As a firefighter involved heavily in aviation, it is imperative that we all share close calls and leave egos and blame aside. Everybody learns. Kudo's to you and your friends for sharing.
I'll go amen on that.
Exactly! No room for ego in this sport
Well I guess we are just the same guy, firefighter and heavy in aviation/flying itself. And a bit of motorcycles riding ;)
Ego is a fucker, Id's ok.
I have an old Spartan fiberglass single seat with hybrid wing that I bought 21 years ago and flew for a few years and it's sitting in the garage untouched for over 10 years. These beautiful videos make me want to fire that thing up!
Can I have it? :D
I never realized until I started flying with friends how EASY it is to lose sight of them! The whole new dynamic of up and down can really throw you. Someone goes low while I'm watching an aircraft way out in the distance for a minute ... now they're nowhere to be found! You literally have to look EVERYWHERE - up, down, sideways, diagonally, and everywhere in between. No close calls yet, but it has trained me to be hyper vigilant of where everyone is at all times. My buddy has been flying PPC over 20 years, and he told me he lost me as well up there. On the ground, there's only so many places one can be - in the sky, it's infinite.
AWESOME shots, fellas!!
Do they make a device that will beep whenever another pilot is flying near? Seems like that would come in very handy.
@@GodsItalianStallion ADS-B has that capability. Required in light aircraft, but not ultralights. Would be very expensive and difficult to install on a paramotor.
That’s place is so beautiful. I would’ve wanted to pull over and shut the engine off to listen to the quiet. That’s sort of a rare commodity… Peace and quiet.
If you can manage it get an off road vehicle and go all the way down, it’s amazing!
Careful though, you have to take a very scary trip down lol
I don't like when you look over cliffs, it gives me the balls crawls. I can't imagine that area not having funny drafts to deal with. We would never see it without your work so thank you. Good video. Pax.
No joke, I've stood in the Sears towers glass boxes and was fine. But some of the ledges in Canyonlands and other places in Moab I've been to are really unnerving, even 10ft from the edge
Same here just confirming my fear of heights hell I get sweating palms watching his vids sometimes.
@@alexrichardson3717 same a skyscraper doesn't bother me a cliff yeah and I think it's our subconscious fear reflex kicking in. We know the Tower is safe a cliff not so much, it might crumble we might get vertigo and stumble and fall.
Lol..you really wouldn't Iike standing on a lot of those undercut points in Yosemite at places like Taft Point. It sure gave me the heebie jeebies.
You know it's a good day when its 11 PM late night here in my country and i watch this masterpiece of a video. Just exploring the earth and a calm video.
This one was supper cool Tucker, I absolutely love Horse Shoe Bend. Its so cool when you can fly in a place like that. I wish they would let you fly in Zion. Thanks again man.
Very cool scenery! Glad everything was ok, with your friends' near miss. Thanks for sharing.
So Ive been wanting to get into paragliding for many years now, dad and uncle are pilots, im windsurfer kitesurfer sailor etc and I finally found a friend who paraglides and will fly with me when I have my training and gear. I have been binge watching your channel and now want to motorglide cause I could fly in my backyard that way. Your channel has taught me a lot and gets me more excited about flying with every video. Thank you so much for what you do, please keep it up and stay up! You guys are awesome and have converted one more person!
Hello! I’m in much the same situation, I’ll give you my two cents for free! I’m going to learn paragliding first for a few reasons. 1.cost as it’s much cheaper 2. You can use the same wing for paragliding and motoring so I can basically get one piece of kit first that will be used for the other. 3. And last but not least I’ve been told you get a better feel for listening to your wing from paragliding (less weight= more sensitive)
And so if you can learn/master paragliding it will make you more adept at paramotoring.
@@Rigatonispaghettioly thats the plan !
Glad both ur friends are ok. Thx for showing us.
Great vid! Great transparency on lessons learned (near miss). What beautiful scenary!
Was great flying with you guys. One I will remember forever.

Don't you need a permit or something to fly there? Because I know they don't allow drones
@@LegacyInBlood correct they don’t allow drones. There are no regulations preventing flying far103 though.
It sounds like maybe the chase cam was a drone lol.
Banning drones there, of all places, is silly.
When I see landscape like that it just makes me realize how small we are and wonder the time it took to make such marvels!
Great video. Gorgeous scenery.
Another great video! Thanks!
Great video and loved the AAR of the near air incident. Thanks for doing some of these videos showcasing our beautiful state of Utah!
Great stuff man! And thanks for sharing your journey & adventures. I almost decided not to get into PM.. & your videos helped me to "just do it" its not as bad as the media shows!. Your videos improved my experience of life otherwise i would just be living a 9-5 life on the surface & miss out on the real action offered by the planet! Thanks a million & yes you are making a difference in the community for sure & adding lots of value for others. Keep up the good work. Keep sharing & reflecting. Live long & prosper! Cheers
Awesome! Nice blues in the background too 👍
Talk about Birds Eye View 🦅 😎
Incredible videos, better and better. Stay safe! 👏
Dam your editing just got a million times better. Cheer's! 👍👍👍👊👊👊🕺🏼🕺🏼 lol. I'm from Philly. Let's Rip
Mikey
that was legit scary but beautiful too. i started thinking of a time in the future where maneuvers like this are orchestrated and executed for skill level and aesthetics. kind of like PPG ballet or something. Be safe dudes!
