A young licensed skydiver who has less than 150 jumps, or who has jumped out of airplanes for less than 18 months. Also known as a 'Fresh Flyer', the freshling is like a baby skydiver dear to the community, whom mentors and older jumpers teach techniques and safety content to. The term was created during the first edition of Fresh Meet, a competition designed for licensed jumpers with less than 150 jumps, at Skydive Perris, California.
"My Freshlings are very good this year. They have only 50 jumps but they fly like pros!"
"Did you see Ben? He landed really hard on that jump!" "He's still a freshling, we should give him some advice on how to not crash on the ground"
