Thanks for taking us on your journey. It’s always a bit sketchy letting too much of your personal life be public on social media, but you’ve maintained a nice balance on what you reveal and have kept it classy when things didn’t work out as planned. Big respect for that. Safe travels!
@@infotechsailorThis is probably a bit harsh man but you sound clueless. Based on his very short description it sounds like she was into his lifestyle. That’s obviously based on very limited information. However I’m going to take a guess that a guy with enough funds to relocate out west, who owns more than one rather new vehicle (both 60k$ + vehicles and that’s a low ball), and a nice camper along with a house. Who also has multiple, rather expensive, hobbies in which he owns high end equipment for could probably afford a family just fine. It seems his career choice is stable enough to afford things a little above the average. You go on with yourself working your 9-5 to shape into the the guy every women wants to use to fund her and her kids from her last husband that’s still slapping them cheeks while you’re at work. I think the term your looking for is a simp
Tucker: From a 75 year old fan, retired military, fellow pilot, and battle scarred veteran of many relationship wars before the right one came along…if I may offer some insight. You’re a talented, intelligent, good looking young man with drive. From what I can tell, you’re a nice guy too. Don’t settle! Don’t short change yourself, don’t compromise. The right one will come along and when she does you won’t have to “work AT it.” You’ll work FOR it. The distinction is hard to explain but I think you’ll know when you get there. I sure did. Have fun! Pursue your dreams and goals! You know, I have few complaints but if I were to live my life over again, I’d be watching Tucker Gott for inspiration. Best wishes in your travels, hopes and dreams. If you’re ever in the Central Florida area, I’d be pleased to come watch you fly. - Butch W.
Hope everything goes well for you in Arizona. As a fellow Jersey resident living in Warren county, gonna miss seeing you fly around the neighborhood. Safe travels and flying
You are not alone Tucker. I’m leaving Maine where I have lived forever. After 30 years of marriage my wife decided to cheat on me for the third time and I asked her to leave. We live very close to each other now, but I still love her and I can’t live like this anymore. I’m selling my house and I will probably move to Fla. it’s easy for people who tell you to get over it. But we both know it’s not that easy. Good luck with your move and stay safe.
@@ebhkkc1easy to say that!! I was in a similar situation but with 3 kids, I stayed because I couldn’t imagine not living in same house as my kids…All 3 of my kids chose to live with me….now she moved out, she pays me child support and I have everything I ever wanted…For a father to get child custody in New York is very rare
Same situation with one child. I was 22 when he was born and I got full custody. 7 years later I met my wife of 10 years and have 2 more beautiful boys with. Moral is without heartbreak you never know what really makes you happy!
@@tmonster2247 Fathers getting custody over the wife is a thing that is starting to change from what I've seen, I think the court will let the children decide to an extent, but I imagine the behavior of the parents also matters (a wife cheating on the husband 3 times would be a factor for sure).
So sorry to hear that, I’m sure it it’s incredibly rough. Best of luck in Florida, I’ve always enjoyed my time down there. Lots of sun and adventures to be had.
So much love for you brother, I'm so excited for your future. For living the life you want to live. We need to visit each other in our new homes for sure.
Tucker, I have been watching you since you started your channel.I bought a home in Arizona in 2019 and spent the next four years getting the stakes pulled out of Minnesota.I am a full time resident of Arizona now. This is the best decision I have ever made. You will be able to manage the hot weather (get up in the air early). The sky and views here are extremly lovely! Congratulations on your You-Tube success!
It's tough for sure, but you'll find the right person for you. Hell, it took me until my 40's to find the right one for me. Never sell your happiness out for someone else's. A truly fulfilling relationship lifts both of you up. Never stop loving yourself, Tucker. It's a strength, not a weakness, and a good women will find that strength to be comforting.
Never left a comment before . At least I don't think I have. I moved to LA 50 years ago to play music. I played for there for 30 years . I met many great people there . I did what I love and very few people create that for themselves. You are one of the few people who go for whats inside of them. More success will follow you to Arizona. Can't wait to see your new house and see your new adventures from the desert. Thanks Tucker. Oh yeah, Happy New Year ! !
Life has episodes, it's ok to be sad that an episode is over, but the good news is you get to create a whole new episode next. Good luck mate! Love your videos, hope you keep making them!
Love mountains. Left Rome, the big city where I was born 63 yrs ago, and moved up north-east Italy, bordering with Austria... where all people speaks German. A man must find the place that fits his own spirit. Alps do the job wonderfully. My best wishes for your new life.
As someone who gets to fly the Superstition Mountains regularly, I totally agree with you that it does not disappoint! There are SO MANY amazing places to fly around that mountain and it never gets old! I hope that if you do move out to Arizona that I can fly with you sometime. Best of luck with your decisions and I hope it all works out for you.
I just moved out after 6 years, 14 year old step daughter, cat family and all. It's the hardest thing I've ever done, and it feels impossible to move on. This is all completely raw, last few weeks, but I've found that I spiral if I focus on what I lose, and I manage if I focus on what I gain. I'm scared as all hell at venture fourth, but I know it's the best thing for everyone. Unfortunately it's winter here in VT, I'm broke beyond belief, and my career needs a jump-start, but I'll manage. I really wish I could mountain bike, swim, etc, to keep my head clear, but unfortunately I can't, and snowboarding is far too expensive for me right now. Treadmill, pushups and whatever else it is! To new chapters, maybe I'll get to sky dive or paramotor in this one!
Check out SE Arizona. Cooler (temperature), tons of open space, great mountains, but with a low population it may not be the best place to meet Mrs. Right.
Your photo has been unknowingly a vision board. Now it's coming true. Build that vision board brother! The future will eventually become exactly what you figure on! Kudos
Dude. I was 22. Never as cool as you but, spent my whole life in California and wrapped deeply into a situationship for over 2 years at the time that felt like my destiny. While I still felt so connected to home I was offered a job in TX I couldn't pass up that has paved the way for the next close to a decade of my life. I still thought about that girl for 2 more years after moving from home, and ruined some good things along the way. But I'm 30 now. And honestly moving away from anything and everything I had ever been around for the first 2 decades of my life has time and time again been exactly what I needed to be a better man. Even if the first year or so is hard...sticking it out will reward you in ways you never imagined. I started watching your YT channel a few months after moving away from California for that job and honestly it was one of the only things that felt I like could get my mind off of wanting to pack up my car and go right back home. I'll probably never set seat in a paramotor or do anything half as cool, but taking the leap in a lot of ways you're about to, was the best decision of my life. I wish you all the best. If it ever gets hard, escape to the sky for the rest of us.
I broke up with my girlfriend and moved out west 23 years ago. She couldn’t go and I couldn’t stay. It was the catalyst for figuring out what really mattered to us. She moved out west a year later and we’ve been married ever since. Wishing you similar fortune.
@@TuckerGottOptimism is such a great quality, but speaking from personal experience, please don’t let yourself get trapped in hoping she’ll come to her senses and appear in your life again. I’ve been there, and all it does is prolong your suffering while still letting someone else have control over your emotions and future. I wasted years of the prime of my life in that slump. If YOU want this and would commit to it, but it’s not happening, then it’s not you who is causing the split. It hurts unbelievably, but you have to draw a line in the sand for your own emotional protection and independence. If she ever shows up again, you might find that you see things from a new perspective after your reclaim yourself, and thank the stars that you didn’t end up together. Or maybe you won’t. But you can’t let yourself live hoping for something that already ended, or you will miss out on everything else. I know it sucks profoundly and hurts worse than anything ever has, but maybe you can learn from my mistakes and not waste your entire 30s like I did.
