When you think of Skydive Chicago, what do you think of? Do you think of the fact that right here in the Illinois Valley we have one of the biggest skydiving locations in the nation? Do you think of their amazing facility, with camping, dining, disc golf, and swimming? How about that they break world records year after year with massive multi-jumper vertical formations?
Or are you like so many locals who only think of an outdated stigma?
This week we review the facilities statistics, plus we welcome a very special guest. On the show, is a world record holding professional skydiver who also happens to be the owner of Skydive Chicago, Rook Nelson. We talk to Rook about the past, present, and future of the business. It was a wonderful interview and we hope you enjoy it. After the big interview, we do our Tweets of the Week plus a review of our latest podcast listening.
And since we forgot to plug Rook’s online handles during the show, here they are…
