Another big week at Ramblers with Students, Tandems, B-Rels, and Fun Jumpers all getting amongst the action. A big welcome to the skies to our new AFF Stage 1 students Rylee and Hannah, as well as Matias and Jake, who also got their first AFF jumps underway. Congratulations to Lafa on earning his A-Certificate, Roni on his C-Certificate, and a huge milestone shout-out to Toddy for his 2800th jump! We also saw plenty of B-Rel progression, refresher jumps, and tandem adventures throughout the week.

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 🪂

They helped me overcome all my fears! It was INCREDIBLE!

So last week I did a tandem jump!!!!! Was such a mad time! 🤯🤪🤩😮🤗 I've never wanted to skydive before but was asked to do it for work, so I really quite nervous. But the team at Ramblers Toogoolawah were so professional and cool that they made it such an undeniably EPIC and INCREDIBLE experience! Would even do it again! Highly recommend jumping there.
