Your Monthly Drop Zone Update: October Edition

Table of Contents

The air’s getting cooler, but the sky’s still hot. October brought new achievements, spooky skies, and stories that remind us why every jump’s worth celebrating at Skydive Colorado Springs.

STORY OF THE MONTH

Let’s Meet Brooke!

Let’s meet Brooke, a jumper whose story has quickly become part of our dropzone’s own. She started with a tandem, then joined the team, and before long, she was chasing every new challenge that came her way.
Her progress hasn’t been overnight. It’s been a steady climb through training days, weather holds, nervous laughs, and a whole lot of sky. From learning her exits to finding comfort in the door, Brooke’s journey shows the heart of what it means to grow in this sport.

More chapters of Brooke’s journey are on the way—stay tuned.

OCTOBER EVENTS RECAP

B-License Canopy Course


October kicked off with jumpers chasing skills, not just altitude. Our B-License Canopy Course turned the landing area into a classroom, where precision met patience and every flare counted.

Big thanks to everyone who showed up ready to learn, share, and fine-tune their flying—this crew made it look easy.

Halloween Jump — “Come Jump in Your Costume”

Nothing says Colorado fall vibes like skydiving in a costume. From superheroes to skeletons (and a few questionable wigs), October 31st brought all the color, chaos, and laughter we could’ve asked for.

Flying through spooky skies reminded everyone why we love this sport—it’s serious fun, with seriously good people.

DEALS YOU CAN’T MISS

Black Friday Special

Mark your calendars: from Black Friday through Cyber Monday, we’re giving back to the jumpers who keep this sky alive.

The first 25 customers to book a skydive get a free photos + video package, and the next 25 get free photos.
That’s 50 chances to capture your jump on us—just make sure you’re quick, these spots won’t last long once the sale goes live.

Jump Anniversary & Birthday Specials

If you’re booking for your jump anniversary, you can grab your tandem at the same price you paid last year.

And for birthdays? We’re going all out—book within 7 days of your birthday and you’ll not only get the same deal but also a chance to pick from our birthday gift bags.One lucky bag will include a Skydive Colorado Springs jersey (worth $85), because nothing says “best birthday ever” like flying through the sky wearing the dropzone’s colors.

WHAT JUMPERS SAY ABOUT US

Jumped with my two boys at Skydiving Colorado Springs, and what an experience! One of them just got certified to solo jump through their student program, so of course Mom had to see what all the hype was about.
From the moment we showed up, the staff greeted us with big smiles and made even the most nervous first-timers (aka me) feel totally at ease. Everything was super professional but still fun and relaxed — they really know how to make it an unforgettable day.
If you’re looking for an adventure of a lifetime, this is it. Highly recommend!
Oh, and to my tandem jumper… sorry for screaming my head off. Pretty sure I hit a few high notes on the way down. 🎢😂
Thanks again
