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

[JakeHemmerle]

Always a pleasure kicking it with you, and thank you for giving me my first taste of powered flight :)

[JudsonGraham]

10/10 this dude is a legendary instructor. Changed my life :)

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!!

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.

[craigbeavers]

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!

[patj]

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 .

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 😎👍

[johnskees]

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😂

[OvoidMarble-bxbm]

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!"

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!

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

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!!

[baka]

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

[flyingdanwithasedan]

Dude I got to say! Super epic first flight! Man your videos are to me, some of the best YouTube videos to ever watch! You are the man!

[daverohn]

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

[dr.strangelove]

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.

[roberteshelman]

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!

[KeatShadows]

You are a great teacher, good for you.
