Drop Zone Action

We had two big weeks at the Drop Zone filled with Students, Tandems, B-Rels, and Fun Jumpers. We also celebrated 🪂 India, 🪂 Craig, 🪂 Jordy, and 🪂 Josh completing their Stage 9 jumps and finishing their AFF Course, which is always a massive milestone. Nice work team!

🏁 First Jump Course

Our Senior Instructor Sara ran  First Jump Courses for Samuel and Josh, who both signed up for a 15 Jump Package to get right into the action. Sam completed Stages 1-3, while Josh powered through his entire AFF Course from Stages 1-9 in only three days. Welcome to the skies! Sara also welcomed Matt and Hongkai to the course. Matt completed Stages 1-3 and Hongkai ticked off Stages 1 and 2. Welcome to the skies!

Student Progression

James completed Stage 3 this week. Adam kept moving forward with Stages 2-4. And Nakai made great progress from Stages 2-7.

India rounded out her training with Stages 8 and 9, Craig wrapped things up in style with Stage 9, and Jordy powered through Stages 7 and 9. Congratulations to all three of you for having completed your AFF Courses with Stage 9 – an awesome effort.

Thanks to our Instructors for looking after the students and keeping everyone safe in freefall and under canopy, Toddy, Robin, Steve, Millie, Shani, Lisa, Emily, Marc, and Wayne.

Tandem Skydivers

We had plenty of Tandem jumpers across the fortnight, starting with Clancy and Emma, who shared a load with Angus. Nalannah jumped on the same load as her partner and our student Adam, and they even managed a hi-five before exit. We also welcomed Alesha, Nicole, Ashley, Morgan, and Libbie to the skies.

Glen joined us using a Tandem Gift Voucher from the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail, and congratulations to him for making the leap. Shane, James, Jeffery, and Ruairi also took the plunge with us.

Guest Book comments from 6 December included Ciaran, who wrote: “Very Fun! Staff was a good laugh.”. Rachel shared: “Had a blast! Definitely going again!”. And Martina added: “BLOODY PHENOMENAL, LET’S GET IT!!!”

Thanks to our Tandem Masters Robin and Ty, who ran Handycam for some of our brave passengers, as well as Shani and Adam. Special thanks also go to Tom and Steve, who flew outside camera for those extra epic angles.

Big cheers to those who took the Video/Photo Package to capture that unforgettable first jump! And an extra thanks to everyone who left reviews – your words inspire the next generation of skydivers.

B-Rels, Coach- & Fun Jumps

Albin completed his B-Rels 1 jump with coach Emily, and David jumped with coach Li and continued building those skills. Great work all round.

On Saturday 29 November, we hosted The Flying Nachos Angle Camp with Alvaro and a strong crew of coaches and more than 18 participants. The Fun Jumpers absolutely sent it throughout the day and kept the vibe high. Go Nachos!🌶

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🪂

Had an absolute great time learning this amazing sport... I am absolutely hooked. My partner also did 2 tandem jumps, considering that she doesn't like flying or heights and yet due to the nature of Ramblers and their instructors and staff, she is definitely hooked as well. Absolutely recommend Ramblers either for an experience of a life time or to complete a full course. You will not regret it.
