Achievements
Many people think skydiving is easy…….just throw yourself out of a plane, open your parachute and land….but for most of us ‘adrenaline seekers’ skydiving is more than that. It’s about having body control, mental control, learning from your mistakes, not getting discouraged if it wasn’t a ‘perfect’ skydive or a ‘perfect’ landing, overcoming stress and just being ‘FREE’.
Over the last few weeks Ripcord Skydivers Drop Zone has seen a lot of achievements, not only in skydiving itself but in personal growth, gratification and new friendships too.

Two of our pilots, Rawan and Andrew have also taken the leap of faith. Rawan doing a Tandem Skydive (Solo next time Rawan) and Andrew is currently working towards gaining his International A licence.

A big welcome back to Thyra who started her course two years ago, but never finished…..Thyra has only four more jumps to go before she completes her International A licence.

Congratulations to everyone. Thank you for the memorable times, interesting exits and great landings. We look forward to jumping with you in the future. Stay safe and keep the fun times happening.
Skydiving is unique and highly dangerous BUT with the appropriate training, equipment and knowledge skydiving can be a safe and an enjoyable sport!
