Hi Everyone! Thank you for the wonderful rush and fabulous
time at ASC. It was my first time jumping and both my camera
man Scott and my jump partner Hans made the experience something
that I will never forget. They were funny, energetic and
outgoing. I felt safe in there hands and there is no doubt
that I will be going up again. I would like to send them
a Thank you card and picture but do not have a mailing address.
Could you please e-mail me back with your mailing address.
Thank you again. My e-mail address is tara_hall@yahoo.com.
I hope to hear from you soon. Tara Hall
Michael Richardson
You guys have been great! From level 1 through 7 and my
first solo each instructor has been great. They have
been helpful in all the ways one could ask. All of the
instructors for tandem to AFF make an effort to make
this what it should be, FUN. You guys have a great facility
for people to learn. People always say that they have
always wanted to try skydiving, well this is the place
they need to go. Not only will people find an awesome
new sport that is second to none, but find some new friends
who know how to have fun. They say everybody dies but,
few people truly live. Well there is a lot of living
going on at ASC. I am looking forward to many future
dives with you. Thanks again, Michael Richardson
Darah Smallwood "Dinki" & Jon Smallwood
I just wanted to say thank you so much for the time of
my life! My husband and I enjoyed our jumps tremendously,
and will be seeing you again SOON! Wanted to give a special
thanks to Jack and "Fast Eddie" for their most
excellent teaching methods, and the fun & security
they handed us on a silver platter! We have actually decided
to go through your program and learn to skydive! I personally
can't wait to get started. As a first jumper, because of
your "T Masters", I had no fear at all, not even
nervous! It was indeed the single most exciting moments
of my life. I can easily see myself getting addicted! Thought
I would send a few photos you guys took for us! Enjoy,
see you soon! Oh yea, I can't forget to thank Ricco and
Charlie for the awesome video and photos!
Renea Pilcher
I completed my first tandum jump on Sunday. I Loved it....i'm
hooked. Just wanted to say thanks. I thoroughly enjoyed
the whole experience. You have a really nice operation.
Everybody was generally professional. Reed was my Tandum
Master and he did a great job. I am interested is jumping
more, possibly. Wanted to get some information on pricing
if I went through the classes to get my license and what
would be my next step. Thanks again and hope you guys
have a wonderful day. Renea Pilcher
Donna Sills
I just wanted to write and let y'all know I thought my
experience was awesome. Never in my life have I had such
a thrill. I am planning on adding skydiving to my budget!!!
Reid really made my experience memorable. He kept me
calm during the flight (which was the worst part) by
explaining exactly what would be happening and when.
Your well trained and expert staff are terrific. I look
forward to my first solo!!!!
David Drennan CPA, CIA
What a rush!!! Better than "anything I did" back
in my college days, and all natural!!!! After my three
jumps yesterday and graduating from the AFF program, I
was pumped to the max. I didn't sleep much last night as
I was re-living the jumps over and over in my mind. Thanks
to all of you for the support, encouragement, superb instruction
and professionalism. From day one I have never doubted
my safety in your program. Your staff and associates are
first class. I now live to skydive... party on.
Don Francis
I have to thank you all for the life changing experience
I shared with you on Saturday, July 1st. Especially,
Carrey and Rick for all they did. I had been waiting
for many years to Skydive and I must thank my best friend,
for sharing the weekend with me. We experienced a weekend
I will never forget. You have a great facility and a
great staff that all helped to make my first dive a memorable
one, as well as spark an interest in my for more. We
made alot of new friends. From your drop zone as well
as around the country. (Karen, look for us to come visit
you in San Fransico!) When I say "life changing" I
mean it. I now have a serious interest in achieving certification
and down the road becoming a videoagrapher. Once again,
Thank you for wonderful time and I look forward to spending
more time with you all. Please make sure "The Rickster" gets
a look the attached picture. It was such a beautiful
night.
