    This place was amazing! It was easy and the instructors make you feel so comfortable. Kai was the man, would not want to Tandem jump with anyone else! I can not wait to go back so I can get certified to do solo jumps! Only thing make sure you are under 230 lbs before you go otherwise you will pay significantly more than your friends.

    Just had my 4th jump here and it was an incredible time. This was my second jump with Derek and he was equally as awesome. The people are great and it’s always a good time (:

    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!
