It was an eventful day at Wings Over Winter! I did my first full stall/spins, Johnson threw his reserve, Mark and I had some rad shenanigans, and a fellow pilot unfortunately was medevaced. I have since heard that his surgery went well and he is in good spirits! Wishing him a speedy recovery!

Many thanks to Aviator PPG for sponsoring me in the Siv course along with hosting this event. The injured pilot is doing well and we wish him a speedy recovery! Stay tuned for more shenanigans at Lake Wales.
Tucker Gott what’s the minimum age to ride a paramotor
In the US, there is no minimum. I would generally wait until you're at least 16.
Love the videos, these have inspired me to be more adventurous and have more fun.
Tucker Gott do you need a license

Flying towards one another: "I'll go left, you go right." I sense an impending Darwin award.
On the right, in the right.
Both should have made the same maneuver: Both go right, or both go left, when you are heading directly at each other.
@@RichardAmmo1 That's what Tucker said, I got left you got left at 14:31
"Just because things have gone ok so far don't assume they will continue to go well." Words to live by.
14:20 Let's fly at each other...I will fly left, you fly right. Does anyone see a problem with this "coordination". lol
Rogerio Sa obviously the other guy caught it. He said “who’s left” or “which left” as in to say “uhhh that’s not gonna work”
Yea this isn't pearl harbor lol
@@joshuaallen231 I was just thinking about that scene
@@toshanjames9589 exactly lol
did this playing chicken and crashed a jet ski 😂
Saying as a two-time death survivor and 100+ breaks, shaters, and limbs being ripped off and duck taped back on, and riding 3 wheelers up to four-wheelers all the way down to 600cc and 929cc sportbikes an even more down to Onewheel XR. Those near-death moments when you save your own bacon and go back out after an own the day are the best. You have convinced me to get a two-seater quad powered paraglider. Always wanted to fly, took a few lessons but got too depressed from the cost to fly privately.
Thank you for showing me another way to my dreams.
Cant wait to take my family out on epic camping trips. Will store my Onewheel XR so I can get to town after stashing my PG in the woods.
"I think thats the international sign for DONT land."
"Yeah, either that or land immediately."
Fucking dying
Tucker: we're all alone up here what do you feel like doing?
Mark: you want to touch tips?
Tucker: I thought you'd never ask
MGS V Just the tip lol
Lol
If you did this on Saturday, I was in the airplane flying 1200 feet above all the paramotors. That was a fun event man.
CAN YOU THROW A PAPER AEROPLANE AT REALLY HIGH ALTITUDE THEN CHASE IT PLEASE?!

“No big deal”
“Oh wait, the bone was through his sock?”
“Not the worse thing that can happen”
*proceeds to suggest dangerous maneuvers*
“Let’s touch wings”
“Wooo!”
Andrew At least the ambulance and med-evac were already on the way.
flying head-on towards each other... "I'll fly left, you fly right"... smack!
FHRITP bruh.
Major contributing factor as to why it felt benign is the ice running through your veins Tucker. You're the Alex Honald of PPG. I think ive watched all of your videos and competitively speaking your presentation across the board is next level. Good work!
Hi Tucker! Not sure how UA-cam ended me up on your videos to be honest but i'm not complaining. I've never heard of paramoters before or anything like it honestly. It seems super cool and fun and i'd love to try it one day. Anyway, thank you so much for posting these videos, they are very entertaining and very cool as well. and hey who knows, maybe you just introduced a new person into the sport. Keep up the good work :) - Mike
I think your skill level and resulting comfort level with the equipment you fly gives you a significant advantage when doing stalls and spins. Nonetheless your persistent training and striving to become a better pilot will contribute to many fun and safe flights. Thanks for your great videos.
Tucker: Let's fly at each other
Johnson: We definitely need some coordination
Tucker: Alright, I'll fly left, you'll fly right
Me: Noooooooooooo!
"New Mission... Don't go in the sky blender!"
