I made my second tandom and first Static Line jump at High Sky Adventures on 08/21/2005. I showed up with 3 friends. 2 of us did 2 jumps and 2 did only tandems. 1ST off the safety is of #1 importance here!!! With skips class he REALLY informs you of what you have to know in detail. Yes, you have a test at the end and you better have been listening. This guy even has flashcards so you better be ready. Don't think it stops at the end of the class. Everyone checks and rechecks everything. Then it all gets checked again. No joke. You can set your mind at ease and be asured you're jumping with friends. The staff and other skydivers are so friendly. By the end of the day (OH YEAH, I SPENT ALL DAY) you know everyones name and feel like you've been jumpping with everyone for years. You feel like part of the family. You get a chance to talk shop and bump elbows with some REAL PROS. To my GREAT surprize alot of them are females too! Ladies, feel no pressure here as you will have plenty of company. Everyone is so helpful and they keep you informeed at all times. The King Air is fast and gets you up to elevation in no time. The static line jump was from the Cessna 206 Turbo that made it so easy on me. The pilots are GREAT and get you right over the DZ. I jumped tandem with a licensed jumper who was REALLY informative. Steve N. showed me the plane goodbye then pointed out the MOUNTIAN VIEWS like no other. He even let me steer and help with the landing glide path to help me with my upcoming static line jump. Then he finished the landing and put us right in the nice soft pea gravel for a PERFECT LANDING! Oh Yeah, GET THE VIDEO! Randy and the other camera crew are so good. They give killer video and really show attention to all the details. Randy was also my radio man for my static line jump. He talked me through all the steps and made sure I stayed right on track. He glided me in and told me when to stall so the landing was VERY smooth. I just can't say enough GREAT THINGS about the staff and people at High Sky Adventures. I'll be back and I will be telling evryone I can about this wonderful DZ!
