“Vertical Descent 8 went straight down at Skydive Ramblers last weekend on May 17 & 18. It was the 1 year anniversary of our first event and we celebrated accordingly with another ripper camp!!
The progression we have seen in the last year is through the roof and we are just getting started! We ran this one combining both orientations with a 9 way HD group and a 4 way HU group with John Hannan running outside camera.
Saturday morning saw a bit of cloud but once we got going the weather turned it on for the rest of the weekend! We completed 9 jumps over the 2 days and saw some epic progression and leveling up!
Special thanks to all of the participants, coaches and camera. Skydive Ramblers and all of the team, SQPC and TSC for their continued support! It would not be possible without you all!
See you at the next one.”

Hey guys,
Thanks for running the Learning Curve Camp last week! It was run to your usual high standard and was a very beneficial experience, especially given my lack of currency after the main COVID closures. I thoroughly enjoy attending these weeks and really appreciate the time dedicated by the whole team at Ramblers, including the instructors, manifest, cafe team, aviation crew/pilots, and support staff. You are all legends and I look forward to coming out again in the near future.
Cheers, Adam.
