mwthomsen 0 #1 May 16, 2008 Has anyone had an experience with Skydive Midwest in Wisconsin? I have a family member thinking about doing a tandem there and asked if I know anything about them. So any information the collective might have would be helpful. Thanks in advance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SPAWNmaster 0 #2 May 16, 2008 I cannot comment on Midwest but I recommend checking the reviews or doing a search. Not sure how far they're willing to travel for a great experience but I can personally vouch for some of the staff at Atmosphair Skydiving. I gurantee an awesome experience if doing a tandem with Bo.

smooth 0 #3 May 16, 2008 I've only been there once but the staff is friendly and competent. Some of them are ex-Hinckley jumpers. You might also want to take a look at SkyKnights in East Troy, WI[/url] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

weegegirl 2 #6 May 16, 2008 I love Skydive Midwest. The owner is a really nice guy and the people are great. Small dz, but sometimes that is a really good thing! I flew some video there a couple years ago and had a great time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A bunch were obviously planted by the DZ itself! Anyway, Midwest is cool... a lot of them have been in the sport for years and years so they know their way around the sky!

I second that notion! Atmosphair is my home DZ and I love it there. Bo is a great guy. I've been meaning to travel to East Troy and Midwest to check them out though.

I flew some video there a couple years ago and had a great time. Someone else owns the DZ now. I would suggest Sky Knights, but that is because it is my home dz and I am also one of the people running it. One thing I can promise you is that Sky Knights does not support Skyride and we jump a well maintained PAC750.~D Where troubles melt like lemon drops Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me.