Man really practice stalls because whatever goes wrong, stalls most often help you to not throw your reserve and end your flight comfortable. Living in the alps this is a really important skill because you easily get huge collapses here but also for you flying Acro and Freeride wings, you really have to master fullstalls. Also whenever your wing surges forward, always STOP the surge with brake input. Luckily a Mojo ist stable enough to not get a Huge collapse and Cravatte, Twist and whatever might happen because of the collapse but trust me the free ride or general more agile and higher classified wings, they are on a whole other level.
Hope you read this and take it in consideration because I really like you to stay safe man!
Happy landings!
so are u saying the mojo is a safer wing , I will be new to the sport .
Yes mojo power is a good beginner wing
"It didn't feel that bad" I looked at that wing just crumpling in on itself and went NOPE. It's like how falling from a great height doesn't hurt, it's knowing the ground is coming that makes it scary.
My instructor told me once, if you’re going to break a bone, better be an ankle rather than your spine. Always put your feet first. Lucky pilot, could be worst.
If you land feet first going relatively fast your particulate snapping all your bones
That is not an English sentence.
Came in too hot on a skydiving accuracy jump with one leg out in front. Foot, ankle and leg not injured. Crushed my 4th lumbar vertebrae. Force went up the leg until it got to the weakest point. My spine. Got lucky and was not paralyzed. Ended my skydiving career however.
Michael Moran ouch! So unlucky bro!
Safety first! Everyone who does this should get wasted first just in case. Everyone knows drunks just roll with the fall, no damage. Science
10:00 It's like they're playing a multiplayer game irl. lol
Accidents happen in any kind of movement activity. Some people fall & break their bones while walking out the front door, usually older people with brittle bones. Sometimes people get struck by falling tree branches. My little sister was killed while she was making a snow angel in our front yard when a car ascending the steep road in front of our house lost traction & slid back down, hopped the curb & hit her head so hard she ended up dying on life support. Its hard for me to write that but its true! Sometimes bad things happen to good people. Its organized Chaos out there! Just try to stay positive, young at heart & have fun while living fully! Cheers & safe flying brothers. Blessings to you, your family, friends & to all your adventures!
Man, I'd love to get into this hobby, but scared of this exact thing happening. Having the wing fold up like a lawn chair would make my other hole pucker up for sure .
"I think we should bump tips....." 🤣Classic!
Tucker - The severe stalls and spins in skydiving can be emergency cut away in skydiving at high altitude; a stall is only done just before landing about a foot or two; whereas, a violent spin caused by a "Maywest" (line over canopy) will drop you out of the sky very quickly. The question I have: When you experience a severe stall will the canopy collapse? Also, what are your chances of having a line over the canopy in a severe spin or stall when your trying to recover?
You're awesome
“I think that’s the universal sign for no landing”😂😂
Might not be a bad idea to go out to Sporty's Pilot Shop and pick up a hand held VHF comm transceiver, so you have comms with other air traffic
Shook me up just hearing about the injured pilot. Thank God he's recovering.
Your living my dream life

Certainly not the worst thing that can happen, but I can tell you this: a broken ankle is no joke. I broke mine 15 months ago, and I still have problems with it. I'm just blessed to be able to walk still.
Great video! Your guy’s banter was really entertaining, I’d love to see more videos where you can talk to other people that are flying
This is cheaper than a new motorcycle and looks more fun. I already have the bike; I just need a trailer and hit the trail. Well; fly over it maybe.
I know this is old but like I cannot with Mark's commentary. "I love burning my eyes" "Look at the baby cows" like. Yes.
It wouldnt be a paramotor fly-in without an ambulance visit! Hope he recovers.
Tucker,You're living the dream, Good for you ☺. Happy landings.
Michael Whinnery literally living mine and my fiances dream. I wanna live in a van and travle he wants to paramotor all over!! :-D so lucky!!! Thanks for letting us live vicariously through you!
