I just wanted to write and let y'all know I thought my experience was
awesome. Never in my life have I had such a thrill. I am planning on adding
skydiving to my budget!!! Reid really made my experience memorable. He
kept me calm during the flight (which was the worst part) by explaining
exactly what would be happening and when. Your well  trained
and expert staff are terrific. I look forward to my first solo!!!!

What a rush!!! Better than "anything I did" back in my college days, and
all natural!!!! After my three jumps yesterday and graduating from the
AFF program, I was pumped to the max. I didn't sleep much last night as
I was re-living the jumps over and over in my mind. Thanks to all of you
for the support, encouragement, superb instruction and professionalism.
From day one I have never doubted my safety in your program. Your staff
and associates are first class. I now live to skydive... party on.

I had a BLAST - so much so that I'm planning to return with a girlfriend
of mine (she's actually jumped with you guys too). We were thinking about
one of the "special" jumps! ;-) I'm not sure I remember my instructors name
- I think it was Reid? If you can, tell him Sherry (the "conservative" one
who got us extra free fall) and a friend are coming back next week.

I thought you might find it amusing to know that, after having a great time
on my first skydive Saturday and coming through without even so much as
a pulled muscle, I went horseback riding the next day (something I've been
doing for 30+ years), broke my nose and ended up in the ER. So much for
definitions of dangerous sports! Thanks for a GREAT experience! I'll definitely
be back!

Thanks for the great memories. Our group of 8 this past Saturday morning
at 7:00 a.m. had an incredible time. We found your staff to be most helpful
and professional. I never imagined that jumping out of an airplane could
have such a positive effect on my state of mind. You will see us again.
Keep up the good work.

I just got back from my trip down south , and wanted to let you know how
much I enjoyed my time at the skydiving center . Your facilities were clean
and very comfortable, great packing conditions. The king Air , is quite
a impressive plane ,  having
never jumped one (BEER), I was shocked how fast we got to altitude (14,900
ft wow). The thing that impressed me the most about my stay at the skydiving
center was the people , I know the south has been long known for their warm
people , but the overall kindness and openness that was shown to me during
my short stay was something I won't forget. You have a great DZ , and I
hope to visit again real soon , as well as recommending your DZ to anyone.

I just wanted to say thank you for the opportunity to have jumped out of
a perfectly good airplane. It was the most Amazing experience of my entire
life!! I have always been a thrill seeker, and this one definitely has been
the best so far. Your friendly staff and instructors made me feel completely
safe at all times. I remember feeling very nervous when I first arrived,
but by the time I was called to jump, my instructor Mike had me feeling
completely at ease, so much so that we even did flips coming out of the
plane! (I highly recommend this!) I have told everyone I know about you
center and my jump. I will be back with several others! I look forward to
seeing y'all again soon. Thank you again for the experience of a lifetime!

Just wanted to say thanks for a spectacular time and jump. It was the best
experience of my life so far. Please tell Steve "Smash" Linton that the
video was great as well. I have many people interested in coming up to experience
Skydiving. I can't stop talking about it or showing the video-even at work!

Hey guys what's up? Yesterday I had the privilege of jumping for the first
time, and let me tell you, that is the most incredible thing I've done in
my life. I thought about it and talked about it all day long today and I
think I'll do so for the next several days too. The first time I went there
Chris Stevens took me, but we couldn't finish the jump for weather reasons
this was about 2 years ago. I JUST WANT TO TELL YOU GUYS THAT " YOU ROCK
" and I can't wait to DO IT AGAIN !!!!!

I was at your facility to skydive this past Sunday and had the most enriching
experience of my life! I was totally impressed with the professionalism
of the whole operation and have highly recommended you to everyone I come
int o
contact.I jumped with Mark. He, along with everyone else on the plane, made
the whole experience wonderful. There was humor, which relaxed me and made
the video quite an interesting one for anyone who has viewed it, and trust
me it has been a lot of people. Anyone who may have had any apprehensions
about skydiving have been sucked in by the video. Hopefully I can bring
a group the next time I come. I work at Parisian and they even showed the
video at a manager's meeting! Quite embarassing to me considering the funny
slide in landing but thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. I wanted to tell Trey
that all 24 pictures came out and were fabulous! And Mark, I can't begin
to tell you the number of women who want to jump just seeing you in the
video. Their favorite comment - "I would love to be attached to him." If
you are looking for a relationship, I have a number of girls who would be
waiting in line, my daughter included. All in all - very professional and
very impressive!! I am saving my pennies to come back. I am still flying
high!!!!! Thank you all for the safety and the experience of a lifetime.
What a great culmination to my first 50 years of life! I will be back........
Greg Tigerman
I still get adrenaline rushes.......I just wish they would come at times
other than 3.am.:) Tony ,Kelly, Pepsi and I really had a great time and
it will always be one of the top experiences of my life. We are interested
in attending your school we are trying to coordinate schedules right now.
We will be in touch about our next jump! I have shown my video to scores
of people and the response has been very favorable. I believe the next time
we come we will have at least 4 new divers and possibly as many as 10. I
took a couple of frames and had them blown up into poster size pictures
and they really do generate lots of conversation. Again thanks for everything
and we will be in touch.
Denise Haney
I have to tell you again what an AWESOME experience that was!!!! I have
shown my video to everyone (including all my Jazzercise students) and told
all of them about your Skydiving Center, you will see many of them soon.
I'm still working on my husband to try it and two of my three kids want
to come, so I'm sure we'll be seeing more of y'all. I want to do it again
and would love to take the steps to soloing, but have to see where finances
are at the beginning of the year. Thanks again and look for a bunch of us
in the future - I'm telling everyone!!!

