Vertical Descent 6 – HU & HD edition

“Vertical Descent 6 was held at Skydive Ramblers last weekend on January 24,25,26. This was our first 3 day event and the first to cater to both Head Up and Head Down static flyers in 2 seperate groups.

Low clouds delayed us slightly on day 1 and more so on day 3 so we dirt dived some bigger formations in both orientations and debriefed some videos giving participants the chance to learn how bigger jumps were engineered. Coaches Matt Thomas and Dave Schlatter took 10 participants to the sky and Safe, Fun, Progressive jumps were had by all. We completed 11 jumps over the 3 days and saw some epic progression from the participants and some awesome formations were built. Outside cameramen Matt Smith and John Hannan captured some great footage that will be seen on the VD6 event edit released soon.

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