I've been wanting to modify the steering on this glider for a while now and today was finally the day! Along with changing the lengths of each line, I removed the bungee and fixed the pulley directly to the riser. Although 2D steering comes standard on the Ozone Freeride, wings like the Spyder can be easily modified to have 2D.

Keep up the videos dude
1Million subs is just around the corner!!!
*Good luck*
This is such a cool and unique channel. Keep up the good work
Inspirational stuffs as usual Tucker. 👍
Don't know if you know or not, but double tapping the other paramotor on the osmo screen puts it into tracking mode. Smoooooth.
Love the opening reveal! Very clever!
The line you took on your landing was definitely a pro move! Well done!
Good stuff! Enjoyed learning a bit more about the brakes and risers and all that fun stuph! ;-) Oh, and I could watch the vids of you skimming along barely above the field forever... that is magic carpet ride material!!
Love that yellow bug! Had one in 1972 or3 brand new off the show room floor as I was deployed to fort Benning Ga. Best car I ever owned. It was yellow too.😁
Looking forward to your QUAD ROLLER SKATE launch. That will be epic.
Nice flying.
Nice job T. I plan to adjust my brake lines and tie in 2d on my spider3 once I'm back flying again.
Did you see that paraglider twirl down to the ground today? Maybe you should do a video on how and why accidents happen and maybe throw in some miraculous survival instances. Keep up the great videos. Some day I’ll learn to fly.
Hey TG McBiscuits! I finally finished my paramotor training and got my PPG2 rating! I have a brand new wing that I've flown on a few times and now just saving for a motor setup. Love your vids!
Love Watching your videos Tucker wish i could afford to learn to do motored paragliding myself but watching your videos is really satisfying man
I always wondered about the freeride bungie system (as compared to my hadronxx). Thanks for the explanation. ✌
Tom, I changed my Freeride straight away. Eric at AviatorPPG suggested it straight off the bat. I can relate to the direct on rails feel.
@@GolfFoxtrot22 right on man, I still need to fly the freeride. I will the next chance I get. Have you flown the Sky Z-Blade? Thinking about picking one up...
@@Tommyflies I only have the budget for 3 wings in my life haha.
Absolutely gorgeous video. Thanks.
What's up Mr. R Biscuits! Another 5 star video! Great tip on adding 2D steering!
8:32 thought he was gonna land on da roof!😅nice flying tucker olmost at 1 million
great transition at the begining man
Last flight with my Roadster 2 (Sunday) was my first flight with 2-D steering set up. It definitely adds a nice touch.
Great infformative video. ! Thank you very much !!!!!!
I have been watching you for quite a while... And truly enjoy what you do,,, wishing I could do it too.
But today is the first time I got motion sickness watching …
Years ago,,, I got it from playing Monster Truck Madness...
No seizures,,, just a heavy headache...
Oh well,,, thanks and keep living the dream....
There sure is a lot of white sand on the ground, but those are unusually shaped beaches!
I got motion sickness just watching the video😂 Nice video
Unbelievable mate, you sure know your stuff, it must be absolutely amazing to be able to fly like a bird ... I sure wish I could do it!! Looking forward to your next vlog 👍😁
hope you and Jaclyn are keeping well. Thanks for the smoke system, ill install it soon and tie TST to toggles on R3 this week as weather looks like soggy biscuits burnt gravy and raw oystah's
You rock ! tucker buddy !
Love the Osmo Pocket footage! One of these days, can you hand that off to Jeff to getting video of you doing some "aero"?
What would be really cool Tucker is if you wouldn't speed it up or at least put a link to the regular footage! Some of us would like to see it as you do it!
Great info! It's just hard to understand totally without seeing it. Just comes from being more visual than verbal!
Thanks again Tucker
That edge screen cracks mad easy I wish thee luck
Troy and Trever's latest vid was so amazing
Looks like a good mod for an advanced pilot.
Love the new intro, good stuff, good video!
Remember most great things happen when what others would call stupid ideas. The Wright Brothers are a perfect example and here we are. Keep thinking outside the box man.
You should make sure the trailing edge is not braked when flying hands up and full speed bar. If it is, your brake lines are too short, and it will make your wind unstable.
