Tucker, I'm sorry for the loss of your friend Jeff. Although it is obviously very hard to do at this time, I'm glad to see you remaining positive and forging ahead. We, as your faithful friends and followers, appreciate your strength.

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!!!

[jesusestrada]

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.

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

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.

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.

Sorry about your loss. God speed Jeff!

[mikeycourington]

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.

[FreshTillDeath]

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 Youtube again :)

Sorry for the loss and you are always awesome and charging people with positive energy 👏 and explains about each situation why it happened and take out people fear.

[ANIMOUS]

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.

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

[skycowboyak]

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

[walachaviation]

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!

[Seadog]

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 ❤️👊🏻

[danoakley]

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

[mafiahalo]

as cool as paramotors are i have a feeling larger size/weight people wouldn't be able to do this because my weight is around 300LB-315LB. I only say this because i know i cant go sky diving indoor or outdoor since they seem to have a max limit of 250LB weight restriction

[ausguitarist]

I love this. I can't wait to start my 2 week course in country Victoria, Australia. Could you do a video on the reserve? have you ever had to use it?
many thanks!

[Wheeliedevil]

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

[marcobusch]

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🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
