Hope everyone is doing well and staying healthy! To continue the trend of quarantine content, I put together my top 10 (+1) favorite launches. Drop a comment if you would like to see more top 10 style videos in the future. Hopefully, we will be back up in the air soon!

[@DanielArnett]

I love the gas pipeline launch. In central PA we have so many long ridges but nowhere to launch, I've always fantasized about doing a sled ride off of one sometime, and those pipelines are some of the only sites that look decent enough to launch from on a low wind day.

[@SKETCHGAMING69]

Just found your channel now! Awesome vids dude! Love it!

Great content Tucker. I remember 99% of these. Started following you when you were trying to get to 5000 subscribers and we're going to do something crazy like fly your underwear. 😉 Good memories during these crazy quarantine days! Thanks for helping keep it bearable. 😎

[@nealbowser8574]

Tucker, I’m an old ultralight pilot from the early days (30 years ago). Your videos bring back memories. Let me share with you some “tricks” that we learned to stay warm. We found that some of the cold weather bicycling attire worked well with cold weather flying. Some of the cycling pants that are available use a Mylar layer in the front to keep the wind from penetrating, and since the clothing is designed for athletics, running wasn’t compromised (-Layers of clothing made that a problem). -Same with some of the cycling jackets. Plenty of pockets to store stuff, and “weatherproof” material restricted the wind. -Of course long-finger cycling gloves allowed protection, but retained finger sensitivity. -Just something to check out and consider.

[@jimnew5813]

You probably know John Moody, I share a hangar with him with my J3 Cub and his Easy Riser.

[@flintrail548]

[@Ontharock]

I ride motorcycles . Under my clothes I wear “feeze out” thermal protection. Extremely light weight and completely blocks wind up to 50-60 mph. Go look at a motorcycle shop. And idk if they will be to thick but you could get battery operated heated gloves. The heating part is only on the back side of your hand not on the inside. You are making me think about getting in to this. Looks like a good time.

[@nickabel8279]

[@FilosophicalPharmer]

Spent 30+ years riding motorcycles. Diagnosed with MS 10 years ago, gave up riding a few years back. I miss the adventures SO BADLY. I miss the enthusiasts (like you and Tucker - all the "old" guys and all the "young" guys!). I miss seeing things in ways others haven't. I'm thankful for Tucker's videos. I'm thankful for Tucker's sense of adventure. I'm thankful for life and our ways to see and experience it. I wanna a paramotor. Sure wish my meds weren't over $150k per year.... "If wishes and buts were candy and nuts, we'd all have a Merry Christmas". Please don't stop, Tucker. I'll live through you until I have a "fan" to strap on my back. :)

I would like to know the following: 1. How long have you been flying? 2. Have you ever had a collapse to the ground and how many? 3. Has Paramotoring ever sent you to the ER and for what? 4. Why is it that Paramotor reserves don't use a drogue for rapid deployment like with base jumping?

Do you mind if this Dad of two young kids with no free time lives vicariously through your videos Haha? Love your channel Tucker always nice to chill and unwind with some relaxing Paramotor vids. Believe it or not I found your channel two years ago when I got my first Drone. Turns out KZbin thinks if you’re interested in drones you’d also like paramotors, their recommendations have been on point so far lol.

You ever going to do a race like Icarus again? I remember when I first saw those posted and I thought, "40+ minutes? I am not watching a video that long." 40 + minutes later I'm like, "It's over already?" Those were really cool videos.

[@dentonfender6492]

I'm old (68), and want to fly like a bird like you. One year ago a neurosurgeon put a rack of Titanium rods, and over 20 screws in my back so I can stand up straight. Watching you and others online is so tempting. I've seen you take some tumbles, but nothing major that hurt you. I'm going to keep on researching Parasailing---definitely not Paragliding---too risky, but I want to fly, and not interested in flying an airplane, so keep up the great videos---they are inspiring!