Erin L. Diehl
On December 23, I took my Level I AFF Skydive and my first
skydive every for that matter, at ASC. It was AMAZING.
I just wanted to take some time now that the busy holidays
are over to thank everyone for the experience. Caven
my jumpmaster was awesome, very informative, he made
me feel very comfortable about my first jump. His knowledge
of the technical side was very helpful for my experience.
He made it alot of fun. He is awesome, would love to
have him for my Level II. You guys have a great employee
in him!!! Fast Eddie was my second jumpmaster and was
equally as awesome, very informative. His technical knowledge
helped me alot. He helped me understand what I needed
to do to have a successful jump and he also showed me
how to improve for future jumps. Another great employee!!
Jim was my classroom instructor, again, very awesome.
He was very knowledgable and answered all of my questions
with no problem. I learned alot about skydiving in those
5+ hours. Yet another great employee! I look forward
to seeing everyone again soon for my level II. Hang Loose!!!!
Holly Campbell
I can't belive I jumped (was pried actually...thanks, Jack!)
out of a perfectly good airplane! What was I thinking?
Skydiving was the most amazing experience of my life!
I always said if I could jump out of a plane, I could
do anything. I absolutely believe it! Not only can I
do anything, but now I am hooked, big time! What a way
to start the summer! My best friend, Don, and I decided
the night before, that we were finally ready to do this,
and it didn't matter if anyone else wanted to come or
not. We knew each other was more serious than just meager
talk over a drink like other people. We called at 9pm
Friday night and were told to be at the Drop Zone at
2pm the next day. Without a doubt, this was the day to
experience the ultimate rush! We met the nicest people,
staff and guests alike. Karen, we will be visiting you
in San Francisco before you know it! This woman is an
inspiration. She was in Atlanta on business and decided
that her adventure here would be skydiving. Way to go!
Karen, I hope it was worth every minute of every hour
we waited and anticipated the exhilarating thrill. You
are awesome! The opportunity for the three of us to skydive
came near twilight. It was perfect! The beauty of the
endless sky and the spectacular bright red falling sun
was the most breathtaking sight. I am ready for more.
BRING IT ON!!!!! I definitely need a few more tandem
jumps though. For one, until I can say "Hell yeah,
let's do it!" and jump out of a plane flying 15,000
feet in the air, instead of "Hell no!" and
being pried out, I will need the security of Jack "The
Man" Hammer strapped to my back. And two, who wouldn't
want Jack "The Man" Hammer, with those killer
green eyes and awesome long red hair, strapped to their
back? Oooh, Baby, what a doll!! Jack, I trusted you with
my life. Not many have gotten there, you are one of a
select few. I would trust you with the world. Thank you.
Thank you for your support, encouragement, charm and
wit, all which helped me experience the rush of a lifetime.
Let me know when you are ready for a margarita!!! And
of course, no adventure would be complete without the
expertise of Mr. Ricco "Suave" Pollan to capture
the essence of the moment!!! As tired and exhausted as
he was, those piercing blue eyes, the thrill of excitement
and pride and drive for excellence he strives for, has
given me the opportunity to relive the exhilaration of
my experience again and again. Those who saw my video
said it was one of the best they have ever seen! The
stills are also spectacular. I will scan a few and pass
them on to you guys. I will be back for more! Don and
I got some info on the AFF program and will be signed
up in no time! Thank you Atlanta Skydive Center, Jack,
Ricco, Don, and Karen, for sharing my experience of a
lifetime!!! Best to all of you.
Elizabeth Snelgrove
I just wanted to tell you guys I had the most incredible
jump on Monday (July 3rd)!!!! I am absolutely hooked!