Love the Tucker videos always cutting edge
Excellent pilot, don't let the engine fail, you are number one 🏆🥇
Great flying with you guys, and to do it at such an iconic location, even better. It's strange though I wake up not thinking of that flight but rather your cappuccino.. .MMMmmm
Post flight coffee is the best coffee. 😄
@@TuckerGott, have you ever tried a rope swing or jump from a tandem?

Shout out to my Michigan gang
The content of this video is probably the most beautiful I have seen you film. I have been following you for four years since “Icarus”. Great video Tucker!
Just an AWESOME edit man. The music was great!!! Matched the stash. TOP SHELF
Miss that place so much. Used to live in Marble Canyon just downstream of there and worked for a guide service that fishes up in the canyon (iirc Horseshoe Bend was one of the better spots back then). Such an amazingly beautiful place to fish.
Cool Video Tucker! Ive always wanted to fly at horseshoebend! I also have the same Green Flannel 0:58 😂
Beautiful! And glad no one was hurt.
Sick tucker. rlly cool to see since ive been there
You really do know what you are doing. Great video!
Epic video! Thanks! 🤙🏼
amazing footage!
I've been down on the water there a few times but never at the top looking in. Spectacular scenery. A bit of adrenalin during that near mid-air I'll bet. Good on both of them to avoid being a statistic. Looks like another great adventure.
Now, like a lot of places, the overlook has been overrun by tourists trying to take selfies to share on their instagram accounts. Now it is access controlled because people were trashing the place, nothing is sacred.
If you're looking for more places to fly you gotta check out the Vance Creek Bridge! Highest abandoned bridge in the United States. Flying underneath would be next level.
I think if i were flying there and saw people camping on the ground, I would worry that I would be disturbing their quiet little get away. Love the footage you captured!
My thoughts exactly. Think I'd be pissed.
@@terrysullivan1992Yup. It's bad enough when you are at a campsite and ATV's are on a trail a quarter of a mile away, and you have to hear them all day long. But at least with this, it's not like paramotors are contently flying over head.
quiet getaway? There's like 5 boats. They made enough noise getting there... haha
Campers enjoying the tranquility: “Get the fuck out of here!”
Paramotorers: “They’re cheering for us”
From my Army flying days, if more than one of you are going to fly into a confined area at the same time, brief some king of plan, BEFORE you launch. Like entry/exit point, right/left turns only, you lead I will follow, in trail, stagger right/left. What happens if we lose sight of each other? Might save a few stains on the shorts.
You picked a great day to fly and captured even better video! Thanks for sharing.
Man glad to see they didn’t crash and get seriously hurt or worse. Thanks for sharing as always tucker 🔥🍻👊🏻🤙
Amazing video.. 👍👍👍👍
Your videos have me wanting to get a paramotor now, and you have taught me a lot about how to get in safely. I've been seeing the world in a similar perspective but from the camera of an fpv drone, so I couldn't imagine the thrill of actually putting yourself up in the sky! And when you said "it's 1000 feet according to google" of course google assistant would pop up on my phone.
Incredible visual content.
This is super impressive wow! Such an amazing place (and flying ar ar!)
Thanks for inspiring me to visit horseshoe ben! Looks absolutely gorgeous!
Earth better ask Tucker before it builds more continents.
Man you're constantly surprising me with where I find you commenting! 😂 a true OG UA-cam renaissance man.
YO! My man. Huge fan.
People always surprised to see ytbers watching UA-cam like no duh lol
Or it'll turn him into chocolate rain? :D
What the heck? What a treat haha
Nice work!!!!!!
Cool vid mate, yep gotta keep an eye on other aircraft when they are around.,,,thanks for sharing,👍
that looks incredible. Im soon going to start gliding and flying planes and gliding and i cant wait to have a look at some of the views.
Wow! I kayaked it in the summer. Beautiful place and the water is always cold, even in the hot season.
I’m in my mid 60s….I flew in the Navy and later, as a federal wildlife biological technician…I always had an aluminum skin between the sky and me. Watching these videos both scare the s-t out of me and makes me want to do it! And that GoPro on a stick…..wow! Bravo-Zulu…..great video!
Man, that is fun to watch. Epic! I will fly.
Leaning over that cliff...OMG...made me feel weak at the knees!
Risky Bisqas, another good vidio.
I was there there 2 months ago and was thinking this would be great to do with a paramotor. Up comes this video! Whoohoo!
That place looks amazing!!...
SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!
Wow. I can’t believe you are doing wing over in the canyon. You are doing amazing things for this channel.
