Narrative:

At asd. I had finished my pre-flight and saw 2 skydivers land at asd. I thought the area was clear. I started up my airplane called taxi and another skydiver landed in front of me; off the landing zone. There was 5-10 minutes between the first 2 landings and the third. Was evasive action taken? Yes; I stopped my taxi. This sky-diving landing zone needs to be moved to the south end of the field.