Sorry for all the writing, but one more thing: when you get stuck in this on-again, off-again cycle like you described, it creates a trauma bond. The constant “now I have her, now I don’t” creates a toxic need, and an up and down cycle of depression and elation that you get stuck inside, very much like a drug. I have been there, and I know it’s hard to believe because our own experiences feel so strong that it seems like nobody else could’ve ever endured it. Don’t trust the magnitude of what you’re feeling from this as “love”-a lot of it could be the passion and suffering of having something you want ripped away from you repeatedly. It feels like love because you want it SO BADLY, but what it really is is suffering, and wanting to succeed in a chase you can never win.
Having lived by the Superstition Mountains all my life I totally understand the appeal and beauty. Welcome to Arizona and maybe I'll catch you flying overhead sometime!
Tucker, you are young, smart and successful you will do well where ever you live. I'm in my 60's and I only wish I had your lifestyle at the age you are now. The right life will come along, the right girl will come along. I see a safe, professional pilot in you.......Fly Safe my friend!
'By the time I get to Phoenix - she'll be Risin'... She'll find the note, I left Hangin' on her door... She'll laugh, when she reads the part, that says I'm Leaving... 'Cos I've left that Girl, so many Times before...' Good luck Tucker, wherever you get to call home matey... 🙏 Bobby x
i respect and i get all reasons why tucker moved to arizona but im a 12 year old kid, and a huge fan of this guys channel. and last easter i met tucker gott at the belmar beach in nj that day and he made a video about it. i was so happy to hear that he was a local distance away and i hoped that i could meet him again. but this video made me a little sad because now i might never get to meet him again. but like i said, i respect all reasons he wanted to move to arizona.
I am sorry to hear that your relationship didn't work out... that really sucks... I hope you can find your way in Arizona! Happy new year and make it your best year yet!!! 💪🏼🔥✈️ Greetz from the Netherlands
As the saying goes, if it's meant to be, it'll be. She'll find you if it's meant to be a chapter in your life. Until then, do you cause life is way too short. There's so many beautiful things to see and do in our great country! And you have the birds eye view to see them! Enjoy it!
Tucker, on second thought, it just occurred to me that this is the first time you've ever been farther than a hop, skip, and a hug from your Mom. I know we all do what we have to do in life, just hoping that you both are comforted and your hearts are happy for the future 🙏. Merry Christmas Brother 🎅 🎄
We enjoyed having you here man, we understand why you have to go and if that’s your choice then we stand by you. The west is a beautiful area and I hope you enjoy every second living there.
Thank you for sharing your story with us. Though I don’t fly paramotors, but I follow you for your daredevil nature and the inspiration towards life. You truly belong to the western part of US where you can unleash the best side of yours. I wish you all the best and look forward to seeing your videos in future. Keep us inspired as always with your energy!
I couldn't have said that any better! I love how he flies paramotors and talk to his audiance at the same time. When he said his area was outright banning peaceful flying, it makes me sad. Time to enjoy the "country side" as it were. Though, I can't say I would ever go back to the desert myself. Been there only because I was stationed there. It's one thing to basically do what you want. Just the heat was so bad, I felt like a piece of bacon on top of a grill.
Come hike the superstitions with me, buddy. Sorry you’re going through it. Hope things get easier. You’re gonna love living in AZ. My favorite place in this country
Good luck on your journey and thanks for spectacular views of Hunterdon county. If we hadn’t stumbled upon it we would have left NJ as well. Oh and thanks for the flying over my house more than once. Kids got a kick out of it
Nobody gets through life without getting their heart smashed like a melon at least once. Life experience and maturity brings clarity and understanding young man. I say this as a 61 y.o. man who has suffered many setbacks and heartbreaks. Keep pursuing your passions, and may peace and serenity fill your life buddy. 👊🙏
Arizona is hands down my favorite place in America. It really is staggeringly beautiful, wide open and you couldn't ask for clearer skies as an aviation enthusiast.
Staying in the area with your camper for a while before buying is a great idea. Every place has problems that drive plenty of people to leave and you usually can't see those with just a quick visit; staying for a while will give you a much better idea if those problems are ones that will bother you or not.
That sounds like good advice. If I had a camper, I'd do the same. I don't know if I would want to be traveling in a camper long term, but that would be helpful. Beats going to a hotel, looking for houses and then going to a hotel multiple times. At the very least, having a camper would give tucker more time to debate on the three houses he was talking about.
Gotta follow your heart. You've always seemed happiest in your flights out west. Relationships are tricky things. About the point you can logically conceive of not being in one, it's basically over. I wish you the best in your move. I fully expect you'll meet the right lady and it will likely be when you are least expecting to.
Dude, you can and will love again; and you're only young once. You seem open, vulnerable in your honesty and mature in your processes. You will be okay. You will love again. You will love the great Southwest. I look forward to more of your adventures. Peace.
Follow your intuition. I left NY about ten years ago for Arizona. It was the best decision I ever made. Something in my gut told me to do it. All the best!
I hope it gets better for you! Just make sure to not run from your problems, or you'll find they will find you wherever you may move, no matter the distance. Accept and make peace before you move, so when you arrive where you settle, it's truly a fresh new start. Otherwise, previous baggage will still loom over you.
The very very best to you Tucker! You got a lot of people who can give you good advice and you avoid a lot of mistakes they made. Keep an open ear. Thank for all your great videos. Pete.
Hey Tucker. Interesting video. Not many can or will share these kind of personal life experiences. Take it from a 76 year old who has had both the good and bad life has to give.. You are making decisions based on both emotion and heart.... Exactly how it has to be done. Only thing left to do is "Believe" you are doing the right thing and it will all be good in the end. Push on my young friend. There's a lot of good and happy life left for you to live.
Keep making your dreams happen Tucker. Do healthy things for your head and your heart. Even if that simply means to get out for a walk. I wish you well in the East Valley if that is where you end up. There is also some great mountain biking to be had over there. Best wishes to you. We will keep watching and rooting for you.
Good for you Tucker. I am in the same boat, why am I staying here? Sadly in Canada I don’t really have “better” place to go in the Country. From a sub from the beginning I wish you all the luck in the world, but what you’re doing is t luck…. It’s a change, and that my friend takes guts. Many people see we adventurous types and imagine we are never afraid. I commend you for being strong, good on you man. Jerry🇨🇦🇺🇸
Found your channel YEARS ago when you flew to McDonalds and my jaw DROPPED seeing it was my local restaurant. Even if you’re out of Jersey, you’re still a Jersey Legend ❤
I think the best thing you can do...is that whatever you do... *DO FOR YOU!* And the funny part is, you just know both those girls will be watching and by the time they figure out you were quite the catch, it'll be lost chances for both of them! Stay true to yourself and never forget there are so many deserving young women out there - and I'm thinking it would be ideal if whoever she is - loves to fly and do youtube and you guys will be another power couple on here! Sharing your lives to inspire others, etc. Merry Christmas young man. You've got the world by the short hairs! *OWN THOSE BISCUITS!*
Great video Tucker! Love that you are willing to share real emotion. I am a retired old geezer who has been following you for years (via RUclips- not a stocker). I have never understood how a man who is passionate about outdoor activities would choose to live out east? I have lived in western states my whole life and now live in Alaska. The cold winters are starting to take their toll so we are also looking at purchasing a second home in the Phoenix metro area. You couldn’t pay me to live there in the summer but the winters should be nice. We are focusing our search south of Phoenix because the homes (communities) are newer yet less expensive and there are two skydiving facilities and south mountain for paragliding within a few minutes drive. Warning: if you move out west, start a family and put down roots, you will never want to live on the east coast again. You’ll either visit parents a lot or they’ll move too.