Just wanted to thank everyone at the skydiving center for making my first
skydive a wonderful experience. Things couldn't have gone smoother and I
hope to be jumping with you again real soon. Man 15,800 feet above the ground
is a long way up.
Carrie Clark
I did my first jump this past Saturday, May 27th, as part of my boyfriend,
Gary Cleaver's, 40th birthday present. You guys may remember me, I am the
one that had the extraordinary fear of heights. In fact, I wouldn't fly
anywhere for the past ten years because of it. But thanks to my Tandem Jumpmaster,
talking me through the entire experience, I actually did it and I loved
it! I was extremely nervous as I was climbing into the plane. I thought
I must be mental to be doing this. But now that I did it and I have the
video to play over and over again, I am completely hooked. I have an addiction
to skydiving and I am heading back there in one month when I come back to
Atlanta to visit Gary. He is completing his levels 6 and 7. Everyone that
has seen  my
video can't believe that I actually did it due to my fear of heights. I
just smile and reply, "Yeah, it's unbelievable, isn't it?" If I can skydive,
anyone can. You guys made it so comfortable and it all went so smooth that
I can't wait to get back up in the sky again. And Cary...I hope you are
with Gary on his 7th jump. I know you will take care of him for me. See
you guys in a month!
Mary Gibeau
I just wanted to share with you that I had the most incredible experience
yesterday! Never have I been so in awe of God's creation. I had an awesome
tandem instructor-his name was Mike (I don't have his last name). He was
great and made my jump that much more fun. I absolutely can't wait to go
again. Thanks for everything!

Gentlemen, I could not have had a better time. Your concern and professionalism
made the adventure even better. Yes, I will most assuredly continue on the
7 jump program so that I can jump safely by myself. Skydiving is much more
than I thought it was. Thank you again and if I can ever serve as a reference,
please do not hesitate to use me. 770-985-9955 voice with voice mail

I would like to express my sincere gratitude for making my first skydiving
experience an exciting and enjoyable event. By far it was the best thrill
I have ever experienced and the adrenaline rush was unbelievable. I have
never experienced so many emotions (fear, excitement, joy, nervousness)
at one time. The video and photos done on the day of my visit were extremely
well done and I am enjoying them with my friends and family. Even though
I comment about not being afraid during the video shoot......I must admit
I was a little nervous as is evident by the look on my face during the plane
ascent......okay maybe I came off as a little cocky during the video shoot.
 LOL
! :) Nevertheless, the level of hospitality and professionalism I encountered
put all of my fears to rest. I would like to especially thank my tandem
jumpmaster for playing such a vital role with this. He was very thorough
and made the experience much more enjoyable. I would like to apologize for
not being able to view the video with you and your staff due to time constraints,
however, I will bring the video during my next visit. There are some pretty
funny moments during the video especially when my tandem jumpmaster man
handles me by removing my hand from the door of the aircraft just before
we exit. Can you believe that guy had the nerve to do that ! LOL ! Just
kidding. In all seriousness he was absolutely great. I would like to inform
you that I do plan on attending the accelerated course and will contact
you next week to inquire about details. Thank you again and I look forward
to seeing you soon !!!!
Sheila Haigler
I wanted to write and tell you how much I enjoyed my first skydive. I recently
attended the Skydive Minneapolis on June 4 and made my first tandem
jump. It was such an adrenaline rush. I loved it so much that I hope to
be back before too long and bring some friends with me. I would like to
thank my tandem instructor, Danny, for such a great first skydive. Not to
forget the awesome job that Steve did on videoing my first jump. Thanks
guys for such a great experience.

Thanks for your email. It was an incredible experience that I am definitely
planning on doing again! Also, thanks for putting me on your email list;
I would be interested in learning about upcoming events, etc. I've had the
pictures of my first skydive developed, and they turned out really good.
I must say that I was very impressed with my video also. Anyway, thanks
for an experience that words cannot describe. I'll be in touch.
Bruce Holden
I just wanted to drop you a line to thank you again for your assistance
in making my first skydive a very enjoyable, successful, positive, and extremely
memorable experience I look forward to repeating in October. I was so wore
out last night from my adrenaline high that I've never been more relaxed.
I also look forward to developing life long friendships with other skydivers.
My wife has no interest in the sport but so far she seems to be supportive,
although in a conservative way. One weekend a month is all she's willing
to allow for now. When I retire from the reserves, that may have to change.
What do other non-interested spouses do while their  skydiver
spouses are playing? Right now I'm planning on completing my level 2 & 3
on the 16th of October. I've been practicing my dive flow by going through
the motions and calling them out as I do them. I know I have to do better
each time in order to pass each level and I've set my mind to do just that.
I want to earn my certification and enjoy the sport safely and not be a
hazard to other skydivers. I appreciate yours and Gene's positive reinforcement
and the confidence you all are building in me. That is a big plus I will
tell all my friends about as I describe my exciting,  adrenaline
packed experience! I especially appreciate and remember the ride up to 14,800
feet. I was impressed that you were paying attention to what I was doing
and that you took the time to ensure I was at ease and sure I wanted to
jump. Then you asked me to go through what I was going to do during the
jump. I was completely mentally prepared by the time we reached our spot.
My first jump taught me more about myself and also that a Jumpmaster is
an exceptionally experienced and skilled individual who can be trusted with
your life. Actually, I had no doubt about the trust part even before we
boarded the plane. You're an excellent instructor and I look forward to
learning more as I continue my addiction with skydiving. I hope you are
able to debrief me on my 2nd and 3rd levels and sign my logbook. PARTY ON
GARTH! LET'S SKYDIVE!!! |
