BEST TIME OF MY LIFE!

This was my first skydiving experience and the most exhilarating experience in my life. I drove from Columbus because after reading reviews, this was the number one place to do it. Upon entering, the staff was extremely down to earth, everyone was so welcoming and hospitality was within all of the staff. Gila was awesome. He was very thorough at explaining what was going to happen to me, repeating, and just making me feel comfortable. He was hilarious too, and really took the edge off all the nervous/excited/anxious energy I was feeling. I wish the facility had more to do while killing time, we arrived about 3, and didn't jump until 7! (due to gusty winds) but everyone was nice and I got to know the instructors/staff just because we were all stuck on the ground :) I'd do it again in a heartbeat. You have to get a video!

Gila, my lead jumper was absolutely amazing. He was professional, told me what to do, made sure I was comfortable, but also made sure I had a great time. If it is your first time I highly suggest asking for him!

Gila (Scott) was great. He's a cool guy who is really good at informing you of what to expect and is very helpful along the way. He made the experience way better. Cory (my videographer/photographer) did a perfect job of staying in front and close to me when in the air, allowing him to get good video and photos. Cory's cool and easy to get along with. Both these guys added to my experience and were fun to hang out with.

I did a tandem jump with Lonnie, it was the best experience of my life! Everyone at start skydiving was very laid back and professional. My buddy and I scheduled our jump went the next day and was greeted by a very fun professional group of people who are enthusiastic about their job. They took us into the hanger after manifesting and it wasn't busy so Lonnie and Gila talked to us before our jump. It made me so much less nervous. Lonnie even continued on the ride up and we jumped and had a BLAST! Thanks Guys!

This was my fifth time skydiving. I had Jonny Stewart as an instructor this time as well as my previous visit.

He is the best tandem jumper you can ask for.
Thanks Jonny!
