We had a devilish good time last week — newsletter #666 brought some seriously wicked fun to the skies! Between Tandem thrills, AFF graduations, and loads of student progress, it felt like the DZ was on fire (in the best way possible). Here’s what went down while we danced with gravity and raised a little hell at altitude…
🏁 First Jump Course
Emanuele, Daniel C. and Manuel kicked off their skydiving journey in the classroom on Monday the 23rd of June. And on Saturday the 28th, we welcomed Xinji Zhu (who went straight for the Addiction Package) and Nikita into their First Jump Course. They’re now learning the theory of how to skydive solo. Just wait until you get your knees in the breeze, you’ll love it!
⭐ Student Progression
This week, we welcomed several new students to the AFF program. Daniel got through Stages 1 to 4, while his brother Manuel completed Stages 1 to 3. Stuart began his journey with Stage 1. William made excellent progress, completing Stages 1 through 6. Cash also had a solid start, finishing Stages 1 to 4. Great work from all of you — the sky’s your new classroom!
Among our ongoing students, Gabrielle completed both Stages 3 & 4 and Sam continued advancing with his Stages 3 and 4.
John (Jinzhou) powered through Stages 3 to 9, while Daan wrapped up his course with Stage 9 Hop ’n’ Pop. Congratulations to both for completing their AFF Courses! 🎉
☀️ Coach, B-Rels, and Fun Jumps
Macayla got stuck into her B-Rel 4 with Marcee, and managed to squeeze in a few fun jumps too. Leanne worked through B-Rel 4, and Richard nailed B-Rels 4 and 5. Samantha was also back in the air with Marcee for a bunch of fun jumps.
And on the weekend Scott Hiscoe ran the BURN Bigways event. Watch this space for photos of the BURN PERSPECTIVE crew.
🪂 Tandems
A big high five to our Tandem passengers Akshay, Glenn, and Echo. Atharv, Eden, Teresa, Adrian, Jace, Glenys, and Sophia got a Handycam video to memorise their leap of faith. Brendan and Adin also took the plunge and took home a bunch of Handycam freefall photos to remember their moment.
And a special shoutout to Tania, who jumped with Tandem Master Robin and had outside video and stills captured by Chloe— an epic perspective on an unforgettable experience!
Cheers to everyone who made it out, helped out, jumped in, or just brought the good vibes. Here’s to blue skies ahead…
Catch you in freefall, The Ramblers Crew 🪂
