    This was the second time my husband and I went skydiving at Piedmont and it was fantastic! Josh and Derek were great and made us very comfortable and took us for a great ride. We of course bought a voucher for our next jump! I’m hooked! Can’t wait until next time! 🤘🏿

    I did a tandem jump here, my first time skydiving, and had an incredible time. My instructor, Matt, was an absolute legend and really made the jump an awesome experience.

    We're do I start I have never thought of sky diving and then it was suggested by a friend .. I took the offer and we were off I was told it would be a 1 hour class before the course but when I arrived they checked me in and my sky diving guy by the awesome name of Nate came and said the lesson starts when we get in this plane lol I purchased the social media package so I had video and 80 pics and when I tell you it was a experience I will never forget so well worth it to ease the tensions of the world today so this my people is 1 of many adventures planned to start a positive path for 2020 I have so many to go!! Thank you Piedmont sky diving for this exhilarating experience your staff was the best

    I had the best time! The staff was absolutely awesome! Derek (my instructor) was very personable and funny and he made the experience less terrifying than I thought it would be. I am definitely jumping again!! Thanks Piedmont, I'll be back!!

    Outstanding day at Piedmont from start to finish, from the gate to the sky and back down again. Sky was my instructor . And he was a perfect guide for my jump. Super chill, knowledgeable, and we got radical but I never once for a second felt unsafe. We were celebrating my stepson's high school graduation and entry to the Marine Corp with his first jump. Chris, his instructor, was the perfect match for my son. Again so kind, patient, and so friendly. The attitude among our instructors and the staff was so warm and just wanted us to have fun and enjoy the experience all while making us feel safe. My family wants to say thank you to Sky and Chris and the rest of the staff. We're ready to swoop again Blue skies Rodney
