All Levels Canopy Course

“This weekend Aaron Fels and I ran an all levels canopy course.

We had a total of 12 participants with their experience levels ranging from Cert-A jumpers to jumpers who were trying to fine-tune their high performance landings. We started day 1 with two separate theory seminars (one basic and one high performance) based on their experience level, before all the participants started jumping. We split the participants in two groups, and each group spent one day with each coach. Most of the participants did 12 jumps over the two days and it was amazing to see their progression throughout the event.

Thank you to the SPQC and APF for supporting these events and Skydive Ramblers for hosting us!”

Belly Bash – Load Organising with Dawn & Chris

“A huge shout out to the 27 amazing people who joined us for Belly Bash yesterday – thank you for making it such an enjoyable one! All of the organisers and group leaders (Abby, Travis, Emily) were stoked to see the progress you all made. We were grinning over dinner talking about the amazing examples of people who those who have been working on their fall rate and seeing progress, are learning to dress for success, are enjoying flying with bigger groups of people, come back after a while off and got straight back into it, are reminding us of how geeking is done, show incredible patience and determination when others would have given up!

Photos to follow – videos of the jumps are always on the NAS if you want copies for yourself, just don’t forget to credit our eyes in the sky (Luke, Jason or me) if you share the videos.

Thank to you to Skydive Ramblers, Toogoolawah Skydivers Club Inc, Queensland Parachuting Association – NQPC and SQPC and Mee Loft for the incredible support and sponsorship that enables people to join in Belly Bash to help them progress their skydiving with no rego or extra costs. We all appreciate it!”
