Same here! I haven't started any lessons yet but I'm researching a lot about class locations and gear and costs and stuff. Hoping to be up in the air within a year or so!
Update: I finished a 1-week paragliding training on vacation in Poland. Unreal. I had been focusing on (electric) PPG, but I realized that I had dismissed unpowered flight too quickly. Oh, also flew a PPG tandem trike but unpowered leg launch was WAY more rewarding.
This is an amazing day. It was really the Wings Over Winter experience I was hoping for as I counted down the days toward the event. I tried your scout, a freeride 19m, had an awesome sunset flight, wing tip bumped you, etc. Good times. LOL, I just got to the end where Jaclyn and I were talking about you.
Woody , I just came to Tucks channel and just heard that Jacqueline and Tuck arent what is portrayed but part of the narrative for the Van trip ... Thats fine .. We still love Tuck whoever he loves....Are you, Woody , Tucks partner or another guy? Just wondering..
Love the different styles of everyone that launches, the guy from aviator launches very rigid and bolt upright like id imagine they teach their students, you are more relaxed looking and abit like its effortless, great video 👍🏼
The intro on this video was very funny, actually the whole video is very good. Lots of talent (from the flying, photography, commentary, to the editing). Nice sense of humor.
I'm convinced you are on a different level of skill than all these other guys. You can see it on how they launch and land compared to you. Also in the other video where you said the stalls were uneventful but another dude had to throw a reserve; that wasn't luck my dude, you're just a natural at this shit.
Tucker, if you're in the Daytona area it's a bit sketch to sleep in the van in some areas. Park in Port Orange, there's a Wal-Mart not far from the beach. Also, there's a lot of small air traffic in the area at low altitudes and they routinely have beach billboard planes fly the beach. If you're buzzing around, head south to New Smyrna beach which is the "shark bite capital of the world", so you can say you flew over shark infested waters! Safe flying!
Just discovered your channel. I have a private pilots license and I'm a skydiver, I always find it neat how some people are naturally good on camera. I turn on the camera and have no idea what to say about anything. Nice vids.
Glad you didn't get hurt Jaclyn! LOL! The ending is hilarious! "No idea, has everybody fooled!" Glad you're having fun Tucker, it's too friggin cold here to fly! I woke up to ZERO degrees today!
Hey Tucker, if you're still in Florida at the end of January you should check out the SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket launch from Kennedy Space Center. Most powerful rocket since the moon rockets 40 years ago
There's got to be a Gary Larson "Far Side" cartoon in here somewhere. "Welcome to the Para-Olympics. We're pleased to add para motor to the lineup and welcome disabled para motor wonder, Tucker Gott, the only person in the sport to do his take-offs and landing with two artificial feet, ever since that unfortunate run in with an alligator while skimming a Florida pond." :>
Very nice vid. Flying at night would be beautiful but a little unnerving at the same time. Personally, if I were on this journey, I'd stay at a motel once in a while to chill out and get my shit together, but I wouldn't tell anyone I did it. Haha
One day, a gator is going to snap down on someones foot dragging leg. There are plenty of gators in Florida ponds. On a side note, one might think about opening a door for a lady sometime getting into the van. They really appreciate the effort.
It's probably too late, but if you're going to Daytona Beach, it'd be worth flying around Edgewater since Ponce Inlet's lighthouse and the river just south of Ponce Inlet are Class D airspace in New Smyrna Airport's control. The hurricane did some minor damage to docks and threw sailboats up on shore. It'd be interesting if you were to swoop by that. I think It'd be great content for your viewers. There's always tons of dolphin in the channel too. Well worth checking out!
You can also stop at any truck stop pilot or Flying J, or Petro or TA or Loves Tucker! If you sign up for the membership as long as you fuel their you get free points... Maybe that's only for truckers but there might be something for you guys?
I could hear your foot drag on your last powered off turn sweet. And I noticed you say RAD every once and a while and I want to thank you for that cause my kids always say DAD no one says that anymore. I tell yes they do because I do and now they know that there are at least two people that say it but you're young and cool so I guess that is what sold it. I'm old apparently at 42 but when you have 4 teenagers that's what you get.👍🏻🖖
Two things! 1) Those low low drag landings look like you could rip your kneecaps off way too easily XD 2) Florida is ugly in January; flying around your homeland is much prettier but admittedly too cold at this point! Keep on keepin' on!
First bro rule is "no crossing swords" and especially no "touching tips" and gleefully chuckling about it! Hahaha great footage. Please sell the van for a cheap motor home for your girls sake!
Hey! We have a Which Wich out here in California! (I don't go there. We also have a spectacular custom sandwich shop, that has been in business since the 60's, and is better than any I've ever been to)
