and as a kitesurfer, hydrofoiler, and former paraglider, I'm really interested in learning paramotoring from you. This summer would be the perfect time to take the next step! 😌

[@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!

[@landonpearson8756]

Tucker you got me hooked I ordered my efi, all in with a background in speed-flying I have been waiting for the tech in the engine. So no excuses where is the LZ in AZ.?

[@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!

[@mortenberg2897]

You do a GREAT job as a teacher/trainer. Very nice video as allways ..

[@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

[@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.

[@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. 😂

[@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!

[@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!

[@murrayoguinn5923]

Man,,, you make it look so easy.. I seen you up on a levey neer waterloo, IL with a few others. Wanted to stop, but just got off work and my ride/driver did not much care. I really enjoy your talent and would like to learn this at 43 years of age. funny, I watched your video when you left the Flight Express Hanger at Cahokia, IL for the air show under the arch. I worked in that hanger. pretty cool, small world. Thanks for the ambition!)

[@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!

[@alanbretherton4426]

What a great video. I would love to try it at some point but i would definitely be nervous, especially now I'm 61 but still in good shape and strong. Thank you.

[@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 .

[@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.

[@davidmack7018]

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

[@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!

[@chrisoconnell5727]

I'd LOVE to do the course !! I have several airplanes of my own & fly a Gulfstream for a living , lets 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.

[@davew5383]

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

[@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 “.

[@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 😁

[@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.

[@dagobey]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@Impossibro]

Yo tucker I will fly to AZ right now if you teach me like this! 😅

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.

[@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

[@1sanremy]

Thanx for this exciting training session. Peace & love

[@t8erchip]

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

[@davidseiler55]

Yes. I’m at Oshkosh right now and falling in love with this. I’d fly with you.

[@goldspout]

Great idea. Would definitely be on board to learn paramotoring. Some years back I flew my own Cessna 172. My wife may join also.

[@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!

[@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!

[@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.

[@MikesLife87]

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

[@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. :)

[@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. ✌🏼

[@madeljacky]

Thats very impressive for a guy to pick that up in two hours, it also got a lot to do with the clear method of instructions and the way you did it, well done Tucker for introducing another guy to Paramotoring

[@MrBusby2011]

Hell yeah, I would!

[@docdurdin]

I can't think of anyone more qualified and responsible to learn from.

[@mikesimons1544]

Got a trainer chute from you about a year ago, was done with that. Had parachuted multiple times 10 years ago, but that was blah. Not hing against parachuting, but also not going to do over adventurous maneuverers either.

[@jshenbdjwla1463]

Experiences awesome. Friends like that, priceless

[@georgellerena4882]

Great teacher! the dude has to control his mouth and emotions, this is being shared with nice people. His overcondidence is inmature.

[@Per-WOLF]

You could come teach in Fairfield, Conn you would have a lot of students, I guarantee that many Brazilians would want to participate in the classes... I would really like to learn to fly!!!

[@Takemehome99]

You could always get a a visa and visit the USA

[@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!

[@Ragnarok_Rob]

I live in Mesa. Yes, I would LOVE to volunteer to learn from you. A couple of questions, though: Would you provide the paramotor for the training? What would the approximate cost be for the training? And would the training be on the weekend or weekdays? I would seriously like to have you train me. I am starting AFF in a couple of weeks and this would be awesome as paramotoring is something I've always wanted to do but didn't know how to get started, especially locally here in Mesa. I am also interested in BASE jumping once I get 200 jumps.

[@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. Conference and skills .

[@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.

[@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 ~

[@dr.strangelove7739]

YES TUCKER, OPEN YOUR SCHOOL, BUT FIRST 1) GET A GREAT LAWYER, 2) GET YOUR AGREEMENTS WRITTEN UP RELEASING YOU FROM LIABILITY, 3) GET GOOD INSURANCE, 4) WRITE DISCLOSURES TO BE SIGNED BY STUDENT NOTIFYING THEM THEY MIGHT DIE DURING YOUR LESSONS, 5) AND HAVE FUN! JUST PROTECT YOURSELF FIRST. ALSO, LOOK INTO ANY CERTIFICATIONS YOU CAN GET AS AN INSTRUCTOR.

[@dr.strangelove7739]

Such an awesome video! Love it!

[@martinanidjar]

Yes, I would seriously try to be one of the first students, and if scheduling does not permit, I do hope you do start a school. I am a private pilot with an instrument rating, I am 53 and I run 12 to 15 miles per week, so I think I could handle it. I used to sail boats, was part of safety and rescue in a race environment, so very safety conscious. The 2 week in one shot requirement of other places has been the constraint for me.

[@ddl10]

Nice job man from Ottawa Canada 🇨🇦👍

[@marcobusch]

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

[@mangoito]

Beautiful work. I just bought a Vittorazi Evo 100 and APCO Thrust 3 for cheap. I will be using this and many other videos as self training. If I survive, you’ll hear about it.. or not haha.

[@TuckerGott]

Please don't. Find an instructor.

[@L2FlyMN]

I’m excited for you guys! Fun transition!

Most definitely would, south Mississippi guy wanting to do this so bad. I'm close to a few private air ports. Been a dream for a log time.

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

[@NotAnotherTim]

4:10 The shaddow/cloud in the (center left) background looks like someone on a paramotor!

[@AzBob01]

From someone who has never flown a paramotor, I think you would make an excellent instructor. If I were to pursue paramotoring, I think I would have to have someone take me up in a trike just to see if I would panic or enjoy the hell out of it. I'm afraid of heights, but I love flying in planes, big and small. A pilot let me take the controls for about 15 minutes on a flight and now I'm seriously thinking of getting my Sport License. Flying is such a thrill.

[@johanvantonder4642]

Hi Tucker, I have been watching your videos for a long time and yes I would like to do a course with you.

[@dynamicdavid]

@TuckerGott You ABSOLUTELY + DEFINITELY... certainly Must have a Very Super Clear disclaimer, with multiple initialed areas plus ‘wet (blue ink) Signatures after a multiple choice ‘Test’ as part of “ground school”. also, What do You use for COMMUNICATION strategy? DO You use a ‘Multiple frequency’ programable type (Amateur /‘Ham’) Radio? A few easy to get radio are easily available (like Baofeng or TiD-H3 Radio, a more expensive hand held isn’t required if you buy/ get a recent radio in 2024) especially since MOST ‘air traffic’ {Airport/flight} control towers typically use AIR BANDs (just search for local frequency choice/options: like VHF 118.625 yet differ by country: UK uses a relay to UHF 455.550 others relay to Fm bands. ...Because Who wants to be BUZZed by ‘Fixed wing’ jet aircraft? plus avoiding flying over any sort of “unknown” restricted air spaced... just seems like a great idea!

[@Love.Bliss.Peace.]

Absolutely Tucker, I would love to learn from you - would fly in from Denmark bringing skydiving experience and 7000 commercial pilot hours

[@Ceetizzle]

Jake's audio was kinda messed up, but a brilliant first flight. Good on ya buddy! Would I sign up? Yes please. I don't mind being a little freaked before the reward of lift-off. Dreaming about flying since a tyke, but it's so expensive. Got a motorcycle in my sixties; it scratches around the itch, but can't quite get it.

[@CRASHBOSSTUBE]

Heck yeah you would make an awesome instructor!
