I hope you enjoyed my highly exaggerated real life examples. 😂 Currently, I'm editing a video review/impressions of the Moster 185 MY'20 as well as an instructional video on how I pack my wing. Those should be out next week. We have some good weather coming up as well so I'm stoked to go on some more flying adventures! - tuckergott.com/collections/all

Love the grin and the thumbs up as the wing smashes your feet! That was a riot! 😂🤣😂 In my younger days, I used to unload dirt bikes out of the truck down the ramp riding on the foot peg with one foot on, and one foot out in the breeze. Made it easier for me at 5'4" - I couldn't touch ground on ANY dirt bike. Still can't! LOL! Was easier being off to one side so I could jump off as the momentum slowed. I'll have to practice that kickstand trick. It's just a modified version of my unloading trick. Sweet! 👍🍻

Hey Tucker! Any chance you could give me some really good tips on a beginner paramotor? I just recently got into the sport from skydiving.

It is also the leading cause of bugnutz!

It is because of you I have a renewed relationship with my father. We share nothing in common, but he (like myself) is super excited about trying paramotoring out. We are both disabled veterans, and so for us to share something in common is very hard (aside from cool movies). He is so into this sport, that he bought me the paramotoring bible, and he wants to spend the 7+ days at the PPG aviators school with me! I already love this sport, but the fact that it can bring me and my father closer together is just icing on the cake. Ty you for your content.

The feeling of leaning back on take off was my "Aha" moment during training

You should talk about trim speed and it's effect on the landing. Talk about motor-on landings for better spot landings. Swoop landings and targeting your approach. Reverse v forward launch and what conditions are right for each. More explanation around each tip, would be greatly appreciated.

Got 12 flights under my belt. Great stuff. Keep the tips coming

I can relate to many of those points, so yeah - Part 2 would be cool. Thanks T!

ordered my blueprint shirt yesterday with a decal for my toolbox Im an A and P mechanic at CMH, ive been watching for a few months now seriously weighing my options on pursuing paramotoring.. keep it up man love the content!

More of these! And I'd love it if you went into a little more detail. I understand keeping it simple and not trying to teach acro on youtube, but I would have enjoyed a little more info on energy management, working towards swoop landings, etc.

Love these tips videos. Let’s see another 5! 👍😀

As a retired police officer, who also graduated bicycle patrol school, the "flip the kicking stand down while moving" maneuver is standard protocol. The more you know! 😁

Dude this episode is so valuable, thankyou so much for sharing! Definitely would like to see a part 2 😃

Appreciate all the experience and content ur posting 🙏 plz do a part 2 , 3 , may be 50! cuz we all learn something everyday, I started paragliding at 2016, and I have beIN watching ur channel and seing u grown... God bless u 😇🙏 keep up the good work

Part 2 please! I'm flying a trike and am having some trouble with spot landing I'm always coming in high but practice in a large field or grass runway makes a huge difference because I can just focus on the landing and not worry about hitting the fence or climb out into trees etc... part 2 would be great, Thanks for putting this one together!

Bleeding off the energy from a big spiral turn makes sooo much sense now that I'm actually flying. really looking forward o trying that out.

Proper/best take-off technique especially helpful, thanks!

I definitely have to work on a couple of these,thanks dewd!!

Thank you for this. I'm having a heck of a time launching. I have a classic face-plant video of me adding power at exactly the WRONG moment, and face=planting me into the ground. I am making all the classic rookie mistakes,

Great subject Tucker. Thanks for both the educational and entertaining videos. I do have to agree with an earlier comment that the lean back during launch is the Ah ha thing for an easier launch. Thanks again

Should 100% do another! Love this stuff.

A guy that can show you the goofy mistake and then the correct way. I'd love love to be young again and be able to fly on of these.

