Vertical Descent 5 – Head Up

Tuesday, November 5, 2024

“Vertical Descent 5 was held at Skydive Ramblers on the weekend of 2nd & 3rd November 2024. 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! ”

Today I went flying for the first time in a long time, as I had a stroke 3 and a bit years ago. Just wanted say thank u Ramblers for bringing me a great day and a bit of normality back in my life. Again I would like to thank all the people that truly made my day and the special man, that looked after me. It won't be my last time out there. And would recommend this experience to anyone. Again thanks to everybody involved.
