September kept the student program moving forward at Skydive Colorado Springs. Davis became the latest jumper to earn his A License, adding another milestone to a season full of new licensed skydivers. With October around the corner, there is still time to make a fall jump and keep the momentum going.
What Happened in September
Davis Earned His USPA A License
Congratulations to Davis, who completed 25 jumps and demonstrated the training and skills required to earn his USPA A License. Reaching that point takes steady progression and a lot of work. It also marks a major shift from learning the basics to stepping into the sport as a licensed skydiver.
Davis joins a growing group of students who have graduated from our program this year. Watching that progression happen at the drop zone has been one of the best parts of the season. Congratulations, Davis!

What’s Coming Up in October
October has plenty of room for regular jump days. If a tandem has been sitting on your list, fall is a good excuse to finally put it on the calendar. If you are already thinking past your first jump, our student program is open for the next step.
We are also starting to look ahead to holiday gifting. Keep an eye on your inbox and our social channels for our Black Friday and holiday offers. We will share the details soon!

What People Say About Us
“Such an incredible experience from start to finish! The entire team made me feel comfortable and at ease from the moment I arrived. Everything was seamless and well organized, and each step of the process was carefully explained so I always knew what to expect.
Jacko was my tandem instructor, and he was incredible! His commitment to safety was evident at every step, while still making the experience incredibly fun. I felt completely comfortable and confident throughout the entire jump.
For something that could understandably feel intimidating, I never felt uneasy or unsure of what was happening. I was able to just enjoy the experience, from getting on the plane to free fall to parachuting back down.
My first skydive was an experience I’ll never forget, and I can’t wait to book with them again! 🪂”