All the best mate. My only advice is, "Keep looking forward." Only look back on the good times you had. You are only young. You got a lot left in front of you. All the best from North Queensland down under Tucker. Stay safe mate.
Sometimes the hardest part is knowing when it is time for a change and to pull the trigger. It can be scary, but can also be a life changing adventure. Wishing you the best and excited to continue to follow you in your journey. Your videos are what got me into paramotoring and the sport changed my life as well!
@@asasial1977 i made the decision a year ago to do whatever it takes to make my dreams come true. If you have something like that, do it! No matter what!
Speaking from the experience of other family members, so many visit Arizona in the winter, love the place for various reasons, then move there. What you need to do is visit in the period of May - August. For people who have not grown up in the SW, folks, it is HOT. Until you experience it, you have no idea how debilitating that can be, in so many ways. My grandparents retired from NJ and moved to Tuscon, having only visited during the winter months the friends who talked them into it. Their life was living in an air-conditioned (very nice) house, driving to the covered mall in an air-conditioned Buick, and walking the air-conditioned mall for exercise. I've been there many times over nearly 50 years, and I love to visit, even thought the relatives are all gone, but summer is for the lizards. So, move in November, but don't't start house-hunting until you have lived through at least one summer. Put air-conditioning in your toy trailer.
If your grandparents were from NJ, then i'm sure they're well accustomed to HUMIDITY haha the silent killer of the east. Now dry heat is still no joke, i've experienced those summer months in the SW, it's brutal, but from experience and i work outdoors, when it comes to "debilitating", humidity is like death haha Tucker will be 👍
I've lived in Tucson my whole life. Cold winters stink. You may be used to them and don't think twice about them, but to those of us who didn't grow up with them, they are unbearable. I happily take the heat we have here over cold winters. But that's not even a fraction of the issues that Tucson does not have to endure. We don't have high humidity here, so even though the thermometer looks horrifically high, it's not nearly as bad as you might think because the moisture isn't there. Don't get me wrong, I hide inside for 2 1/2 months when the sun is out, but I spend lots of time outside in the early mornings and after the sun has set. One other thing is that we have few flying insects, like mosquitoes and gnats. I've been to places in the summer that were more thermally comfortable than Tucson, but I was eaten alive by blood sucking insects. That is an issue that doesn't get nearly enough talk. And we don't have to shovel snow here, or worry about slipping on ice.
Good advice. I wrote basically the same thing and then started reading other comments. I'm from the north and my parents have a place in the Phoenix area. I always visit around Christmas and the weather is so perfect. I came down in August this year and it was like walking into hell. 110 to 115 every day. Just going to the grocery store was miserable. I could never live in Phoenix from June to August every year.
Always enjoy your videos. You've inspired me to start looking into Paramotoring for myself. That is still a bit in the future financially (two kids in college), but you keep the flame alive. I think is is great that you have the opportunity to pursue a new location and are taking it. Best of Luck with the travels and relocation.
Hey Tucker, I’ve been there. For me, it was 8 years. Neither of us wanted it to end that way, but it was unfixable. I also had a madly-in-love passion that ended horribly prior to that one. I won’t blow smoke up your butt and say it gets easier quickly, because it doesn’t. It hurts for a really, really long time. *The only way out of it is through it.* I do have one piece of advice though: don’t fall into the trap of feeling so dismayed by how things worked out that you lose yourself and abandon your ideals. When you go through something like this, it’s easy to feel like your whole sense of identity is gone, and also easy to feel the “eff it!” mentality where you start making bad decisions because you’re angry at the world and just don’t care anymore. Don’t let that happen-the deeper a hole one digs for themself, the harder it is to get back out. And when new opportunities come along, you still want to be the best version of yourself, so you can fully take advantage of your future. Also, hang onto your friends and family, they are your rocks. You really learn who the most valuable people are in your life when you think back to who has consistently been there. Best of luck from someone who has also been through the meat grinder and still thinks about it daily. Life will be different, but if you get your head in the right place, there are still lots of things to make it worthwhile.
Tucker - You are vulnerable and authentic in your videos. As a follower, I appreciate you sharing your life journey and the sports of paramotoring, base jumping, flying and sky diving with us. As you push the envelop in some of the more extreme aspects of these sports, please always consider your state of mind and ensure that you are within your own envelop of safety and don't let your emotions push you too far.
Tucker... Loooong time sub, I encourage you to take the leap. It's hard to leave what you know behind, but I can assure you that there is no worse feeling than regretting an opportunity not taken. We all love and lose, that's just the way life goes. One day you'll find the one and I'm guessing she's somewhere in the Southwest. Go find her dude, don't think about it, do it. In the meantime, Aviate, Navigate, Communicate.
Hate to hear your leaving Jersey but I totally get it. If I didn’t have my career here I’d have ran to Florida by now with my family. It’s just more conducive to my outdoor lifestyle of boating and paramotoring. I wish you the best Tucker: I hope you start a school out there that would be awesome for beginners and advanced pilots. But whatever venture you get into I wish you the best and know you’ll succeed. You’ll Def gonna have create some epic content out there. But know this…you’ll always be one of the few that did Jersey proud! It’s a tough state to admit we’re from for sure due to shitty stereotypes. But you inspired me to get into paramotoring, and travel north to a part of Jersey I never knew - a place I’d fall in love with so much to get engaged to my wife in a hot air balloon. It was great bumping into at PHL last month for a quick catch-up! Please visit often brother…onward and upward to the next adventure, cheers!
I’ve never been to Arizona but have been to NJ a whole lot. I grew up in the Phila area. I think you’re making a good move. Aside from the summer heat you’ll do great there. Good luck.
I love it here. Yes, hot. You young guys should have no problem thriving in heat. Hydrate. I'm 51... Time is ticking... Enjoy life while you are physically able. Don't hold back 😊
We are always here to support you man! You’re a great guy with a big heart. If it’s consolation, just know that you have made it this far in life, often by yourself. While it’s sad to lose a relationship or friendship, you’ll be ok. If it couldn’t work, you gave it your best and enjoy everything for what it was. You’ll most likely meet someone when you aren’t looking and least expect it. With a new home with great weather, you’ve got endless opportunities. Considering nearby you have Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Nevada, Mexico etc. Best of wishes! We’re here for ya
Good luck to you and I hope you find happiness with someone else, somewhere else! I'm 62, everyone is gone in my life a bit lonely at times but I stay busy with my hobbies and my business! Take care and look forward to following you out west!
Love can be the greatest feeling you've ever felt and leave the biggest hurts. There's always something to learn...whether it's how to be a better man and partner or how to pick a better woman. Hang in there, Tucker!
You and my son Evan crack me up. You both wear your hearts on your sleeves and that is a GREAT way to be. Sure, you get hurt but take it from me, waiting is worth it. I travelled and adventured hard, I was not even looking for a relationship. I was 40 and single and then BOOM. Fast forward 15 years, still happily married to the BOOM lady :-) You got this Tucker and don't change a damn thing about who you are!
I’m stoked for you making a change. UT/AZ are amazing to fly! Hope you find something and make it to Flying Circus in February! A bunch of us UT people will be there!
As an old dude I can tell you this: breakups can make you feel like you're going to die, but you don't die. I had a long distance thang once, and later it occurred to me that I was driving past millions of girls to get to that 'one'
Now is the time! Once you're well into your 30s, this sort of upending of your life becomes less and less doable. By 40, most people are where they're going to be. That isn't to say starting over is impossible when you're older, but it is MUCH more difficult. I'm 44 and meeting new friends at my age is quite the rare occurrence. Everyone is married with kids and we all live in our own little bubbles. My friends are almost entirely people I met in my 20s.
