    What a fun adventure! All the staff was enthusiastic, welcoming, and reassured me and my group that we were in great hands & how excited and fun skydiving is! Jumped for my birthday and couldn’t imagine doing anything different! They videoed things I wouldn’t have thought to include — but made the videos & images way better! Would go again for sure! Thank you Piedmont skydiving!

    Great people, Great vibes. Would recommend 10/10 My experience was amazing. Got there, filled the paperwork out and next thing I know I was in a harness. Didnt have to wait long at all to jump. Instructor was a cool dude.

    Great experience. Staff are friendly and upbeat. They make your experience very fun. The plane is larger and has a better jumping technique than I had at another location. Lots of fun but picnic tables are in the sun with no umbrellas or shade. Thanks Piedmont Skydiving!!

    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!