@rolloverridepgr A trucker friend of mine introduced me to truck stops in California. My mind was blown! It's like they have everything there you could possibly imagine. I never used the showers, but I did some shopping and had some good meals.
Flyboy BC only some of the big city ones and 4 wheelers don't have to worry unless they actually ask for their services as the coin operated girl friends work the truck lot, not the front lot where they are seen easier. The drugs not so much any more unless you are talking about the cops that use the CB to catch them as they do at the West Memphis pit holes or OK,OK, Atlanta, Dallas and other areas They are the morons blatantly trying to sell to catch drivers that make us look bad on the CB. Hell, he lives close to several stops so is he in danger? A blanket warning does not apply any more. In fact, I'm shut down at the Petro in Shreveport and no girls walking the lot or on the CB nor have I heard the first drug sale. Now 3 guys selling CBs, 1 a 17" TV and a woman selling home made Afghans yeah, so your warning pretty much bites the big one! This is the new age of trucking. Things are changing but your warning is actually a waste of bandwidth as Tucker doesn't need a lot lizard or the drugs both of which you have to go find anyway as neither just magically appear in your truck. You have to go find then. Well the lizzards do have walk up services as in door to door sales! Oh crime? You can find that anywhere, even your own home so..... Blue Sky's and Safe Journeys!
Captain Jack They are a home away from home! Everything you need except for shampoo are in the showers. Soap, towels, washcloth and more hot water that you can use, with a toilet and sink. I have a 50 gallon water heater at home and I have to limit my water useage after 2 weeks out as I do get squeaky clean and can run that 50 out easily! Blue Sky's and Safe Journeys!
Some people just have a resting bitch face. I have one. My relaxation expression looks angry lol. I don't like fake smiling and i guess she might be similar. Who knows?
"Hey man, I don't Care What Side of The Kinsey Scale Your On...As Far As I'm Concerned...Your Altimeter is Still at 29.92...I'm Going to Keep Watching!!!!" -Another Great Video By The Way!!!!
I am taking lessons now in Texas. I am chomping at the bit! You will be a servant to the weather, so stay patient.... Cheers and stay safe. One Sky, brother...
Show of hands who's been inspired to start lessons thanks to Tucker and his vids. One here.
i lol
Same here! I haven't started any lessons yet but I'm researching a lot about class locations and gear and costs and stuff. Hoping to be up in the air within a year or so!
Got inspired just before I found Tucker's channel but I've now signed up for lessons next month :-) These videos sure help!
Not me. I’ll just watch.
Update: I finished a 1-week paragliding training on vacation in Poland. Unreal. I had been focusing on (electric) PPG, but I realized that I had dismissed unpowered flight too quickly. Oh, also flew a PPG tandem trike but unpowered leg launch was WAY more rewarding.
the opening up to 30 sec was sooo sick!! great drone flying skills and the palm tree to car was brilliant.
This is an amazing day. It was really the Wings Over Winter experience I was hoping for as I counted down the days toward the event. I tried your scout, a freeride 19m, had an awesome sunset flight, wing tip bumped you, etc. Good times.
LOL, I just got to the end where Jaclyn and I were talking about you.
hi
Tucker loves Wood. E.
WoodysGamertag you look 100 Times sexier with the Scout!! Lol
Nice ending Woody - glad to have found tucker's channel through your recommendation
Woody , I just came to Tucks channel and just heard that Jacqueline and Tuck arent what is portrayed but part of the narrative for the Van trip ... Thats fine .. We still love Tuck whoever he loves....Are you, Woody , Tucks partner or another guy? Just wondering..
OMG THAT SMOOTH TRANSITION AT 0:27
+J2D2 Pretty great, right?!?
Oh yeah! Love your videos btw :D
Dude your cinematography is on point!
Thank you for making a video with Woody in it. You two are my favorite guys on TH-cam.
My 2 favorite TH-camrs Tucker and Woody don't get any better than that!
Tucker love it thanks for giving us as a community something to watch better than anything on TV!
"that eye contact when you touch tips" -Tucker gott
The ending sealed the deal
I lulled. Nnice.
My sides hurt. Lol
@@JudsonGraham The last 5 seconds at 15:35 told the secret ..told all...yup too much tip touching
@@JudsonGraham For sure ...Fooled us big time
15:36 doh... Ahahhaha. Best moment in one of your videos ever.
That was a joke right?
Nope. Absolutely serious.
it's all that tip touching.... ;->
So he's up for grabs? ! Yes!
wait. Really??? he is gay??????????? lol
Love the different styles of everyone that launches, the guy from aviator launches very rigid and bolt upright like id imagine they teach their students, you are more relaxed looking and abit like its effortless, great video 👍🏼
Please put some kind of metal on your boots and do a sparky foot drag
there are sparking knee sliders for bikers and yes - he definitely should do it.
D C awww, if you're not living life on the edge, you are taking up too much space.
See3y

