I never considered skydiving to be a lifetime sport, I thought it was just something to try once and then move on. I wanted to make one solo jump and be happy with that, so I started looking for drop zones near me. After calling several DZ's I decided to make a tandem jump at WNY, even though it was not the closest place. I talked with Tim (the Owner) and immediately could tell he was passionate about his sport and also very safety oriented. After jump 1 at WNY I was hooked, and came back again and again that summer to graduate the student program. Everyone at WNY were so helpful and supporting while I was a newbie, and still are today now that I'm licensed. Though their aircraft are small and the weather isn't always perfect, all the staff and fun jumpers make WNY a great place to jump and learn about the greatest sport in the world.
