    My Husband and I recently decided to take a leap and go skydiving. We decided to book with Piedmont Skydiving due to its close proximity to the Triad area. Be booked our reservation online which made it quick and easy. We called to confirm the appointment and the representative was informative and super courteous. Chris S and Dakoda were our instructors. They both were awesome and very personable which helped ease my anxiety and added to the fun of the experience. The skydiving experience was great & I believe everyone should do this at least once. It’s really not as scary as it seems. We’re already planning a group trip for October.

    This was my first jump and I was a little confused. I got it from watching others. Everyone we talked to was helpful and nice. My instructor made my jump very easy thanks JK. I would do this again and again!!! Such a great time and memory!!! I would and have told everyone to do this at least once!!! Such a joy!! You don’t freefall you float ! You don’t have any roller coaster dips either. NOTHING like you think!!!🤙🤙

    This is THE place to go for your 1st, 2nd, or 70th jump. No heavy & hot flight suits for the jump, just workout wear is suitable and snug sneakers. Everyone is extremely trained and competent with well over 5,000 jumps each per instructor...you are in good hands. It was the best thing I've ever done and I'm already itching to go back! I had Derek as a tandem partner and he was amazing,
