Since 2020, every year during the Independence Boogie, we announce the year’s Chicagoland Skydiving Center Legend. The CSC Legend of each year is awarded to an exceptional skydiver at the drop zone that calls CSC home. The honor isn’t always given out to the most talented jumper. Instead, more emphasis is given to their demeanor. And in their honor, a theme resembling them is created for the party, as well as  gifts and activities. 

There’s no getting around it, skydiving can be a terrifying prospect! At its core, jumping out of an airplane in flight involves trying to override one of the most primal fears we, as humans, have — the fear of heights. We are simply hard-wired to be scared of falling because we know instinctively that falling generally doesn’t end well, but here’s the significant bit… It’s SO MUCH FUN!
