Well Tucker, now you’ve done it. Lived in Phoenix for 30 years, here’s a couple survival tips. NEVER drive anywhere without taking some water or something to drink. Keep a gallon or 2 of water in the car, if you break down you’ll need it. Get a small towel for your car to cover the steering wheel, better yet get a good collapsible sun shade. In the middle of summer that interior gets HOT. BEWARE, the seatbelt buckle doubles as a branding iron. (Hint, small towel). Remember that EVERYTHING has thorns or needles & Scorpions LOVE palm trees (and sneakers). Keep a hoodie in the car, 95 degrees in the daytime but it can get pretty chilly as soon as the sun sets in that high desert. I hope you enjoy your new digs. The sunsets and sunrises out there are the most spectacular things I have ever witnessed. I’m glad to see you moving on. Been a fan since just before Icarus and am always eager for your content. Thank you for sharing with us & thank goodness you finally outgrew that hideous porno mustache. Much love brother, Send It!
Dude, no need to apologize for anything. You've given us years of good content. We enjoy the flying as well as general life updates. All relatable content. I'm sure you'll find love soon and get some magic happening in that bedroom.
After he is married! I wasn't a perfect person or square either most of my life but I turned towards God and his plan for us and whether you're religious or not we've got to bring back values and morals to our society. If you want a real partner you'll find someone that's worth waiting for.
Tucker, can I give you some advice, storing your RV outside in Arizona will cause you great pain within a short time. You may want to put a solar cover over the top. UV damage will destroy your beautiful RV.
As a married man about ten years older than tucker with two young kids…. The videos Tucker posts allow me to live vicariously and day dream about how I wished I lived my early and mid twenties. I can sit at my desk watching this dude soar over iceland and it makes my day a little better knowing that experience is out there. Tucker, the heartache of lost love is one of the high forms of pain that men are going to experience in life. It is soul crushing. Looks like you are doing everything right in the aftermath, get ripped, move away, stay busy and do new things. It gets better.
Great advice. Another thing That really helps a lot of people is turning towards God. I was always a believer but There's a lot of mistakes my parents made and bad preaching to make me not really be interested or understand the message but I started listening to Mark Driscoll and realizing the true way we're supposed to interpret the Bible And how we are supposed to be as people. Following God's plan keeps us from hurting ourselves. Find a nice nice godly woman who loves Jesus and adventure and I don't think you'll have to go through that again!
I've watched you when you were in a small place in NJ. You've grown so much over the years. It's so nice to see the growth you've made. You've always made me feel you were a humble person, who's grateful for what he's got, I also get the feeling you feel you somehow don't deserve it, when in fact you do. You've brought a lot of great entertainment to so many people, and we sure need some relaxing entertainment these days. Love the area you are in, beautiful home, love the kitchen, and you have one heck of an HOA, along with the neighbors. Not all HOA's are as tolerant as yours, and that is so refreshing to see. I hope is stays that way for you. Till next time. 👍
Set up a 2ch mic system with 1 mic behind your back near the motor. When you edit your videos, you can invert the phase of this engine/prop soundtrack and multiply the helmet mic, and it will remove the paramotor sound. By adjusting the levels of the engine track, you can adjust how much of the sound you want to keep in the video.
It's possible to do this with a set of dji/rode mics. Simply use both mics. Personally I'd use something like a zoom f3 with a pair of lavs. A good 32bit recorder like this, and it will basically never clip unless it physically clips the mic capsule.
"Practicing gratitude" is wisdom. We think that happiness should come our way if we do the right things, but sometimes you have to intentionally be thankful for something, no matter how small, for our brain to recognize the happiness it brings us.
A change of scenery is sometimes what you really need. My Mum and I were close, so when she suddenly passed away I decided the grey weather of England was really depressing and was no longer for me, so I moved to sunny Florida! Changing country is a really big deal, but after 20 years on this side of the pond I can confirm that the reboot I did back then, helped me a great deal. I'm looking forward to watching your forthcoming road trip and the review of the 4-stroke, seeing your adventures from the new LZ and I do hope you can keep the HOA Karen's at bay! All the best! Go Tucker!
Cool house. I’m not sure why I stuck around after the flying, but it’s interesting to see how TH-cam people live. You are 100% the talk of the neighborhoods! I bet the community Facebook group is a riot. I can ONLY imagine what the “normal” people are saying about you and your alternative life style. Keep it up. Love the content.
Watching this video I realized you are now neighbors with another of my favorite TH-camrs. He's an 82 year old man who makes drone videos and videos riding around on his e-trike just talking about things going on in his life and stories from over the years. If you happen to see a guy on a grey trike with an orange flag stop and say hi if you have time. He's owned a few planes in his lifetime and enjoys talking about flying.
I'd rather not say here because some of the videos on that channel reveal exactly where the guy lives. He doesn't mind people knowing but Tucker may not want his exact location to be found that easily. I realize it's not that hard to find people with all the information available on the internet but unless Tucker says it's okay to name the other channel I prefer not to.
I agree. Standing in front of his house with the numbers clearly visible along with other details shown doesn't exactly make him hard to find. That's actually how I found out he lives close to the other guy after noticing so many similarities in their videos.
One of my favorite writers, Kurt Vonnegut, struggled with depression his whole life, and he always advised that when you're seeing a beautiful sunset or having a laugh with your friends or even just having a good sandwich on a comfy sofa, you should take a moment to say to yourself, "if this isn't nice, I don't know what is." That's stayed with me and helped me keep my head in the game when I'm going through a rough patch. Beautiful footage here as usual, keep it up brother 😎
Every flight, I try to take a moment , look around, and then scream at the top of my lungs, “LOOK WHERE THE F*** I AM!!!!” Sometimes I do it twice. 😉 It seems silly, but it’s a great way for me to step back and recognize exactly what I’m doing and seeing, and how lucky I am to be able to do it.
Hi Tucker, thanks for the house tour and flight. Sometimes when you think you have nothing you actually have everything. Keep in mind theres always going to be “stuff”hanging over your head in life. Type A guys basically go from one problem to another much do to their own making. You have a lifestyle that most men your age would kill for. I see the cars, the house, the toys, etc etc. as far as a relationship love relationship goes, and I feel qualified to say it after 64 years of marriage to the same girl, right now you have other interests and a love relationship is on your back burner. When you get tired of the toys, and you will, then it’s time to settle down. Just sayin'. Joe
Welcome to my city, Tucker! Well, I am in Tempe. AZ born and bred. I moved around in my twenties. But I still call this state home. Hope you enjoy it here. The only tip I would offer is to make sure you respect the heat. This place can be savage when the heat of the summer is at an apex. If you don't respect it, it can kill you. When it is really hot outside, don't hike, don't run, don't exert yourself without a quick exit and water. Stay safe!