I never thought about the bungee making the steering mushier. I like the mod and love the riding-on-rails feeling. Thanks for the tip and vid showing how you did it. I noticed you were referring to diagrams on your phone. Was that from Ozone or some other source?
That was the google image results for "how to tie a brake line." I'm not very good with knots. ;)
On the Charger you need to add another line, so I never modified it. I like the factory 2D set ups better. The Colorado is perfect. Our buddy Max Martini doesn't even use the line route pulleys!!!!!
I have me a brandy new charger! I love it
Great..
All I need now is a wing...
And a motor..
Go fund me...then post it on here!
digging the new intro.
Hey Tucker! Just curious, but how long after your initial training, did you wait to learn acro? Did you self-learn acro, or get some basic acro training from Aviator? I was just wondering about the story of your progression - It might make a cool video!
Just the tip. Thanks for another great video. :-)
keep up good vids
Great video, I noticed you mentioned shortening the main brake by 1.5 inches then at the end you added 1.5 back in so it’s back to original position? my speedster3 feels too long but the manual says not to adjust the main brake? I’m pulling below my nipple till it engages!
Find a nice virgin patch of snow and have a "shortest landing" competition.
About the smoke system: I fly a Corsair Black bee. I think the exhaust is expansion exhaust. Is it smart to install a smoke system??? Because a part of the gasses will return in the cylinder!?
Thanks for your advise, Frans.
Like your intro you changed to tucker.
Thanks for the great videos. I'm going to training at Aviator ppg in Lake Whales on August 10th. I found a good used Ozone Spyder 20m. Good beginner wing to practice kiting?
Put a smoke system on Jaclyn's paramotor and make it put out pink smoke. OR, put some real high quality hemp oil in it and dust a area to see if it makes a difference.
Now with 2D tied in does this mean you have to be cautious about accelerated flight (speedbar/trims)? I know the Roadster 3 doesn't recommend the use of brakes in combination with tip steering because of the reflex profile increasing the risk of collapse.
Best channel best videos as always
Watching this I felt like dangling myself into the chair.
Are you gonna take up speedflying? Would love to see your progression, since you already have so much time under a wing.
I really want to! Base jumping and speed flying are two disciplines I need to conquer in life. Working on base jumping now!
@@TuckerGott you should try speed flying, you can check if the wing inflate correctly before taking off. (Not like base jumping)
And do you paraglide? And thermal, and soaring?
Dude. I have an idea for a T-shirt. “Handle with Air” I am brushing up on my sailing knowledge before summer and this book I’m reading has a picture of a sail boat. It has handle with air printed on the stern and I thought it also applies to paragliding/motoring. 😃👍
I love your videos!
Have you ever flown a trike/quad? What in your opinion is the difference as far as flight experience is concerned? Also love the videos!
9:01 almost thought you were gonna crash
Tucker, So I take it that you didn't cut any of the original line, you just tied it shorter? Main line (tip line) now 1.5 inches shorter than the factory setup? What about the center line? Is it still on factory setting or is it also 1.5" shorter?
Tucker! Your hilarious! My sentiments exactly! Areo or acro.. who cares.. lol
yippee ki yay Tucker Trucker!!! :)
Are you able to sense an unintentional stall at all before it happens? In your hands, or gut?
Yes, when slowing down to stall speed, you feel much less wind in your face, and nearlh no wind noise. You also have to put a lot of pressure on the brakes to stall. Beginner wing have a special design that make it hard to stall because of the amount of brake pressure and distance you need to apply to stall the wing.
Tucker
Would you recommend doing this on a Roadster 3??? Also what was the website showing the picture of the knots that was on your phone?
Thanks!
I know this is an old video but howd you remove the bungee? Did you have to getto rig it or does it come off easy? New pulleys?
FYI : Like SIV, Acro might come from the french word "acrobatie" .
dont worry, yippie ki yay is a thing.
Gymnast of the Air ?
Wow,,,,,,,,,l'm here early for a change :O)
A word of caution shortening lines shortens lives.
I really enjoyed the video it was to short
@9:40 transition... That will take some getting used to if you keep doing it. Cool but weird effect. Camera out from editor. Weird, but cool.
Nice
Quick Questions: What's the lifespan of a wing? Also is there any kind of maintenance for the wing?.
Life of a wing depends on lot of factors.
