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

[@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...

[@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 .

[@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.

[@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!!

[@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

[@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!"

[@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

[@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!

[@docdurdin]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@michaelhicks7071]

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

[@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! 😌

[@anthonyburke5656]

Hi Tucker, may I add a few comments, because you have been in the Sport/Activity for so long and are so skilled, you probably forget some basics. 1. Hands, get students to use gloves, I find Paintballers gloves, no fingers padded backs and reinforced palms, to be good. 2. Good footwear, protection for rolled ankles. 3. Protect knees, may look a bit precious, but knee pads while learning.

[@KeatShadows]

You are a great teacher, good for you.

[@MrBusby2011]

Hell yeah, I would!

[@eamonshields2754]

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

[@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. 😂

[@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. ✌🏼

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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 .

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

[@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 ~

[@adeleon401]

[@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.

[@ncarr92]

I think you would be good at teaching people to fly. You are very calm and collected and analytical and those are good traits for someone instructing. I think people would absolutely want to come learn from you. If I didn't already know how to fly I would!

[@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.

So Tucker, I've commented a few times, and just got your socks and beanies in the mail. I live in central Ohio and yesterday we got 4 inches of snow. I noticed that you taught your friend to fly in about 2 hours. Well, I got trained by Capt K. And I believe that your training was more complete than his. But we did watch the Jeff goins risk and reward video. And I got unlimited free training so that's nice. Isn't it awesome to be flying much more than in Jersey
