    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.

    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.

      Despite his ignoring of this comment, his most recent videos that step away from his typical style also have less than his average number of views. It’s easy to see when you compare the past 4 excluding the most recent one since that isn’t really fair.

    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.

I know you have a lot of videos on your channel and I’ve been a subscriber for awhile so I’m sorry if I missed that one. Thank you.

  • @bryanworkman3902

    This is great! Always good for all of us to revisit the fundamentals and make sure we're flying safe. I like to go over my training notes from flight school every month or so. And despite how controversial training videos can be, I think the logic proof is that people will either get training or not despite videos being available. So at the very least providing information to those that decide not to is better than them flying without the info. Therefore, stuff like this is valid and adding value to the sport. ...but also go get training everyone haha
