I was the tandem instructor on the jump below. I don't now how much closer I can get on a face when doing a handcam. When leaving the plane at 10k and pulling at 5 your only going to get about 30 seconds. As for student gear we do have 25 rigs and 15 different types of canopies and as for a fit it wasn't designed specifically for her body. As for the pricing she didn't go through us, she WENT THROUGH SKYRIDE!!!

My Dh's tandem was all of 30 seconds of freefall, and the Tandem master spiralled all the way down not giving him any time to enjoy the experience.
My jump was with gear that fit very poorly, they only had one set of goggles that was not tore up, and I sat there and watched there packer pack up a tandem rig totally incorrect! It was after I brought it to the attention of another guy whom worked there that he went and corrected the packer!
I also had video footage taken as a keep sake for both of our jumps....we had to call numerous times to get my Dh's video which cost us $100!!! The footage was awfull, they barely got up to where you could see his face, and it was blury.
I have yet to recieve my video and it has been over a month!
Over all this was a poor experience, with people at the end of the day who really did care about their customers.

I tell him whats going on with work. ( strange hourd etc. ) He says " come se us we'll get you in the air" so I ome to boise. call him drive out the first day to get waivered up. He offered to call some guys to ge a load together for me. again WOW!. I declined , was a long day anyway. the next day again I call late in the day....6:30 or so but just get an answeing machine, didn't leave a message figuring everyone had jumped. well about 5 or so minutes later my phone rings ...its paul! he says "were gonna make a coupla more jumps come on out" I told him not to wait since my rig was at the hotel . He tells me to go get it & come out. so I did. met some great guys. ( randy,rocky,& bob) all who had waited for me to get on the sunset load. what a great skydive !!! nothing overly spectacular (unless you like beautiful scenery & clean crisp air). THANX again Paul & Denise. ya wanna a great skydive experience in Idaho...visit skydown. I will again....probably tomorrow ;)

Good Times at Skydown

Rated by: graceful1 on 2003-08-11 (user profile) (user reviews)

Review of: Skydown Sport Skydiving
Pros: There's ALWAYS someone ready to jump!
Cons: Can't get my inlaws to join the fun

I've jumped at the other places in the valley and even in the Seattle area and had the best experience at Skydown. They are equiped with a bigger plane all year round which makes the ride up much more comfortable and the exit a lot easier.
I've brought friends and clients out to do tandem jumps. Their video crew is simply amazing! Skydown accomodated us at night for a sunset jump when no other drop zone would.
The people are very informative and willing to help. Their contageous excitement and eagerness to jump makes this the best drop zone in the valley.
