I started skydiving during college in 2012 at Skydive Orange and now have around 500 skydives. After graduating college I worked for 3 years as a tunnel instructor at iFly VA Beach and have a couple hundred plus hours of tunnel time. I love coming to Orange any chance I get and look forward to any opportunity to fun jump or organize.

I am in love with 4way and any FS flying in general. I competed for two years with Carolina Dynamic in 4-way FS and we placed 3rd in Intermediate at the 2014 USPA National Championships. I have around 750 jumps and believe that success in skydiving comes from always wanting to learn more and challenging yourself. My favorite thing is having a good hard laugh during freefall.

Since then, I've done about 1400 skydives (mostly freefly), 100-200 hours of tunnel, and have participated in many world and state freefly records. I look forward to helping other skydivers progress while organizing some fun jumps at Skydive Orange!

Adam Newcomb

FF Organizer

I'll do any type of skydiving...even RW...but I'll be sure to wreck the exit so it feels like I'm freeflying! Originally from New Jersey, I started skydiving at Cross Keys. After moving to Virginia I started focusing on flying in every orientation possible. At the moment, I have a little over 1,500 skydives and love to tunnel with anyone willing. It's been incredible seeing the freefly community continue to grow and improve here in the state so if you want to be a part of it...come find me at the DZ!!!

I started jumping in 2011 and have ~2400 skydives and an unknown amount of tunnel time! My passion lies in flying small canopies, I LOVE SWOOPING, but I also love MFS and VFS! I have competed at USPA Canopy Nationals and USPA Free-fall nationals. I love jumping with folks of all skill level, and seeing folks progress in their own skydiving! Swoops up

I’ve been skydiving since 97’, well if you count a single static line from 3grand, 3 tandems in 2001, it took me a decade before I knew what I was missing in life. The freedom that skydiving gives you and the great opportunity to meet people whom are just as passionate as you are. Earned my license in 2009 and haven’t missed a year since. Over 1600 skydives in most disciplines but mostly freefly and angle. Organized for several Carolinafest boogies and I am looking forward to meet and jump with the folks of Skydive Orange!

The largest tandem skydiving center near Northern Virginia, Washington D.C. and Maryland.