You're a cool guy Tucker. Good to see you haven't risen to the turkeys who wanted to see you have the kind of trouble that needs a reserve.
You present information without ego or wank (jerk(off)) factor, I appreciate it.
After watching Mark’s video already, the entire last half of the video was all deja vu. Great seeing the same experience from both perspectives.
It's good to see that you actually have to work to stall one of these wings, even the smaller expert ones. Safer than walking, actually! :)
Your very well spoken. You make a story interesting. Your attitude and positivity is infectious and a good change from the grumps you usually see. Very respectful. Got my sub bro. Awesome channel. Highly recommend you all sub and like. Well worth the time to watch his videos. Time well invested. The more you watch the more your interest in the sport grows. Thanks tucker for genuine UA-cam content. Awesome.
14:36 "I think we should bump tips" just sounds so wrong 😂😂
Correction: sounds so right
Iam glad the guy with the broken ankle is Okay ,Thx for the update at the end .
Sah Duder! Please Be Safe. We need your entertainment for years into the future!
Did you ever find out why the guy crashed??? I like to learn from other people’s mistakes so they didn’t crash for no reason!! Bad wind?? Oscillating?? Lost control?? Something else??
"I love burning my eyes..."
Only with nitromethane my sinus really enjoy it.
You make it look so easy Tucker. Many may watch your videos and be careless thinking its a piece of cake
You should be an instructor. I think you have a natural talent and common sense. You should be a Para motor instructor
As long as you do not do crazy stuff, and stay well within margins for error or problems. Accidents are slim to none, the most common problem that most people will encounter is engine stall or anything problematic related to the paramotor. One accident is one to many and if you are unfortunate it could be game over. Stay safe friends.
I wonder if he's ever just taking a nap up in the sky for like 10 minutes before
Bryant Cox I heard of some lady, maybe even from tucker I don’t remember, but she got caught between two storms and got lifted super high and got trapped up high, lander 3 hours later, survived with what I understood was no gear to protect against high altitude temps. I can imagine she might have closed her eyes for a few minutes during that ordeal. Don’t think anyone would want to push it to 10 minutes though. Good way to wake up with a broken spine.
Gregory Kitchens ua-cam.com/video/IXLdsnB5VBw/v-deo.html
I think what is required here is some proper landing site control. Having ground signals would quickly communicate the requirement to land , rather than some mixed hand signals. I have many skydives and a simple ground signal was a very visible X. The X indicates that all is good. This can quickly be changed to an L, indicating the requirement to land. Just a thought.
Ouch! I've broken the same ankle twice and it's no fun. Never had to call an ambulance or helicopter for it before, drove myself to the ER last time. I've never had a compound fracture, but that likely explains the medevac. About the only fun I can think of from my two breaks is explaining to airport security that I've got a half pound of stainless steel in my ankle.
Due to the influence of PPGFlyr, & Tucker , I will be training in Texas this year on the GreenEagle.
Craig McFall I sure hope to do the green eagle thing this year also. I’d love to foot launch but at 55 years old and 6’4” and 275lbs I don’t think my landing gear would take it!
Good luck with your training.
So you booked your time LAST year?
I talked to him in December. I haven’t booked a time yet. Is there a long waiting list now? He told me at the current time it was 8 weeks to get my eagle from the time I put the money down.
"I'll fly left you fly right" lmfao!
2 questions:
(1) Do you feel that your GA experience with stalls helps you in paramotors?
(2) What is the minimum *effective* altitude for using a reserve chute?
People have tossed the laundry as low as 50ft but alot comes into play,how you throw,wind direction,reserve itself...too name a few,I would throw no lower than 300ft if it was me,you drop fast when incidents occur.A full stall will reset the wing many times if your in a bad situation but its very risky if you don't know what your doing..if you full stall you need to slowly bring your hands up too fly back position and dampen the surge when it recovers with brakes again.Remember,even after a reserve opens it takes a few moments for it to actually slow you down.