Enjoy your peace and serenity, Tucker. Trust me trust me just sit back relax, look around and say to yourself “oh yeah baby”. I’m 53, been watching you for several years from back when I got injured and was off work like back when you first started. Have 4 grown kids and looking at what you’ve built for yourself there, all alone is like a dream. I could live like that and be so dang happy happy, baby! Don’t get me wrong, family, kids are the best in the world but I’m speaking as a 53 yr old who’s been married for almost 30 yrs and raised a family. Now that kids are gone life is a wee bit different and let’s just say I really appreciate what you have going there and I’m secretly living vicariously through these glimpses you provide. Fantastic job you’ve done Rucker building your brand and actually really growing up. I remember when you lived at home with your folks so fantastic job young man, your parents must be so proud. Take care, VB Gresham, Oregon
So lovely to see your new place. Glad you are doing more of the jumping and flying without all the hassels. Been loving your channel for a long long time. Have a great week Tucker!
Hello Tucker, I’m glad you’re having another wonderful adventure out west. I lived and worked in Arizona for 15 years. I think you are wonderful and wish you the best.
Grew up in AZ, got my license from Sawyer Aviation back when it was located at Sky Harbor. Your clip flying along the canal reminded me of our South Mountain practice field. We would practice emergency landings in 152's on the canal banks/maintenance roads...it was awesome! Miss Glendale and Flagstaff, enjoy man!
Same here. I got training in October 2022. 57 now. While other TH-camrs like to show off extreme, stunt flying and stuff, Tucker keeps it real. Yes, he does some wingovers and expert stuff, but he spends a lot of time just casually flying and talking. The flying itself is the thrill. Not everyone is looking to push the envelope. Tucker is also an old soul. He is balanced and has wisdom beyond his years. Enjoy Arizona! I am in Florida but trained in Vegas and go to the desert every chance I get.
Tuck, I'm enthralled by your openness and transparency! Thank you for showing us a little private side. I have always wanted to paramotor but too afraid of wing collapses. I feel like we are friends by what you shared. Blessings to you sir!
What gets me, is that you’re extremely handsome and you don’t expect that you’re going to get these 10 out of 10 girls and not running into some heartbreak? You yourself are the perfect 10. Have a lot more confidence in yourself. You are honestly a walking and talking 16 point buck. If there was one. Forget the frayed relationship. Now is now. And “Tuckers on Top right now!” You do some of the most insane stuff in the world. I don’t think I would ever try your sport. Keep your head held high. Glad things are going well for you, and you aren’t limiting yourself to just one place.
Hey Mr. T! The first time I ever saw one of your videos it was during the van life series, and you were flying from just outside of Sedona Arizona, up to the rocks and back. I think I’ve seen everyone twice since then! I used to live in Sedona back in the 70s before you existed and it was beautiful there as well. I’m glad your new digs are setting in good with you and that you have the opportunity to visit the beautiful locations in the west without having to make a two week long journey to get her done. Great great video here. Looking forward to the next. Have a great day.
What I would give to be young and able again young man , I told my youngest son sometimes in my dreams I fly , over the year's, I was Abel to somewhat control myself from falling in my dreams , flown in a air plain about 4 years ago for the first time and it was beautiful and amazing Tucker!!!!! THANKS for the rides with you from my living room!
Hi Tucker, caught you on Anthony Vellas' #001 Pod cast. You both are extremely inspirational, good job! I have been watching your videos and I am very impressed with your logical safety approach to this sport. I have been itching to get into the sport lately. However, I do see to many items that are safety concerns. Now after seeing all the new products like Electric Paramotors, and fuel injected paramotors, I have not seen anything NEW or even mentioned about new Safety products, or systems? I think that is the area that needs to be focused on now. I think that is what this sport needs. And now is the time to focus on that area of this sport. Using Anthonys' Accident, and others that you have investigated leaves you in the perfect position to investigate Possible NEW Safety systems. With more people getting into this sport, this is the area that needs a light focused on it.
Man! Open and honest... as always! I left my hometown when I was 19, 56 now and although home will always call me, I now hear all the other places calling just as clearly! Love is gonna find you Tucker. Hang in there! Your neighbors ain't ready for a single and financially independent single dude. You make them very jealous! Love the new house! Oludeniz man, reward yourself with a summer adventure!
You are doing well, and thanks for sharing your life and home. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. It would be nice to meet you one day. If you ever think of visiting Edmonton Canada let me know here.
DUUUUUDE! I live fairly close to that area! Welcome to AZ! That's so cool to have you here, I hope you find lots of adventures to get into. I hope I see you flying over one day!
lol @ "absolutely no magic happening here" . Welcome to AZ Tucker, we'll be keeping an eye on the sky for you. FYI, winds tend to calm down later in summer. It's just been extra breezy this year.
Folks, 'Arizona' isn't just 'Phoenix'. We're in Southeastern Arizona - within sight of Mexico - and we are fully in our monsoon season. Search 'Arizona monsoon' images. Afternoon storms bring the temps from the 90s to sometimes mid-60s to low 80s (and low humidity). We're cooler than most places in the south, and mountains and views everywhere. Tombstone is 15 minutes away, and there's even one of the country's few rivers that flow from south to north...
Man, I hope your neighbors are honored to be able to see you and your paramotor! Nice new Helmet! We traded places, I discovered you during the Pandemic when I was in Santa Rita/Vail Arizona living in a neighborhood that looks just like the one you lived in. Now I live in Philly and I am still a fan watching!! I can't wait for your Arizona and lower Utah adventures. I know some spectacular places that are amazing visually. Sedona for sure, but a lesser known place is Page, Az where Horseshoe Bend is. (**Update- I have since realized you have already done this and the video was everything I'd hoped for and more!!**) Also, I have always wanted to see Grand Staircase monument and it seems like it would be a great place to really recharge. But just so you know, most of the time I was in Arizona, I went through what you are feeling right now. Also, being from back East, your brain is wired to appreciate green everywhere as a beauty standard. It is a shock to your senses not to see that everywhere. Nobody says you have to stay in Az. forever. When you get Homesick, drive back East!
