Viva Portugal ! We have our first group this year from Portugal who have come for a mix of load organizing in freefly and freefly coaching. The experience of the guys range from 500 to 5000 jumps. The Portuguese four way team have also stopped in for a few days jumping before heading onto Empuria. This week we have 15 people from portugal mostly experienced , 15 from the UK, mix of AFF courses and formation skydiving , 5 from Germany and about 20 people from Spain to include 5 new skydivers from Madrid! Nice.. .The atmosphere is fantastic and we wonder what it will be next year when we have our own ***** and advertise an easter boogie!

Thursday 21st April

Sorry for the lack of updates in the last days things have been flat out on the dropzone.

Heres a picture from one of our FS1 graduates Nick Selmes . He did a cracking twelve points on the course and is now spending his time doing formaton skydiving 2 ways with Ian Newlands.

All aboard! Another full Freefall Uni load takes to the skies. Edward is telling us the climb rate on the new -27 engine is unreal with a full cycle to 13,500ft taking fifteen minutes. We wonder what our -34 engined aircraft is going to be like.

Check out Edward this is about ten seconds after exit.

All our students have graduates now and are jumping solo . Here is a picture of Federico from Lisbon on his level two.

Here is Gina after another solo! Gina has done really well on the course. She had some static line ( Raps ) before arrriving from Berlin but had become frustrated with the slow progression that this system can offer as a method to learn to skydive.

Congratulation to Wendy who passed her AFF course and who has finished her consol jumps.. they are all for fun now Wendy. Wednesday is Wendys last day .. lets see hoe many jumps she can do in a week. If you get 25 or more you earn the new first name of exteme!

The centre is seeing a steady increase in the number of AFF students coming from Madrid .. maybe its the vibe , the proximity ..the instruction who knows …

Anyway here is Pedro on his level one.. Check Edward out ( what you reckon confuzed ? )

Stick out those legs .. if your instructor gives you a two finger ..he aint..err..been rude hes just telling you to push you legs.

This is the most common signal during an AFF course as you cant see your legs so have to ” feel ” them..

Extreme squared ! Sylvan is getting well into the freefly .. havent seen a relative work suit on you in ages man.. he is pictured here doing an exit with Nasco one of hte packers and the doctor ..