(2) 150ft (50m) is about the minimum height at wich a reserve should still help you a lot but this depends heavily on reaction, type of reserve and in what situation you are caught (cravat, autorotation, etc). I'd recommend to throw with at least at 300ft or more. Also it is quite difficult so judge your height without instruments or reference points you know the height of so if in doubt *always throw it* and also if you think you are to low throw it because it will for sure not hurt you more because you have to be in a really fu*ked up situation needing your reserve at that height.
Altitude loss happens very quickly so if you are at 1000ft and go to deploy your reserve at 50-80 MPH decent by the time you kill engine,look,grab,pull,then toss into clean air you will be very close to the ground so yes,higher is always better,thats why we like to fly high and practice our maneuvers up above 2000ft when we are first learning,gives you a little more time and time is a good thing.Panic close to ground is very bad thing,don't panic until you hit the ground,always try too fly what you have and deploy if you think you need too.
They say you want to throw your reserve by 250 feet. I have personally thrown one at 70 feet over water. I think the wing and chute were downplaning and given more altitude that might have been sorted out. Still, if you need it, throw it. Even at 50' it might do something.
As long as the chute is inflated by 50' you might be ok but if you throw it at 50'I would say your gonna hit hard,not enough time for it to inflate.
"I'll fly left and you fly right" but wait........ 💥
Cool that you're punking about with other flyers including Mark. On my first flight day many years ago, the UK Legendary Mark Dann span his paraglider into the hill above us in Wales. Land and Heli-med were deployed, but the bus took him for x-ray on his injured back in the days before MRI & CT scanning.
He got away with that incident and went on to set the UK distance record for paragliding, from a hill near here more popular with fixed wing unpowered flights.
Cool that the guy who bust his ankle made a reasonable recovery after surgery.
OK Tucker Gott, why are there no parafoils with semi-rigid ribbing along leading and trailing edge to prevent this stall impotence?
The beauty of a paraglider is the portability of it. When you pack one into its bag its no bigger than a sleeping bag. If you added structural members the portability of it will be compromised, thus removing the beauty of the aircraft. If you make good choices its a non issue to begin with. I've flown some pretty rough days on a paraglider and never had any issues. All down to good choices.
Yeah I think the rule of thumb is if there's a vehicle with flashing lights on the field LAND! Doesn't matter what kind of vehicle. The other things is.... Flairs work down wind too. Especially when you take a couple of wraps.
The rule of thumb in airshows is to hold at 1000 ft, so the meaning isn't universal. Flairs certainly help downwind, but there's only so much they are capable of. 😂
Acro close to the ground will eventually bite you hard.Remember the air is invisible and its very hard to see exactly whats going on at all times.Altitude is our friend!
You don't DO acro do you?
Flyboy BC no not yet I'm only on my 8th flight but have been studying PPG for years..I do some deep turns and mild spirals but I need alot more air time before I do more..why do u disagree with me?
Enjoying The Sun 577-Jersey Customs there’s this old aviation quote - speed is life, altitude is life insurance
Enjoying The Sun 577-Jersey Customs. Sort of, With 8 flights and zero training then yes acro "close to the ground" will eventually bite you hard but Tucker is experienced and trained and very very cautious. When HE does acro it is NEVER "close to the ground" at least by HIS standards. What may be WAY too close to the ground for YOU might be EASY and farther from the ground than necessary for Tucker Gott. Gett me?
Flyboy BC yup sure thing bro.
Ok, so did you get to know what the flapping hands mean?
Mark and Tucker together is a great vid
LASER TAG! You know what would be awesome is if you guys could play like laser tag or something up there. It would be like having a dog fight!
Very nice, good to see all these techniques.
Tucker, if you go left and your friend goes right and you are heading in opposite directions, you will crash! Glad you got it figured out.
Caryn Schwengel left and right equal the same direction which would result in a crash.
