My First Skydive

I have been involved with skydiving for 26 years. My first jump was at the age of 20 while in the military. Many years since that first jump, 26 years to be exact, I still remember that first skydive. The anticipation of my first skydive kept me awake all night. Of course, as soon as I woke up I was super excited. My main concern was being concerned about how I would perform. Skydiving was a bit different when I started,  most jumps were Static Line Skydives instead of Tandem Jumps.  Tandem Skydiving is a much better way to make your first skydive. You are attached to a certified instructor with thousands of jumps. With Tandems you are able to relax and allow the experienced instructor handle the skydive while you soak up the experience. For days before my first skydive all I could think of was the jump. It was really the only thing I thought of for awhile.…

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…

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…
