    I would 12/10 recommend Piedmont Skydiving! Especially Kyle 👌 He was great, super personable, would answer any question, and I always felt safe with him. My friend had a great time too on her second jump with them. All around a super welcoming place. I think that everyone that can jump, should jump - I'm hooked. Likely the best Wednesday I've had! #justcallmeCasey

    Allen was amazing. He was so fun and made my first experience personal- from letting me pick the parachute to giving great advice to make the jump extra fun. I appreciated his laid back manor and as we rode in the plane. I surprisingly was not nervous and I appreciated that he rolled with that and shared his fun personality and made the whole time fun, casual, and like I was with a group of old friends. 10/10 for sure!

    From the perspective of an experienced jumper, I prefer this Dropzone over Skydive Carolina for sure. The staff is more friendly and not as obsessed milking experienced jumpers for every dime. Skydive Carolina would have milked me for $100ish for a currency jump, whereas Piedmont just wanted to get me in the air! Went on a Monday and there were enough sport jumpers to get the Kingair up, which is nice.

    Second tandem jump last Sunday. An extremely enjoyable experience! Josh was great to jump with. Second time is much more enjoyable than the first because you know what to expect and can relax and truly enjoy. There's just nothing that compares. Perfect experience.