Phil C That is basically what I said. If Tucker comes from the north and decides to go to his left, and his friend comes from the south and decides to go to his own right, they would crash. North and south are opposite directions, sooo.
ummm, no... then they'd move away from each other. If they were moving toward each other they'd have to both go left or right to crash.
Christopher Giblin Read my above comment. If they are going towards each other and Tucker goes to HIS right, and his friend goes to HIS left, they would crash. Draw a picture to visualize it.
Caryn Schwengel, Like you I'm glad they got it figured out. When I heard him say I'll go left and you go right the first thing I thought was no, no, no, this isn't going to end well.
I just drove by crooked lake yesterday! Anout 40 minutes up the road from lake placid. I'm just a video watcher, but I'd guess the water adds another layer of safety- I mean even a collapsed chute would slow you enough to be okay as long as the water was at least 12ft or so?
Awesome stuff that I don't dare do. I enjoy living vicariously through you.
We are all glad you're ok
“Let’s fly towards each other, you go left I’ll go right” 🤦🏼♂️
"Don't assume it's going to KEEP going well". Truer words were never spoken. When pilots learn to fly there is a BIG increase in incidents statistically when they think they have "learned it all", when they've actually learned not much of anything.
ANY compound break is a BIG DEAL. Likely not life threatening, most times, unless you hit big a vein or artery, but still a big deal. I'm heading more and more to that "trike" the more I watch your vids, but I think I will do my own (it's PROBABLY OK, I'm an engineer ;-) ) on one of these rigs, those monster trikes, especially the two seaters, look like a PITA to lug around.
I agree with you John. Great pilot for sure, but its just a matter of time before Tucker bites it.. You can't keep pushing your luck without it running out one day!
Good flying Tucker and Mark. There are risks attached to every activity whether thats paramotoring or just walking. A risk free life would be incredibly dull I would say!
Rather break my ankle flying than slipping in the shower. Much better story. LOL.
absolutely

I was at Endless Foot Drag 17 when Richard Biggerstaff spirialed in and died. It was a tragic event.
The hard part for me is I was kiting my wing and was packing up and I was watching what turned out to be him in the spiral that killed him. But I could'nt tell because they were a good half mile from me and it was getting late so when they went below the tree line I didn't worry about it until as I was crossing the roadway back to the RV I was watching a pair of blue lights coming down the road into the EFD and the deputy stopped and asked me where the accident was?
I didn't know but pointed out where Brittons tent was and from there it went crazy! I had Brittons or someones wife call him as he and Kyle O and a few others were on an XC to RTB ASAP and then things went even crazier with all the cops and things.
I hope to never have to deal with that kind of emergency again as it does take it out of you. I've been at enough of them in my life time!
I'm adding an article by Jeff Goin. I was parked next to him and he is a wealth of information! This is about spins and why we should know what happens in one and why we should be prepared! I've even watched the USAFs video on preventing spin and high G blackout for when I finally start!

Paramotor ride has always been a dream....
Underneath Tucker’s hat is his reserve parachute and his hair is actually functions as a glider ....lol
You should attach a burger or something to a colourful parachute and drop it near someone as you fly past them! 🍔
“Another ambulance” 🤔🙁. Then lots of shots of low flying 🤔. Coincidence. Compound ankle fracture is potentially a crippling lifetime injury. Trauma nursing kind of messes things up for me 😏
Tucker has a striking similarity to Bob Marley.
You have balls of steel to go so high in the air and not get scared at all.
New Mission, don't go in the sky blender... Never heard that one for a whirly bird before :)
"there are old pilots, and there are bold pilots, but there are few pilots who are both old and bold." Precticing stalls and spins is a good idea, practicing mid-airs, perhaps not so much... So far as "clickbait titles", I really don't read them, the comments below are a better indication, i.e. "I did my first full stall/spins, Johnson threw his reserve..."
As for flying over 60 miles of open ocean, I'd think that at least one of those flotation devices with shark repellent and an EPIRB might be a good idea. Lindbrgh managed 3000 miles without them, but...
