B-Rels, Coach & Fun Jumps

Coach jumps kept things moving as well, with Jan completing a recurrency jump, Brittany progressing through B-Rel Stages 3 and 4, and Dani continuing her B-Rel training.

Thanks to our coaches Alex S., Lisa, Toddy, and Li for their guidance and support.

On the Fun Jumpers side of things, Tom celebrated his 50th jump milestone in style – congratulations on the achievement.

The weekend also saw Angelo’s School of Bigways – Downunder edition, bringing together a great group of participants for some excellent skydives. Highlights included a 2-point 26-way and a 14-way open accordion, with many jumpers achieving personal firsts such as largest formations and first formation loads.

A big thank you to Angelo Declerck and Mark Gerard Higgins for the coaching, Doug Pryor for organising the event, and all camera flyers, event supporters, and sponsors. Be sure to check out the brilliant Fitchimages by Steve Fitchett.
