ntrprnr 0 #1 March 17, 2010 So I was out in Austin this weekend, giving a speech at the South by Southwest Interactive conference. Arriving on Friday, I tweeted out "Hey, I wanna go skydiving. Who wants to come?" Seven people wanted to Tandem. We showed up at Temple with no reservations, and they could not have been nicer. Spent the entire day there, with awesome people, great times, and I got two spectacular, spectacular jumps. One of the guys there was a videographer, and we got the following video done - Enjoy it. http://vimeo.com/10159944 Thank you, Skydive Temple. Class act. I'll be back._______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Farmy 0 #7 March 18, 2010 I second that. I started there a year and a half ago and it is a home away from home. Mark and Penny and all of the staff are awesome. SDT rocks! I remember see you there, it was a great day for jumping. Josh Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although Skydive Temple isn't a bad place you may want to consider Skydive San Marcos while you are in Austin. The landing area is quite a bit better in San Marcos and over all is a little less "mom and pop". Suit yourself though. Either place is safe. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