I was dying laughing because almost didn't recognize Tucker with the pilot's mustache. I was like who's that? 😂🤣
Hi Tucker,
That was a beautiful area to be flying in. A little insane flying but a great video...Judson must have their caught a fish...and it was this big syndrome " They were very lucky not to have hit each other. Pilot skills!!!!
Your base jump was narlly...the rocks looked pretty darn close on opening.
Take care,
Be safe.
Just got Zuckerbots Meta(Oculus) Quest 2 and I really want some paramotoring VR footage. I'll even strap on a mustache and turn up the box fan to get the full effect.
Fantastic video as always, btw.
Do you need some extra soy?
Tucker never disappoints.
wow amazing!
It is good to see the honest debrief occurring and it would be good to reflect on how this could be prevented in the future. To minimise the risk a brief, between friends, could have probably avoided the mid air risk. In commercial aviation our briefs are overwhelmingly threat based and relevant. So for this video a mid air risk is clearly worth discussing. I’m not yet able to get into paramotoring but as an outsider perhaps an agreement on altitude or time deconfliction, the old adage of plan the flight, fly the plan, etc but basically how can that threat be avoided, how would you trap that you are getting too close and finally what mitigation’s can be deployed? A review of reserve deployment, etc.
Naturally this may be perceived as going against the free spirit nature of the sport but one hates to see people coming to harm and a relaxed brief could keep things exciting still, but safe.
I can’t wait to start paramotorimg and these videos are really inspiring
omgosh... its so crazy because everything looks small... well what I mean is it doesnt look that deep or like its really that far away until you see the campers and THAT puts it into perspective for real! lol
Green river Colorado. I did a 5 day kayak trip down that river. Amazingly beautiful.
Is incredible, I would be so wary of weird draft and thermals in the Canyon, but you guys are good! wow
Bravo les gars,super vues.Have fun
Whoa 😳…. That’s killer content 🤘
Well, wearing those pants Judson doesn't have to worry about floods or water landings. 🤣😂 I guess maybe the flood pants look of the 50's/60's is coming back in vogue? Either that or he's a trend setter. lol
nice! i live in page! glad to see you were here!
I hear the legendary Mike cotter laugh reacting to the near collision video lol
Thats a fun place, I learn repelling near there.
That’s is a beautiful view
What a dream!
I've looked up from below, I've looked down from above, but I've never seen Glen canyon from that view.
Thanks for that.
Next, please fly the San Francisco peaks, just an hour south.
Awesome location..
Awesome video. The GoPro doesn't do the cliff's justice... they are MASSIVE with straight falls to the bottom. It's incredible there.
Was at grand canyon yesterday thats awesome!
I live in Idaho and want to get a parometer sooo bad your an inspiration! 😂🔥
That looks like fun.
Nice video!
Nice vid!
Trucker wish your videos were longer really enjoyed Horse shoe Bend beautiful place to see where I won’t see it thank you I’m in Iowa we have farm to see Woopee thanks again
This is so cool!
Incredible video of Horseshoe Bend. The footage of getting to the edge does not give the sensation that doing it in person does. It is a shock. Would like to have seen the full size video of the near collision but I understand that was an editing decision.
Lol! I just eatched your latest video of how you moved to Arizona and I had the knackers to suggest uou go yo Horseshoe bend, lol. You totally already came here.
Hi Tucker, you are without a doubt an excellent pilot and the best PPG UA-camr. This video is amazing ..but in recent videos you have repeatedly crossed the boundaries of safe flying. Many pilots have you as a role model and will try the same as you. And what if they can't do it? When that happens, will you feel moral responsibility for their injury or death? Likewise, the probability that something will go wrong for you increases. May happiness remain with you!!!
Awesome stuff - nearly as good as a Mavic 3 😆😆😆😆😝😝😝
Epic content 👌 😎
Bruh how you know it's epic. By the time of my comment this video has been posted like 3 minutes ago so you have barely watched the video
Because I watched the last video and knew what was coming. Familiar with the area and so knew the shots would be ......epic. thanks for your concern though 😘
Omg beautiful.
EPIC !!
Like the video? How could you not like it. Great. But yeah that was a close one. I went down through the canyon by raft once. Nice but you had the ultimate view.
Holy Hell!! Thank goodness that Judson and Dan got out of that safely. That was so close.
So of those jump off points give my knees the weird feeling. I glad all enjoyed themselves.
Awsome Awsome video.
I've been here a numbers of times since I first visited in the mid-1980s for landscape photography. The perspective from down inside the canyon is totally different than what I expected - much more open. From the rim, it looks much smaller. Very nice.
Would have loved to watch you guys. I live in Page. Just a few minutes away from horseshoe bend. I honestly didn’t know you can fly down there. I’ve see paramotors flying around here. They won’t allow drones so I figured it would be same for paramotors. It was nice watching you. I think you were down at the lower horseshoe bend not the upper one near Page. I didn’t see the hundreds of tourists that hike out to overlook the cliffs. Either way, thanks. I enjoyed the view.
Visited that canyon in X-Plane 11 VR with ortho-imagery, but it was still nowhere near as pretty as the real deal. Thanks for sharing. Glad the guys didn't collide!
