Glad to see you back on the horse my brother!! That was a hard pill to swallow and I am so sorry for Jeff and his family. Keep doing what you love!!!

[@FreshTillDeath56]

We love you so much, Tucker. I seriously doubt Jeff ever had any regrets about flying even until the moment he left us. God speed Jeff, and It's good to see you back on KZbin again :)

Tucker, if you happen to see this, I am sorry about Jeff. I know he meant a lot to you. Moving on, thank you for your responsibility with your instruction when it comes to the sport. For those of you out there that want to get into this, PAY FOR THE PROPER TRAINING! I REPEAT. PAY FOR THE PROPER TRAINING. It is worth the few thousand in total cost (including beyond the class fees). Especially if you are going to be buying 10k in equipment. We are allowed to enjoy this sport. in its current form, because of responsibility and safety. Once those fall, more rules and restrictions will follow. Lets keep the community and name recognition its it current and positive form. Love you all.

[@tango_sierra8608]

Just realized how perfect the audio is. Damn you got it dialed. Can still here the motor faintly which would be weird if you couldn’t but yet zero wind noise and voice is crystal clear. Small things make a big difference in video quality

[@tmaurier]

I know this video is older. I'm stationed in Germany and I watch these paramotors fly by often. I find it so awesome. Paramotors,hot air balloons and gliders are popular over here. Watching them fly by and seeing your videos I really want to try this.

[@jesusestrada869]

Tucker, you are the great communicator. Nobody brings it all together like you do. I am 82, and not doing this sport at all, but I absolutely worship your videos.

[@mikeycourington2011]

Thanks for this, Tucker. I think despite all the videos you've released, sometimes both your old and newest viewers could use a good, solid return to the basics.

[@amateur-madman3047]

Despite his ignoring of this comment, his most recent videos that step away from his typical style also have less than his average number of views. It’s easy to see when you compare the past 4 excluding the most recent one since that isn’t really fair.

[@ANIMOUS8]

Glad to see you back and I'm sorry about Jeff. Hopefully we get to see a tribute video to Jeff. He was in so many of your videos. It would be nice to give him a farewell tribute.

[@popeyepanther4519]

Basic understanding = Complete!

[@redconfetti]

This video really helps me to understand so that I’m a bit more ready when I go into training with a school. Thanks Tucker

[@danoakley3649]

I enjoyed the clear and concise descriptions you gave throughout the different maneuvers.

[@gefginn3699]

Great post my friend. I've been waiting for this rundown 🤩

Tucker, Always a pleasure to watch your videos. I think of you all the time when I'm flying! Changed my life for the better! God bless!

[@Seadog9511]

Awesome video Tucker, this will definitely come in handy reinforcing the basics and even more advanced maneuvers at Aviator. Thanks for all you continue to do for this sport ❤️👊🏻

Excellent work, brother! This is great for experienced guys to watch, just as well as newbies. 👍😎👍

Those shorts got me thinking you need a Risqué Biscuits shirt. :D

[@Wheeliedevil]

You got med started flying in 2018. Thank you, Tucker. It's amazing.

[@prairieskycam]

Loved this video. Breaking down the basics of paramotor flight is great. Not sure if you’ve done a video breaking down the basics of the equipment, how it all works, and best practices for storing it between flights. I know you have a lot of videos on your channel and I’ve been a subscriber for awhile so I’m sorry if I missed that one. Thank you.

[@angelcardona4027]

Great video! Love watching you fly your Paramotor.

[@skycowboyak4549]

This will become the classic introduction video for powered paragliding training. Extremely articulate and well done!

[@janrehacek4131]

Thanks Tucker for the video, very informative, can't wait to get into this sport ... Sorry for Jeff, but at least he went doing something he loved!!... Glad to see you back up in the air and on the Tube... Keep your head in the clouds, a shout out from SoCal...

[@stevenbryce6269]

Thanks Tucker! I’ve had my equipment for awhile but haven’t had the courage to follow up on using it! With this fantastic course that you’ve provided here…. I’m gonna “send it” for the first time this weekend!!! Thanks!!

[@Qromer]

Great video. Love the well thought out details. Thanks for sharing.

[@BuschMarco]

Hey Tucker, I am glad to see you back! Although I am not yet on the sport, you haven been a huge motivator to me (I love everything that flies). I am so sorry for the loss of your good friend Jeff. All the love to Jeff's family, friends and to you! I wish to all of you all the best energies from the universe🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@jakecompton0406]

Awesome thank you for this! This definitely helped out a lot. I'm currently doing training in Doha Qatar right now with skymaster. I was having a hard time trying to smooth out my turns and landings and this video explanation helped a lot! Thanks Tucker!

[@walachaviation9171]

Thanks for another great one Tucker! I made my first paramotor flight last week! My Parajet has been ordered! Your videos have inspired me and I am very thankful for them all! I agree, get good training, the risks are too high and this sport is too unforgiving of mistakes! Have fun, fly safe!

Lots of information to remember even after watching you for years. I missed something because I don't know about Jeff. You demonstrating all the moves was very interesting. Great video by the hottest legs in flight. Pax.

[@jackriley5974]

My paramotor story; A pilot friend, short of stature, but big on ego decided to show off his flying skills on a windy day. I heard him take off, but less than a minute latter his motor shut down, and I knew something was wrong. I drove to where he was playing and found him hanging upside down in the power lines with gas dripping off his helmet. Every gust of wind would cause his lines to slide on the power lines and sound exactly like an electrical discharge. I suspect his butt puckered every time as well!! This was 35 miles away from the power company? Being familiar with the grid I asked another friend to raise me up to the up-stream fuses in his backhoe bucket which I pulled with a pruning tool. The first phase made no noise and I realized he had blown that fuse. However the second was still hot and sounded like a gunshot. Got back and consoled my pilot friend with the news, and 30 minutes the power company showed up!

[@darylcampbell9897]

This is very helpful thanks. I have my first tandem flight in Lake Wells on the 17th. After that I will know for sure if I want to continue on with the training. But I am enjoying my book and your videos.

[@grahamdillinger7338]

Great video. Lots of good info and very direct and to the point. Thank you for putting this out there! I feel better about getting my first rig. I'm a private pilot of a fixed wing. The paramotor just seems like so much fun. The closest thing to being a bird as you can get

[@Monyornothin]

I still want to learn! Someday I will reach my goal and go to Aviator! Thanks for the great videos and inspiration. ✌️❤️

[@Loganrodgers22]

We don’t have a parameter yet… But can’t wait to get our first!! Thanks for the video. I been following your channel for about a year or so👍🏻🤙🏻

[@callline7183]

Great overview. Even though I'm not planning to Paramoter I found it interesting. Thanks.

[@bryanworkman3902]

This is great! Always good for all of us to revisit the fundamentals and make sure we're flying safe. I like to go over my training notes from flight school every month or so. And despite how controversial training videos can be, I think the logic proof is that people will either get training or not despite videos being available. So at the very least providing information to those that decide not to is better than them flying without the info. Therefore, stuff like this is valid and adding value to the sport. ...but also go get training everyone haha

[@calliem872]

Awesome video, Tucker! Thank you!

[@terryrose6208]

Thanks, Tucker this video took away Some of my questions, but digged up some more. But I have to review it several times. If you have time you would be appreciated to do the same video with your trike. And could you also talk about the choice of horse powers or thrust (ex. 90kg at 6500rpm) in relation to MTOW and wingsurface (28-34sqm). Waiting for the next video. 😎
