Skydive Moab is hosting it’s 5th annual skydiving festival!
Clint MacBeth opened Skydive Moab's doors in November of 2003. Clint, with over 14 years skydiving experience and 6000+ skydives, has always wanted to own his own skydiving center. BASE-jumping brought Clint to Moab a few winters past and the wheels started turning, the next thing you know, Skydive Moab was born.
Right now, they are a small skydiving center, catering mostly to tandem jumpers and the occasional experienced skydiver passing through Moab. Despite the size of the dropzone (or maybe because of) both first-time and veteran jumpers alike, leave with an experience to remember! Skydive Moab offers a welcoming atmosphere and some of the most unique scenery in the country for jumpers to enjoy! The landscape offers one of kind opportunities for adventure that “we think will take the sport to the next level.”
Now, after 4 very successful years of holding the ‘Mother Of All Boogies’ (M.O.A.B.) skydiving event, Skydive Moab is again teaming up with Skydive Arizona, (one of the busiest skydiving centers in the world) to hold the 5th Annual Skydiving event on Thursday, September 25 – 28, 2008. “In addition to being a fun acronym, we really want this boogie to live up to its name!” Skydive Arizona will bring their 3 massive planes with them. The 23 passenger Skyvan and 2 Twin Otters (both turbine, multi engines) and some additional event staff for organizing and manifesting.
Tandem skydives will be discounted to only $229 for the weekend with locals receiving and additional 15% off! After enjoying a 20-minute scenic flight, first time jumpers will exit the aircraft at 13,000 feet above the ground and free-fall for almost a minute before the instructor deploys their parachute! During the free-fall they will reach speeds of up to 120 mph and will be falling at 174 feet per second. That’s almost 6 seconds every thousand feet! After the instructor pulls the ripcord at 5000 feet, the parachute opens and student and instructor float gently back to earth. During the 5-7 minute canopy ride the pair will again experience the beauty of the Colorado River, Dead Horse Point, Castleton Tower, Arches and Canyonlands National Parks and so much more! If you haven’t seen Moab from a birds-eye-view, you haven’t really seen Moab!
During the four-day festival, jumping will take place at the Moab Airport, located just 15 minutes north of the Colorado River. So, whether you want to make your first skydive or just want to enjoy lunch under a sky full of brightly colored canopies, come out and share in the excitement!
Sept 25 – 28, 2008. 8 AM to Sunset Hope to see you there!
