    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!

    The friendliest people, so helpful and caring about your time with them. They truly care about you enjoying your experience.
    I've watched the hawks for years wondering what it would be like to fly aloft in such peaceful quiet.
    Because of these guys I NOW NO

    This was fantastic. Everyone was so nice- employees and other jumpers alike. It was fun to interact with the other jumpers and it felt like I was with old friends. Allen, my tandem instructor, was FANTASTIC. He was incredibly positive, fun loving, and laid back. I loved the vibe and it was exactly what I was looking for. I felt that even though I was likely his 4000th jump, he did not skimp on any of the fun details that made it awesome for a first time jumper. Piedmont- 12/10! Allen- 13/10! Do yourself a favor and book a jump!! If you are reading this, you know you want to!
