Gila was the best. I was so nervous, but everyone was so friendly that it made me ready! I want to go solo, but maybe after a couple more tandem jumps.... Lol

We (my daughter and I) had an awesome time. Everyone was very professional but at the same time the atmosphere was very fun and exhilarating. John (instructor) and Rob (photographer) really put me at ease for my first jump. It was gggreat!

This was my first time skydiving and I am sure it won't be my last! The experience was amazing and I was a lot calmer than I thought I would be. My tandum partner ... Trev or Trevor (can't read his writing, but he was the Aussie) was amazing. He went through what I needed to do several times, did calm breathing with me and made me super comfortable. He deserves more beer! I would recommend to anyone!

By far one of the greatest things I have ever done! Adam was my instructor and he made sure I was confident and had plenty of knowledge on proper skydiving. Even the staff members other than my instructor were making sure I was motivated and ready to jump. Overall it was an awesome experience and the people, the atmosphere, and the services were great!

First time skydiver. Took my dad who is 60+. Had Matt and Tags as our instructors and these guys are awesome, as is the rest of the staff that we met on our jump. Everyone makes you feel at ease while also making sure you enjoy the experience as much as possible. The bottom line you are insane if you DON'T go skydiving here.

My daughters decided to take me skydiving for my 43rd birthday/Father's Day present. What a great gift! I have always talked about skydiving and they, along with the great staff at Start Skydiving in Middletown, Ohio made it happen. I got to jump with my 20 year old daughter, which made it even more special. It was an unforgettable experience and I can't wait to jump again next year with my now 17 year old daughter. My instructor, Monkey or Monkey Lip (I'm sure there is a story behind his nickname but I didn't ask), was top notch. He kept me informed of what as was happening every step of the way and answered all of my questions...most of all we had fun! Rob did an excellent job with the pictures and videos as well. If you are considering making the jump, I highly recommend using Monkey Lip, Rob, and the entire staff at Start Skydiving. I can't wait to go back!

This Saturday was my first time skydiving and now I can say that this is something everyone should experience at least once in their lives. That being said I can not imagine going some place else for your first time. The staff was completely professional and the equipment seemed to be well maintained. My tandem instructor Gila helped me to build my confidence before getting on the plane by displaying a wealth of knowledge and professionalism. On the way up Gila even helped Mustache Man calm down my girlfriend before her first jump which is impressive considering how anxious she can get. In the end I can say that this was a life changing experience worth every single penny. I'm currently budgeting now to save up for another jump before the end of the year. See ya soon Middletown!

There's no better place to start skydiving

I took my first jump course here at Start less than a month ago, and within these 20 short days, I can honestly say that I have experienced more of life than I ever have in 21 years.

Now, a quick disclaimer for those who might ride these comments off as cheesy, over-exaggerated, or the product of an adrenaline rush: I know my body has physically been through some crazy stuff in the past couple of days (aka free falling through the sky from altitudes above 12,000 ft) but I can attest to the fact that my head has never been on straighter.

Learning to experience the joy of skydiving from the incredible individuals here at Start is incomparable to any community I have so far heard of or been blessed enough to call my own. Everyone from the instructors, to the videographers, the packers, team members, to the wonderful ladies at manifest, the management, the pilots, the drivers, other students, and even the kids of skydivers will show you what it means to feel safe, supported, and--wait for it-- what it truly means start living your life.

I know I know, it doesn't really get sappier than this, but I'm pretty sure the exploding sense of happiness I feel in my chest every day here at the drop zone isn't an early sign of the onset of heart palpitations due to an over consumption of Red Bull. My constant need to pinch myself to make sure this isn't just a dream (because no one could ever be so lucky) even when doing mundane things like watching someone else untangle lines while packing a canopy or seeing a smiling face on bathroom runs in between jumps is indicative of how truly amazing the experience is here at Start.

So what I could have said in lesser words is this: START SKYDIVING. Do a tandem! Get your family and friends to do it with you!
And no matter what your reservations about this amazing sport may be, know that you will be well taken care of here because if you've found Start, you are the luckiest of them all.

It was more exciting then expected!

This was my first experience in skydiving. My tandem instructor/partner was Monkey who did an excellent job of explaining everything and made my first skydiving experience one that has be wanting to do it again. Everything went as expected and I really enjoyed pulling the tether straps to which turned us in different directions as we descended. The video was a little blurred at the beginning for the first few minutes and was able to refocus prior to the jump and during the jump. All still photos were excellent and had no blurred pictures. I would highly recommend Start Skydiving to anyone who has this on their bucket list!

This experience was awesome and I'm already recommending start skydiving to all my friends and colleagues. My instructor John Garrido was really friendly, knowledgable and informative which made the whole experience unforgettable.
