Can we become old skydivers? How does sustainability play a role?
One day Chris had an idea of being an old skydiver, it came from the thought that he wanted to be able to keep jumping for a long time, to be able to see others do the same and keep enjoying the sport.
This thought led to three key ideas of how we can all contribute to this goal:
1. it has to be safe
2. it has to be fun
3. it has to be sustainable
The safe and fun side of things hopefully are reasonably self-explanatory, however, the more we seem to dig into the sustainable bit, it is perhaps not quite as simple. Chris will provide an update of what he has been up to at VISIONAIRi and he will explain where we are and what we can do as individuals to mitigate the effects our jumps have on the environment, the talk will include a Q&A so you can ask your questions but also put forward your ideas as to how we can make our sport more sustainable and become carbon neutral.
Chris started jumping in 2014 and since then it seems to have become a pretty large part of his life. Chris enjoys learning more about the sport, flying canopies, different disciplines in freefall (and the tunnel), different ways/methods of coaching & instructing and also some of the bits that go on behind the scenes and on the ground in making DZ’s operate and is really looking forward to seeing what the next few years bring.
