Brake deflection prevents deflation! I hope you guys enjoyed this impromptu kiting lesson. A lot of people have been asking about the upcoming Risky Biscuits Co. summer merch drop and giveaway! The new designs are looking so sick! Stay tuned, it's going to be epic and one of you guys will have a shiny new carbon fiber paramotor as well as some top notch training. 😁 More details coming next week.

Jaclyn cracks me up 😂 good stuff, entertainment value ensured

Got my wing and motor on my birthday yesterday! Epic times, these. Thanks for the inspiration Tucker (and Jaclyn). Enjoy your weekend, both!

Arguably MY favorite video. Didn’t realize that a wing could experience a frontal collapse and that flying is very much a balancing act. Thank you!!

We have this saying in my other profession that comes to mind when discussing paraglider collapses. "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" Good on you and Jaclyn for practicing in stronger winds! Staying sharp is staying safe!

Cheers for the shout out dude, glad the video was useful! Have you guys tried the RoadRunner? It’s really fun in strong wind and saves your main wing

Scout Carbon and training?! : faints : Thanks for the lesson. Not just the wind and wang collapse tango, but also exercising caution not to fly when conditions are less than ideal.

You are a born instructor Tucker :) I've been flying for the past 31 years, I have 500 hrs in ultralights, 2,500 hr in fixed wing. Your videos inspire me to start a new challenge. I want to fly exactly what you have. I am trusting your knowledge and experience in flying paragliding and will continue to watch and learn from you. Thank you Tucker and Jacqueline for your awesome videos.

LOL anyone else also spit their coffee out when the bugs attacked Jaclyn? hahahahaha

Excellent demonstration aid! Thanks for the video.

I love your guys goofiness. You two are a great match and I love your videos keep them coming please.

Thoroughly enjoyed this video, even though you couldn’t fly. It fulfilled everything that your previous videos do. It entertained, informed and educated...fabulous. Take care both of you, and fly safe.

You two are so chill, I love it!

You always do a good job .....the technical applications of flying come natural to you and you are able to explain it to others very easily. Great job!!

Hey Tucker, thanks for all your videos and merch. My Risky Biscuits Heather slate T shirt was delivered on Friday after sitting in Sydney for nearly 3 months! It's funny 'cause you're wearing the exact design and colour in this video. Good to see you guys are out and about.

This helps a ton! any of your videos for newbies is greatly appreciated just bought my first wing just need too save for a motor

Really like your videos Tucker I like your information about the ppg sport and explained how too's. Thanks 🤙🤙😁

Great balance of education and entertainment. Had fun watching this. Thanks Tucker and Jacklyn, sorry about the spelling if I got it wrong Jacklyn..

Good stuff,I’m so hoping to get into this sport soon,love the low flying you do

The airfoil illustration was perfect!! Nicely articulated. Thanks.

Hey Tucker. A gust front hit me immediately as my feet came off the ground one evening last summer. Skies were clear, about 30min-1hr previous skies looked good and storms had dissipated. Gust front rocked my world, even though it was relatively mild gusting to only about 22mph. It was all about active flying. Love your videos. Thank you so much.

Good stuff. I like the occasional educational content. Thanks.

I’m sorry but the screaming was absolutely hilarious!

Interesting, instructional, entertaining. You nailed it again TG!!

Never seen this explained so clearly, thanks!

Me and my wife almost pissed ourselves when we heard Jacqueline scream due to the bug ! Epic ! She is so damn funny... should have a “Jacqueline bloopers” video

Flying over earth at thousands of feet... CHECK ✅ Tiny bug crawling up the arm... AAAHHHHHH! ❎

I really enjoy this kind of content. Even though I don’t fly (yet) I enjoy hearing about what it actually takes to do this.

This video is the real proof that new paramotors pilots need proper training. Great video for a perspective newcomer.

Very good collapse description, and the beetle squeaks confused the doggo.

Great explanation Tucker, Jacqueline had me cracking up. Take care you guys.

Your how to pack up your wing video was so helpful. So was this one and fun to watch too! You got me into paramtoring in May 2018 man and since I’ve had over 25 flights on my own equipment. Can’t wait to hopefully meet you and Jaclyn someday soon and fly! Maybe I’ll catch you guys in Florida for some beach cruising 😁🤙🏼

Thanks alot for this .Can't wait to get up after training

Loving the mechanics info! I know it's not instruction, but basic understanding of how a wing works is really cool!