Tucker Jaclyn almost did a face plant at the start of your video and you didn't comment on it......
Have a nice trip, see you next fall! :P
I thought Jaclyn was going to take a big face plant coming out of the Van. glad you didn’t get hurt Jaclyn
ExRE_Sapper I saw that too
Haha I just posted the same thing before reading the comments.. Oh well
ALMOST... I think he did some editing, and she did face plant! Thats my opinion anyway.
Don’t worry Jaclyn, No one saw..
So cute, at least she was just as amused by it.
Yeah only 125,000 people
Nope, I Didn't See Jaclyn Trip Out Of The Van... Nope... Not At All.
the ending is priceless!
Peter Matthess it was dope and Rad !!
Tuck gave his love emblem as he knows you now know ... Im ok with it .. I love the guy anyway
The intro on this video was very funny, actually the whole video is very good. Lots of talent (from the flying, photography, commentary, to the editing). Nice sense of humor.

Wonder if you can share your jazz playlist, thanks!!!
The scout launch run is pretty funny, with the arched back. The bearded guy was the best (funniest).
Just discovered your channel. I have a private pilots license and I'm a skydiver, I always find it neat how some people are naturally good on camera. I turn on the camera and have no idea what to say about anything.
Nice vids.
I Am Inspired.thanks Tucker
Glad you didn't get hurt Jaclyn! LOL! The ending is hilarious! "No idea, has everybody fooled!" Glad you're having fun Tucker, it's too friggin cold here to fly! I woke up to ZERO degrees today!
9:23 - You don't have to worry about the gators you can see. You have to worry about the ones you can't see. lol
“That eye contact when you touch tips” indeed...
You`re so good people ! This is The Most icredible thing I`ve ever seen ! Humanity was tryed to fly over the centuries, and now it`s just so easy !!!
Hey Tucker, if you're still in Florida at the end of January you should check out the SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket launch from Kennedy Space Center. Most powerful rocket since the moon rockets 40 years ago
Thanks for another dose of awesomeness Monsieur Gott....
I like how you start the episodes with drone footage, it like brings flying into the forefront imeadiatley, ya know
Yeah that hook was dope. Really cool to watch!
"that eye contact when you touch tips" 😂😆😆
It's amazing how personal flying machines can be a normal thing now
You my friend are talented and very cool. Really admire the way you film while flying and talk & vlog all in one.
Haha woody at the end. #plot-twist
Just found your channel today and I love it!!
Yeah this guy is killing it!
Woody wanted that tip touch too bad. LMAO Way to draw attention away from it with the "he's gay" bit Woody.
palm tree to car scene for the win! great edit.
This cinematography rivals Casey’s, keep these coming bro
Just do a video where all you do is follow Jaclyn around all day. We would be up for that.
Great views from up there. Great landing. Thanks for sharing.
Already showing 2018 is gonna be a great year! Thanks for sharing your adventures.
There's got to be a Gary Larson "Far Side" cartoon in here somewhere. "Welcome to the Para-Olympics.