It was a true high without the hangover!!! I jumped with
Jack Hammer and he was awesome! Tell him I said "thank
you soooo- much!" I will certainly be back and plan
on becomming certified. Thank you for the Experience,
Elizabeth Snelgrove
Bernard
I just wanted to thank you again for the most incredible
experience of my life. Jack's professionalism and attention
to detail is a credit to your organization. Everyone
there LOVE'S what they do and it really shows. All my
friends have commented on the quality of the video tape
and how good it looks; I highly recomend it. I can't
wait to come back and do it again. You guys ROCK!
Laurie Gunter & crew
I just wanted to say Thank You to all of you guys at ASC.
We had a group of 11 jumpers there this weekend from
our church, and we all had an awesome time. We would
like to thank Reid, Danny, Justin, and John for giving
all of us a wonderful and exciting first jump. I don't
think that any of us and quit talking about it since.
Also, thank you to all the video guys who video our jumps
so that we can relive it as often as we like. We are
planning our next trip back to ASC as soon as possible.
Thank you all again. A special thanks to John for giving
me my first jump, you are awesome. Thanks for a great
time.
Mitch Van Meter
After about a week or so of thinking about my skydive I
would like to write and tell you all what a great time
it was. Waiting for about thirty years to do this and
finally realizing it was just great. I don't think I
could have picked a better facility to do this. Just
as soon as I "hit" the ground I immediately
wanted to go back so will probably continue on with the
rest of the seven jumps. I purchased the video that was
offered and that camera man, Steve, is fantastic. Sort
of likes his work too, cause it sure shows. I was accompanied
by Ben and Hans and they were just great. Very professional
and courteous. In my future jumps I will ask for them.
If you can ever feel safe falling through the air at
120mph then you will feel that way with those guys holding
on to you. Fantastic is all I can say about my experience.
Thanks a whole lot.
Nicki Stewart
Adam, I came and did my 2nd tandem jump with you this past
Saturday and got a log book and everything.. You told
me I can come back next time for the IAF Level 1, but
is there some kind of program that I can follow that
will tell me what I am supposed to learn each time, etc.??
I am definitely coming back for lessons because this
is all I can think about now. The excitment was more
than I have ever felt. I had an even better time Saturday
than I did the first time I jumped and I think I can
attribute that to my incredible instructor!! Thanks!!
Nicki
Karl Sale
Ya'll are all fucking nuts. And I love you for it. Our
dive on Saturday afternoon (Steve, Bryan, Leah, and the
bachelor, Chris) was incredible and inspirational. The
experience even usurped "the Cheetah" for highlight
of the bachelor party. We will be back. Thanks a million.
 Peggy Lamberson
I thought you might find it amusing to know that, after
having a great time on my first skydive Saturday and
coming through without even so much as a pulled muscle,
I went horseback riding the next day (something I've
been doing for 30+ years), broke my nose and ended up
in the ER. So much for definitions of dangerous sports!
Thanks for a GREAT experience! I'll definitely be back!
Ketan Chitre
I wish to sincerely thank you Guys ,for making my jump
a successful event! It was great fun and a very safe
landing with Justin, i am sure I shall like do it again!
Special thanks to Ricco for his excellent work of motion
Video and still pictures. Once again Thanks a lot for
making it a great event !
Amy Griswold
Absolutely you have my permission to post my comments on
your site... I have attached a picture from my dive,
thought you guys might get a kick out of this unbelievable
shot! Thanks again! (Click
here for pictures)
atlantamoderator
I had a BLAST - so much so that I'm planning to return
with a girlfriend of mine (she's actually jumped with
you guys too). We were thinking about one of the "special" jumps!
;-) I'm not sure I remember my instructors name - I think
it was Reid? If you can, tell him Sherry (the "conservative" one
who got us extra free fall) and a friend are coming back
next week.
Sarah Wendorf
This is Sarah Wendorf. I went skydiving today and I just
wanted to thank you guys so much. I had such an awesome
time and I fulfilled one of my life-long dreams. I want
to give a special thanks to Ben, the guy I was attached
to, for being patient with me. It was a BLAST, thanks!