Another great video. Thanks for sharing. If you ever want to fly in a Mooney let me know. Im local.

Aw Jac was bringing the kitty to the camera right before you closed. XD missed it!

Very informative and educational to people interested (seriously) in taking up the sport

That was really neat. Good video. Making the best out of a bad situation.

Really appreciate being mocked for asking a genuine question. Thanks Tucker.

Tucker, I've enjoyed your videos for years, especially your emphasis on safety and decision making. You do take risks, but I've always appreciated your tendency to highlight those risks for the viewers, as well as the steps you take to mitigate that risk where possible. I've never felt like you deceive the public by implying that aggressive maneuvering close to the ground is no big deal and something that a new pilot expect to perform right away, for example. I also respect your willingness to self-critique, own your mistakes, and embrace them as learning opportunities not only for yourself, but the wider audience. All good stuff! Which is why I find it awkward and painful to bring up a criticism. Both you and Jaclyn strap into wings on a sketchy wind day (that has already surprised you by not developing as forecast), without helmets. I think it's a reasonable "best practice" to never strap into a wing without a helmet on in general, but especially so on a stronger wind day. With no intention to fly, there have been lots of injuries and multiple deaths from those who attempted to practice kiting when the wind has surprised them, resulting in being dragged through obstacles/terrain not compatible with the human body, or ending up in the air by accident in conditions beyond their skill level or equipment capability. For those new to paragliding wings, it's hard to imagine just how much force can be generated by a wing caught in strong wind. You are an experienced and skilled pilot, and it's your own life. You are able to measure your risk in deciding to forgo the helmet for a kiting session as well as any other experienced pilot, but FAR better than a beginner. You are also an ambassador to the sport. Despite the "I'm not an instructor" disclaimer (which I fully support, BTW), your audience DOES look up to you as an example of a responsible pilot, and will probably emulate much of what they see if they decide to try this for themselves. I'm not demanding you wear a helmet, just like I don't demand you only fly in the safest possible way. I just ask that when you decide not to wear the helmet when strapped in, that you let the audience know that's not a safe choice for most of us.

Jaclyn is very entertaining! 👍😁👍 I love kiting my wing! Nice video.

Love your work TG (oh yeah - and Jac). 👍👍

Thanks for the great advice I've learned a lot It will help me the next time I go out and kite

Great video as always

Hey Tucker! Nice Video! I very like these content, please make more of them! In some time me and my wife will fly paramotor too and want to learn from the BEST - so from you ;-) Greetings from Germany to you and Jaclyn :-)))

Best description of active piloting I've seen on youtube

Good morning Tucker Gott! And Jaclyn!

Great topic for discussion!

Very informative, thanks! Could you please make a video about reserve wings? How they work, in which situations they can help you and when not etc.

Thanks for the explanation 👍🏻

Oh man y’all are so baked 😆 I love all your videos dude but this one was extra goofy and cracked me up.

Jaclyn screams, shatters the glass on every aircraft in the hangar. 😂🤣😂 I heard that echo!! 😁 Great vid, man - thanks! Good to see you're taking care of that diesel, too. 👍🍻

Great wing lesson thanks!

Epic prop for demonstrating how a wing responds.

Good info on a collapse and a stall! 👍👍👍💖

Always a hoot!...Jaclyn "doing stupid things" Educational video as well!

Really interesting. Ive flown Cessnas, but wing collapse is obviously not an issue with that. Love these videos!

Jaclyn is so funny 😅

Well explained! 👍👍

TG that cloud behind you demonstrated the frontal and brake very well ...

You’ll make an excellent instructor when that time comes 👍😊

Tucker, luv Jaclyn's goofiness. lol She so funny. . Got to sneak more of that in the video's. Gave me a good laugh. Great Video Thx for that demonstration.

I busted out laughing at that family photo XD

Kiting good. Thanks!

I see a Tucker Gott video so I watch & like. I'm a simple man.

