TSC STAR CRESTs

“A successful and fun day all round for star crest jumps at Ramblers on Saturday. We had lots of helpers and potential crestees and punched out three jumps. Many thanks to Nelson, Dawn, Samantha, Millie and Greg for helping out. Crestees Glenn, Sabin, Jason and Chris all brought great attitudes and skills to the jumps, and a number of successful completions were achieved.
 
Congratulations to Glenn, Sabine and Chris for successful star crest jumps, and to Sabine for completing the ASC crest qualification.
 
Many thanks as well to Ramblers, SQPC and Toogoolawah Skydivers Club for supporting this and many other events at Ramblers.”

My experience of a tandem skydive was for my 40th Birthday. I could not imagine possibly enjoying myself any more than what I did today. Thank you to my tandem guide and the video guys. Instructions were very clear and thorough about what to do, what to expect and I got a great tour guide experience up in the air. I look forward to doing it again.