On the fabric there is a special coating making it airtight, when the coating wears off, the air goes through the fabric more and more easily. When the coating is gone, the wing doesn't hold enough pressure inside, so it tend to not keep its shape as well as before. There is also less lift, controls are not as good.
There are a number of factor contributing to the coating wearing off:quality of the coating, UV light from the sun, if you use the wing at the beach, sand will get in the wing , in the stitching and you can never get it all out.its like you sand blast the coating.
There is also folding, if you fold the wing always in the same spot it damage it.
Aging of the wing can also reduce tear resistance.
About the lines, some lines carry more weight than other especially under high G loads in tight turn. Depending on material used for the lines, some can get longer and some can get shorter. This is a problem because just a few cm or inches can change the angle of attack of the wing, and change flight caracteristics, making more prone to collapses or stalls.
On high performance wing, some people replace the lines every 2 years.
Wing manufacturers advise to send the wing to a professional checker once a year, depending on use. They check air tightness of the fabric, tear resistance, adjust lines lenght, choose one line and check breaking strenght. After they send you a paper saying which % of life left in them.
I would says a wing can last around 200 to 300hours, depends if you want to fly with a not so safe wing anymore, or if you prefer to buy nice new wing.
I hope it answers your question.
Quick question, not so quick answer.
Could you please do a install vid for the smoke system
I will be soon! Just waiting to put a few more hours on my motor before I void the warranty.
5:10 can we get a HD still, desktop background material I could look at that for a while ;)
Have you ever thought about coaching or like giving lessons? I know it would be a little hard since as you've mentioned before there isnt a lot of time to safely and comfortably paramotor.
Good
Oh stfu
Will we see ParaVlog return in the future?
You should take your sweetie tandem flying ALOT MORE OFTEN, she'll be more comfortable solo.
Good morning
How much weight can these things take ?
I live ur vids
Can you come to Colorado and advertise for my restaurant? Any weekend will do.
Nice intro.
What bike do you have?
Love how the footprints just stop...
Is paramotor really safe to fly?
It's as safe as you make it! With proper training, good judgement and reliable gear, it is very safe.
Don't dare mention adjusting brakes on a wing with 2d steering in the MacPara group on Facebook or most of them will beat you to death with their keyboards but thankfully there are a few good individuals there with good common sense
i was noticing the flair before you went over it in the video and it seemed pretty exaggerated when you touched down.
Yippee Kyaaa @&&$@@&$ ....🤙👌
Hey Tucker, you should link up with Scotty Cranmer and Big Boy. They're only a few towns away.
Aye check out Kentucky Ballistics last video . Fail but fuckin cool guy and I think u guys could link the fuck up and do some dope ass videos
That has always irritated me that the FAA calls it acrobatic flight, and what you said AEROBATIC flight is what airplanes do, not gymnasts. And then there is the practicable, also lame. Yippekiyay IS a thing.
No discussion of your hands out to the sides vs. in, which I thought was the whole point to check the difference.
Still love the transition.
I don't know if anyone agrees or is it just me but I think that you look very much like Jesse Eisenberg
What will happen if a line snap?
There's plenty more
Yah your right
Just the tip
On the comment that people get upset when you use the term "acro" for aerobatics, I had an A&P instructor who would go mental on anyone that used "motor" and "engine" interchangeably, or referred to jet fuel as "gas." To his credit on the latter, I have had to defuel several aircraft because the customer said "gas" and the line guy was either too stupid or too poorly trained to actually look at the engines.
Yes, the "engine" and "motor" debate is another good one! "Paramotor" sounds a whole lot better than "paraengine" though.
What an interesting channel 🌬💨💨💨💨 ☁️🌤☁️
Do something for us fat guys that want to get in to this.
8th. Guessing that's not a thing?
13th like though! Can we apply meaning to that?
Sup
Hah First!
Hah no you are not
What happened to your hair....
Hey Tucker,
You think the tips should engage slightly before the trailing edge to help flying trimmed out?
Just curious as I am about to tie 2D in.
Yeah, generally having the tips engage first is where ya want it.
Thanks Judson,thats what i thought,just dont want to kill myself lol..maybe someday we can have a 2D tie in party at the park,I was talking to Mr Maas and he is about to do his also :)@@JudsonGraham
