What Reed coaches

About Reed

My skydiving journey started in an unlikely place: a paralyzing fear of airplanes. Years ago, I took my Ink Monstr staff on a team-building skydive as a way to face that fear head-on. Seven years later, I did another tandem in Oceanside—and this time, something clicked. What once represented fear suddenly felt like freedom. Since then, skydiving has become a huge part of my life. I’ve made thousands of jumps, traveled the world visiting more than 30 drop zones, trained regularly at Fly4Life and Moving Days angle camps, and made Skydive Elsinore my home DZ. But when it comes to coaching, I’m all about one thing: FUN. I believe the best progression happens one jump at a time. There’s no need to rush, compare yourself to other jumpers, or turn every skydive into a performance test. My approach is about being present, staying safe, building solid fundamentals, and enjoying the simple wins that come with each jump. Whether you’re working through fear, building confidence, learning new skills, or simply trying to become a better flyer, I want you to land from every jump feeling like you learned something, progressed—and had a damn good time doing it. Stay present. Stay safe. Have fun. Progress one jump at a time.