Glad to see you doing so well, Tucker, even as you're working through the pain of a relationship that didn't work out. If you're looking to meet a great lady, please let me give you some advice that's worked for me; join a church! A lot of girls at church have good values and are family oriented, so the odds are better that they're not just playing games. Also, people at church are generally interested in sharing life with others, so it's a good community to be part of. Thanks for all the great content!
I love the new place. Sounds like you’re doing well. If any of your friends need a 43 foot toyhauler a 2020 pre-pandemic model let me know as mine is for sale. The bed in the garage goes very high so it has room for a hoop of a powered parachute.
You'll be fine...you have the same 'stick lights' I have in my bachelor pad. Keep cranking with your channel, be safe with your flying adventures, keep growing those muscles and...like you do with your paramotors...seek out a few 'oil change' opportunities. All you need is an oil change for the time being...you'll eventually find a Ms. Mechanic.
You are getting things done and staying after that wonderful life! Keep on keeping on! Be grateful, positive and thoughtful, those characteristics have real benefits! Love Laugh Live!!!
I was single for 30 years, and now married for 35. I can remember all too well being a young adult in Tucson and SoCal, working as a chronically unfulfilled EE in high tech. If I'd known all the great things that would happen in the future, I wouldn't have despaired so often.
Damn Tucker that place is nice. Congratulations I’m happy for you brother. You deserve it man you are such an awesome person. Thank you for always sharing your life with us. I can’t wait for the road trip videos.
Thanks for the tour and the sightseeing flight. You've got some pretty cool digs. The Southwest heat is no joke though. It's cliche to say "when one door closes, another opens", but the key sometimes is to close that first door and embrace what's through the new one. We look forward to some really cool trips, stories, news, and updates. Wish the best of life for you.
Tucker, your House Tour video was great. We fly out, have a look at the 'hood and then we hang with you. Your tour was so relaxed and very relatable. You have relaxed so much in this sort of presentation that it was fun. I like your house. One can get too much decoration but time will tell. I built my house 41 years ago and I have accumulated SO much clutter. Doesn't matter, but I would dread moving. Thanks for inviting us to your place. It was interesting and real fun.
I’m 30 with 3 kids and Tucker Gott convinced me to start flying planes, skydiving, and paramotor. Thanks for your McDonald’s video buddy, I love my Parajet Maverick 🎉❤. Nothing like the rush of jumping out of an airplane though. I’m not ready for a BASE jump yet but I do want to jump out of a balloon. I love you buddy ❤️ don’t stress about a b!tch. She will never get you where you’re going brother 🆙 ⬆️ you will find the right person of the right caliber at the right time, just keep pushing forward and stay true to yourself ❤ you got this 🎊
Hey Tucker: Great video(s). Transparent. Honest...A sign of internal strength...I Love vicariously living through your adventures and learning (or relearning) risk management perspectives as a long-time pilot, myself! I see the "younger me" in the spirit and excitement of your videos! Perfectly healthy to process life the way you are doing it. Impressive. I encourage you to try not to second guess yourself and hang onto too many regrets! Life is always changing and challenging, and resiliency and adaptability are the keys to navigating this life. Forgiving ourselves for past decisions and mistakes is essential to embracing the present and future. Life can be very good, as you know...I am a hang glider pilot of 50 years, paraglider pilot for 4. I am a retired school/clinical social worker and have been a therapist for 6 years - part time - gotta leave room for flying, kayaking, hiking, etc! Anyway, (please excuse the therapist/pilot in me) perhaps it would be a good thing to check in with a local counselor/therapist for e few sessions to process your past few years a bit as well as the exciting new changes in your life? Sometimes that helps us "move on" emotionally and psychologically, get "unstuck", and free us up "more fully" to once again experience all our adventures, friendships, flying, sunsets, etc. and "reconnect" our spirit and soul with our surroundings and environment and current relationships. Fly Safe! Fly Well! Fly as long as you can! We are a privileged few who get to do what we do! Feel free to contact me outside of this, as well! -Dave
The liberty a MAN can enjoy when he lets go of the 'ball and chain" his mother told him to wear is amazing. I am glad to see you enjoying the fruits of your labor and the liberty of good choices. Get a vasectomy if you have not already and enjoy life. There will be plenty of time to have a family after you have grown up and understand the world better. Time does that no matter what you know now. cheers .
Those vibe lights are really something. I recently started using smart lights on a timer to wake me up (instead of just an alarm clock) and its a game changer. I think your interior design is really good.
I've been watching you brother for at least 3 to 4 years. I've lived in the shadow of the Superstition Mountains most of my life. Tucker I have a place on 16th st and Idaho. It has a rv gate. Its.a great place to stade a pre flight .
You've carved out a really nice life and lifestyle. The gaps will fill in. No need to rush anything. just keep living your best life and the pieces will come together. Thanks for sharing.
Tucker, a lot of us go thru periods of our lives where we are or were mentally “walking wounded”. Regret is a terrible thing to live with, especially since the things we tend to regret the most are the things we didn’t do rather than the things we did. My heartfelt advice is for you to love yourself enough and show yourself enough Grace to forgive your mistakes with time for healing. It is said that it takes as long to get over a relationship as you were in it but I found that isn’t necessarily the case-it takes until you are ready to allow yourself to be Human and suffer that part of the Human experience. The only thing more tragic than a relationship breaking because one person isn’t happy is when the other person is broken. I hope you heal soon.
I am seriously considering this sport at 60+ years. I missed the boat for my privet pilot but I had fun as an A&P for many years doing ground loops with The CRJ200, B99 and C208's and a bunch of puddle jumpers. I getting the itch to get in the air.
Tucker! The most eligible bachelor in the country! Enjoy the freedom though really! I just bought a place in Turkey to be close to flying action. Now I can take a bus to the foot of a mountain, hike / ride up, fly, then be home for dinner. Sure beats back in Canada where it's a day trip to get anywhere to fly at all. Not sure what the paramotoring scene is in Türkiye where I'm at, need to look into that ;) Thanks for the update!
