Finding skydiving centers online has become a great way to learn about our industry and find a safe, professional location to make your first jump.

Unfortunately, there is also a growing trend for outside companies such as 1-800 Skyride, Soaring Sports, etc. that are buying up local domains across the country and advertising large centers locally when they are not actually storefronts locally.

These services require you to call an 800 number and then book a jump with them at a rate that appears the same. Once your transaction is complete you will then be charged a service charge costing you more money to make your skydive than you would pay an actual local center.

These 3rd party marketing companies are also known to send customers to other states past local centers only because most reputable centers do not use this bogus service.

There are only 2 centers in the KC area!! Make sure you are dealing with an actual center that is more than just an answering service.
