Did you know that Christy Frikken had a very busy year in 2021? posted: Oct 2nd, 2026 Yesterday's NSL News update pointed out how Christy Frikken's activities for and around the Southern California Skydiving League motivated at least ten SCSL 4-way teams to compete at the USPA Nationals 2026, as well. Most of them posted their scores on the leaderboards in the Intermediate Class (AA) and Beginner Class (A), with Cheated Donuts winning bronze medals at their first national championship.
Christy Frikken did not have much time to supervise all the teams she had previously worked with at Skydive Perris and Skydive Elsinore. She also enjoyed another reunion with her SDC Rhythm XP... (more)
Did you know that the 4-way Beginner Class has become a strong part of USPA Nationals? posted: Oct 1st, 2026 Two of the four horizontal 4-way events at the USPA Nationals 2026 required extra rounds to break ties after the scheduled ten rounds. Aircognito and Zhills Door BlockerZ faced off in a jump-off for the USPA bronze medals in the 4-way Intermediate Class, with Aircognito taking the medals.
The 4-way Beginner competition featured the second jump-off for bronze medals in the category, between Cheated Donuts and SDMW Speed Shapes. Cheated Donuts, representing the Southern California Skydiving League, won the extra round. Cheated Donuts was one of the ten 4-way teams that Christy Frikken and Mary... (more)
Did you know that Golden Knights and Ranch TNT SDAZ are facing the same situation? posted: Sep 30th, 2026 The outcome of the 4-way Open Class competition at the USPA Nationals 2026 has created a very unusual situation for the U.S. delegation at the FAI Outdoor World Championship 2026. The U.S. national team that will represent the United States at the upcoming event is not, at the same time, the reigning 4-way Open Class champion. This situation has occurred only once before, and even then the circumstances were somewhat different. It had never happened prior to this year—or before the FAI Outdoor World Championship 2021, at least as far back as 1995 in U.S. 4-way history.
Even the previous occasion... (more)
Did you know that Ayro have to make room for NMP PCH HayaBusa? posted: Sep 29th, 2026 This year's European Skydiving League championship event at the Fallschirmsportzentrum (FSZ) in Saarlouis saw very light participation, with a total of just five 4-way teams. Nevertheless, all five had enough desire and resources to follow up on their respective national outdoor championships. Two German teams (Dark Neva and Pace Gransee) had competed in theirs a month earlier, while Belgium's Ayro had finished second behind NMP PCH HayaBusa at the BENELUX Outdoor Championship 2026 in early September. Bazinga and the AA Class team Steelers from Ukraine completed the small field.
However, Belgian... (more)
Did you know that Spaceland Pajama Party and coach Kyle Hermberg were well prepared for the Super Sequence? posted: Sep 28th, 2026 The Intermediate Class competition at the USPA Nationals 2026 featured three very different situations at the top of the leaderboard. The winner, Spaceland Pajama Party, created a larger gap to the second-place team than any other category winner in the 4-way events. In the end, the Texas team finished eleven points ahead of CSC Singularity in the silver-medal position.
On the other hand, the same leaderboard also showed a unique and historic situation in USPA competition. Nine teams shared the nine-point high score for Round 4, with only silver medalists Aircognito one point behind in that... (more)
Did you know that the audience can probably expect a new 8-way battle in Eloy? posted: Sep 27th, 2026 The last 8-way word before Round 1 at the FAI Outdoor World Championship 2026 was spoken by Paraclete XP8 at the USPA Nationals 2026. The U.S. national 8-way team won the USPA gold medals comfortably, finishing 43 points ahead of Arizona Airspeed (182–139). However, the final scores were probably not convincing enough for the team itself to travel to Skydive Arizona next month with complete confidence.
After leaving Skydive Perris and returning to Skydive Paraclete XP8 in North Carolina for more training, XP8's only serious opponent at the upcoming world meet in Eloy, the Qatar Falcons, could... (more)
