    Absolutely awesome experience with great people! I have gone twice with the Piedmont Skydiving team and they are wonderful! During both we had pop-up weather that caused delays and we felt very grateful to have a team that was concerned with our safety first over money to complete the jumps. Useful recommendation if you are going out there - bring a chair and pop-up tent for shade. The whole experience takes time and there is currently not really seating/shade for most people, so bring your own! We took a pop-up tent, chairs and a cooler with water and snacks. Those helped make the day great as we watched other jumpers while waiting for our turn! I would highly recommend this to anyone!

    Best time ever! My brother and I went for our birthdays to Piedmont Skydiving and we could not have asked for a better experience. I was with Kai and personally think he is the best. I felt that he had plenty experience and a just a tad bit of crazy to make the best experience for the first time skydive. Great job Piedmont Skydiving and Kai for making my birthday unforgettable! Loved it!

    This was my first time skydiving and I’m so glad I chose Piedmont! I was excited for the experience but also quite anxious once I arrived. All of the instructors/staff were very knowledgeable and friendly. The guys were awesome and constantly cracking jokes which helped with my anxiety and made me feel comfortable. Derrick was my instructor and I highly recommend him. He has over 7,000 jumps and is a very cool dude. We did some stalls and turns that felt like a roller coaster. The whole experience couldn’t have gone better and I had such a good time that I went ahead and purchased another jump for the near future that day. Thanks Derrick, Kai, Kyle, and everyone else at Piedmont Skydiving.