Welcome to Arizona, my home state! I’ve given lots of thought to saving up and getting into paramotoring instead of funneling all my spare cash just into motorcycling. Knowing there’s likely to be a community in state is even better motivation
Congrats on the new house, and thank you for the house tour! Arizona seems super interesting, am looking forward to more desert life content. Please keep up the excellent work, and best regards from Brasilia, Brazil.
nice House and setup...thank you for taking us through your personal domain :) for your walls....I'm sure you have plenty of photos of yourself up in the sky to put up
So important to branch out, explore new things and areas. I have lived in the SW including NM, AZ, UT NV. CA. And loved Sea of Cortez Mexico. Yes, explore. So important.
Put a fader on the switch for that bright chandelier in that dining area. It will tone down that light, no need to replace the whole fixture. Be safe, have fun.
We have the older model of your Genesis grill, it's about 15 years old and still looks new. Only things I had to replace were the igniter recently and I swapped out my old cast iron grates for some stainless ones. Hopefully it gives you many years of great grilling. 🐾🐾
Hey brother, glad you are getting settled and comfortable in your new space. Anthony said the interview went well and looking forward to seeing it. I need to make it back to AZ again now that your out there to hopefully fly some sites with ya. Life has it's ups and downs and your right, you cannot run from the lows... your setting a great example of that. I've got some excellent content I listen to often to keep my mind in the right space - reach out if your interested. Keep up the great content.
Glad to see you’ve settled in to your new house. Pretty cool that you can board down to your take off point. I first thought you were going to fly from there in front of your house. I’ve got a pic you could hang on one of your walls if you’d like. Looking forward to seeing more videos of your flying adventures. Thanks for sharing.
Grew up in Mesa and Queen creek.. Some must sees...South Mountain Park and Preserve, Havasupai Falls, 390th memorial museum/aircraft graveyard in Tucson, geoglyphs in Yuma, Blythe area. I solo'd in a super cub and the Superstitions were my favorite playground..I have some secret squirrel sites there that you might enjoy as well :) Great home tour, Arizona has heaps to offer.
A fresh start with fresh goals it's good especially when you're this young I've done it a few times myself. It gets harder when you get older especially when you accumulate a lot of stuff like a family.
4 stroke motor i cant wait to see the video on that tucker i wonder how much heveryer it is compared to the 2stroke one and noise level would be good form the 4stroke cant wait mate
Art wise maybe have a still from a video of the more enjoyable areas you've flown. Can have those made at Costco for a fair price. Nice place you have glad to see you are enjoying it.. Might consider taking a few from HOA on a tandem flight not much in duration but still they might get the bug and be out with you.
Nice tour, Tucker! The house is pretty spacious and your one piece of art so far is stunning....how about some warm light grays and lavenders for the walls? You could take some cues from the beautiful tones that hit the desert mountains at sunset and sunrise, also. Hope the HOA experience stays positive for you...have heard horror stories of people in Fla not even able to park pickups in their driveways! Ridiculous!
Moved to AZ? Wow! I’m an AZ native who more recently lived in NJ for 8 years, but I’m back in AZ. Funny, saw some paramotors flying up around Rye and also off the US60 east of Gold Canyon recently and thought of you. Guessing now it could have been you. Not the most fun place to fly in the summer. I remember the turbulence when leaning to fly my grandfather’s Cessna. Not sure how that affects a paramotor though. Welcome and enjoy the AZ skys!!
It's awesome to see you out west Tucker. If you head south towards Benson again where it is about 20 degrees cooler than Phx, it would be awesome to you out buzzing around.
Hey, I have always loved your designs for your shirts! My favorite so far was the desert landscape in the goggles, but I have never gotten one of them. The reason being I'm a paraglider guy not a paramotor guy. Is there any chance of you doing a more general free flight design? Something that paraglider, paramotor, and maybe even hang glider pilots could all enjoy?
@@DblDg1252 that would be super cool! Like you're looking at a wing front on and through the lines you see a desert, a beach, mountains, and flatlands. I would totally buy that
Hope you find some more inner happiness with time brother, been a long time followers since you used to vacation out here at Goldfield Ghosttown by the superstition Mountains.
Well Tucker, now you’ve done it. Lived in Phoenix for 30 years, here’s a couple survival tips. NEVER drive anywhere without taking some water or something to drink. Keep a gallon or 2 of water in the car, if you break down you’ll need it. Get a small towel for your car to cover the steering wheel, better yet get a good collapsible sun shade. In the middle of summer that interior gets HOT. BEWARE, the seatbelt buckle doubles as a branding iron. (Hint, small towel). Remember that EVERYTHING has thorns or needles & Scorpions LOVE palm trees (and sneakers). Keep a hoodie in the car, 95 degrees in the daytime but it can get pretty chilly as soon as the sun sets in that high desert. I hope you enjoy your new digs. The sunsets and sunrises out there are the most spectacular things I have ever witnessed. I’m glad to see you moving on. Been a fan since just before Icarus and am always eager for your content. Thank you for sharing with us & thank goodness you finally outgrew that hideous porno mustache. Much love brother, Send It!
That's a dedicated dude right there bro
Comment about the stache was unexpected lmaoo
Dude, no need to apologize for anything. You've given us years of good content. We enjoy the flying as well as general life updates. All relatable content. I'm sure you'll find love soon and get some magic happening in that bedroom.
FACTS!!! 💯
Solo magic in the bedroom is still magic in my book, nothing wrong with that 😉
After he is married! I wasn't a perfect person or square either most of my life but I turned towards God and his plan for us and whether you're religious or not we've got to bring back values and morals to our society. If you want a real partner you'll find someone that's worth waiting for.
Tucker, can I give you some advice, storing your RV outside in Arizona will cause you great pain within a short time. You may want to put a solar cover over the top. UV damage will destroy your beautiful RV.
As a married man about ten years older than tucker with two young kids…. The videos Tucker posts allow me to live vicariously and day dream about how I wished I lived my early and mid twenties. I can sit at my desk watching this dude soar over iceland and it makes my day a little better knowing that experience is out there.
Tucker, the heartache of lost love is one of the high forms of pain that men are going to experience in life. It is soul crushing. Looks like you are doing everything right in the aftermath, get ripped, move away, stay busy and do new things. It gets better.
