When is The Best Time of Day to Skydive in Virginia?

In writing these blogs about "Skydiving in VA", I try to answer questions that we are most frequently asked. This is one question that we receive quite often. Most people are going to make one skydive as a bucket list item so they want the best experience possible. The answer to "When is The Best Time of Day to Skydive in Virginia?" really depends on the season of the year. In the months of February and March, I usually will inform people that mid afternoon is the best time of the day. These months tend to be colder so jumping during the peak warm hours of mid-afternoon is the best time. In Spring time really anytime of the day works well. The weather is nice and comfortable all day. Our sunset skydive is very popular during this season. Summer time is of course our busiest time of the year. With the warmer temperatures in the morning it is really the…

Special Moments During Skydiving

No Limits Skydiving has been a part of many special skydives. We have been a part of wedding proposals, military re-enlistments, and even spreading the ashes of a loved one. We really enjoy being a part of moments like these in peoples lives and helping them make their skydive even more special. With wedding proposals the couple will be in the plane with the person doing the asking jumping first. Their significant other will leave the airplane a minute or two later. This gives the person doing the asking time to land and place a large banner on the ground asking "Will you marry me?" It makes for a great video when flying under parachute the person is able to read the banner. Their reaction is priceless. So far everyone asked has said yes! We have been a part of a few military re-enlistments. The owner of No Limits Skydiving is ex-military so he really enjoys these. We had two brothers…

Does Skydiving Feel like a Roller Coaster?

This is another one of those questions I have been asked a hundred times. The very simple answer is NO! You do not get that roller coaster effect when skydiving. Only a Zero G Dives can cause that feeling in your stomach. Zero G is that slight pause where you go from climbing up to all of a sudden accelerating downward. With jumping from a perfectly good airplane there really is no pause. The plane is flying forward at approximately 100 mph when we make that leap. Since the plane is moving forward at such a fast rate you really don't even start falling straight down at first. When a Tandem Pair leaves the plane you actually take around 10 seconds before you reach terminal velocity. In 25 years of skydiving I have listened to people who are thinking of making a skydive that they do not like that queasy feeling they receive from a roller coaster. This is one…

Skydiving with Wingsuits

One of the most frequent questions we get at the drop zone is about Wingsuit Skydiving. With online videos showing very experienced skydivers flying close to objects such as mountains and cliffs, Wingsuit Skydiving has taken off in popularity. Wingsuits are also frequently called Squirrel suits also. Different Types of Wingsuits There are two types of Wingsuit flying. Proximity flying is where a person flies very close to the earth. This type of skydiving is very very dangerous and is only for the most experienced skydivers. Even the most skilled skydivers do not often become involved in this activity. There is very little room for error and has a very high rate of fatality. Even the best in the sport have been injured and killed doing Proximity Flying. The videos look great online but that is where they should stay in my opinion. I have nothing but respect for people who are qualified and can successfully accomplish these feats but…
