Did you know that Niklas Hemlin faces a lot of pressure next week? posted: Oct 12th, 2026 The aftermath of the USPA Nationals 2026 is not yet behind us, even as the next major event approaches: the FAI Outdoor World Championship 2026. Arizona Airspeed, the 4-way Open Class champions at Skydive Perris, are back home in Eloy and have wasted no time getting started on their next training phase. However, this is not the final preparation for the outdoor world meet. In fact, Airspeed have already incorporated indoor training into their plans now that their outdoor competition season is over. The team intends to compete indoors this coming winter and has the 14-foot chamber of the SkyVenture... (more)

The first teams have arrived for the final training camp ahead of the most important event in formation skydiving competition. Both U.S. national teams, the Golden Knights in 4-way Open and Ranch TNT SDAZ in 4-way Women, were training on Saturday... (more)
Did you know that the Czech Indoor Cloud League team misses both top and bottom scores? posted: Oct 10th, 2026 Czech Indoor Cloud League organizer Jan Klapka has been feeling the absence of the Skywalkers Most since the Czech national 4-way Open team last contributed its top scores for the AAA and AA sequences to the Hurricane Factory total in May.
By nature, the FAI Outdoor World Championship 2026, the first outdoor world championship for all team members except videographer Jakub Klapka, has been the team's main goal this year. Preparations for the outdoor event have therefore taken top priority by a wide margin.
Skywalkers videographer Jakub Klapka is the only team member with previous outdoor... (more)
Did you know that Florida ended up without USPA medals? posted: Oct 9th, 2026 The AA/Intermediate Class competition at the USPA Nationals 2026 featured an interesting duel between two Florida teams: Relentless and Zhills Door BlockerZ. It was more than just an internal Florida rivalry, as both teams were competing for USPA medals. The two teams knew each other well. They trained at the same drop zone, Skydive City in Zephyrhills, and shared the same coach, Sally Hathaway. On paper, the two teams appeared to have an uneven starting point in the USPA Intermediate Class. Relentless had already won silver medals in the category the previous year and returned for the 2026 season... (more)

Did you know that Amnesya Fly X are ready for Italy's outdoor comeback in Eloy? posted: Oct 7th, 2026 The 2026 outdoor season is not over yet. The sport's most important event is still to come this month: the FAI Outdoor World Championship 2026 at Skydive Arizona in Eloy. Nevertheless, the indoor competition season has already begun, at least in Italy.
In fact, indoor activities never really come to an end, as teams and competitors in almost all freefall skydiving disciplines turn to indoor training, especially when weather conditions do not allow them to jump from aircraft and fly their parachutes. Basic individual, 4-way, and 8-way training also continues throughout the year. The Indoor Cloud... (more)