Full power on and power off stalls in an airplane went from "holy shit" to "Oh Yeah!" after a few dozen of them. But the best training I ever paid for was in a C150 aerobatic doing spin recovery. Alas, flying airplanes moved out of my budget a few years ago. Retirement is a few years away, then I will buy some crusty old C150 or C172 and fly with pilot friends as much as I can. Funny how a fella can nearly pee himself on a six foot ladder, but feel absolutely comfortable in the most derelict airplane you can rent/buy. But that's me. Keep the ladder, give me a crusty old Cessna.
I’m watching you guys fly and thinking, it would be cool to have a para-motor demonstration team! Not quite as exciting as the Blue Angels, but it would be cool to see some coordinating flying.
New subscriber here. I must say that your videos are great. Content is great. Videos is shot great, with great equipment. And you make it easy to listen to the amazing videos. Keep up the great work. And FYI, you have got me into checking this out more in detail. I drive to some amazing places, and the views you can get up there are breathtaking.
I'm always a little shocked to see you PPG guys flying in almost your slippers! Learning to paraglide, I was very early told that ankle support is a big deal, and ever since I have worn hanwag PG boots (believe Woody wears them too - sensible guy!) You guys should really consider better ankle support - maybe could have turned that guy's accident into a sprained ankle rather than the serious injury he ended up with. Love the videos Tucker and mixing in with Mark too - very entertaining! Take care and be safe!
I want to buy one of these and do this so bad ! Too bad I’m afraid of heights ! Damn 😡
I am as well, but the control you have makes it feel so much different, and for me I'm able to do fine. If I'm leaning over an edge looking down I'm way more terrified than when I'm in the air
Dude so glad that’s all he broke well he can still go he just needs to track now LOL what is something you love you just deal with it!!!
Probably a huge difference between training while expecting it to happen and something happening at random. When adrenaline catches you off guard its one of those things that makes it hard to think, that's one of the reasons self defense courses focus so much on muscle memory and operating on auto pilot, because its difficult to impossible to think clearly if you panic.
looks like fun. Who's the oldest flyer you've met?
Hi Tucker, I’m curious as to what you use for communication and how it’s set up? I fly PG and use a 2 meter radio that’s mounted on my flight deck...i don’t really ever let go of my brakes for long to talk since I fly in the mountains in turbulent air and collapses happen so it’s good to be prepared. It doesn’t look like you let go of your brakes to key a mike...any videos on your set up?
I would like to know when and where paramotor people get together so that I can watch. I don't think I would ever try it but, I'm very interested in it.
Thank you for your videos Tucker
People don't talk about ankle support enough. I broke my ankle/leg on my 10th flight during training. Wasn't even a bad landing just took a knee and with the way the motor came down on my leg snapped it. Took about 5 months before I felt good enough to run around with a motor on my back and landing on it again.
Ouch man. I've had a few rough landings myself. I did a few downwinders on a paraglider and could feel the shock in my ankles. My second motor flight was a downwinder due to a fast approaching bush lol. Flared early too. Dropped me like rock. Was a bit bruised but luckily not broken. The difference in the different sports is very apparent.
I'm soo jealous. Wish I had the funds for this. Great vids
when it happens thank me later 3:24
super gamer I’d rather watch the whole video🙄
thanks
Thanks later
I was looking in the comments for the exact timing thanks!!
11:44 that hurt me
This guy is immune to fall damage.
That's some fantastic insight. Thanks for bringing it to light for those of us who haven't had the chance to participate in the SIV courses.
Yes, your stunts have a lot of variability because your aircraft is a sheet of cloth blowing in the wind.
Paramotor docking... LOL "Let's touch wings!"
Had fun fun flying! Hope to again sometime soon :)
I don’t have time to watch this one tonight but I’ll leave a comment anyways LOL. Hopefully I can check it out soon. Had a great time watching a bunch of your videos tonight dude.
Always nice when you can gently touch tips with friends..... ;-)