Laughing so hard at the bug screaming 😂😂

Perfekt timing Trucker. After a short xc flight i sit here at the train station and have to wait an hour for the train. 👌

Jaqueline killed it in this vid. She made the content!

Really enjoyed👍🥰

BEST Hollywood screams! Jaclyn, you should record & sell them to the studios. Tucker, reserve your CyberTruck today.... Less maintenance (just an occasional cabin filter & tires)!!

Lmao@ Jaclyn

This wind was probably yesterday or Thursday. Time goes so fast I forget what day it was, but it hit us in PA. I know you guys aren't too far, I've seen you so I won't disclose location but y'all are pretty close to me. The other day there was something definitely in PA/NJ. It shook the entire house, it was blowing my window so hard I ducked down in-case it was going to shatter. I swear you could have felt the air pressure outside change the air pressure inside and your whole body reacted. It was like a jet engine in my window for 5 seconds and then everything levitated. I was working and quickly messaged me team and was going to run for it because there was no way this house was standing. I thought it was going to be the end of time... definitely some wind issues with the thunder.

Nice i do that with my BGD SEED 😊,THANK YOU

Tucker, where can I find the strobe you wear on your head?? Thx! Keep up the great content.

Who sits like that? Jaqueline is like me... 🤣 she’s so funny. Thanks for the video Tucker I found it educational. Definitely something I will need to practice when I get Paramotor training.

thanks Tuck, 4 the vid. If we were to apply a bit of trim, would that help the leading edge sit more back in the wind to help prevent collapsing? thanks

This is good content! =) Tucker you need to change your bleep from the 'duck/goose' sound bite to Ms Jaclyn squeal! =D

I love the 3 meter trainer kites. Typical for kite boarding is a 1 or 2 meter...but the 3m is fun af.

A little brake also helps lessen asymmetrical collapses as well.

Question. When fully trimmed out on xc flight with reflex profile wing, how can you do active piloting if you only using tip steering?

Tucker, is this subject to design of the wing any? When kiting my charger I can completely let go of the brakes and it won't surge forward and have a frontal like that.

GREAT Video! Just curious what were the winds during this video?

Aww joclin looks extra cute there in this video uguys do great videos looks very nice on big 4k tv these flight videos

Alright mate im looking into this hobbie what sort of paramotor would you recommend i watched your video on the cheap ones you test flew and said there bot very stable in the air what would you recomend mate for a beginner thanks

Very interesting video ♥♥! As a fellow KZfaqr, I am on the lookout for creative ideas! Nice Job!

You know you're early when there's 290 views and no dislikes

class vid as always..I definitely prefer active Piloting over open trims..just in my head i feel safer..just a daft 1 though...if they could create stiff lines and an inflated wing..why wouldnt it work..if possible to build then it would work...would it not???

So would keeping the throttle up a little also help keeping a collapse from happening?

Jaclyn's snark!

What is with all the green June bugs this year. Your wing color looks great.

A very good video. Glad you didn't scrap it... PS, not sure if you ever watched Big Bang, but you did a good job of feeding the chocolate to Penny... ( With the ice cream) Anyone who watches the show knows what I mean...

Thank you Tucker I just got a wing

Hey Tucker, what's your take on the Ozone Roadrunner for ground handling practice?

So does using the speed bar lead to a higher chance of a collapse? Doesn't faster mean less pitch? Thanks for the videos!

Question...... how does “trim” affect the stall process ?... thanks Not a ppg flyer

Hey Tucker - How does that relate to trimmers to mid-point (where you can still use the breaks... what changes then?) And how does it apply to trimmers fully open where the breaks may not be used but instead the wing tip controls shall on a Roadster 3 for example? Greetings

Nice vid Tucker. What was the Windy predicting for wind speeds? Did this take you totally by surprise or was it touch and go flying conditions on the app? Would love a video on how you do your analysis on flying conditions and what your fly/no fly parameters are.

I like the “educational” videos, keep them coming. So if I’m comparing, adding brake pressure is the equivalent of adding flaps in a airplane?

I don't fly, but I like to watch your vids. I wanted to ask if you have a Reflex or Non-Reflex wing. I don't know the difference to look at 'em, but it seems to make a difference about how you land......maybe about how you kite as well?

If possible, would like to see the difference between throttles? Profiles, cruise control, and the like.
