What if I come out and take the class and decide not to jump?

Can I jump again the same day if I like it?
Yes. Jump TN has a special offer for your second tandem. If you pay for it within 1 week of your first jump, it will only cost you $219. You can use it that same day, or save it and use it for up to one year later.

Photos and Video
Can we get one video for our whole group?
No, our smaller aircraft holds four people and the pilot because the camera person takes up a spot each tandem with video will go one at a time. When we have larger planes the time/distance gap between jumper exits preclude a camera person from being able to film more than one student at a time. Each tandem that purchases video will have their own videographer.