It was so exciting, and now I am the talk of all the
kids/parents at church and school. I hope I will be able
to come back during the summer!
Brian
Thanks for the great memories. Our group of 8 this past
Saturday morning at @ 7:00 a.m. had an incredible time.
We found your staff to be most helpful and professional.
I never imagined that jumping out of an airplane could
have such a positive effect on my state of mind. You
will see us again. Keep up the good work.
AL DellaPenna Jr. Brentwood NY
I just got back from my trip down south , and wanted to
let you know how much I enjoyed my time at ASC . Your
facilities were clean and very comfortable, great packing
conditions. The king Air , is quite a impressive plane
, having never jumped one (BEER), I was shocked how fast
we got to altitude (14,900 ft wow). The thing that impressed
me the most about my stay at ASC was the people , I know
the south has been long known for their warm people ,
but the overall kindness and openness that was shown
to me during my short stay was something I won't forget.
You have a great DZ , and I hope to visit again real
soon , as well as recommending your DZ to anyone.
Marisa Turner
I just wanted to say thank you for the opportunity to have
jumped out of a perfectly good airplane. It was the most
Amazing experience of my entire life!! I have always
been a thrill seeker, and this one definitely has been
the best so far. Your friendly staff and instructors
made me feel completely safe at all times. I remember
feeling very nervous when I first arrived, but by the
time I was called to jump, my instructor Mike had me
feeling completely at ease, so much so that we even did
flips coming out of the plane! (I highly recommend this!)
I have told everyone I know about you center and my jump.
I will be back with several others! I look forward to
seeing y'all again soon. Thank you again for the experience
of a lifetime!
Cheryl Lynne Humphrey
I did my first tandem dive this past weekend and it was
incredible! I really appreciated the way I was treated
at ASC, everyone was especially friendly and created
a comfortable atmosphere where I was able to make the
best of my adventure. I am interested in persuing skydiving
and getting my A-license this spring. I can't wait to
see you guys again.
Todd Druse
Hi Jack- Just wanted to let you know what a FANTASTIC time
I had jumping last weekend! It was my first ever jump
and it was the most awesome thing I've ever done! I'll
definitely be back with a whole new group of crazy police
officers! Take care and thanks so much for making my
first skydiving experience so much fun!
Leighanne Muldoon
I went skydiving for the first time yesterday. It was the
most fun I've had in forever. My tandem partner, Adam
Wheeler was a blast and made the whole experience amazing!
I'm so glad I bought the video, I think I've watched
it 15 times already! Thanks for everything! Keep up the
good work and I will definitely be back again!!! Regards,
Leighanne Muldoon
Chris
I wanted to write and tell you how much I enjoyed my first
skydive. I recently attended the Skydiving Center on
June 4, 2000 in Cedartown, Georgia and made my first
tandem jump. It was such an adrenaline rush. I loved
it so much that I hope to be back before too long and
bring some friends with me. I would like to thank my
tandem instructor, Danny, for such a great first skydive.
Not to forget the awesome job that Steve done on videoing
my first jump. Thanks guys for such a great experience.
Hope to be back soon, Chris
Carrie Clark
I did my first jump this past Saturday as part of my boyfriend,
Gary Cleaver's, 40th birthday present. You guys may remember
me, I am the one that had the extraordinary fear of heights.
In fact, I wouldn't fly anywhere for the past ten years
because of it. But thanks to my Tandem Jumpmaster, Mike,
talking me through the entire experience, I actually
did it and I loved it! I was extremely nervous as I was
climbing into the plane. I thought I must be mental to
be doing this. But now that I did it and I have the video
to play over and over again, I am completely hooked.