Great advice. Another thing That really helps a lot of people is turning towards God. I was always a believer but There's a lot of mistakes my parents made and bad preaching to make me not really be interested or understand the message but I started listening to Mark Driscoll and realizing the true way we're supposed to interpret the Bible And how we are supposed to be as people. Following God's plan keeps us from hurting ourselves. Find a nice nice godly woman who loves Jesus and adventure and I don't think you'll have to go through that again!
I just made basically SAME POST up above! I’m not alone 🤩🙌
I've watched you when you were in a small place in NJ. You've grown so much over the years. It's so nice to see the growth you've made. You've always made me feel you were a humble person, who's grateful for what he's got, I also get the feeling you feel you somehow don't deserve it, when in fact you do. You've brought a lot of great entertainment to so many people, and we sure need some relaxing entertainment these days.
Love the area you are in, beautiful home, love the kitchen, and you have one heck of an HOA, along with the neighbors. Not all HOA's are as tolerant as yours, and that is so refreshing to see. I hope is stays that way for you. Till next time. 👍
Set up a 2ch mic system with 1 mic behind your back near the motor.
When you edit your videos, you can invert the phase of this engine/prop soundtrack and multiply the helmet mic, and it will remove the paramotor sound. By adjusting the levels of the engine track, you can adjust how much of the sound you want to keep in the video.
It's possible to do this with a set of dji/rode mics. Simply use both mics. Personally I'd use something like a zoom f3 with a pair of lavs. A good 32bit recorder like this, and it will basically never clip unless it physically clips the mic capsule.
As a sound guy I can verify this is effective
Your whole vibe has changed, for the better, since you moved. Good to see you happy about your future again.
Amen great comment!!
Came here to say that I love the vibe
"Practicing gratitude" is wisdom. We think that happiness should come our way if we do the right things, but sometimes you have to intentionally be thankful for something, no matter how small, for our brain to recognize the happiness it brings us.
In the same instance also don't make it so much pressure that you can't enjoy things. 😊
A change of scenery is sometimes what you really need. My Mum and I were close, so when she suddenly passed away I decided the grey weather of England was really depressing and was no longer for me, so I moved to sunny Florida! Changing country is a really big deal, but after 20 years on this side of the pond I can confirm that the reboot I did back then, helped me a great deal. I'm looking forward to watching your forthcoming road trip and the review of the 4-stroke, seeing your adventures from the new LZ and I do hope you can keep the HOA Karen's at bay! All the best! Go Tucker!
Cool house. I’m not sure why I stuck around after the flying, but it’s interesting to see how TH-cam people live.
You are 100% the talk of the neighborhoods! I bet the community Facebook group is a riot. I can ONLY imagine what the “normal” people are saying about you and your alternative life style.
Keep it up. Love the content.
Watching this video I realized you are now neighbors with another of my favorite TH-camrs. He's an 82 year old man who makes drone videos and videos riding around on his e-trike just talking about things going on in his life and stories from over the years. If you happen to see a guy on a grey trike with an orange flag stop and say hi if you have time. He's owned a few planes in his lifetime and enjoys talking about flying.
What is the name of the channel
I'd rather not say here because some of the videos on that channel reveal exactly where the guy lives. He doesn't mind people knowing but Tucker may not want his exact location to be found that easily. I realize it's not that hard to find people with all the information available on the internet but unless Tucker says it's okay to name the other channel I prefer not to.
@@Xterraforce there’s enough info on this video to pin point exactly where Tucker lives… lol
I agree. Standing in front of his house with the numbers clearly visible along with other details shown doesn't exactly make him hard to find. That's actually how I found out he lives close to the other guy after noticing so many similarities in their videos.
@@Xterraforce just tell us if it’s that easy
One of my favorite writers, Kurt Vonnegut, struggled with depression his whole life, and he always advised that when you're seeing a beautiful sunset or having a laugh with your friends or even just having a good sandwich on a comfy sofa, you should take a moment to say to yourself, "if this isn't nice, I don't know what is." That's stayed with me and helped me keep my head in the game when I'm going through a rough patch.
Beautiful footage here as usual, keep it up brother 😎
Every flight, I try to take a moment , look around, and then scream at the top of my lungs, “LOOK WHERE THE F*** I AM!!!!” Sometimes I do it twice. 😉 It seems silly, but it’s a great way for me to step back and recognize exactly what I’m doing and seeing, and how lucky I am to be able to do it.
Hi Tucker, thanks for the house tour and flight. Sometimes when you think you have nothing you actually have everything. Keep in mind theres always going to be “stuff”hanging over your head in life. Type A guys basically go from one problem to another much do to their own making. You have a lifestyle that most men your age would kill for. I see the cars, the house, the toys, etc etc. as far as a relationship love relationship goes, and I feel qualified to say it after 64 years of marriage to the same girl, right now you have other interests and a love relationship is on your back burner. When you get tired of the toys, and you will, then it’s time to settle down.
Just sayin'.

Welcome to my city, Tucker! Well, I am in Tempe. AZ born and bred. I moved around in my twenties. But I still call this state home. Hope you enjoy it here. The only tip I would offer is to make sure you respect the heat. This place can be savage when the heat of the summer is at an apex. If you don't respect it, it can kill you. When it is really hot outside, don't hike, don't run, don't exert yourself without a quick exit and water. Stay safe!
Enjoy your peace and serenity, Tucker. Trust me trust me just sit back relax, look around and say to yourself “oh yeah baby”. I’m 53, been watching you for several years from back when I got injured and was off work like back when you first started. Have 4 grown kids and looking at what you’ve built for yourself there, all alone is like a dream. I could live like that and be so dang happy happy, baby! Don’t get me wrong, family, kids are the best in the world but I’m speaking as a 53 yr old who’s been married for almost 30 yrs and raised a family. Now that kids are gone life is a wee bit different and let’s just say I really appreciate what you have going there and I’m secretly living vicariously through these glimpses you provide. Fantastic job you’ve done Rucker building your brand and actually really growing up. I remember when you lived at home with your folks so fantastic job young man, your parents must be so proud.
Take care, VB Gresham, Oregon
Audio is, spot on! Safe flights
Good on you for talking about the difficult things in your life. Embracing change to combat the difficulties is healthy.
Nice house, Tucker. Well done. Plenty of space for all the toys. Thanks for the tour and update. Take care man and fly safe.
So lovely to see your new place. Glad you are doing more of the jumping and flying without all the hassels. Been loving your channel for a long long time. Have a great week Tucker!
