My tandem-instructor was absolutely amazing (bud cole).  There was not a single moment where I did not know what to expect next, which was very comforting, because this was my first time jumpin out of a plane! I even got to meet my instructor's family before going up, which was very reassuring.  :)  The staff was friendly, and went out of their way to make sure everyone was having a good time.  You could tell that they definitely enjoy what they do. The plane ride up was awesome, the free-fall was beyond anything I have ever experienced before in my life, words just do not do this place justice.. And the parachute ride was just amazing.  The view was breath-taking! And Bud even briefed me on how to control the parachute and which direction that it went, and then even  let me steer us around for awhile.  I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to go skydiving.  I fully intend on coming back.  You guys rock!  Thanks for everything!