I have an addiction to skydiving and I am heading back
there in one month when I come back to Atlanta to visit
Gary. He is completing his levels 6 and 7. Everyone that
has seen my video can't believe that I actually did it
due to my fear of heights. I just smile and reply, "Yeah,
it's unbelieveable, isn't it?" If I can skydive,
anyone can. You guys made it so comfortable and it all
went so smooth that I can't wait to get back up in the
sky again. And Cary...I hope you are with Gary on his
7th jump. I know you will take care of him for me. See
you guys in a month! Sincerely, Carrie Clark Rock Hill,
South Carolina
Manjunath
This sunday I did my first tandem jump with you guys. It
certainly was an eye opening experience and it was made
better by the quality of people out their at the centre.
Thanks to all of you and wish you all a very happy new
year. You guys are some of the best people I have ever
met.
bbeauli
My name is Bryson Beaulieu. I had my first skydive on August
26th (Fran DuFour's group). I wanted to say I had the
most intense experience of my life during the free-fall
portion of my dive. Mark (my tandem master) and Harvey
(my videographer) are true pros (please double their
salary, they are worth it). Mark and Harvey worked really
hard to insure it was the best time possible. Thank you
again for an excellent memory!!! Please tell Harvey all
24 pictures came out beautifully, and the music on my
video was excellent. Attached is one of my pictures (Mark
and me).
Amy Griswold
I just wanted to say thanks for making my first jump so
memorable!!! I can't seem to find the right words to
say what an awesome time I had!!!!! I didn't get to stick
around so everone could watch my video out front... but
it was perfect!!!!! It had the coolest shot when I jumped
out and the plane was diving behind, then under me!!!!!
It was unbelievable!!!!! I can't wait to do it again...
and again.......Thanks again to everyone!!!!!!!
Byron Simpson
Just wanted to say thanks for a spectacular time and jump.
It was the best experience of my life so far. Please
tell Steve "Smash" Linton that the video was
great as well. I have many people interested in coming
up to experience Skydiving. I can't stop talking about
it or showing the video-even at work!
Ronald Carroll
Thank you so much, that was the must wonderful, most fantastic
experience i've had in a while. I am sure we'll be staying
in touch because my best friend Percy Stith is trying
to put together a group so we may come again. You guys
keep doing what your doing as far as showing people the
world from another angle.
Chuck Combs
Justin, Just wanted to e-mail you to say again "Thanks
for an EXCITING day of Skydiving"! I always wanted
to do this and you made the jump very Fun and Exciting.
I know that this will not be my last time, looking forward
to my future jump and I would like to make my next one
with you also. The flips were AWESOME. You are a wild man.
Tell Mark "Thanks" again for the excellent video
and pictures he took of me.
 Zinkovskaya, Yelena
Hi Guys! I would like to thank everybody for making this
experience so wonderful and safe for me! Especially,
I would like to thank Mike and Reed. You are really great,
I trusted you, Mike, and I new you would get me back
to the ground safe. Wow, what a thrill it was! I am definitely
coming back next spring!
Cara Mosley
Hi John and everybody. Hey, what's up? This is Cara…from
Georgia Tech. You were my jump master on my first tandem
dive on Saturday. I was just writing to say thank you so
much, again. That jump was so awesome (and the video is
really funny). Because of it, my friend Jen and I are going
to get our licenses from Atlanta skydiving Center. I think
we are going to do the tandem way to do it, and then the
alone jumps, just so we don’t have to have our second
skydive be alone… :-). Do you think that the tandem
method is a good idea? Well, thanks again so much, you’ve
helped me find something that I really love to do and really
want to pursue. I’d appreciate it if you’d
write back and tell me your opinion of people like me trying
to be certified,and I’ll probably see you around
at asc! "Thanx for riding my ass through the sky" cara.
Jason McKinnon
My girlfriend and I were up there for our first jumps last
Saturday with a bunch of people I work with. Wow, what
a rush! You definitely have
at least two new converts, who will soon be coming back
to go through the entire certification course. See you
next week!
Jeremy Kubat
Hello ASC!!! I made my first jump on January 6, 2001. That
was two weeks ago tomorrow and I still get sweaty palms
and a racing heart when I think about the experience.
