To All Jumptown Staff,
I just wanted to send a quick email to thank each and every one of you for making my first tandem skydive experience absolutely unforgettable!!! It’s by far the most amazing thing I’ve ever done and I’m already thinking about my next jump! Everyone at Jumptown made us feel so at ease and I just wanted to say thanks again for everything. Hopefully see you all very soon!!
Thanks,

Dear Jumptown,
On july 13 2006 my daughter meagan and myself had our first jump ever......it was the experience of a lifetime for both of us!!!!!
I would like to thank all of you and your staff for making us feel safe and secure during the training and what we should expect during the jump. My tandem master KEVIN BARRETT calmed many of my fears and made me feel very safe.......not an easy thing to do for me as i am terrified of hieghts . I owe him and your staff many thanks.
Note...your vidieo people are awesome.......I will have to make a copy of mine soon before i wear it out.
(mine was rabbit)
I waited 30 years for this jump ( huge chicken ) and it was well worth the wait!!!!
Again please thank KEVIN for me......we will be back, next time I will try to con my son into the experience of a lifetime.
THANKS FOR EVERYTHING.......
-JIM AND MEAGAN H
Jumptown Staff
On behalf of my son Bryan, his girlfriend Alex and myself, I would like to
thank you for the most exhilarating experience in my life when we all took
our first jump on July 13, 2006.
From the moment we got there until our jump
your staff not only made us feel welcome but extremely comfortable and safe.
There really are no words to describe the feeling of jumping out at 13,500
feet. I have not stopped thinking about it since we did it. My son and I
talked about doing this for at least the last 5 years and made a promise to
do it when he turned 18 which he did this year.
I am happy we chose Jumptown
for our first jump and we have made a pact to do it every summer going
forward.
A special thanks to Keith for his professionalism and calming
influence. What a trip.
Thanks Again and see you next summer.

Just wanted to send a quick thank you to everyone at Jumptown, especially my Jumpmaster Dan and videographer Muppet, for
a great first jump yesterday! Everyone was so friendly and welcoming, and Dan made me as relaxed
as anyone who is about to plunge 13,500 feet can be! Skydiving is something I have wanted to do for a long
time and I could not have asked for a better experience! I almost can't believe it happened! The video is awesome; I've
watched it non-stop since getting home so I can relive the experience. I get the feeling this won't be the last
time I do this! Thank so much for making my day so special!

We did our first Tandem skydive at Jumptown on Friday the 24th of
September and we thought it was awesome. But the most important thing that we
came away with was the way that you and your staff performed. Very professional
in every aspect of the jump.
Paul Peckham put us at ease and calmed our fears with the training prior to the
jump. Ben, Kev-man, Dave Parody and Paul the individuals we were tandem to were
outstanding and fun guys.
You people gave us a day that we will never forget.
THANK YOU
-Nina and Art R.
-Pat and Ben F.
I knew it would be great but hadn't expected such complete trust and
confidence in the ability of the jumpmaster. Thank you, thank you Keith and everyone else for
this "ultimate experience".
-Joan
I just wanted to send a quick thank you to you and your staff for
making me and my friends' experience yesterday at Jumptown so memorable and
enjoyable. We had such a great time - we talked about it the entire
ride home... and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect day!
The tandem instructors made us feel very safe and comfortable, and of
course ensured that we had nothing but fun (shout out to Dave Parody).
The video's and pictures are great - a special
thanks to my photographer John K...I love it! :)
I will highly recommend Jumptown to everyone! I'm moving to San Diego
in a month, but I will be back!!
Thanks again,
-Leanna
Thank you for hosting the World Cup Speed Skydiving meet.
My 7 hour drive to your DZ was very worth the trip.
I felt welcome and at home from the moment I arrived there.
I am looking foward to being at Jumptown again (and more sooner than later).
From a new friend,
-Grant Gallagher
To all, especially Dick and Jeff.
I have done some crazy things in my life, but jumping had to be the
best experience of my life. No one could have told me what a thrill
skydiving could be, I have been on cloud nine since I guarantee I will be back, so will the people who accompanied me.
I have watched the video five times already. I strongly suggest for first time jumpers to get the video, well worth the money.
Again, Thank You
-Tim S.
Hey Paul, Ben, Keith, Jeff, Rody, and Bryce:
I wish that I could speak for myself, Koren, and Jen and tell all of you
what an experience it was for us on Friday, but it was too damn good for
words. We can't stop talking about it and we are coming back as soon as
possible.
We all agree that getting to hang around with all of you for
so long waiting for the weather to turn was probably the best thing that
could have happened for us. By the time we took off we felt like we knew all
of you, and saw how crazy you all were, we loved it.
The pictures and video came out fantastic. We'll send some pictures this week.
-Bev, Koren and Jen
To Everyone at Jumptown,
I wanted to thank you all for helping me with my first, though not last,
dive a few weeks ago. Paul was great in both reassuring me as we
boarded the plane, and reminding me why its a thrill - since you never know what's
going to happen!
I was there with my buddy Mike, who made us go to kick
off his bachelor party. Needless to say, Jumptown was STILL the highlight
of the day. Mikey even handled the wedding the following week with a calm
and cool that could only come from hitting terminal velocity over Orange.
There definitely will be another trip from Boston-this time with everyone who
has spent the past few weeks listening to our story.
Thanks again for helping me check off one more thing on life's "To Do" list.
-Brian G.
Jumptown Staff,
I want to express my gratitude for making a dream of mine come true.
Reality is beginning to set in and I may not continue skydiving, but
your professionalism and care made my day especially memorable.
I have flown with the eagles and freefall is like nothing else I
have ever done in my 70 years. Amazing freedom!
Thank you again.
-Elizabeth L.
To Whom It May Concern,
While I have no doubt you receive a large number of thank you letters
from both one-time jumpers as well as newly christened lifelong addicts,
please allow me to express my deep gratitude to Jumptown and specifically
Kevman for making my first jump literally a thrill of a lifetime.
Having gone with my entire family to "take the plunge" on October 13th, I heard only
glowing remarks from my sister, brother and mother about their experience as a
whole and the jumpmasters they were paired with.
Admittedly, it's quite easy to form an immediate bond with the jumper
strapped to your back, but even easier to draw off their energy and passion
for the sport.
Speaking personally, Kevman was not only an outgoing and likeable
tandem partner, but he was also professional, thorough, and gave the jump the respect it
deserved.
With no question whatsoever in Kevin's skills and experience,
I was able to make the most of the experience, enjoy the view, and burn
the trip down into my memory, reliving it over and over again every time I
close my eyes.
For Jumptown's friendly service, and for Kevman's help in
putting a smile on my face that has yet to fade, I remain humbly grateful.
Thanks again, and I can't wait until the next one!!
-Keith M.
Jumptown Members-
I wanted to quickly send a huge "thank you" to my jumpmaster, Paul P,
and to Jeff A, for recording the entire experience. Thanks to you both
for showing me a whole new world.
Thanks to Jumptown, I am now addicted to the rush of skydiving. I participate
in many adrenaline-filled sports but this is, by far, the greatest!
I will be back soon and I have decided that I am going to pursue the sport seriously.
Thanks again for the incredible experience. I will never look at the sky in
the same way ever again.
-Sean W.
