Drop Zone Action

Beautiful weather was upon us all week. Mild fog most mornings as we head into the cooler month, it doesn’t stay for long. Was a good turn out this week with most students finished their AFF course, whilst our new students got amongst all the action and fun. For the fun jumpers, the Belly Bash event started out slow due to the weather, but everyone got a few jumps in over the weekend.

Ramblers new AFF students for the week were Jack, Curtis, Hamish, Jordan, Mitchell and Dominic. Our ongoing students for the week were Daniel, Jay and Diana, who continued through their AFF Course.  Certificate B training B-Rel jumps were done by: Gert, Diego, David, Jared, Tuli (x2), and Scott.

And we welcomed our newest Tandem skydivers: Sallie, Barbara, Christopher, Jennifer and Johanna – big High-Fives to all that took the leap, we look forward to seeing you all coming back for more.

Belly Bash (25th May)

“Well, Saturday was certainly suboptimal on the weather front, but that didn’t stop 20 undeterred BellyBashers descending on Ramblers to get some belly goodness!

Our determination paid off, and the weather Gods rewarded us with two jumps in the afternoon! We did variations of a technically challenging 6-way arrowhead, and it was awesome to see the progress made between the jumps – especially amongst the lesser-experienced fliers!!

As ever, thanks heaps to our sponsors, Ramblers, TSC, SQPC and Mee Loft and our camera fliers Michael and Fitchy for capturing the goodness!!

Bill, Just a note to say thanks to you mate for your continued support it was a great trip. I would also like to bring to your leadership teams attention the exceptional support provided by Andy who did the tandem jump with a great friend of mine, Julie. To say Julie was petrified on the lead up to the big day would be a huge understatement. I had my doubts that she would actually exit on the day. I put her decision to exit firmly in the hands of Andy who excelled in calming her down, reassuring her whilst having a bit of a laugh along the way. The manner in which he guided her through what was to her a daunting task was oustanding to watch. He should be commended not only for his flight skills but also his raport and interaction with the customer. I was not surprised to find out he had a military background. Ramblers should be proud to have such fine men on their books as you and Andy, Bill.