As I drove to the DZ., I was not sure I would be able
to go through with jumping out of a plane at 14,000 feet.
Upon arrival, the atmosphere immediately enveloped me.
There were 100 or so people milling around, all wearing
smiles looking like the cat that ate the canary. I saw
many people rolling around on the floor, squeezing the
air from chutes, repacking them to do it again. Everyone,
staff and customers alike, were extremely nice and welcomed
me into their world with open arms. As I suited up, Reid
instructed me on what would happen, how it would happen,
and even when it would happen. I felt an immediate connection
with Reid, and we weren't even harnessed together yet!
Ricco was video taping and his enthusiasm was inspiring.
On the flight to 14,000 ft, Reid and I continued to discuss
how things would go. Having been the only first time
diver on the plane, of course everyone else had to give
Reid a ration of crap to try and shake my confidence.
Not a chance! The comfort level I had with Reid, Ricco
and myself made jumping from the plane a breeze. I never
thought of it as jumping out of a plane, I was too busy
thinking about SKYDIVING! The experience surpassed all
expectations I had! I am hooked and I will be back to
get my certification very soon. Two weeks later and I
still feel like I did it yesterday! What a rush!!!!!
Thanks again. Jeremy Kubat
Vincent
Hello Rico, My name is Vinny. On Sunday January 21st I
made my 1st jump. AFF/1. You were the camera guy for
my jump. I'm sure you remember us talking about New York
and Jazz clubs and women and other cool things. Well,
Look, I just wanted to thank you again for the Great
camera work you did on my jump. You will never know what
it means to me to have that video and those pictures.
I also wanted you to have my e-mail address and home
phone number in hopes that we could stay in touch a little
bit. It's not too often I meet "REAL" people
here Hey, if you're ever on the south side, give me a
call. Maybe we could throw some food on the grill, bust
open a few Caronas and hang for a while. Vincent........
Adam Emory
I wanted to let you guys know that I had the most thrilling
day of my life so far. I will deffently be back soon.
Jack was very professional, and I
wanted to thank him once again, for being the one that
shared in my experience. Thanks guys for an incredible day.
Sandye Barrett
I did my first tandem jump last Sunday with Jack, and it
was awesome!! Jack was very professional and made me
feel extremely safe. So Jack, thanks for a great jump!
Chris, Celo, Kathy, and Jenelle
I just wanted to let you guys know that three friends and
I jumped out of a plane for the first time with you guys
last weekend. It was the best experience in the world!!
The only topic in the office is skydiving. Hans - The
girls loved you!!! All I hear is how much fun you made
the jump for them!! Jack - The site of the world above
is great! Rico - Great job video taping. Have a cold
one for me! I also wanted to let you guys know that we
are planning to have a big group from AT&T to come
over and jump for the first time and me and my buddy
are looking into getting our license!! You will be hearing
from us soon! Chris, Celo, Kathy, and Jenelle.
Polo
Hey guys what's up? Yesterday I had the piviledge of jumping
for the first time, and let me tell you, that is the
most incredible thing I've done in my life. I thought
about it and talked about it all day long today and I
think I'll do so for the next several days too. The first
time I went there Chris Stevens took me, but we couldn't
finish the jump for weather reasons this was about 2
years ago. I JUST WANT TO TELL YOU GUYS THAT " YOU
ROCK " and I can't wait to DO IT AGAIN !!!!!
Sue Lichvarcik
I was at your facility to skydive this past Sunday and
had the most enriching experience of my life! I was totally
impressed with the professionalism of the whole operation
and have highly recommended you to everyone I come into
contact.I jumped with Mark and had Trey as the photographer.
The two of them, along with everyone else on the plane
made the whole experience wonderful. There was humor,
which relaxed me and made the video quite an interesting
one for anyone who has viewed it, and trust me it has
been a lot of people. Anyone who may have had any apprehensions
about skydiving have been sucked in by the video. Hopefully
I can bring a group the next time I come. I work at Parisian
and they even showed the video at a manager's meeting!
