OUR STORY
Skydive Kansas City was opened in May 1998 by Chris & John Hall. John started skydiving in 1973 and has witnessed the industry go from old military round parachutes to todays modern Ram-air canopies. John has been known in the skydiving Kansas City area for years as one of the best demonstration jump skydivers in the region making jumps all over the metro since the early 70’s.
Chris started skydiving at the age of 18 and traveled the country with his expert skills in freefall photography and even competed in the ESPN X games Pro Tour in 1996. With a combination of over 7000 jumps between the two of them, you had a family and staff that was committed to offering the very best possible experience in the sky.
After a long and successful career, Chris made the decision to retire from the skydiving industry in 2023 and, as a result, Little Engine Ventures acquired the operation in 2024. LEV has exciting plans to continue operating the dropzone meeting and exceeding the standards set forth by Chris & John Hall.
OUR PLANS FOR THE FUTURE
Skydive Kansas City is committed to offering its skydiving Kansas City customers the very best in customer service, equipment, training and safety at a fair and affordable price. We have the vision to continue to grow the sport of skydiving and to share our love of the skies with all those that so desire.
We look forward to the challenges and growth that skydiving brings to us every season. We welcome you to our sport and hope you find the reward and excitement that drives us daily to do what we love to do.
