So you’re bringing a group to skydive? Excellent! You couldn’t have picked a better way to bond with your group. What could be better than throwing yourselves out of a perfectly good airplane? Well, none in our thoughts.

From now until February 14, Dallas Skydive Center is offering a Valentine’s Day Special Package for two tandem skydives for ONLY $318! This is the best deal you will find anywhere!

We think the best day to go skydiving is any that ends in D-A-Y … but we’re kind of obsessed like that.

Feelings of empowerment wash over you when you achieve something by making a conscious effort to go through discomfort to reach a goal. That’s what skydiving is going to be.

You don’t want to land and feel like you’ve got ice blocks below your ankles! A pair of thick warm socks can make all the difference in free fall.

At large drop zones, you will find lots of experienced skydivers from all walks of life. All walks of fame and fortune skydive. You will also find the newbie area of folks that are not sure if the decision to jump from a plane for the first time was a good idea.

The term ‘arch’ or ‘arching’ refers to the most stable body position made during a skydive. The shape of a banana resembles this desired body position whereby the skydiver pushes his/her pelvis forward while keeping their chin high. This ‘arch’ position allows for a stable free fall.

To a skydiver, even just the thought of blue skies and calm air invoke a daydream whose cheesiness could rival that of a princess fairy tale. But weather and skydiving can be confusing, and sometimes, even for a licensed jumper, hard to grasp.

I see lots of nervous people come through my office ready to make their first tandem skydive. I offer the best advice I can.