Quite embarassing to me considering the funny slide in
landing but thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. I wanted
to tell Trey that all 24 pictures came out and were fabulous!
And Mark, I can't begin to tell you the number of women
who want to jump just seeing you in the video. Their
favorite comment - "I would love to be attached
to him." If you are looking for a relationship,
I have a number of girls who would be waiting in line,
my daughter included. I told them about Trey as well,
but he didn't give us much of a shot of himself, but
they love his personality on the video. All in all -
very professional and very impressive!! I am saving my
pennies to come back. I am still flying high!!!!! Thank
you all for the safety and the experience of a lifetime.
What a great culmination to my first 50 years of life!
I will be back........
Greg Tigerman
I still get adrenaline rushes.......I just wish they would
come at times other than 3.am.:) Tony ,Kelly, Pepsi and
I really had a great time and it will always be one
of the top experiences of my life. We are interested in
attending your school we are trying to coordinate schedules
right now. We will be in touch about our next jump! I
have shown my video to scores of people and the response
has been very favorable. I believe the next time we come
we will have at least 4 new divers and possibly as many
as 10. I took a couple of frames and had them blown up
into poster size pictures and they really do generate
lots of conversation. Again thanks for everything and
we will be in touch.
Denise Haney
I have to tell you again what an AWESOME experience that
was!!!! I have shown my video to everyone (including
all my Jazzercise students) and told all of them about
your Skydiving Center, you will see many of them soon.
I'm still working on my husband to try it and two of
my three kids want to come, so I'm sure we'll be seeing
more of y'all. I want to do it again and would love to
take the steps to soloing, but have to see where finances
are at the beginning of the year. Thanks again and look
for a bunch of us in the future - I'm telling everyone!!!
Scott Smithwick
Just wanted to thank everyone at ASC for making my first
skydive a wonderful experience. Things couldn't have
gone smoother and I hope to be jumping with you again
real soon. Man 15,800 feet above the ground is a long
way up.
Carrie Clark

7th jump. I know you will take care of him for me. See
you guys in a month!
Mary Gibeau
I just wanted to share with you that I had the most incredible
experience yesterday! Never have I been so in awe of
God's creation. I had an awesome tandem instructor-his
name was Mike ( I don't have his last name). He was great
and made my jump that much more fun. I absolutely can't
wait to go again. Thanks for everything!
Bombteck9
One word: OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the time of my
life. Jumping out of an airplane was the single most
enjoyable thing I have ever done (except of course for
witnessing the birth of my son). I want to get licensed?
I jumped tandem, so I guess should I go through the tandem
progression route, then to level 4 AFF. Is that right?
Skydiving is my life now. Thanks for everything

been in a plane before in his life ,and still today he
can say he's never landed in one ha ha

Gentlemen, I could not have had a better time. Your concern
and professionalism made the adventure even better. Yes,
I will most assuredly continue on the 7 jump program
so that I can jump safely by myself. Skydiving is much
more than I thought it was. Thank you again and if I
can ever serve as a reference, please do not hesitate
to use me. 770-985-9955 voice with voice mail

Hello all skydivers at ASC. My name is Michelle Carr. I
have had a really great time skydiving at your drop zone.