As someone from camden county and a Jersey native, im sorry you are driven out of the state. Im also so sorry about your breakup but i wish the best for you and hope you have fun in arizona
Tucker, thanks for the update! I, too, will be relocating to Scottsdale, AZ, in a couple months. It would be an honor and privilege to fly along side you. First frosty beverage is on me! 🍻
moving away from my home to the other side of the world felt bad and wrong first. but now i say it was the best decision in my life. remember not all good byes are bad. wish you the best.
THANKS FOR A "GOD'S JUDGEMENT" WITH THAT SELF DECLARATION! WHOA! ARE YOU "HERE"? BECAUSE "CHRIS COLUMBUS ETC." PROPELED THEIR UNEXPECTED PRESENT, INTO OUR NOW OF HISTORY?...... AND FOR OUR ABILITY TO REFLECT ON THOSE CONSEQUENCES?
Good luck, Tucker. As a viewer, I did enjoy sharing in your experiences with your public relationship, sorry that didn’t work out, and of course it’s hard when any relationship fails. I know lots of people that moved that way, and have been very happy. Good luck in your new adventures.
Used to watch you while back on another account of mine and now I'm back after awhile and gone through a lot of the same stuff just in reverse. I'm moving back home from the West where I ventured out away from family and friends. We must stay strong and keep looking forward.
I've always wondered what happened between Tucker and Jackie. She was always there involved with his paramotoring. From the vids it looked like the two had the perfect life going on together. Although I noticed that she wouldn't tag along whenever tucker did a long distance travel video. IDK, people change and they were both young at the time. Honestly I'm still kind of shocked how much Tucker changed in appearance in the last 5 years or so. He was a thin shaggy haired guy who looked like a skater type. Now he's got a stash, bulked out, and to me looks more like a Firefighter type. lol.
She and Tucker did do a long trip together in the Van-mobile. All she said in one of her videos was that the break up was "a long time coming." No details from either of them, which I can respect, even though I was really curious.
I may be wrong, but I got some impression looking at them even when they were together. She looks like she got last flames of her youth and gonna be pretty old and mature very soon and this lite irresponsible way of life will not suit her any more. Like she needs to become a mother, housewife or something. Tucker could fool around for many more years, but she doesn't look like having that energy and desire for that, so she'd probably find and build a more serious responsible relationship with someone while she still can. I don't think that everyone must go for that family life. But somehow she doesn't look like she have that much interest in paramotoring or that lite lifestyle. It's like that moment in "The Spectacular Now (2013)" When she says "I want the future". Like she isn't happy just being together doing stupid things, like somehow she feels the gravity to pursue that boring serious responsible life like having kids, taking job and career seriously, all that boring stuff.
If you do move out west here I'll say, "Welcome to FREE AMERICA!" I've been giving some thought to leaving CO because it's being overrun by Californians who've screwed up their own state and now they're doing the same thing here. Debating between AZ and WY.
Whatever you end up doing, worry not. You are one of the best watches on the RUclips and I am sure you will be fine. Years from now, you will look back and realize what an amazing journey your life has been. (Sorry for the losses of your friends...) May God always guide you at all times. I look forward to more content in the future. Have an enjoyable holiday season. Peace.
I'm glad you're moving on Tucker. As a loyal subscriber since your Icarus days, I did enjoy your videos with Jacklyn and the bond you two seemed to share at the time. I don't know all of the details that led to the split, but I do know that being in the same area with the same places that you shared with that person can be difficult. I hope this move out west can give you a breath of fresh air and inspire you to keep chasing your dreams! Looking forward to joining in this new adventure with ya, dude!
You got this bro. You do you. Change is great. The big reset. Everything else sorts itself out. Arizona would be perfect for you. Maybe a big enough yard that you can take off and land from. Wishing you happiness
Honestly: we miss you two as "T.&J" ....this showing of sharing the passion of flying together was, what we loved so much ❤❤... this was the reason to click the follow your Channel button. It encouraged as well as inspired my beloved and me to also get together into the sport of ppg and it was a real pleasure following Jackie abd you on YT - well it seems to have come to an end sadly... We wish Jacky and you all the best for your individual paths of life, keep the smiles🤗✨!!
Conratz on the new adventures Tuck, a new chapter in life. Thanks for YT, we could still follow you by your side and take part in your adventures.. have a good trip my friend sean from Montreal
Tucker my hero. Been watching you since the "steak' video and you've helped me get through the lowest points of my life. Unbelievably low. but they lead to the mountain top. And it involved the best relationship you can imagine. I appreciate you so much and this is the best video ever. So - you'll be in my confident and thankful prayers - and I believe you'll soon be on the mountaintop.
Tucker I'm from/born in Toledo Ohio. Moved out here to Arizona in summer of 1983 to start Junior year in High School in Chandler. I've been here ever since. Even joined and served in the Air Force and got my first choice of station at Luke Air Force base in Glendale and was in from 1985-1989. Got out and lived in Mesa and now Phoenix. Wish you the best as you already know the weather is awesome here, Summers are a little rough but easy to shovel sunshine!!! Whatever you decide best of luck, and I'll keep watching!
Congratulations bro. I now live in Northern Utah however, I've lived all over the world and I've never regretted the adventures. Most decisions are reversible if you ever want to go back. I wish you the best of luck and I will be following your interesting journey.
Thanks for taking us on your journey. It’s always a bit sketchy letting too much of your personal life be public on social media, but you’ve maintained a nice balance on what you reveal and have kept it classy when things didn’t work out as planned. Big respect for that. Safe travels!
Damn, dude. Thank you for the tremendous amount of honesty and vulnerability in this video. 🧡
Bro loved her but imma say she wants a guy who has a more serious or stable career who can support a family. My best guess
@@infotechsailorThis is probably a bit harsh man but you sound clueless. Based on his very short description it sounds like she was into his lifestyle. That’s obviously based on very limited information. However I’m going to take a guess that a guy with enough funds to relocate out west, who owns more than one rather new vehicle (both 60k$ + vehicles and that’s a low ball), and a nice camper along with a house. Who also has multiple, rather expensive, hobbies in which he owns high end equipment for could probably afford a family just fine. It seems his career choice is stable enough to afford things a little above the average. You go on with yourself working your 9-5 to shape into the the guy every women wants to use to fund her and her kids from her last husband that’s still slapping them cheeks while you’re at work. I think the term your looking for is a simp
Tucker: From a 75 year old fan, retired military, fellow pilot, and battle scarred veteran of many relationship wars before the right one came along…if I may offer some insight. You’re a talented, intelligent, good looking young man with drive. From what I can tell, you’re a nice guy too. Don’t settle! Don’t short change yourself, don’t compromise. The right one will come along and when she does you won’t have to “work AT it.” You’ll work FOR it. The distinction is hard to explain but I think you’ll know when you get there. I sure did. Have fun! Pursue your dreams and goals! You know, I have few complaints but if I were to live my life over again, I’d be watching Tucker Gott for inspiration. Best wishes in your travels, hopes and dreams. If you’re ever in the Central Florida area, I’d be pleased to come watch you fly. - Butch W.
Nailed it!
Amazing comment
Nice comment.
Wise words Butch, I"m 66 and never found that right one, it happens. Kudos to those that do.
This ⬆️⬆️🎯
Hope everything goes well for you in Arizona. As a fellow Jersey resident living in Warren county, gonna miss seeing you fly around the neighborhood. Safe travels and flying
You are not alone Tucker. I’m leaving Maine where I have lived forever. After 30 years of marriage my wife decided to cheat on me for the third time and I asked her to leave. We live very close to each other now, but I still love her and I can’t live like this anymore. I’m selling my house and I will probably move to Fla. it’s easy for people who tell you to get over it. But we both know it’s not that easy. Good luck with your move and stay safe.