Hello Tucker, I’m glad you’re having another wonderful adventure out west. I lived and worked in Arizona for 15 years. I think you are wonderful and wish you the best.
Welcome to San Tan Valley. I live 43 miles northwest of you. Happy Flying... 🌵🌵🌵🤠
Grew up in AZ, got my license from Sawyer Aviation back when it was located at Sky Harbor. Your clip flying along the canal reminded me of our South Mountain practice field. We would practice emergency landings in 152's on the canal banks/maintenance roads...it was awesome! Miss Glendale and Flagstaff, enjoy man!
Thanks Tucker, you inspired me to get into the sport at age 59. Just got my PPG2 rating and loving it!
Heck yeah, congratulations!
Same here. I got training in October 2022. 57 now. While other TH-camrs like to show off extreme, stunt flying and stuff, Tucker keeps it real. Yes, he does some wingovers and expert stuff, but he spends a lot of time just casually flying and talking. The flying itself is the thrill. Not everyone is looking to push the envelope. Tucker is also an old soul. He is balanced and has wisdom beyond his years. Enjoy Arizona! I am in Florida but trained in Vegas and go to the desert every chance I get.
I was 63. It changed my life!
So cool and funny at the same time, many things in my life paralleling yours, although I am half a century older. Thanks for all the smiles.
Tuck, I'm enthralled by your openness and transparency! Thank you for showing us a little private side. I have always wanted to paramotor but too afraid of wing collapses. I feel like we are friends by what you shared. Blessings to you sir!
Vulnerable is a good look on you. Way to grow dude!
What gets me, is that you’re extremely handsome and you don’t expect that you’re going to get these 10 out of 10 girls and not running into some heartbreak? You yourself are the perfect 10. Have a lot more confidence in yourself. You are honestly a walking and talking 16 point buck. If there was one. Forget the frayed relationship. Now is now. And “Tuckers on Top right now!”
You do some of the most insane stuff in the world. I don’t think I would ever try your sport. Keep your head held high. Glad things are going well for you, and you aren’t limiting yourself to just one place.
Hey Mr. T! The first time I ever saw one of your videos it was during the van life series, and you were flying from just outside of Sedona Arizona, up to the rocks and back. I think I’ve seen everyone twice since then! I used to live in Sedona back in the 70s before you existed and it was beautiful there as well. I’m glad your new digs are setting in good with you and that you have the opportunity to visit the beautiful locations in the west without having to make a two week long journey to get her done. Great great video here. Looking forward to the next. Have a great day.
What I would give to be young and able again young man , I told my youngest son sometimes in my dreams I fly , over the year's, I was Abel to somewhat control myself from falling in my dreams , flown in a air plain about 4 years ago for the first time and it was beautiful and amazing Tucker!!!!! THANKS for the rides with you from my living room!
Hi Tucker, caught you on Anthony Vellas' #001 Pod cast. You both are extremely inspirational, good job! I have been watching your videos and I am very impressed with your logical safety approach to this sport. I have been itching to get into the sport lately. However, I do see to many items that are safety concerns. Now after seeing all the new products like Electric Paramotors, and fuel injected paramotors, I have not seen anything NEW or even mentioned about new Safety products, or systems? I think that is the area that needs to be focused on now. I think that is what this sport needs. And now is the time to focus on that area of this sport. Using Anthonys' Accident, and others that you have investigated leaves you in the perfect position to investigate Possible NEW Safety systems. With more people getting into this sport, this is the area that needs a light focused on it.
Welcome to AZ! I moved to Tempe, AZ from Ohio in ‘09 and haven’t looked back, absolutely love it! House looks great!
I am in awe of you. Your videos are beautifully edited and your narration is very natural. Thanks for sharing thses videos. natural
Wow, thank you!
Welcome to the neighborhood! Been here for three years now from Cleveland.
Tucker you are grieving and changing. Arizona is the world's best place to do that. It's very laid back. It's very easy to find absolute solitude.
Wow, 1.61 million subscribers. This guy probably makes a great living just from making flying videos! That's so cool!
Socialblade says he makes 1000$ a month, he gets 20000 daily views from old videos
Never forget how rare your life is tucker! The fact you don't work a 9-5 is very fortunate
I’ve got desert plants in my yard and I’ve never used my irrigation and the plants do great! You’ve flown out of here right next to my subdivision.
Man! Open and honest... as always! I left my hometown when I was 19, 56 now and although home will always call me, I now hear all the other places calling just as clearly! Love is gonna find you Tucker. Hang in there! Your neighbors ain't ready for a single and financially independent single dude. You make them very jealous! Love the new house! Oludeniz man, reward yourself with a summer adventure!
You are doing well, and thanks for sharing your life and home. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. It would be nice to meet you one day. If you ever think of visiting Edmonton Canada let me know here.
Glad to see you doing so well and enjoying your life. Thanks for letting us know!
DUUUUUDE! I live fairly close to that area! Welcome to AZ! That's so cool to have you here, I hope you find lots of adventures to get into. I hope I see you flying over one day!
John McAfee used to paramotor the west side of the Santa Catalinas in Oro Valley. Pretty sure it’s not legal but so cool!
Glad you're enjoying the move. When some ppl mow their grass before 8 am, an evening paramotor ride shouldn't bother anyone, but I get you.
lol @ "absolutely no magic happening here" . Welcome to AZ Tucker, we'll be keeping an eye on the sky for you. FYI, winds tend to calm down later in summer. It's just been extra breezy this year.
Folks, 'Arizona' isn't just 'Phoenix'. We're in Southeastern Arizona - within sight of Mexico - and we are fully in our monsoon season. Search 'Arizona monsoon' images. Afternoon storms bring the temps from the 90s to sometimes mid-60s to low 80s (and low humidity).
We're cooler than most places in the south, and mountains and views everywhere. Tombstone is 15 minutes away, and there's even one of the country's few rivers that flow from south to north...
