    Oh my! The best day ever! Gave skydiving to our son for his 18th birthday. I got to go with him. An experience like no other. I have always wanted to do it. Honestly was a little nervous but our instructors were great! We were both on such a high after our jump that it took all day to come down!! Great videos and pictures. It is truly an experience that we will treasure forever! We keep high fiving and knuckle bumping every time we see each other. I would not trade that experience with my son for anything in this world! Hope to get to go again when my youngest turns 18! Thanks so much to our instructors for making us feel safe and letting us fly!!!!

    Bought the experience for my mom for her 65th birthday. Her brother came down (who turned 68 the day before her birthday) and he decided to jump with her. They had a GREAT time. Josh who jumped with my mom and Derek; I think was the guy who jumped with my uncle were both awesome!! The whole process was smooth and everyone was friendly. They both are ready to do it again.

    I jumped with Allen and he was great I will definitely ask for him the next time I do it. The rest of the crew from start to end was amazing and did a awesome job.

    Nothing but good things to say about these guys! My wife and I decided to cross skydiving off of our bucket list. The staff were super friendly when we showed up and made is feel right at home. We met our instructors, got suited up and headed to the runway. Incredible experience with Kyle. The whole outfit is top notch. We had such a good time we went ahead and booked our next jump before we left that day. You wont be disappointed.

    I celebrated my 80th birthday by making a tandem parachute jump with Piedmont Skydiving on September 19th. It was a perfect jump. The weather was mostly clear, the instructor was knowledgeable and professional. Kyle had years of experience and put me at ease with his expertise. I am an old Airborne trooper and noticed all the instructors’ demeanor: friendly and reasonable, but giving expert guidance. The plane appeared to be well maintained, had a powerful engine and the flight was smooth all the way up to 13,000 feet. The jump was an exhilarating experience and the parasail was a huge improvement over the combat parachutes I used in the Army. Great experience and I recommend Piedmont Skydiving if you are feeling adventurous!