Hi tucker, i am from india and in love with paramotor just coz of your videos thanks a lot buddy nd loads of luck for keep making wonderful videos

Great advice! I take my first flight next month!! I started watching you 2 years ago. I also started paramotor instruction in February. I past my kiting test yesterday. They are towing me up tomorrow! Can’t freakin wait!! Thanks for all your inspiration! If you’re ever in Kansas...

Golden video! Great Info for newbies and a refresher for more experienced pilots! Great great video!

Definitely part 2 plz keep them coming!!!

Last weekend I started my paraglider class. So my first step into paramotor is made :D It’s very interesting how a paramotor starts in contrast to gliders. My instructor said, for takeoff, I ve to lean forward and give pressure on the hip belts. Learned something new today Wishes from south Germany somewhere in the alps

I don't chime in often but kudos to you Mr Tucker ..this was a well placed video with very true and good points even though I've improved immensely in 80 + hours I still have a lot of dialing in to do in all 5 area's..Thanks

Your vid is 14 min old and literally got 10 Xs the hits of my best vid ever from 3 yrs ago 🤣 you make me feel unpopular 😛. Great vid !

To add on to the energy management peice, learning throttle control, and when to let out of the throttle to assist in preventing ballooning/surges is also quite important for both aggressive flying and active piloting in turbulence.

Good tips Tucker. My throttle cable on the Maverick went in the prop last night. No injuries but I am going to mod my Maverick and add an additional kill switch. The motor was jammed on half throttle and the kill switch didn't work. The cable got wrapped around the exhaust and melted through after a short time which caused the kill switch circuit to ground through the exhaust!! Sandy

Its a good idea to have 2 kills switches, in case something goes wrong with the first one, you have a back up.

Excellent video. I used to do that kickstand trick with my bicycle.

I'd like this video thousands of times!

Another vote for Part 2. Really liked those tips especially tip 1.

I've watched SO many of your uploads and appreciate them all. I find it neat as a Pro/Am Disc Golfer that many of the same Rules of Flight apply to my sport as well. Saving up some funds to get into the the paramotor sport soon. Thanks for the content, Tucker!

Nice video... We give ourselves extra points for bringing the wing over to the side into a ball on landing

Hi there I would definitely like to see more of the series please. I also would love to see a video about the things you think a new pilot should work on immediately after going through a class like Aviator (which I just did)

Yeah the guy with the bike and kickstand was dead cool! Great tips Tucker!

Great learning video's thanks mate from Down Under Australia hopefully in 6 months I'll have enough money to train and get started

Very good tips Tucker, all new guys should watch this a couple of times. Cheers.

Thanks again for sharing what you have learned! Experience is the best teacher and you are helping others to become better pilots!

I never see the paramotor in life but I watch your every video

Thank you today was my first flight and and your comment was useful for landing

Great idea for a video!!! I'm saving this one for later. Love these videos!

Super helpful video Tuck! Down for part 2

The first tucker video I have not watch in the first 4 hours

Fantastic video Tucker. Hey new guys, watch this and learn. Imma try that starfish on my next sky excursion.🤣

Tucker, Thank you very much for the Tshirt!

Thank you Tucker, every pilot should have these skills in mind when flying!

Great helpful video, Part 2 would be good.Great job Tucker, Thanks

A part 2 or 3 would be cool

I like it when the wing is put down to the left or right wing tip first, it just folds right up👍

You do such a good job of explaining things. Calm Cool and Collected. Could you do a video on the hand controls and how they work. If you've already done this, I apologies.

Great video. Thank you for sharing. I also like the quality of your videos in addition to the content.

More tips, more tips! Thanks for the videos!

So good, please do part 2. I am a beginner and number 3 has been a point for me lately as I progress to bigger turns and starting wingovers, how to dissipate the energy because that surge is damn scary. Nice one dude, love the content.

Thanks for sharing, Tucker I hope I can remember those tips when I finally start Paramotoring. God Bless and stay safe.

You crushed it Bro! Thanks!

Time for a part 2? Love the video!

Great Tips, thanks for putting this together!

