Achievement & Congratulations

⭐️ Jarod – 100 Jumps Milestone

Drop Zone Action

The sun was shining, and the weather was great this week to the delight of our students and fun jumpers.

Our new student for the week started her AFF journey with us with Tandem Stage 1 to Stage 5. On-going students for this week were Patrick with Stages 5 to 7. Keep it up guys, it’s great to see you all in the air. Congrats to Reece for completing his Stage 9! Shakira and Ben completed two B-Rel jumps each.

Taking to the skies were our Tandem Brooke, Nicholas, Isobel Rose and Marina. Big congrats to all.

And over the weekend, the first ever B.A.B.E.S event was run at Ramblers.

Need a jump buddy?

And if you have finished your training and you are looking for someone to jump with, let manifest know and they will put you in contact with our Load Energiser, who will match you up with a jump buddy. No charge. All you pay for is your own jump slot.

“Believe it or not, skydiving is not all about adrenaline – it’s about community.
The skydiving community is an amazing family of supportive and likeminded individuals, with shared passions, a thirst for adventure and open arms for new members! And that is what B.A.B.E.S is all about – Bad Ass Babes Embracing Skydiving 💕

Last weekend, ladies from all over Australia gathered at Skydive Ramblers, embracing rain and shine, from yoga sessions on the ground to flying high in pink suits. The event was an absolute blast, with good vibes all round, amazing prizes from sponsors and a very happy group of sky sisters!

Keep your eyes peeled, the video highlight reel is coming soon 👀”

“That’s a wrap from a rainy to sunny weekend—planks and headstands on the ground to flying high in suits! B.A.B.E.S (Bad Ass Babes Embracing Skydiving) had an absolute blast, snagged prizes from our amazing sponsors, and the video highlight reel is coming soon! 🌟🪂

A huge thank you to Steve Fitch for showing up on Saturday and capturing some amazing shots on the ground, despite being injured: your support means so much! And then, we all went for our one load of the day, but Sunday? It was a whole different vibe, and I’ll let the video do the talking!

A big shoutout to i-Fly Brisbane, SQPC, TSC, OGIO, Cookie, Ben Nordkamp, and Kristan Fischer for their incredible prizes! Also, thank you to the Ramblers staff for taking such great care of us and keeping everything running smoothly. And, of course, a massive thank you to our camera flyers, Hoff & Wayne, you guys made it all possible!”
