La Isla de Encanto

PD Factory Team members JC Colclasure and Jonathan Tagle recently held a Canopy control course at the XtremeDivers dropzone during the Puerto Rico Freefall Festival. Those who participated in the course all had good things to say about the experience and felt they had improved their canopy skills. Event organizers Jason Gonzalez and Viviana De Jesus put on a first class event that drew 247 registered skydivers over the week. With the beautiful scenery and great weather the boogie is a natural draw for skydivers, especially wingsuiters. With over 25 wingsuiters in attendance many large and small flocks were flown and  reps from Birdman, Fly Your Body and Tony suits made sure demo suits were available for everyone. Just because the jumping day was over didn't mean the fun was. Jason and Viviana made sure the night time activities were well taken care of by hosting a dinner as well as having a weekend DZ party that provided a live DJ and some of Puerto Rico's fine  adult beverages all night for free. If you didn't make it this year put it on next years list of boogies to attend.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bird Man Top Gun - Watch Out!

Please meet the newest addition to our family of Sponsored Athletes.... Bird-boys Macca Macdonald (UK) and Jarno Cordia (Holland) - we are happy to have you guys on board!

We are Macca and Jarno, two highly experienced wingsuit addicts that can be found enjoying the nylon crack on dropzones around the world. Since first starting to fly, we have both increased our skills and knowledge to such a level that we were asked to become founding members of the Bird Man Factory Team Top Gun.

We are both recognized wingsuit instructors, known for being approachable, friendly, knowledgeable, trustworthy, and above all, safe* skydivers.

We both believe strongly in using the highest quality skydiving products - which is one of the reasons we are so stupid excited to be working with Performance Designs. As long term users of their canopies we know how reliable and well built they are, not to mention their performance!

If you see us around, come and say hello. It's always good to meet new people, especially if beer is involved. 
Massive thanks to PD for supporting us.

Macca and Jarno