Everyone is very nice and the center is wonderful to
pack in. I have been truely spoiled being able to pack
in a cool air loft. Thank you for making my time spent
there so fun and wonderful. I will tell all my friends
to come and skydive with you all. I have also enjoyed
your web site. I love the little para men that fallow
your arrow around on your main page. The pictures are
great and the letters are cool. My sister says she wants
to learn to sky surf. She still has one more year till
she is 18, I told her. I will take her to ASC for her
first skydive. She is looking forward to it. Once again
cool web site and thanks for all the fun. I had a great
time and I will come back and skydive with you all when
I come back to town. Lots of thanks.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude for making
my first skydiving experience an exciting and enjoyable
event. By far it was the best thrill I have ever experienced
and the adrenaline rush was unbelieveable. I have never
experienced so many emotions (fear, excitement, joy,
nervousness) at one time. The video and photos done on
the day of my visit were extremely well done and I am
enjoying them with my friends and family. Even though
I comment about not being afraid during the video shoot......I
must admit I was a little nervous as is evident by the
look on my face during the plane ascent......okay maybe
I came off as a little cocky during the video shoot.
LOL ! :) Nevertheless, the level of hospitality and professionalism
I encountered put all of my fears to rest. I would like
to especially thank my tandem jumpmaster for playing
such a vital role with this. He was very thorough and
made the experience much more enjoyable. I would like
to apologize for not being able to view the video with
you and your staff due to time constraints, however,
I will bring the video during my next visit. There are
some pretty funny moments during the video especially
when my tandem jumpmaster man handles me by removing
my hand from the door of the aircraft just before we
exit. Can you believe that guy had the nerve to do that
! LOL ! Just kidding. In all seriousness he was absolutely
great. I would like to inform you that I do plan on attending
the accelerated course and will contact you next week
to inquire about details. Thank you again and I look
forward to seeing you soon !!!!

I wanted to write and tell you how much I enjoyed my first
skydive. I recently attended the Atlanta Skydiving Center
on June 4, 2000 and made my first tandem jump. It was
such an adrenaline rush. I loved it so much that I hope
to be back before too long and bring some friends with
me. I would like to thank my tandem instructor, Danny,
for such a great first skydive. Not to forget the awesome
job that Steve did on videoing my first jump. Thanks
guys for such a great experience.

Thanks for your email. It was an incredible experience
that I am definitely planning on doing again! Also, thanks
for putting me on your email list; I would be interested
in learning about upcoming events, etc. I've had the
pictures of my first skydive developed, and they turned
out really good. I must say that I was very impressed
with my video also. Anyway, thanks for an experience
that words cannot describe. I'll be in touch.

I just wanted to drop you a line to thank you again for
your assistance in making my first skydive a very enjoyable,
successful, positive, and extremely memorable experience
I look forward to repeating in October. I was so wore
out last night from my adrenaline high that I've never
been more relaxed. I also look forward to developing
life long friendships with other skydivers. My wife has
no interest in the sport but so far she seems to be supportive,
although in a conservative way. One weekend a month is
all she's willing to allow for now. When I retire from
the reserves, that may have to change. What do other
non-interested spouses do while their skydiver spouses
are playing?
Right now I'm planning on completing my level 2 & 3
on the 16th of October. I've been practicing my dive flow
by going through the motions and calling them out as I
do them. I know I have to do better each time in order
to pass each level and I've set my mind to do just that.
I want to earn my certification and enjoy the sport safely
and not be a hazard to other skydivers. I appreciate yours
and Gene's positive reinforcement and the confidence you
all are building in me. That is a big plus I will tell
all my friends about as I describe my exciting, adrenaline
packed experience!
I especially appreciate and remember the ride up to 14,800
feet. I was impressed that you were paying attention to
what I was doing and that you took the time to ensure I
was at ease and sure I wanted to jump. Then you asked me
to go through what I was going to do during the jump. I
was completely mentally prepared by the time we reached
our spot. My first jump taught me more about myself and
also that a Jumpmaster is an exceptionally experienced
and skilled individual who can be trusted with your life.
Actually, I had no doubt about the trust part even before
we boarded the plane. You're an excellent instructor and
I look forward to learning more as I continue my addiction
with skydiving. I hope you are able to debrief me on my
2nd and 3rd levels and sign my logbook. PARTY ON GARTH!
LET'S SKYDIVE!!!
