Nachos Angle School – Corn Chips Camp 1
“On the weekend of October 28th and 29th, Skydive Ramblers hosted an exhilarating event organized by the Nachos Angle School and The Corn Chips Program. Coaches Alvaro Abreu and Claudio Manganiello guided nine enthusiastic participants, dividing them into two groups for thrilling beginner and intermediate jumps. Despite challenging winds on Saturday, the event continued with a dedicated focus on safety and education. Participants were treated to an informative and engaging PowerPoint presentation, covering essential topics such as safety measures, optimal angles, and valuable lessons learned throughout the years.
The weekend featured three jumps on Saturday and six jumps on Sunday, each set against the backdrop of epic sunset views. But it wasn’t just about jumps; participants had the unique opportunity to master skills such as exiting the plane, approaching their slot safely, navigating at different speeds, and improving break-off procedures. They also delved into the principles of navigation, wind awareness, and group dynamics. To wrap up the fantastic weekend, everyone enjoyed a pub meal, sharing stories and the Nacho culture vibe, which is all about having fun and making long-lasting connections. This event was more than just a skydiving experience; it was a vibrant and inclusive community of skydiving enthusiasts.”
Was anxious-as coming in to start my AFF course, but these guys truly put me at ease. Felt more like joining a members club than just buying a commercial course. Great atmosphere - encouraging staff - awesome experience.....Now I just gotta get back and complete the course!
