    First time Jumper! Wait no more, today is your day and this is the team to work with! I jumped with instructor Derek, he and all of the instructors were laid back, made jokes and his mere presence assured me it was all going to be fine. I was given instructions for the jump and was always mentally prepared. But more importantly, your first jump is for fun, you have a trained, certified, professional who has your back.....literally. They focus on safety, you focus on thrill. Get pictures and video, they help to remind you and others, how awesome you are! Would I do it again? I went back the next day!

    What an amazing day! My brother and I went for our first time, and the crew couldn't have been more friendly and accommodating. Darcy was a great 2nd man, and the communication with Mel was spectacular! Would highly recommend!

    Hey, so this is wild. 😉 had the best time ever jumping with Piedmont this weekend. It was my first time, along with my two best friends. Daniel, my instructor, was phenomenal/comforting and literally made the experience so easy. Booking my next jump already! 10/10 recommend to anyone who is going for the first time… and we may have also gotten tattoos right after, oops
