I’ve gone to skydiving here twice. The first time was great but the second was horrible. We went for my grandmas 80th bday so it was supposed to be a blast, but the guy I jumped with made it a terrible experience !
Right when we got paired up together he gave me a really hard time for wearing jeans and continued to poke fun at me sky diving in jeans the entire time. Then I tried to make small talk with him and said how he’s really got the best job... his response was, I live at the campground here on-site and party my ass off every night mon-fri and jump during the day. I’m living the dream.... Not exactly what I wanna hear before I jump out of a plane with a guy!
The biggest problem I had with this jump tho was the lack of communication on the game plan before jumping. He told me that he was going to put my hand on the pull lever when it was time to pull the parachute... well we jumped and he did this soon after so I asked, Should I pull?! Apparently he said not yet but at 120mph I thought he said Go Ahead! As soon as I pulled, he goes F*CKK and really made me freak out that something went wrong... he was pretty ticked off. I was asking what was wrong and he said you just blew all your free fall. He ended up cork screwing down so fast that I got sick. I had to ask him to please stop spinning so fast, which he got upset about because he said If we didn’t we would be up in the air for a half hour.
Anyways, long winded but I played it off like I had a good experience because the day was about my grandma and her skydiving experience at 80 years old! I didn’t want to make it a big issue of it but this dive was a really sucky experience. Just feel like it should be submitted on here. I hope others don’t get that same tandem partner that I got.
Only reason I give it 2 stars is because the facility is nice and the bar was fun.
