    The office and skydiving team are friendly, reassuring and personable, joking but making you feel comfortable with what may be the scariest but most exciting experience of your life! All sorts of characters and bucket listers, a people watchers atmosphere, this is an all day adrenaline high you won’t soon forget! I did flips right out of the plane then flew fast in my tandem jump until we pulled the rip cord, and glided down, with some spins and coasting for memories with my son and lifelong friend... Recommend long pants, no matter the time of year, since you will be landing likely on yiur bottom in a field... Awesome experience, loved it!!!!

    This experience is SO worth it. I highly recommend it. It was something I had always wanted to do. My 60th birthday was my motivation to get it done. I smiled the whole way. I've ridden so many roller coasters throughout my life I was never one bit nervous. You don't have to do any of the work. You just go along for the ride. And what a ride it is- from start to finish. Such a thrill!

    This was my first jump and it was awesome! All of the staff demonstrated perfect customer service. My tandem partner Jess was amazing. I will definitely do it again and recommend Piedmont Skydiving to everyone.

    Piedmont was the place I made my first jump a year ago and this year I made it my 6th and 7th jump. The company has grown and they have more team members, and both experiences for me were amazing! They have fun and make sure you do too, while being safe!

    I went to Piedmont Skydiving on 7-23-20. It was an absolutely amazing experience. The staff were the friendliest and most professional people I have had the pleasure of dealing with. I made 2 jumps and absolutely loved it. Allen was my instructor and he was great. I would recommend Piedmont Skydiving to anyone wanting to experience this amazing sport. Thank you guys for making this a perfect experience. I will be back ????
