Did you know that Midwest teams are opponents and partners at the same time? posted: Jun 28th, 2023 Two of the strongest U.S. teams are located in the country's Midwest region, and they represent two different skydiving centers, Skydive Chicago (SDC Rhythm XP) and Skydive Midwest (SDMW NEXT). The teams are athletically opponents, while they work together in many ways.
Even the team's hosts, Skydive Chicago and Skydive Midwest, have recently worked together quite closely. They teamed up to run USPA's national skydiving championships together. Both locations hosted different disciplines, and the two Midwest teams, along with all other teams in the Formation Skydiving events, completed their... (more)
Did you know that Flying Rebels and Chameleons came back together for Indoor Cloud League May sequences? posted: Jun 2nd, 2023 The members of the two former Czech junior teams, HF Flying Rebels and HF Chameleons, have known each other and trained together for a long time. Both teams still have original members in their current lineups who started in Jan Klapka's 4-way junior school of 2017.

Did you know that seven former and current Skydive Midwest NEXT members are on the new ICL Midwest leaderboard? posted: May 3rd, 2023 It is very unusual if Indoor Cloud League teams end up with tied totals for the six monthly sequences. It is even more unusual when it happens on the top of the leaderboard. In fact, it happened only once in the history of the 14+ leaderboards until the teams of the Hurricane Factory and ICL Midwest finished with 123 points both for the month of April.
It was in January 2018 when the Czech teams at the Hurricane Factory and Paraclete XP's lineups tied their totals of 128 points for the highest scoring number. The NSL News reported the unusual situation on 4 February 2018, after both teams had... (more)
Did you know that 4-way teams transition in many ways at this time of the year? posted: Apr 25th, 2023 The aftermath of the FAI Indoor World Championship 2023 will still continue for a while. FAI/ISC's world championships and world cups are naturally the most relevant events in Formation Skydiving competition and deserve all possible attention. However, other events continue at the same time and need to be covered, as well.
The Indoor Cloud League of the NSL Network includes activities and events on the other end of the 4-way spectrum, where the beginners in the sport can make their first steps in 4-way competition. The format includes sequences for the experienced 4-way fans that could be drawn... (more)
Did you know that HF Flying Rebels transitioned once again from AAA to AA sequences? posted: Apr 23rd, 2023 The 4-way Junior competition of the FAI Indoor World Championship 2023 turned into a very disappointing experience. In fact, the two junior teams from the Czech Republic (HF Flying Rebels) and Slovakia (SDU GenZ) were not even an official part of the competition.
The scores and videos were and are not posted on FAI's 1st Category Results Portal, and only the scores appeared on InTime as a separate event under "Tatralandia FS4 Junior Competition 2023".
None of the Formation Skydiving powerhouses (United States, France, Belgium, Qatar) sent 4-way junior teams to Slovakia, and the Russian juniors... (more)
