Drop Zone Action

Another beautiful week for some fun and exciting skydiving. Bit of a quiet week after all the previous events that have been run here at Ramblers…

Henry returned and completed his refresher course and jump. Big shout out to Carlos, and Patrick who continued their AFF courses this week – Patrick completed Stage 4, and Carlos did his Stage 3. B-Rel jumps were done by Herny, Dani, Mitch (x2), and Charleen. Our Tandem for the week was Alan. Big congrats to all who took the leap!

Vertical Descent 5 was on during the weekend, the event was aimed towards intermediate Head Up free flyers, run my Matt Thomas. Check out the fun jumpers photos and VD5 Video in our galleries below.

VD5 – Vertical Descent 5

“Vertical Descent 5 was held at Skydive Ramblers last weekend on November 2 & 3. This was our very first intermediate Static Head Up event consisting of 3 groups. 

The weather was not nice to us for the first few hours on day 1 but we got started around lunchtime and did not stop until the end of day 2. Coaches Matt, Jacob and Luke took 11 participants to the sky and Safe, Fun, Progressive jumps were had by all and we saw some epic progression! Most participants completed 9 jumps over the 2 days and went home with lots of knowledge about all aspects of Head Up formation flying. 

Special thanks to all of the participants and coaches, Skydive Ramblers and all of the team, SQPC and TSC for their continued support! It would not be possible without you all!”

See ya,

Macca and Team Ramblers.

That was the most exciting adrenalin rush I have ever had. It was made so easy by the staff and those who jumped at the same time as I did. Not only did I feel included, but the genuine friendly nature of the people in that plane dissolved any nerves I had. What was so invigorating to see, was the eagerness of all to get out of the plane with no hesitation. Now: to the guy who took me as a Tandem, Tye, I know this man personally and wanted to jump with him. That never distracted from the professionalism shown and practiced by this Tandem Master. You made it easy and fun and beyond that safe. You are one top notch flier and I will jump again with you should I ever decide to do it again. Thank you so much everyone.
