Robert Olson, a cardiologist, and his mother, JoAnn Olson, known for her work with the Friends of Plymouth Pound, a group dedicated to helping homeless pets. Some may know Olson through his father, Dr. The season will run from April to December. The 80-feet-by-80-foot course and park is set to open within the next few weeks from 9 a.m. He bought the 3-acre parcel on Meadow Park Road back in 2006 and realized it was perfect for an adventure park.
Olson said he decided to build his own adventure course in Plymouth after enjoying a ride on a Zip-Line and realizing how popular they were. These types of adventure courses are popular, particularly in New Hampshire. Don't pass it up.“It’s incredibly fun and also builds confidence,” Olson said. When more fun-jumpers and tandems find out about PSS, they will probably start bringing in bigger aircraft more frequently. I predict PSS is going to grow in acclaim, and will bring more people into the sport with there mix of professionalism and friendly midwest feel. You can campout and there is plenty of parking. They bring in a Caravan twice a month in the summer, which makes for a BOSS time. It would be awesome if PSS had bigger planes, but this is a small DZ (but with room to grow).

This is the IDEAL place to do your first skydive, do a tandem, or do a Tandem Progression or AFF program and become a real, solo skydiver you will get all the individual attention you need, and an intimate feel which is very important, plus the landing zone is huge, with very low air traffic and lots of outs, so I can't think of a safer place to learn.
they've even got a well-stocked little snack bar (kuerig coffee, chips, powerbars, and sodas) and they don't gouge you on prices (sodas are a buck, water is a buck, etc.).Īs someone who's been around the sport for about 10 years, this is perhaps the nicest little DZ I've ever seen. They've got all the little things down too. I'm amazed at everything they can do there. They've got a nice, big, clean packing area, and a (nearly) full-service rigging shop with lots of new gear for sale (helmets, GoPros, gloves, etc.) all for very reasonable prices. Manifest staff are organized, very accomodating and service oriented. Troy, the proprietor, is the perfect mix of safety-conscious, reasonable, fair, businesslike, and friendly, and Steve and Jennie, who fly camera and run the rigging shop, are both superb flyers, and SUPER nice and welcoming. I can't say enough good things about Plymouth Sky Sports. Especially if you show up on a weekend, don't plan on jumping solo! There is a good and uncliquey core of fun jumpers at many experience levels, some who travel from other DZs frequently because jumping at Plymouth is such a great experience, others who are homegrown and have been given every reason to stay loyal. The rental gear is inspected every 25 jumps, and I've overheard several visiting pilots comment that the 182 is in the nicest shape they've seen. My first reserve ride was on a tandem-crazy day-and I can't tell you what a big impression it made on me that the DZO and S&TA *both* came out to pick me up (read: make sure I was okay and find out whether I dealt properly with the malfunction). Then even after finishing off your A license, the staff is always watching and offering tips to improve canopy control and freefall skills, no matter how busy they are.
From your first tandem you have the chance to deploy and help fly and land the canopy. A (mainly) 182 dropzone that manages to be a great experience for fun jumpers, solo students, and tandems! The focus is always on becoming a better, safer skydiver.