Man, I hope your neighbors are honored to be able to see you and your paramotor! Nice new Helmet! We traded places, I discovered you during the Pandemic when I was in Santa Rita/Vail Arizona living in a neighborhood that looks just like the one you lived in. Now I live in Philly and I am still a fan watching!! I can't wait for your Arizona and lower Utah adventures. I know some spectacular places that are amazing visually. Sedona for sure, but a lesser known place is Page, Az where Horseshoe Bend is. (**Update- I have since realized you have already done this and the video was everything I'd hoped for and more!!**) Also, I have always wanted to see Grand Staircase monument and it seems like it would be a great place to really recharge. But just so you know, most of the time I was in Arizona, I went through what you are feeling right now. Also, being from back East, your brain is wired to appreciate green everywhere as a beauty standard. It is a shock to your senses not to see that everywhere. Nobody says you have to stay in Az. forever. When you get Homesick, drive back East!
Glad to see you doing so well, Tucker, even as you're working through the pain of a relationship that didn't work out.
If you're looking to meet a great lady, please let me give you some advice that's worked for me; join a church! A lot of girls at church have good values and are family oriented, so the odds are better that they're not just playing games. Also, people at church are generally interested in sharing life with others, so it's a good community to be part of.
Thanks for all the great content!
I love the new place. Sounds like you’re doing well. If any of your friends need a 43 foot toyhauler a 2020 pre-pandemic model let me know as mine is for sale. The bed in the garage goes very high so it has room for a hoop of a powered parachute.
You'll be fine...you have the same 'stick lights' I have in my bachelor pad. Keep cranking with your channel, be safe with your flying adventures, keep growing those muscles and...like you do with your paramotors...seek out a few 'oil change' opportunities. All you need is an oil change for the time being...you'll eventually find a Ms. Mechanic.
You are getting things done and staying after that wonderful life! Keep on keeping on! Be grateful, positive and thoughtful, those characteristics have real benefits! Love Laugh Live!!!
The new house looks sweet! And pristine as well. Hard to believe it's been 6 months already. Nice personal touch to do this particular video. Cheers!
I was single for 30 years, and now married for 35. I can remember all too well being a young adult in Tucson and SoCal, working as a chronically unfulfilled EE in high tech. If I'd known all the great things that would happen in the future, I wouldn't have despaired so often.
Glad you’re loving Arizona. Arizona has it all.
Damn Tucker that place is nice. Congratulations I’m happy for you brother. You deserve it man you are such an awesome person. Thank you for always sharing your life with us. I can’t wait for the road trip videos.
Glad to see you are doing great! Keep soaring to new heights!
Thanks for the tour and the sightseeing flight. You've got some pretty cool digs. The Southwest heat is no joke though. It's cliche to say "when one door closes, another opens", but the key sometimes is to close that first door and embrace what's through the new one. We look forward to some really cool trips, stories, news, and updates. Wish the best of life for you.
Tucker, your House Tour video was great. We fly out, have a look at the 'hood and then we hang with you. Your tour was so relaxed and very relatable. You have relaxed so much in this sort of presentation that it was fun. I like your house. One can get too much decoration but time will tell. I built my house 41 years ago and I have accumulated SO much clutter. Doesn't matter, but I would dread moving. Thanks for inviting us to your place. It was interesting and real fun.
I’m 30 with 3 kids and Tucker Gott convinced me to start flying planes, skydiving, and paramotor. Thanks for your McDonald’s video buddy, I love my Parajet Maverick 🎉❤. Nothing like the rush of jumping out of an airplane though. I’m not ready for a BASE jump yet but I do want to jump out of a balloon. I love you buddy ❤️ don’t stress about a b!tch. She will never get you where you’re going brother 🆙 ⬆️ you will find the right person of the right caliber at the right time, just keep pushing forward and stay true to yourself ❤ you got this 🎊
Glad you made the move from NJ!! Enjoy!!
Happy for you señor!!! New House, New Life!!!😊
Hey Tucker: Great video(s). Transparent. Honest...A sign of internal strength...I Love vicariously living through your adventures and learning (or relearning) risk management perspectives as a long-time pilot, myself! I see the "younger me" in the spirit and excitement of your videos! Perfectly healthy to process life the way you are doing it. Impressive. I encourage you to try not to second guess yourself and hang onto too many regrets! Life is always changing and challenging, and resiliency and adaptability are the keys to navigating this life. Forgiving ourselves for past decisions and mistakes is essential to embracing the present and future. Life can be very good, as you know...I am a hang glider pilot of 50 years, paraglider pilot for 4. I am a retired school/clinical social worker and have been a therapist for 6 years - part time - gotta leave room for flying, kayaking, hiking, etc! Anyway, (please excuse the therapist/pilot in me) perhaps it would be a good thing to check in with a local counselor/therapist for e few sessions to process your past few years a bit as well as the exciting new changes in your life? Sometimes that helps us "move on" emotionally and psychologically, get "unstuck", and free us up "more fully" to once again experience all our adventures, friendships, flying, sunsets, etc. and "reconnect" our spirit and soul with our surroundings and environment and current relationships. Fly Safe! Fly Well! Fly as long as you can! We are a privileged few who get to do what we do! Feel free to contact me outside of this, as well! -Dave
Tucker just needs a little time for his roots to spread out and dig in to the new area. He is on the right path
The liberty a MAN can enjoy when he lets go of the 'ball and chain" his mother told him to wear is amazing. I am glad to see you enjoying the fruits of your labor and the liberty of good choices. Get a vasectomy if you have not already and enjoy life. There will be plenty of time to have a family after you have grown up and understand the world better. Time does that no matter what you know now.
cheers .
Those vibe lights are really something. I recently started using smart lights on a timer to wake me up (instead of just an alarm clock) and its a game changer. I think your interior design is really good.
I've been watching you brother for at least 3 to 4 years. I've lived in the shadow of the Superstition Mountains most of my life. Tucker I have a place on 16th st and Idaho. It has a rv gate. Its.a great place to stade a pre flight .
For a bunch of people at once
South West corner
Tucker, It’s great to have you here in AZ.
You've carved out a really nice life and lifestyle. The gaps will fill in. No need to rush anything. just keep living your best life and the pieces will come together. Thanks for sharing.
Tucker, a lot of us go thru periods of our lives where we are or were mentally “walking wounded”. Regret is a terrible thing to live with, especially since the things we tend to regret the most are the things we didn’t do rather than the things we did.
My heartfelt advice is for you to love yourself enough and show yourself enough Grace to forgive your mistakes with time for healing. It is said that it takes as long to get over a relationship as you were in it but I found that isn’t necessarily the case-it takes until you are ready to allow yourself to be Human and suffer that part of the Human experience.
