We’ll provide a helmet and gloves, but feel free to bring your own if preferred.
Footwear: Wear good shoes suitable for running during takeoff. Hiking boots with strong tread and ankle support are ideal, but sneakers or running shoes are fine unless there’s snow or ice on the takeoff site.
Clothing: Bring a jacket suitable for the season—something that protects against the wind is perfect.
Accessories: Sunglasses are highly recommended for eye protection.
This will ensure you’re comfortable and fully prepared for a safe, enjoyable flight!
The entire experience takes around one hour, starting from when we meet you at the base of Treble Cone until we land back beside your car.