Nice timing, back to basics on Tuesday as the 2 month UK lockdown has been partially lifted enough for us to fly again 🙌

Awesome tips. Looking forward to more.

Great video! I'd like to see more. Keep up the good work!

Solid video! Was just watching some old Trent Palmer videos and saw you on there... would love to see the two of you do some flying together. Maybe stop by and fly with him the next time you do a Van Life tour?

Solid tips on flying techniques, a little bit of fanesd tricks, and some beginner tips. Thanks!

I am a new pilot. On Mothers Day weekend I was launching from a field on my mom's property and ended up face-planting. Raccoon eyes and everything. Fortunately I had my GoPro setup to record my launches and landings to see how I can improve. I was doing exactly what you described in Tip 1. I was leaning forward too far and it was taking a real long time to get to the point where I thought I was going to lift-off. This wasn't the whole reason I botched the take-off, but to your point, that lean angle is real tough to get used to. I thought I was leaning back enough, but the video tells a very different story.

Yes, more... and thanks!

+1 for #4 and a second video of tips. Thanks!

Great advice, thanks Tucker.

I enjoyed this very much. I need those cool points.

9/10 didnt show attempt to learn motorcycle dismount at the end.

@niconico3907

Train whithout wing first. With the motor on your back, add power and try to stay on one spot without moving your feet. When you get to max power, you will have to lean back to stay on the same place. Once you know the angle, try to make small steps. Once you are good with that walk faster. I have only flown paramotor once, but I saw it on bandarra's video of his paramotor training.

Gotta work on the spot landings for sure. Gonna go watch a video of me flying to check my posture. Take-off lean back could be better too. I did just get in a good habit of turning and kiting down the wing nice but I'm turning the wrong way really. Aw heck I suck. Well, got some good ways to improve "D

Great video, I have a BMW GSA1200 Adventure bike as well... I am going to work on that dismount with the kickstand stop. The paramotor techniques you mentioned are rock solid. Shows complete wing control that will be very helpful in an emergency or with a slight issue. Ive had brake toggle wrap, taken off with the stabilizer strap on my instinct disconnected, etc... Wing control is crucial when you have an abnormality..... Keep up the good work

@niconico3907

Its good to practice flying and landing without the brakes in case the brake line snaps or the knot gets undone. You use rear risers to control the wing.

Thanks Tucker and place do a part 2.

Most Definitely. Part 2

Thank you for this. Good info for us beginners. I hope you do some more advanced stuff too. Like those swoop landings you do. I'm not at the level to try it but I'd like to know the theory behind it. Just looks crazy how it drops from the sky so fast when banking but at the last moment it just flares smoothly to the ground. For a noob like me, it feels like if you miss judge even a little you get broken ankles.

@niconico3907

I dont think he will explains swoop landing, he probably doesnt want to be partly responsible for people hurting themselves while trying swoop landing. A failed swoop landing is much more dangerous than broken ankles.

Yes, more parts please 🙂

Definitely do a part 2

I would love to see how to perfectly complete your hook turns when coming into land. They always look so awesome, professional and something you don't see many others doing.

i have that blue print t-shirt. It's beautiful t-shirt and made from very good material

Gott my "Caution" shirt. I'd love to see more tips like these!

MORE, PLEASE!!!!

Boom. Shirt ordered.

Yes to Part 2

Thanks man, great tips!

Nice video Tucker, I enjoyed the "what not to do clips"... and cracked up at the cow suit sighting at 5:41

No Brainer, Tricks Part II forsure!

I would love a part 2

Ryan F9 the best motorcycle channel on youtube!

Tucker, good video. I would like more on managing energy in flight. But mostly I want you to show us how to make a butt landing look intentional and really professional!

Tucker, this is a great video!! Can you show us how to inspect the wing?

I would say definitely do a part 2 with more tips cause me personally already knew and already do all of what you said

great tips, please give us more.

Let's see a part 2! 🤘☕🤘☕🤘☕

Part 2 would be good

Good one Tucker!