Should have dumped her all after the first cheat. Lesson learned huh
@@ebhkkc1easy to say that!! I was in a similar situation but with 3 kids, I stayed because I couldn’t imagine not living in same house as my kids…All 3 of my kids chose to live with me….now she moved out, she pays me child support and I have everything I ever wanted…For a father to get child custody in New York is very rare
Same situation with one child. I was 22 when he was born and I got full custody. 7 years later I met my wife of 10 years and have 2 more beautiful boys with. Moral is without heartbreak you never know what really makes you happy!
@@tmonster2247 Fathers getting custody over the wife is a thing that is starting to change from what I've seen, I think the court will let the children decide to an extent, but I imagine the behavior of the parents also matters (a wife cheating on the husband 3 times would be a factor for sure).
So sorry to hear that, I’m sure it it’s incredibly rough. Best of luck in Florida, I’ve always enjoyed my time down there. Lots of sun and adventures to be had.
So much love for you brother, I'm so excited for your future. For living the life you want to live. We need to visit each other in our new homes for sure.
We will miss you up here in the forest. Thanks for inspiring me and so many others to fly.
Tucker, I have been watching you since you started your channel.I bought a home in Arizona in 2019 and spent the next four years getting the stakes pulled out of Minnesota.I am a full time resident of Arizona now. This is the best decision I have ever made. You will be able to manage the hot weather (get up in the air early). The sky and views here are extremly lovely! Congratulations on your You-Tube success!
@@Apriliars No doubt and the wearher too!
yes sireee!
It's tough for sure, but you'll find the right person for you. Hell, it took me until my 40's to find the right one for me. Never sell your happiness out for someone else's. A truly fulfilling relationship lifts both of you up. Never stop loving yourself, Tucker. It's a strength, not a weakness, and a good women will find that strength to be comforting.
So many amazing comments here, but this one right here cuts through it all like a hot knife through butter. Well said.
I couldn't agree more @guidosarducci166 its very important to take your time especially when it comes to relationships.
@@FlyBabyFlyPPGCan’t make sense of a dam thing you wrote.
@@MichaelRei99 He said don't be a simp. Be your own man.
Not everyone finds their person either and thats okay too.
Never left a comment before . At least I don't think I have. I moved to LA 50 years ago to play music. I played for there for 30 years . I met many great people there . I did what I love and very few people create that for themselves. You are one of the few people who go for whats inside of them. More success will follow you to Arizona. Can't wait to see your new house and see your new adventures from the desert. Thanks Tucker. Oh yeah, Happy New Year ! !
Life has episodes, it's ok to be sad that an episode is over, but the good news is you get to create a whole new episode next. Good luck mate! Love your videos, hope you keep making them!
Love mountains. Left Rome, the big city where I was born 63 yrs ago, and moved up north-east Italy, bordering with Austria... where all people speaks German. A man must find the place that fits his own spirit. Alps do the job wonderfully. My best wishes for your new life.
As someone who gets to fly the Superstition Mountains regularly, I totally agree with you that it does not disappoint! There are SO MANY amazing places to fly around that mountain and it never gets old! I hope that if you do move out to Arizona that I can fly with you sometime. Best of luck with your decisions and I hope it all works out for you.
Tucker , you are a bright soul , you only gain wisdom by pain ...You will embrace it many times in your life , be well brother .
I think it's admirable that you are keeping an open mind about exactly where you end up. It's an adventure after all
I just moved out after 6 years, 14 year old step daughter, cat family and all. It's the hardest thing I've ever done, and it feels impossible to move on. This is all completely raw, last few weeks, but I've found that I spiral if I focus on what I lose, and I manage if I focus on what I gain. I'm scared as all hell at venture fourth, but I know it's the best thing for everyone. Unfortunately it's winter here in VT, I'm broke beyond belief, and my career needs a jump-start, but I'll manage. I really wish I could mountain bike, swim, etc, to keep my head clear, but unfortunately I can't, and snowboarding is far too expensive for me right now. Treadmill, pushups and whatever else it is! To new chapters, maybe I'll get to sky dive or paramotor in this one!
Vermont is full of queers anyway. Beautiful state though!
Check out SE Arizona. Cooler (temperature), tons of open space, great mountains, but with a low population it may not be the best place to meet Mrs. Right.
Your photo has been unknowingly a vision board. Now it's coming true. Build that vision board brother! The future will eventually become exactly what you figure on! Kudos
Dude. I was 22. Never as cool as you but, spent my whole life in California and wrapped deeply into a situationship for over 2 years at the time that felt like my destiny. While I still felt so connected to home I was offered a job in TX I couldn't pass up that has paved the way for the next close to a decade of my life. I still thought about that girl for 2 more years after moving from home, and ruined some good things along the way. But I'm 30 now. And honestly moving away from anything and everything I had ever been around for the first 2 decades of my life has time and time again been exactly what I needed to be a better man. Even if the first year or so is hard...sticking it out will reward you in ways you never imagined.
I started watching your YT channel a few months after moving away from California for that job and honestly it was one of the only things that felt I like could get my mind off of wanting to pack up my car and go right back home. I'll probably never set seat in a paramotor or do anything half as cool, but taking the leap in a lot of ways you're about to, was the best decision of my life. I wish you all the best. If it ever gets hard, escape to the sky for the rest of us.
I broke up with my girlfriend and moved out west 23 years ago. She couldn’t go and I couldn’t stay. It was the catalyst for figuring out what really mattered to us. She moved out west a year later and we’ve been married ever since. Wishing you similar fortune.
What?! I didn’t know that. Totally open to that outcome as well, if it happens.
@@TuckerGott yeah, we were too busy discussing your aspirations to be a foot model on OnlyFans. 🤣
@@TuckerGottOptimism is such a great quality, but speaking from personal experience, please don’t let yourself get trapped in hoping she’ll come to her senses and appear in your life again. I’ve been there, and all it does is prolong your suffering while still letting someone else have control over your emotions and future. I wasted years of the prime of my life in that slump.
If YOU want this and would commit to it, but it’s not happening, then it’s not you who is causing the split. It hurts unbelievably, but you have to draw a line in the sand for your own emotional protection and independence.
If she ever shows up again, you might find that you see things from a new perspective after your reclaim yourself, and thank the stars that you didn’t end up together. Or maybe you won’t. But you can’t let yourself live hoping for something that already ended, or you will miss out on everything else.
I know it sucks profoundly and hurts worse than anything ever has, but maybe you can learn from my mistakes and not waste your entire 30s like I did.
Sorry for all the writing, but one more thing: when you get stuck in this on-again, off-again cycle like you described, it creates a trauma bond. The constant “now I have her, now I don’t” creates a toxic need, and an up and down cycle of depression and elation that you get stuck inside, very much like a drug.
I have been there, and I know it’s hard to believe because our own experiences feel so strong that it seems like nobody else could’ve ever endured it. Don’t trust the magnitude of what you’re feeling from this as “love”-a lot of it could be the passion and suffering of having something you want ripped away from you repeatedly. It feels like love because you want it SO BADLY, but what it really is is suffering, and wanting to succeed in a chase you can never win.
Bro that's actually awesome.
Welcome to Arizona Tucker, Mark in Phoenix!
All the best Tucker! I really hope you find happiness and peace wherever you end up. We're all here rooting for you buddy 🙏
Tucker…good luck with whatever your path turns out to be ! You’ve got a lot of support behind you. Looking forward to watching your new adventures !
