Happy New Year to Virginia Skydivers !!

Happy New Year to all our skydiving staff, customers, and family. We had a great staff party New Years Eve night and everyone is looking forward to the start of the season. After a busy 2017 skydiving season we are enjoying a month of down time till opening day. We are adding a couple of special items this year for our customers. Jumping from a plane does kind of make you a superhero, so we thought it's only best to dress like one. When doing a Tandem Skydive, you will now have a choice of Superhero Costumes for your jump! How cool is that? We will have Batman, Ironman, Wonder Women, and Superman. Of course Batman will be (or should be) everyone's favorite. Pick which costume you would like before your skydive! We will of course be giving FREE popsicles to everyone that does a tandem skydive with us. They are always a favorite, and nothing beats a popsicle after…

Skydiving in VA in 2018

We are super excited for the upcoming skydiving season! We are closed for the winter and will open back up the second Saturday in February. Starting Feb 10, 2018, we are then open 7 days a week. We then close again for winter on Dec 8th, 2018. In getting ready for our opening date all the equipment has been sent of for a complete inspection. This includes each parachute system and all of our planes. EVERYTHING goes through an meticulous inspection process and repairs are done where needed. We send our skydiving containers to Strong Enterprises where they go thru a 12-point inspection and any repairs are made to have them in perfect working order for Virginia's 2018 skydiving season. All of our airplanes are also sent off for an FAA mandatory annual inspection. This is required by the Federal Government of all aircraft that are used for commercial operations. Most of our staff have been with us for over…

Skydiving Parachutes

We often get questions about the cost and material of the parachutes we use. I thought I would share some basic info about the gear we use for skydiving. Parachute systems vary as much as cars do. There are all different sizes and configurations. They are so varied that it would take a 20 page essay to go into all the details about each type. In this blog I will give our readers a little more info about the parachutes we use to Tandem Skydive in Virginia. With Tandem Skydiving there are two people suspended under the parachute system, the instructor and the customer. Of course with two people there is added weight so the square footage of our canopy is much larger than it would be for a single skydiver. Tandem parachutes are also usually designed to not be as high performance as a single skydivers parachute. Think of a Tandem Parachute flying over Virginia as a large safe…

Skydiving Weather

One of the most frequent questions we are asked is about the weather for the day of their skydive. Yes, weather can effect if we will be skydiving that day or not. We try to not make a decision to cancel skydives until the night before, due to weather forecast being so inaccurate more then 24 hours out. Weather that we will cancel skydiving activities is for what I call "Winnie the Pooh" days. Days where it is just a soaking rainy day and you really don't even leave the house. Unless of course its to go see a movie but really nothing outdoors. We will also cancel if they are calling for really windy days where the winds are blowing up to 20 mph. On windy days we will usually give the customers the option to change their jump time to later in the day. Wind speed will usually slow down toward the end of the day. If you…

Skydive for your Birthday!

People decide to jump from a perfectly good airplane for many reasons. I always ask people what made them decide to make the big plunge so to speak. By far the number one answer is their Birthday. There is no better way to celebrate their special day then have an awesome adventure at No Limits Skydiving. This week a young lady came alone for her Tandem Skydive at our West Point location. She said it was for her 40th birthday and she wanted to celebrate her one year of cancer free along with turning a major milestone age. She explained that she has had a rough few years and that the disease of cancer made her open her eyes to making the most of life. She told us she had finally made a trip to South America that she always had wanted. Now she wanted to make a skydive. I love these type of skydives. Being able to share a…
