Skydive Chicago is built on a dedication to the sport of skydiving unseen anywhere else. It is located on 220 acres of private land with amenities like cabins, camping, swimming pond, Tiki Bar, Jump Run Cafe, RV hookups, shower house, disc golf course, Sky Lounge, student training programs (AFP), gear shop, rigging loft and more. It is also the home of several World Records, multiple local and nat

ional competitions and the largest skydiving festival of the year. We here at SDC want to encourage everyone to make a first jump, and we only hope it's with us. Our instructors take the time to make your first skydive not just a ride, but hopefully your first of many. Want to pull your own parachute? Want to steer your own canopy? We want you to be as big of a part of your experience as possible. (If you just want the thrill ride, we can do that too) We give real instruction and strive for safety above all else, so if you have any questions just ask!

Hill flying is weird. And awesome. Dreamy and disorienting. Slow and sideways. Hill flying cannot be precisely simulated in the tunnel, and you only get one shot at it per skydive. 😫 In MFS, hill flying feels different for every orientation and every formation. On this skydive Lindsay was anticipating the immediate transition to head-up, and didn’t get her head back enough upon exit. It’s pretty subtle, but can you see it? Thankfully we caught that behind-the-back hand grip to hold it all together and keep flying through the mushy air. Also - sit flying is hard. 🚀This skydive: 🍄N - Half Rebel (Advanced & Open divisions) 🍄11 - Mova / Tickle-Toes (Advanced & Open divisions) 🍄5 - Upright Auger (All divisions) Skydive Chicago Cookie Helmets LB Altimeters UPT Skydive Sebastian Vertical Suits Gold State Gear JYRO Option Studios Inc.

Different kinda speed. Same great team. 🏁

Turns out go-karts don’t have a holding area, a left-hand pattern, or a manifest to sort things out.

Huge thanks to Skydive Chicago for treating the crew to a night off the drop zone and some friendly competition.

Huge shout out to and the team for jumping with us at Skydive Chicago! 🚀🪂 When your guests literally help push the bou...
