Skydiving For a Living

What it's Like to Tandem Skydive as a Career One of the hardest things in life is deciding what you want to be when you grow up. I never in a million years would have thought it possible I could get paid to jump from airplanes.  If someone had told me when I was 16 that I'm going to be a professional skydiver, I would have thought they were crazy. The first time I stepped out of an airplane I knew that I had found my passion. To be able to turn that passion into a career has been beyond amazing. I cant tell you how many times I have heard from customers how lucky I am to be a professional skydiver. I always love to hear that because it makes me know how much they loved their skydive with us. Full-Time Skydivers As much as I love skydiving, I love being able to share the sky with first time…

Tandem Skydiving Safety Precautions This is a question we often get asked, so thought it would make a great subject to talk about. Skydiving is on the Bucket List of most people with a sense of adventure. Of course jumping from planes does carry a certain amount of risk but let me share some of the ways that No Limits Skydiving minimizes those risks. We belong to a organization called the United States Parachute Association. This is a membership of skydivers that regulates how drop zones in the United States must conduct operations. They mandate everything from how often parachutes must be inspected to who is allowed to be a Skydiving Instructor. Here are some of the details: All Reserve Parachutes must be inspected every 160 days. They must be inspected and repacked by a certified rigger.

Demonstration Skydiving

Special Event Skydiving Throughout the Country Demonstration Skydiving or "Demo Skydiving" is where skydivers perform for a audience at special events. These events can be NASCAR Races, Professional Football Games, airshows, or any special activity.  Usually the skydivers will be asked to bring in a American Flag the Game Ball, or some other special item. Many times the skydivers will land in with smoke for special effects. Skydivers landing at a sporting event is a great way to get the crowd fired up for the start.