I moved to the west 25 years ago and I will never leave. The landscapes and potential for people who like outdoor activities is unmatched.
Having lived by the Superstition Mountains all my life I totally understand the appeal and beauty. Welcome to Arizona and maybe I'll catch you flying overhead sometime!
Tucker, you are young, smart and successful you will do well where ever you live. I'm in my 60's and I only wish I had your lifestyle at the age you are now. The right life will come along, the right girl will come along. I see a safe, professional pilot in you.......Fly Safe my friend!
'By the time I get to Phoenix - she'll be Risin'... She'll find the note, I left Hangin' on her door... She'll laugh, when she reads the part, that says I'm Leaving... 'Cos I've left that Girl, so many Times before...' Good luck Tucker, wherever you get to call home matey... 🙏 Bobby x
Best of luck Tucker! Enjoy the new adventures, people and change of scenery. You've succeeded on the East coast now go live life in full out West.
i respect and i get all reasons why tucker moved to arizona but im a 12 year old kid, and a huge fan of this guys channel. and last easter i met tucker gott at the belmar beach in nj that day and he made a video about it. i was so happy to hear that he was a local distance away and i hoped that i could meet him again. but this video made me a little sad because now i might never get to meet him again. but like i said, i respect all reasons he wanted to move to arizona.
I am sorry to hear that your relationship didn't work out... that really sucks... I hope you can find your way in Arizona! Happy new year and make it your best year yet!!! 💪🏼🔥✈️ Greetz from the Netherlands
As the saying goes, if it's meant to be, it'll be. She'll find you if it's meant to be a chapter in your life. Until then, do you cause life is way too short. There's so many beautiful things to see and do in our great country! And you have the birds eye view to see them! Enjoy it!
Tucker, on second thought, it just occurred to me that this is the first time you've ever been farther than a hop, skip, and a hug from your Mom. I know we all do what we have to do in life, just hoping that you both are comforted and your hearts are happy for the future 🙏. Merry Christmas Brother 🎅 🎄
We enjoyed having you here man, we understand why you have to go and if that’s your choice then we stand by you. The west is a beautiful area and I hope you enjoy every second living there.
Thank you for sharing your story with us. Though I don’t fly paramotors, but I follow you for your daredevil nature and the inspiration towards life. You truly belong to the western part of US where you can unleash the best side of yours. I wish you all the best and look forward to seeing your videos in future. Keep us inspired as always with your energy!
I couldn't have said that any better! I love how he flies paramotors and talk to his audiance at the same time. When he said his area was outright banning peaceful flying, it makes me sad. Time to enjoy the "country side" as it were.
Though, I can't say I would ever go back to the desert myself. Been there only because I was stationed there. It's one thing to basically do what you want. Just the heat was so bad, I felt like a piece of bacon on top of a grill.
Come hike the superstitions with me, buddy. Sorry you’re going through it. Hope things get easier. You’re gonna love living in AZ. My favorite place in this country
Damn Tuck.. im feeling the same way bro. Stay strong...follow your heart. You have our support.
Good luck on your journey and thanks for spectacular views of Hunterdon county. If we hadn’t stumbled upon it we would have left NJ as well. Oh and thanks for the flying over my house more than once. Kids got a kick out of it
Nobody gets through life without getting their heart smashed like a melon at least once. Life experience and maturity brings clarity and understanding young man. I say this as a 61 y.o. man who has suffered many setbacks and heartbreaks. Keep pursuing your passions, and may peace and serenity fill your life buddy. 👊🙏
Arizona is hands down my favorite place in America. It really is staggeringly beautiful, wide open and you couldn't ask for clearer skies as an aviation enthusiast.
Staying in the area with your camper for a while before buying is a great idea. Every place has problems that drive plenty of people to leave and you usually can't see those with just a quick visit; staying for a while will give you a much better idea if those problems are ones that will bother you or not.
That sounds like good advice. If I had a camper, I'd do the same. I don't know if I would want to be traveling in a camper long term, but that would be helpful. Beats going to a hotel, looking for houses and then going to a hotel multiple times. At the very least, having a camper would give tucker more time to debate on the three houses he was talking about.
Gotta follow your heart. You've always seemed happiest in your flights out west. Relationships are tricky things. About the point you can logically conceive of not being in one, it's basically over. I wish you the best in your move. I fully expect you'll meet the right lady and it will likely be when you are least expecting to.
That really can be tough. Good luck in Arizona and go Diamondbacks! ☀️ 🪂
Go for it Tucker! Go for it! Don't look back!... look forward!
exactly this ----^
Horrible advice.
100%, great advice
I did this 25 years ago and was the best decision I ever made. Always look forward.
Good luck Tucker wish you the best. Safe travels in your journey, be safe and keep posting...
Dude, you can and will love again; and you're only young once. You seem open, vulnerable in your honesty and mature in your processes. You will be okay. You will love again. You will love the great Southwest. I look forward to more of your adventures. Peace.
Follow your intuition. I left NY about ten years ago for Arizona. It was the best decision I ever made. Something in my gut told me to do it. All the best!
I hope it gets better for you! Just make sure to not run from your problems, or you'll find they will find you wherever you may move, no matter the distance. Accept and make peace before you move, so when you arrive where you settle, it's truly a fresh new start. Otherwise, previous baggage will still loom over you.
We would love to have you hear in AZ. I live in Gilbert and have lived in AZ a lot of my life. Good luck in your adventures.
Thanks so much for sharing with us. It’s brave of you. You’ll always have us
gay
The very very best to you Tucker! You got a lot of people who can give you good advice and you avoid a lot of mistakes they made. Keep an open ear. Thank for all your great videos. Pete.
You gained so much respect for the courage it took to upload such a personal video, remarkable!
Merry Christmas mate, all the best in your next adventure
Hey Tucker. Interesting video. Not many can or will share these kind of personal life experiences. Take it from a 76 year old who has had both the good and bad life has to give.. You are making decisions based on both emotion and heart.... Exactly how it has to be done. Only thing left to do is "Believe" you are doing the right thing and it will all be good in the end. Push on my young friend. There's a lot of good and happy life left for you to live.
Keep making your dreams happen Tucker. Do healthy things for your head and your heart. Even if that simply means to get out for a walk. I wish you well in the East Valley if that is where you end up. There is also some great mountain biking to be had over there. Best wishes to you. We will keep watching and rooting for you.
Good for you Tucker. I am in the same boat, why am I staying here? Sadly in Canada I don’t really have “better” place to go in the Country. From a sub from the beginning I wish you all the luck in the world, but what you’re doing is t luck…. It’s a change, and that my friend takes guts. Many people see we adventurous types and imagine we are never afraid. I commend you for being strong, good on you man. Jerry🇨🇦🇺🇸
Found your channel YEARS ago when you flew to McDonalds and my jaw DROPPED seeing it was my local restaurant. Even if you’re out of Jersey, you’re still a Jersey Legend ❤
I think the best thing you can do...is that whatever you do... *DO FOR YOU!* And the funny part is, you just know both those girls will be watching and by the time they figure out you were quite the catch, it'll be lost chances for both of them! Stay true to yourself and never forget there are so many deserving young women out there - and I'm thinking it would be ideal if whoever she is - loves to fly and do youtube and you guys will be another power couple on here! Sharing your lives to inspire others, etc. Merry Christmas young man. You've got the world by the short hairs! *OWN THOSE BISCUITS!*
Great video Tucker! Love that you are willing to share real emotion.
