    Awesome! If you are even considering skydiving, Piedmont is the place to visit. The entire staff (instructors, office, packers, etc) will make you feel welcomed and right at home. Be prepared for lots of smiles and laughs with this group.

    I have been jumping at Piedmont as a licensed skydiver and my wife is about to begin her training as she loved her Tandem skydive

    It was a thrill of a lifetime to share my 6th jump out of a perfectly good airplane on my 60th Birthday with my son, Andrew, age 23. As we used to say in the Army, I'm no longer a "5 jump chump" but now have 5 Army static line jumps and the amazing free fall with Piedmont Skydiving. Thanks to Derek, age 25, my awesome tandem free fall professional. It's the only way to fly!. Great video editing too. Pay the extra for it. My only regret was my son's legs look better than mine!

    Piedmont Skydiving (Salisbury, NC) staff made my first ever experience about a 100 out of 10! The skydiving itself was amazing. The staff was just as awesome…from checking in for my appointment, to meeting my 1st tandem instructor, Skye. He is energetic, personable, & funny. I decided to follow up my 1st jump with an encore. Derek took me up and I did my 1st ever high-altitude jump and it was double the fun! Derek made it a wonderful experience. He was just as excited for me as I was. He went out of his way to tell me things from a technical standpoint once he found out I was interested in getting licensed. I would be doing their student program soon if not for my busy work schedule. I highly recommend this place ‼️