Tucker! We’re both members of the Jackpot NV paramotor club! I took off/landed on BLM designated land right at the south edge of the airstrip... I slept in my travel trailer in the school parking lot... my motor froze overnight... but thankfully I thought to cover the air box/carb... I’m way bigger than you... so every time I launch it’s like I have all of your gear. 🤣😂

[@Lucas-oc4cr]

I've been taking it easy on the paramotor content recently but seeing these was some serious channel nostalgia. I was here watching for almost all of these. This was an amazing look back

[@GarbleStokedolly]

I noticed you mentioned how difficult it was flying with thick gloves during the ski and ice skate flights, and that you needed the gloves initially so you wouldn't lose the feeling in your fingers. I'm not sure if you already know this but a lot of motorcyclist will wear latex/nitrile gloves underneath a lower profile riding glove so they can still have better motor functions in their fingers but also keep their hands warm despite not being made of bulky and heavy duty materials. The latex/nitrile gloves won't allow the wind to penetrate to your skin. I've heard it works wonders on a cold highway moving at 90+mph so I'd imagine the practice would carry into the skies as well!

[@jlucasound]

Great video Tucker! From the way you described your tandem ride with your mother it made it sound like you were taking a bigger chance than it looked when you first showed that video.

Yes! Do the landing video! That last launch was masterful, Tucker. I remember that. I followed the whole Icarus series and was stoked that you won. I kinda knew you would. I dont know really what Im talking about but you seem the be a cut above other pilots for the most part.

Thanks for the video/videos! I have dreamed of flying for a long time and ended up getting my PPL in 2015 then stopped flying because of expense. I am planning on getting a PPG because it is less expensive than renting or owning a plane. Also I want to be able to land and takeoff from remote locations. I love your videos because they give me the opportunity to enjoy the sport while working on finding a rig. You are a true honor to have in the sport. Thanks for living the dream and keeping it alive. Look forward to joining you in the sky. -E

[@philipkraft9946]

Never in my wildest imagination did I think I’d want to get into this sport. My wife (filipino) and I are moving to the Philippines. We’ll be living in a very remote part of a province. Roads are very few and far between. The paramotor will be a God send for meeting out transportation needs. Keep up with the “how to” videos.

[@calthorp]

Good luck with that, There are almost no places that you can launch from, Too many trees, houses no flat grass padocks just rice fields, Roads full of traffic, etc etc Watch out for snakes too when walking around long grass bloody dangerous.

[@brianstroh7053]

Loved it. Keep the top 10's coming.

[@germanymcg7491]

Tucker, thanks so much for a great video. You see, I live vicariously through your You Tube videos. I’d surely love to try my hand at Paramotors but sadly I’m out of luck. I’m in my mid 70’s and 100% disabled which really throws a wrench in things. Before my weird neurological condition left me unable to walk, I rode/raced dirt bikes, surfed from New Jersey to Florida to Baja and the South China Sea, and generally had a grand life. Paramotoring would have been a likely progression for me had life been more forgiving. At any rate, thank you again for giving me the enjoyment of watching you do something I can only muse about.

[@KentTexas]

You can ALWAYS try a trike

[@grejen711]

I watched your Icarus race series a couple years back just after you posted them and before I started flying paramotor myself. Your infectious joy after those launches is one of the reasons many people have started into this activity. Heck I just thought they were regular launches and you were just having that much fun. Looking at those launches now that I've done a couple dozen (30) myself gives me an entirely new perspective on them. Wow! On that last one the cross wind would have also made that lane way directly lee of those trees and that would have been horrid. btw - I feel for you not being able to fly under the lockdown. Luckily my situation is such that I can get out to the park and launch without risking infection or infecting. I'm also flying very cautiously. I still think the McDonald's launch deserves an honorable mention here just because it's so famous.

Wow,,, so strange to see a few of these spots. Your launch at the Superstition mnts,,, I've spent a lot of time there. That same spot!!! The launch in Evensville, I spent hours on that ramp when we races the unlimited hydroplanes on the Ohio, (Miss Bud team). Remember watching the others when you put them out. Proud of your mom. Reason I haven't pulled the trigger on getting in this sport, is I now have both hip replacements and both knees replaced, don't think I could run with one of those on my back.
