Northern Beaches Mums iFLY Experience

Michaela, a Northern Beaches Mum, got the opportunity to try out iFLY Downunder with her two children Thomas (11) and Melissa (7) and here is her raving review…

I’ve always wanted to say I had done a sky dive but being scared of heights you would never get me sitting in that small plane and jumping out! No way, hose!

Firstly, the centre is out at Penrith so a nice family drive, WARNING: DO NOT BE PUT OFF THAT YOU HAVE TO DRIVE… it is worth the travel? HELL YES!!!!!  This is a fantastic experience for the whole family, so if you are looking for something different to do and something that you’ll always remember, then this is it!

I was visiting the centre with my husband, my best friend from abroad and my two kids who are 11 and 7. The kids were super excited but i was feeling pretty nervous and my husband was still in shock that I’d booked this as I don’t normally go in for anything energetic and especially adrenaline pumping.

So… on arrival we started to get a little excited. It is a big centre with lots of seating where everyone can view the people that are currently in the wind tunnel area doing their sky dives. There’s also a café there with food and drink BONUS… I got cake and coffee so I was happy!

The staff are super helpful and friendly, and they took us in a room for our pre-flight training and safety talk and to get us kitted out in our flight gear, goggles and helmets. Now I was dreading putting the suit on as I thought I’d look ridiculous and fat but another bonus is that the suit was super slimming, I actually looked slimmer BONUS!!! and I was yet again feeling more and more pumped about booking this experience and ready to show the kids that this mummy still had some fun in her. Yes the nagging, tired, worn out, drained mummy was gone and here was super mama!! ready to go go go!! I could see the kids looking at me like is this really our mum… did they put something in coffee at the café!!! who hoo lets goooo!!!

It’s time for the skydive and you’re about to go in… oh wait a minute quick toilet trip for us all as we don’t want any accidents in there! Once you’re all ready you all have to put your headphones on to cancel the noise as it is REALLY NOISEY in there! So once you go in there’s lots of sign language going on (no bickering from the kids as you can’t hear a word they’re saying… BONUS).

CLICK HERE to read the full review and visit the Northern Beaches Mums website.

From the team at iFLY Downunder, thank you to Michaela and Northern Beaches Mums for visiting and writing this fantastic review of your experience!

Luxury Escapes Feature

Article by Luxury Escapes

We’ve Discovered a Thrill-Seeking Experience That Not Even The Bad Weather Can Ruin

It’s a craze that appears to be taking over the entire nation, with centers popping up in Sydney, Perth and the Gold Coast. Indoor skydiving seems to tick all the boxes when it comes to family fun these summer holidays and if you have a daredevil child who is a little too young to jump out of a plane just yet – this is sure to give them a much-needed adrenaline fix.

We caught up with Cheryl Dawson, iFLY’s National Marketing Manager and a highly-skilled indoor skydiver to uncover the craze.

How did the idea to open Australia’s first state-of-the-art indoor skydive center come about and how did you get involved? 

Indoor skydiving was originally developed to allow experienced skydivers to train, whatever the weather. These days indoor skydiving has soared in popularity around the world and become an adventure sport in its own right. Indoor Skydive Australia Group Limited (ISA Group) was established by Wayne Jones and Daniel Hogan to bring world-class indoor skydiving facilities to Australia, New Zealand and South East Asian regions. These facilities, allowing human flight within a safe environment, are currently used by tourists, skydiving enthusiasts and military throughout the world.

I’ve always loved sport and adrenaline activities, so as soon as I tried indoor skydiving for the first time I was hooked. In 2016 I was fortunate enough to join the iFLY team after moving back to Sydney from the South Coast. I now fly every week, attend monthly events such as Ladies Night (my favourite!), and this year I competed at the 2018 Australian Open Indoor Skydiving Championships – a national competition where flyers from all over the country and even the world come together to fly. I can’t imagine working anywhere else now; I love my job and my favourite part is seeing people overcome adversity and learning to fly on their own.

What’s the appeal of skydiving indoors? 

The appeal of indoor skydiving is that it’s suitable for all ages and abilities, there’s no limitation on the what you can learn, you can do it by yourself or in a team, and there’s no need to worry about bad weather or lengthy plane rides as you would for outdoor skydiving. It’s both a kids activity and an activity for seniors and it’s fully accessible which is quite incredible given the physical nature of flying and the perception of skydiving being a somewhat extreme activity.

Our new virtual reality technology is taking indoor skydiving to another level again with skydiving visuals now accompanying the physical motion of flying – this is the first of its kind in Australia and we can’t wait for everyone to try it.

Who can participate in a VR Indoor Skydiving session/who would this make a perfect gift for?  