I am a retired old geezer who has been following you for years (via RUclips- not a stocker). I have never understood how a man who is passionate about outdoor activities would choose to live out east? I have lived in western states my whole life and now live in Alaska. The cold winters are starting to take their toll so we are also looking at purchasing a second home in the Phoenix metro area. You couldn’t pay me to live there in the summer but the winters should be nice. We are focusing our search south of Phoenix because the homes (communities) are newer yet less expensive and there are two skydiving facilities and south mountain for paragliding within a few minutes drive. Warning: if you move out west, start a family and put down roots, you will never want to live on the east coast again. You’ll either visit parents a lot or they’ll move too.
All the best mate. My only advice is, "Keep looking forward." Only look back on the good times you had. You are only young. You got a lot left in front of you. All the best from North Queensland down under Tucker. Stay safe mate.
Good luck. But imo Phoenix sucks. You can’t do anything outside from May to September. Why not Flagstaff or St George UT?
Sometimes the hardest part is knowing when it is time for a change and to pull the trigger. It can be scary, but can also be a life changing adventure.
Wishing you the best and excited to continue to follow you in your journey.
Your videos are what got me into paramotoring and the sport changed my life as well!
I absolutely agree
At 46 my biggest regret is exactly that.
Not getting myself out of bad situations.
Now I wonder “what if I had”
@@asasial1977 i made the decision a year ago to do whatever it takes to make my dreams come true. If you have something like that, do it! No matter what!
Welcome to Arizona, Tucker! Thrilled to have you here soon.
Speaking from the experience of other family members, so many visit Arizona in the winter, love the place for various reasons, then move there. What you need to do is visit in the period of May - August. For people who have not grown up in the SW, folks, it is HOT. Until you experience it, you have no idea how debilitating that can be, in so many ways. My grandparents retired from NJ and moved to Tuscon, having only visited during the winter months the friends who talked them into it. Their life was living in an air-conditioned (very nice) house, driving to the covered mall in an air-conditioned Buick, and walking the air-conditioned mall for exercise. I've been there many times over nearly 50 years, and I love to visit, even thought the relatives are all gone, but summer is for the lizards. So, move in November, but don't't start house-hunting until you have lived through at least one summer. Put air-conditioning in your toy trailer.
If your grandparents were from NJ, then i'm sure they're well accustomed to HUMIDITY haha the silent killer of the east. Now dry heat is still no joke, i've experienced those summer months in the SW, it's brutal, but from experience and i work outdoors, when it comes to "debilitating", humidity is like death haha Tucker will be 👍
I've lived in Tucson my whole life.
Cold winters stink. You may be used to them and don't think twice about them, but to those of us who didn't grow up with them, they are unbearable.
I happily take the heat we have here over cold winters. But that's not even a fraction of the issues that Tucson does not have to endure. We don't have high humidity here, so even though the thermometer looks horrifically high, it's not nearly as bad as you might think because the moisture isn't there. Don't get me wrong, I hide inside for 2 1/2 months when the sun is out, but I spend lots of time outside in the early mornings and after the sun has set.
One other thing is that we have few flying insects, like mosquitoes and gnats. I've been to places in the summer that were more thermally comfortable than Tucson, but I was eaten alive by blood sucking insects. That is an issue that doesn't get nearly enough talk.
And we don't have to shovel snow here, or worry about slipping on ice.
Good advice. I wrote basically the same thing and then started reading other comments. I'm from the north and my parents have a place in the Phoenix area. I always visit around Christmas and the weather is so perfect. I came down in August this year and it was like walking into hell. 110 to 115 every day. Just going to the grocery store was miserable. I could never live in Phoenix from June to August every year.
Always enjoy your videos. You've inspired me to start looking into Paramotoring for myself. That is still a bit in the future financially (two kids in college), but you keep the flame alive. I think is is great that you have the opportunity to pursue a new location and are taking it. Best of Luck with the travels and relocation.
HE MADE AND ACCEPTED THE CONSEQUENCES OF HIS DECISIONS. grow some bowling ---!
Hey Tucker, I’ve been there. For me, it was 8 years. Neither of us wanted it to end that way, but it was unfixable. I also had a madly-in-love passion that ended horribly prior to that one.
I won’t blow smoke up your butt and say it gets easier quickly, because it doesn’t. It hurts for a really, really long time. *The only way out of it is through it.*
I do have one piece of advice though: don’t fall into the trap of feeling so dismayed by how things worked out that you lose yourself and abandon your ideals. When you go through something like this, it’s easy to feel like your whole sense of identity is gone, and also easy to feel the “eff it!” mentality where you start making bad decisions because you’re angry at the world and just don’t care anymore. Don’t let that happen-the deeper a hole one digs for themself, the harder it is to get back out. And when new opportunities come along, you still want to be the best version of yourself, so you can fully take advantage of your future.
Also, hang onto your friends and family, they are your rocks. You really learn who the most valuable people are in your life when you think back to who has consistently been there.
Best of luck from someone who has also been through the meat grinder and still thinks about it daily. Life will be different, but if you get your head in the right place, there are still lots of things to make it worthwhile.
lol life-advice from the comments section. Because some loser nerd is who you really want to listen to.
Tucker - You are vulnerable and authentic in your videos. As a follower, I appreciate you sharing your life journey and the sports of paramotoring, base jumping, flying and sky diving with us. As you push the envelop in some of the more extreme aspects of these sports, please always consider your state of mind and ensure that you are within your own envelop of safety and don't let your emotions push you too far.
Tucker... Loooong time sub, I encourage you to take the leap. It's hard to leave what you know behind, but I can assure you that there is no worse feeling than regretting an opportunity not taken. We all love and lose, that's just the way life goes. One day you'll find the one and I'm guessing she's somewhere in the Southwest. Go find her dude, don't think about it, do it. In the meantime, Aviate, Navigate, Communicate.
I live in NJ and I am really trying to get to the Southern Utah area. Good luck to you and be safe.
Hate to hear your leaving Jersey but I totally get it. If I didn’t have my career here I’d have ran to Florida by now with my family. It’s just more conducive to my outdoor lifestyle of boating and paramotoring.
I wish you the best Tucker: I hope you start a school out there that would be awesome for beginners and advanced pilots. But whatever venture you get into I wish you the best and know you’ll succeed. You’ll Def gonna have create some epic content out there.
But know this…you’ll always be one of the few that did Jersey proud! It’s a tough state to admit we’re from for sure due to shitty stereotypes. But you inspired me to get into paramotoring, and travel north to a part of Jersey I never knew - a place I’d fall in love with so much to get engaged to my wife in a hot air balloon. It was great bumping into at PHL last month for a quick catch-up! Please visit often brother…onward and upward to the next adventure, cheers!
I’ve never been to Arizona but have been to NJ a whole lot. I grew up in the Phila area. I think you’re making a good move. Aside from the summer heat you’ll do great there. Good luck.
I love it here. Yes, hot. You young guys should have no problem thriving in heat. Hydrate. I'm 51... Time is ticking... Enjoy life while you are physically able. Don't hold back 😊
No pain no growth. That's life! I wish you the very best on your future endeavors. BTW, New Jersey is one of my least favorite states.
We are always here to support you man! You’re a great guy with a big heart.
If it’s consolation, just know that you have made it this far in life, often by yourself. While it’s sad to lose a relationship or friendship, you’ll be ok.
If it couldn’t work, you gave it your best and enjoy everything for what it was. You’ll most likely meet someone when you aren’t looking and least expect it.
With a new home with great weather, you’ve got endless opportunities. Considering nearby you have Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Nevada, Mexico etc.
Best of wishes! We’re here for ya
Love the honesty and transparency, says a lot about your character. You’re gonna be just fine🤘
BUT, WHAT DO WE THE PEOPLE KNOW? SAID: JELLOUSLY!
