The last seminar from Skydive the Expo has now been published.

With over 30 years of non-stop experience in canopy design and testing at Performance Designs, you can imagine that there have been some interesting and unexpected surprises along the way. This talk from John LeBlanc from Performance Designs is all about those sometimes crazy things we’ve learned - about parachutes and ourselves - when we design and develop new prototypes and then finally share the final product with the community.

Some of the lessons have not only played a big part in how in our parachutes have evolved over the last three decades, but has also shaped our sport and our community as well.

John’s comments on canopy aerodynamics from the designer’s point of view will often surprise those who have only learned while jumping commercially available canopies. Avoiding an overly technical treatise, the intention is to provide an entertaining peek behind the curtains at Performance Designs’ R&D department—to see what really goes on. You will see video examples of the good, the bad, and the sometimes ugly things that are often an exciting part of canopy development.

Watch PD Vice President and Lead Canopy Designer John LeBlanc as he shares stories and offers insights on what we’ve learned – and where it might be going next.

In the Autumn of 2019 and after 14 years of mayhem

In the Autumn of 2019 and after 14 years of mayhem, fun, parties, a lot of walking, beer fines and jumping, Skydive London sadly closed its doors.
Everyone knew it as Redlands, Dylan Griffith-Jones tells us the story.

Mark Bayada will be providing a Canopy Piloting and Canopy Handling Working Group Update at Skydive the Expo 2020.

This talk will be about the high number of landing incidents we are currently having in at British Skydiving and the different ways we are planning to tackle the problem, including a new system of training for both canopy piloting and canopy handling.
We’ll also discuss the introduction of new regulations for type and size of canopy to be jumped, and how and when these changes will be implemented.

The aim of the talk will be to try to dispel any rumours and to get as much feedback as possible from the jumpers about how they feel they might be affected.