VR is suitable for ages 8+ which is fantastic for kids who still have a few more years before being able to do an outdoor tandem skydive.
VR is the perfect gift for thrill seekers, those who aren’t able to skydive for either fear of heights, planes or health issues, and for anyone who has thought about how cool it would be to skydive on their own or even BASE jump – which is pretty much considered the ultimate in extreme sports that takes years of skydiving practice before being able to even consider attempting it.

At the moment we’re offering virtual reality flights over Hawaii and the Swiss Alps, as well as a wingsuit BASE jump, so there’s something for everyone.

How long does each session last and what training is involved before you hop into the wind tunnel?   

Each indoor skydiving flight is 50 seconds long, which is the same as the freefall part of a skydive from 14,000ft. The VR flights are slightly longer, around 1 minute 10 seconds, allowing time to jump out of the plane, helicopter or off the cliff!

Flight sessions work on 30-minute rotations, so you and your fellow flyers rotate between flights giving you a break in between and the chance to watch your mates flying.

The training and gear up process to indoor skydive takes around 20 minutes. You will watch a brief video on how the wind tunnel works and how to enter and exit the tunnel; then you will practice your body position and learn the hand signals that the instructor will use to communicate with you in the wind – with the loud tunnel and all that air flying by, using voice commands isn’t an option! If you’re someone with low vision, the instructor will work with you on some physical prompts, such as a tap on the top of the foot to indicate that you need to straighten your legs.

What’s the most amazing adrenaline-filled experience you’ve ever had on holiday?  

I love rides and I love flying! I love going to theme parks and trying everything they have, and if there’s an indoor skydiving centre where I’m holidaying then you will absolutely find me there flying. I’ve also done a helicopter ride over an erupting volcano in Hawaii, that was pretty incredible.

Virtual Reality (VR) has arrived!

iFLY Indoor Skydiving Downunder, Australia’s largest facility for indoor skydiving, have introduced Virtual Reality as part of their experience offers, a revolutionary first for the Australian market.

“Virtual Reality is something we have been working towards introducing into our facilities for a long time”, comments ISAG National Marketing Manager Cheryl Dawson, “We have been waiting for the technology to become advanced enough that the experience replicates the skydiving experience perfectly, we are very excited with our new product”.

Virtual reality will allow users a real-world skydiving experience, without the need to jump from a plane or even wear a parachute.

“Our iFLY VR experience has skyrocketed our indoor skydiving offering to a whole new level. During our testing phase we had some of the country’s best skydivers using the product, with many commenting on its realism and how they felt like they were really flying outdoors!”

The iFLY VR Experience allows the user to watch POV skydiving footage on a specially designed VR helmet that takes the indoor skydiving experience outdoors.

“While you are in the safety of our wind tunnel, you will be watching mountains and even other skydivers fly by from 14,000 feet! It’s really quite incredible.”

The iFLY VR Experience combines the latest in VR technology with the state-of-the-art wind tunnel creating the most realistic skydiving experience ever offered in Australia.

iFLY VR package is now available at iFLY Downunder (Sydney West) to fly from 19th November 2018.

The technology will also land at iFLY Gold Coast and iFLY Perth by the end of the month, making it the hottest new product on the market this Christmas.

AIRWAX at iFLY Downunder

Greg Crozier and Karine Joly are team Airwax and have been skydiving for over 35 years between them and competing as a skydiving Freefly team for 10 years. Team mates in life and the sport of skydiving, they get to travel the world to share their love of human flight. Currently in Australia for the World Parachuting Championships on the Gold Coast earlier this month, the duo and their camera flyer Baptiste Welsch flew to victory taking the Gold Medal in the Freefly discipline. Freefly is like sky gymnastics and dance put together in a beautiful flowing routine and to make their performance extra special for the Australian competition, Airwax wore Aboriginal inspired jumpsuits that they designed and commissioned.

Greg and Karine are now at iFLY Downunder in Penrith to pass on some of their knowledge and skills to Australian skydivers and indoor skydivers. Their 3 day tunnel-camp teaches a range of ages and abilities to fly their bodies. Training in a wind tunnel allows skydivers to accomplish lots in a day without the plane ride or having to pack their parachutes. It also means coaches can give their students in-air instruction without also having to purchase a plane ticket as an added expense. Patrick Sullivan is the youngest athlete at 14 years old to join their camp. Patrick took 3rd place at the Junior Freestyle at the Australian Indoor Skydiving Championships in August and it’s great to see his flying being taken to the next level by these international superstars.

After their tunnel camp, Greg and Karine will take some time out to explore the Blue Mountains and Sydney, before jetting off to Alice Springs to skydive over Uluru and learn more about the Aboriginal culture that inspired their jumpsuits.