The only thing more tragic than a relationship breaking because one person isn’t happy is when the other person is broken. I hope you heal soon.
Beautiful home, thanks for sharing! You are so far ahead in life than most men your age. Keep up the good work and videos.
You have a nice house
I am seriously considering this sport at 60+ years. I missed the boat for my privet pilot but I had fun as an A&P for many years doing ground loops with The CRJ200, B99 and C208's and a bunch of puddle jumpers. I getting the itch to get in the air.
Hey Tucker... Your mind is in the right place...it just takes time to heal. Keep flying, stay humble and enjoy the sunsets.
Tucker! The most eligible bachelor in the country! Enjoy the freedom though really! I just bought a place in Turkey to be close to flying action. Now I can take a bus to the foot of a mountain, hike / ride up, fly, then be home for dinner. Sure beats back in Canada where it's a day trip to get anywhere to fly at all. Not sure what the paramotoring scene is in Türkiye where I'm at, need to look into that ;) Thanks for the update!
😢 Miss you too dude!! You could always stop by NJ on your road trip. 🙂 Everything is very green! The house is lookin great man!
If Josh doesn’t have a Josh fest this year, I may have to steal the name and host the first annual Tucker fest at jersey shore. 😉
@@TuckerGott Let’s GOOoo!!!!!
Awsome. Makes me jealous of you home it’s perfect! Look forward to more.
Take care and safe flights.
Stay with that gratitude thing each time you hear your base jumping chute pop open. One of those little things that make a big difference.
Welcome to Arizona, my home state! I’ve given lots of thought to saving up and getting into paramotoring instead of funneling all my spare cash just into motorcycling. Knowing there’s likely to be a community in state is even better motivation
Congrats on the new house, and thank you for the house tour! Arizona seems super interesting, am looking forward to more desert life content. Please keep up the excellent work, and best regards from Brasilia, Brazil.
Thanks, Tucker … always good stuff.♥
nice House and setup...thank you for taking us through your personal domain :) for your walls....I'm sure you have plenty of photos of yourself up in the sky to put up
So important to branch out, explore new things and areas. I have lived in the SW including NM, AZ, UT NV. CA. And loved Sea of Cortez Mexico. Yes, explore. So important.
hey im glad your fine your a strong dude
Put a fader on the switch for that bright chandelier in that dining area. It will tone down that light, no need to replace the whole fixture. Be safe, have fun.
We have the older model of your Genesis grill, it's about 15 years old and still looks new. Only things I had to replace were the igniter recently and I swapped out my old cast iron grates for some stainless ones. Hopefully it gives you many years of great grilling. 🐾🐾
Awesome crib!! Welcome out West. You have a lot of exploring in your future.
Hey brother, glad you are getting settled and comfortable in your new space. Anthony said the interview went well and looking forward to seeing it. I need to make it back to AZ again now that your out there to hopefully fly some sites with ya. Life has it's ups and downs and your right, you cannot run from the lows... your setting a great example of that. I've got some excellent content I listen to often to keep my mind in the right space - reach out if your interested. Keep up the great content.
Glad you're liking AZ! I grew up in Scottsdale and actually moved for similar reasons. It's super cool to see you in my hometown.
Glad to see you’ve settled in to your new house. Pretty cool that you can board down to your take off point. I first thought you were going to fly from there in front of your house. I’ve got a pic you could hang on one of your walls if you’d like. Looking forward to seeing more videos of your flying adventures. Thanks for sharing.
Grew up in Mesa and Queen creek.. Some must sees...South Mountain Park and Preserve, Havasupai Falls, 390th memorial museum/aircraft graveyard in Tucson, geoglyphs in Yuma, Blythe area. I solo'd in a super cub and the Superstitions were my favorite playground..I have some secret squirrel sites there that you might enjoy as well :) Great home tour, Arizona has heaps to offer.
A fresh start with fresh goals it's good especially when you're this young I've done it a few times myself. It gets harder when you get older especially when you accumulate a lot of stuff like a family.
Beautiful place glad to see you shine
4 stroke motor i cant wait to see the video on that tucker
i wonder how much heveryer it is compared to the 2stroke one and noise level would be good form the 4stroke
cant wait mate
Quattro?
@@chuckaeronut 4 stroke motor mate
@@nukenuked5749 Yes indeed, it's called the Quattro, and I have one.
Art wise maybe have a still from a video of the more enjoyable areas you've flown. Can have those made at Costco for a fair price. Nice place you have glad to see you are enjoying it.. Might consider taking a few from HOA on a tandem flight not much in duration but still they might get the bug and be out with you.
Nice tour, Tucker! The house is pretty spacious and your one piece of art so far is stunning....how about some warm light grays and lavenders for the walls? You could take some cues from the beautiful tones that hit the desert mountains at sunset and sunrise, also.
Hope the HOA experience stays positive for you...have heard horror stories of people in Fla not even able to park pickups in their driveways! Ridiculous!
Moved to AZ? Wow! I’m an AZ native who more recently lived in NJ for 8 years, but I’m back in AZ. Funny, saw some paramotors flying up around Rye and also off the US60 east of Gold Canyon recently and thought of you. Guessing now it could have been you. Not the most fun place to fly in the summer. I remember the turbulence when leaning to fly my grandfather’s Cessna. Not sure how that affects a paramotor though. Welcome and enjoy the AZ skys!!
It's awesome to see you out west Tucker. If you head south towards Benson again where it is about 20 degrees cooler than Phx, it would be awesome to you out buzzing around.
Fly off of Mingus mountain....in Northern Arizona....your something like 4000 feet in the air when you go off the side of Mingus mountain....
Great house! Glad you are enjoying it!
Glad you are enjoying the new place. Looks awesome!
Hey, I have always loved your designs for your shirts! My favorite so far was the desert landscape in the goggles, but I have never gotten one of them. The reason being I'm a paraglider guy not a paramotor guy. Is there any chance of you doing a more general free flight design? Something that paraglider, paramotor, and maybe even hang glider pilots could all enjoy?
I would like to see that too, maybe something like a wing viewed front on with different landscapes through the lines
@@DblDg1252 that would be super cool! Like you're looking at a wing front on and through the lines you see a desert, a beach, mountains, and flatlands. I would totally buy that
Hope you find some more inner happiness with time brother, been a long time followers since you used to vacation out here at Goldfield Ghosttown by the superstition Mountains.