I am D Haught as well and am signed up with Aviator in late summer inspired by Tucker and 64 years young!!
Foot dragging in florida ponds is a good way of fishing for gators 😂 🐊🐊
Love that I grew up right near there so now I'll be getting my own paramotor
Take this over the Grand Canyon!!
Prohibited, I guess :(
Or somewhere like New Mexico where you can cruise over mountains and such. That would be so cool.
Watch his Icarus Race vids. I think he was over a small part of it, but mind-blowing landscapes throughout.
Illegal without special authorization which is impossible to get.
Falling out was the best part.
You should make a bloopers video lol that trip out of the van... priceless great video man
I’m sorry, but that was real funny when she came out the van . Lol 😂. I’m sorry hope It didn’t hurt
Amazing start
wasn't expecting to see the avon park street sign you guys were right in my backyard
Just wanna lyk we notice those dope cuts like when you changed from the rc crashing to the car on the road
you're right, having a shower everyday *is* pretty rad
Very nice vid. Flying at night would be beautiful but a little unnerving at the same time.
Personally, if I were on this journey, I'd stay at a motel once in a while to chill out and get my shit together, but I wouldn't tell anyone I did it. Haha

Can’t wait to see you guys visit Siesta key beach, and fly to it from the scenic highway.
Everyone knows this romance is all about coffee.
love it. Woody with the last laugh. lol
Tucker, you know the AZ flying circus is in February! The shenannigans are strong with that one.
I like this date that you have chosen.
You know you're going to have to live in a van down by the river at some point on this trip right?;) Keep the vids coming, really enjoying it!
Tucker, you should try to foot drag someone’s head at the beach and knock their floppy bucket hat off! That’d be so rad!
Dude your videos are so entertaining and such an inspiration😄😄
I just bought my Scout 185 factory I'm hyped !!!
Congrats man! You have all the reason to be super excited :)
"That eye contact when you touch tips" XD
The eye contact when you touch tips? 2 guys touching tips? LoL
yooooo I had to go back 50 times to keep watching her almost eat shit 😂😂 nailed it👌🏻😂
Wish I could meet you in Daytona. Your videos got me hooked on the sport.
Florida's a tropical wasteland. Born and lived there for 20+ years. Couldn't wait to leave.
It's probably too late, but if you're going to Daytona Beach, it'd be worth flying around Edgewater since Ponce Inlet's lighthouse and the river just south of Ponce Inlet are Class D airspace in New Smyrna Airport's control.

Greg Rice Im from daytona beach would be cool
I grew up in Daytona/Port Orange and was just there for Christmas.
Can’t wait to see u fly the 280
That eye contact!
When its sunset time you should just chill lokking at the view with some food
You should do this stuff with the blue angles I love you're videos keep it up
This is amazing 🔥❤️
I wanna buy one soooo bad
Earn it ya’all - I’m scrapping extra cash so I can buy one.
Brian V how much does it costs
Is it legal on Chile I wonder?
Let's Do Impossible Late reply, but they can cost anywhere from 400 dollars to multiple thousand.
Spotlizard 03 thank you
Great videos as always!

Awesome every single time
I wish I was there. Amazing videos dude!
So, you fly miniquads too! That was nice flying there man!
Man, you have way too much fun with the Para motor! The 180 hook turn over water was sick!
lol, You're both full of jokes.
Love it
I'm surprised you didn't have Mark Honeycutt flying your Scout. It would be great to see his reaction jumping off his Blackhawk onto your Scout.
First bro rule is "no crossing swords" and especially no "touching tips" and gleefully chuckling about it! Hahaha great footage. Please sell the van for a cheap motor home for your girls sake!
Dude, you are having too much fun. I enjoyed this vid. Stay cool.
awwww yeah tucker gott
What's the best thing you've eaten on the road?
I'd love to see Tucker do quick little restaurant reviews while he's out in the van
Squirrel mostly in tact, only a few hours old

Hey! We have a Which Wich out here in California! (I don't go there. We also have a spectacular custom sandwich shop, that has been in business since the 60's, and is better than any I've ever been to)
Make your way up to Utah. It’d be cool to do a meetup with other flyers in the area.
Truck stops have great showers.
And cheap hookers and drugs and crime. Stay CLEAR of truck stops!

touch tips.. lmfao.. i fell on the floor
Im 14 right now and i want to buy an para motor when im older because it is such a cool thing.
Jaclyn didn't smile once the entire video. Is she already tired of the van life?
Scott D. PPG You should tell her she would look better with a smile
No, that would be creepy.
Some people just dont like to smile all the time,that looks creepy and hurts your face too.
Some people just have a resting bitch face. I have one. My relaxation expression looks angry lol. I don't like fake smiling and i guess she might be similar. Who knows?
@@iant720 Nono. Never say that. Bad form.
God I can't wait till I'm out of college so I can afford to start paramotoring. It's a dream.
