We have a diverse group of personaliites, professions, & ages that love skydiving, while others are still thinking about it, and that's ok too. Some of us are adrenaline junkies, others just want to know if flying in reality feels the same as it does in your dreams. Only you can answer that, but you should know, that some of us actually know why the birds sing.

Meet people who love adventure. Try a tandem skydive, where you're physically attached to a professional instructor by a harness. You'll receive approx 20 mins of training before you hop into a turbine aircraft w/ your instructor and a video guy if you request one. I highly recommend a video.

Exit the plane at 13500 ft, experience spins and turns in freefall at approx 120 mph. (You can request no spins) Once you reach 5000 ft your instructor will open the parachute and you'll see your video guy dropping before your eyes so that he can video your landing.

You'll spend approx $200-$300 depending on the size of the group and how often you jump. Tips are suggested, but are not required.

Wear sneakers and loose fitting pants/shorts. You'll be wearing a jump suit.

Req: 18+ yrs old & no more than 220 lbs

Want to attend?

This event is being organized by Wayne Douchkoff, one of our licensed skydivers. Just like any event we schedule, licensed solo skydivers and those ready to go tandem are welcome to rsvp. By the way, Wayne is licensed but not as an instructor.....The tandem jump will be with one of Skydive City's licensed instructors.

If you haven't been yet, come meet people who love adventure. Read more
