TANDEM
Training: Go
along for the ride...on a TWO MILE HIGH SKYDIVE! After about 30
minutes of training you will ride to
10,000 ft. Then firmly attached to
your instructor, you will jump wearing a parachute built for two!
After 30-plus seconds of freefall, you can pull your own ripcord
and settle in for an 8-10 minute scenic (or extreme!) ride to a
soft landing. Let us guide you through what may be the most exciting
experience of your life!
Scheduling:
All students wishing to make a tandem jump need to make an appointment.
Appointments are taken for all day on Saturdays and Sundays as well
as in the evenings on Wednesdays and Fridays. Please
plan to spend the day at the dropzoneas schedules
are sometimes altered throughout the day dependent on weather
and number of students. PLEASE NOTE: All appointments are subject
to cancellation dependent on the weather.

Weight
Limit for tandem is 235 lbs.
Tandems:
Scheduled anytime during the skydiving hours listed above!
Training: Perfect
for the do-it-yourselfer. You wear your own rig, and are responsible
for all aspects of the skydive. It
starts with the first jump course. Approximately 6 hours of training
teaches you about the equipment, how to exit the plane, how to fly
and land your canopy, and how to deal with problems. Once you are
ready to jump, you will climb to 3,000ft and exit alone. The static
line opens your parachute and you are the pilot of your own canopy,
flying to a safe landing. Ground-to-air radio assists in flying
and landing if necessary. Shortly thereafter you will advance to
freefall and "Relative Work" with experienced skydivers
doing hookups in the air!
Static
Line Progression Program:
Five static line jumps, including three practice ripcord pulls (PRCP's),
are required before advancing to free-fall. Plan your last static
line jump the same day as your first free-fall. Your free-fall progression
will be in increments of 5-10 second delays with your altitude increasing
with the longer delays. Please plan time for your jumpmaster to
debrief you on your last jump and to brief you on your next jump.
This is CRUCIAL to advancing in the sport. Beginning free-fallers
are more susceptible to malfunctions and mental errors.
Scheduling:
Classes are held in the clubhouse on Saturday mornings at 8:00 sharp
from April through October. Classes are not held
every Saturday! Please do not be late as this will delay the schedule
for all the students for the entire day. The sooner things get started
the sooner you get to skydive!

The
United States Parachute Association (USPA) issues skydiving licenses
that are recognized all over the world. It starts with your USPA
A License, which you can earn after only 25 jumps and completion
of a proficiency card signed by your instructor. Your A License
says you are a safe, competent skydiver. It allows you to rent gear
and jump at most drop zone locations in the U.S. It is also the
first stepping stone to more advanced skydiving licenses.
