    Jumping at Piedmont was a great experience! Matt was so personable & made my jump so memorable! So many laughs were exchanged. I was extremely nervous and Matt kept reassuring me that I was brave! All of the staff members were friendly and did a fantastic job. I highly recommend Piedmont! :))

    I had the best skydiver instructor with me. His name is Allen. When you say someone who can interact and take away your fears….. Yes! Allen is your man! He was fun and very informative with everything we were doing. He made me laugh and kept me involved the whole time. Even when I started having the jitters, Allen gave me more confidence in the dive. I’m definitely going back to skydive with Allen again. Thank you so much for an immaculate experience. I loved every second of the dive. Can’t wait to see you again for my next dive.

    Skydiving was on my bucket list and I am glad I chose Piedmont Skydiving for helping me accomplish that check mark. From start to finish, the whole group knew how to ease your anxiety or fear of jumping. I had the opportunity to jump with Derek. He was awesome. He explained/demonstrated all the steps and made the experience so much more enjoyable. The actual jump was way more amazing than you can imagine. I am very glad I chose to do this.

    This was my 2nd jump with this crew and it was another unforgettable experience. I was slightly less anxious this time but it was still intense. My jump instructor Derek was super chill, thorough & reassuring with over 6,000 jumps logged. If you've never gone skydiving before, you owe it to yourself to go tandem jumping at least once in your life. It's natural to be nervous AH, but a couple seconds after taking the plunge, it fades into surrealness when you feel yourself become one with gravity - the wind resistance is pleasantly deafening and after the chute opens, you get to enjoy the slow glide back down to mother earth. Once your feet are back on the ground, you're immersed in a euphoric wave of adrenaline and wonderment that you wish could last forever. You'll be daydreaming about it for a looooong time ???????????? I can't wait for #3!

    Excellent first skydiving experience with Piedmont Skydiving. My husband and I both LOVED our instructors Frank and Derek. They were really knowledgeable but also really fun which helped keep us from getting too nervous. I would definitely recommend Piedmont Skydiving and I would jump with them again in the future.