Good luck to you and I hope you find happiness with someone else, somewhere else! I'm 62, everyone is gone in my life a bit lonely at times but I stay busy with my hobbies and my business! Take care and look forward to following you out west!
Love can be the greatest feeling you've ever felt and leave the biggest hurts. There's always something to learn...whether it's how to be a better man and partner or how to pick a better woman. Hang in there, Tucker!
"partner" lol
@@salazam Are you offended by the word partner? Not that I care.
Do it man. I had the opportunity to move to Cali with some friends years back and not doing it is one of my biggest regrets.
You and my son Evan crack me up. You both wear your hearts on your sleeves and that is a GREAT way to be. Sure, you get hurt but take it from me, waiting is worth it. I travelled and adventured hard, I was not even looking for a relationship. I was 40 and single and then BOOM. Fast forward 15 years, still happily married to the BOOM lady :-) You got this Tucker and don't change a damn thing about who you are!
I’m stoked for you making a change. UT/AZ are amazing to fly! Hope you find something and make it to Flying Circus in February! A bunch of us UT people will be there!
As an old dude I can tell you this: breakups can make you feel like you're going to die, but you don't die. I had a long distance thang once, and later it occurred to me that I was driving past millions of girls to get to that 'one'
Good luck bud. Keep it real, stay safe. Look forward to hearing from you soon. Merry Christmas!!!
Now is the time! Once you're well into your 30s, this sort of upending of your life becomes less and less doable. By 40, most people are where they're going to be. That isn't to say starting over is impossible when you're older, but it is MUCH more difficult. I'm 44 and meeting new friends at my age is quite the rare occurrence. Everyone is married with kids and we all live in our own little bubbles. My friends are almost entirely people I met in my 20s.
As someone from camden county and a Jersey native, im sorry you are driven out of the state. Im also so sorry about your breakup but i wish the best for you and hope you have fun in arizona
Tucker, thanks for the update! I, too, will be relocating to Scottsdale, AZ, in a couple months. It would be an honor and privilege to fly along side you. First frosty beverage is on me! 🍻
moving away from my home to the other side of the world felt bad and wrong first. but now i say it was the best decision in my life. remember not all good byes are bad. wish you the best.
Fancy Seeing you here, Love watching your videos in your epic locations too.
@@AdventureFPVoh cheers mate! we people are alike. 😅 thanks alot. yeah nice seeing you here too. have a wonderful weekend
THANKS FOR A "GOD'S JUDGEMENT" WITH THAT SELF DECLARATION! WHOA! ARE YOU "HERE"? BECAUSE "CHRIS COLUMBUS ETC." PROPELED THEIR UNEXPECTED PRESENT, INTO OUR NOW OF HISTORY?...... AND FOR OUR ABILITY TO REFLECT ON THOSE CONSEQUENCES?
Good luck, Tucker. As a viewer, I did enjoy sharing in your experiences with your public relationship, sorry that didn’t work out, and of course it’s hard when any relationship fails. I know lots of people that moved that way, and have been very happy. Good luck in your new adventures.
Taxes. I’ll never live in NJ because of high taxes.
Is there any place in the whole USA where the taxes is not high?
@@dirkhoekstra727 yes
Used to watch you while back on another account of mine and now I'm back after awhile and gone through a lot of the same stuff just in reverse. I'm moving back home from the West where I ventured out away from family and friends. We must stay strong and keep looking forward.
I've always wondered what happened between Tucker and Jackie. She was always there involved with his paramotoring. From the vids it looked like the two had the perfect life going on together. Although I noticed that she wouldn't tag along whenever tucker did a long distance travel video. IDK, people change and they were both young at the time. Honestly I'm still kind of shocked how much Tucker changed in appearance in the last 5 years or so. He was a thin shaggy haired guy who looked like a skater type. Now he's got a stash, bulked out, and to me looks more like a Firefighter type. lol.
Well this was a strange comment lol
She and Tucker did do a long trip together in the Van-mobile. All she said in one of her videos was that the break up was "a long time coming." No details from either of them, which I can respect, even though I was really curious.
I may be wrong, but I got some impression looking at them even when they were together.
She looks like she got last flames of her youth and gonna be pretty old and mature very soon and this lite irresponsible way of life will not suit her any more. Like she needs to become a mother, housewife or something. Tucker could fool around for many more years, but she doesn't look like having that energy and desire for that, so she'd probably find and build a more serious responsible relationship with someone while she still can.
I don't think that everyone must go for that family life. But somehow she doesn't look like she have that much interest in paramotoring or that lite lifestyle. It's like that moment in "The Spectacular Now (2013)" When she says "I want the future". Like she isn't happy just being together doing stupid things, like somehow she feels the gravity to pursue that boring serious responsible life like having kids, taking job and career seriously, all that boring stuff.
@@rupman27isback was it? :/
Thank you for sharing with us tucker. This honestly makes all of us more connected and makes us love our favorite paramotor pilot even more!
If you do move out west here I'll say, "Welcome to FREE AMERICA!" I've been giving some thought to leaving CO because it's being overrun by Californians who've screwed up their own state and now they're doing the same thing here. Debating between AZ and WY.
Whatever you end up doing, worry not. You are one of the best watches on the RUclips and I am sure you will be fine. Years from now, you will look back and realize what an amazing journey your life has been. (Sorry for the losses of your friends...) May God always guide you at all times. I look forward to more content in the future. Have an enjoyable holiday season. Peace.
I'm glad you're moving on Tucker. As a loyal subscriber since your Icarus days, I did enjoy your videos with Jacklyn and the bond you two seemed to share at the time. I don't know all of the details that led to the split, but I do know that being in the same area with the same places that you shared with that person can be difficult. I hope this move out west can give you a breath of fresh air and inspire you to keep chasing your dreams! Looking forward to joining in this new adventure with ya, dude!
You got this bro. You do you. Change is great. The big reset. Everything else sorts itself out. Arizona would be perfect for you. Maybe a big enough yard that you can take off and land from. Wishing you happiness
Honestly: we miss you two as "T.&J" ....this showing of sharing the passion of flying together was, what we loved so much ❤❤... this was the reason to click the follow your Channel button.
It encouraged as well as inspired my beloved and me to also get together into the sport of ppg and it was a real pleasure following Jackie abd you on YT - well it seems to have come to an end sadly...
We wish Jacky and you all the best for your individual paths of life, keep the smiles🤗✨!!
We are considering packing up and starting over too
Sounds like a hell of an adventure! wish you the best on your journey. Just be safe man! 👍🏼
Conratz on the new adventures Tuck, a new chapter in life. Thanks for YT, we could still follow you by your side and take part in your adventures.. have a good trip my friend

Tucker my hero. Been watching you since the "steak' video and you've helped me get through the lowest points of my life. Unbelievably low. but they lead to the mountain top. And it involved the best relationship you can imagine. I appreciate you so much and this is the best video ever. So - you'll be in my confident and thankful prayers - and I believe you'll soon be on the mountaintop.
Tucker I'm from/born in Toledo Ohio. Moved out here to Arizona in summer of 1983 to start Junior year in High School in Chandler. I've been here ever since. Even joined and served in the Air Force and got my first choice of station at Luke Air Force base in Glendale and was in from 1985-1989. Got out and lived in Mesa and now Phoenix. Wish you the best as you already know the weather is awesome here, Summers are a little rough but easy to shovel sunshine!!! Whatever you decide best of luck, and I'll keep watching!
Congratulations bro. I now live in Northern Utah however, I've lived all over the world and I've never regretted the adventures. Most decisions are reversible if you ever want to go back. I wish you the best of luck and I will be following your interesting journey.
