TSC Star Crests with Toddy

“The Starcrest ran really well. I was really proud of my Starcrestee’s. Giovanni managed to get all 3 Star Crests. Robert managed to achieve 2 of his, which was great. Chase & Paride both managed to get 1 each, both tried really hard. A big thanks to my Team that helped out, which was Travis, Daniel & Lee who were awesome in building the perfect base each jump. A big thanks to Reece who flew camera on all three jumps. The day was great & i would love to do another Star Crest day again really soon.”

Toddy.
