    When you first arrive, you see a few tents and a small building and wonder what you have gotten yourself into. But you quickly realize that everyone on the staff is very friendly but very professional. I jumped with D'Arcy and he made me feel very comfortable and safe, constantly checking on how I was doing. I saw the instructors checking each other's equipment and that told me a lot, as well. I am 62 years old and extremely glad I did it. Thanks to Piedmont Skydiving, once I arrived I wasn't at all nervous. On the way down D'Arcy made sure I got the most out of the jump doing a few flat spins (because I asked him to) and making the time after the parachute deployed last as long as possible. I will be back next year to try the higher elevation jump.

    Omg no words can describe this experience. It was amazing, beautiful, and peaceful. Along with the rush of jumping out of a plane and free falling. I did this with my 18 year old son and a friend of mine and we all want to do it again. Josh was amazing!! I don’t know if you can request who you jump with but if possible ask for him.

    This was my 2nd jump, 1st with Piedmont and it was GREAT !! Everything about the experience was top notch. Darin was fantastic. He took the time to show me every step and kept me updated on every facet of the jump. I forgot some of the little things that happen along the way (ie: drop-down after the freefall) and that just kicked the experience up even more. I highly recommend these guys. Thanks Darin.

    This was our first time skydiving and it was my birthday present. Skye was great and explained step by step what he was doing while checking to make sure everything was tied properly. I had a great experience. I would do it again and absolutely recommend piedmont skydiving.
