Did you know that the Blue Spirits lineup goes back to childhood days? posted: Feb 13th, 2008 The growth of the skydiving community may have come to a pause, however, the popularity of 4-way Formation Skydiving is still growing. The Carolina Skydiving League welcomed several new Rookie Class teams to its windtunnel competition last weekend, and the first outdoor meets of the 2008 season will provide additional evidence.

Did you know that former Teiwaz members have formed Sebastian Tempest? posted: Jan 28th, 2008 Teiwaz lost four members of the team's extended line-up, and the Florida Skydiving League has a new team. The NSL News story on 10 October 2008 (Archives > 2007 > News > search for: Tempest) already mentioned that four Teiwaz members had decided to put more efforts into 4-way training and competition.
The team name was already there, as the Teiwaz line-up at the NSL Championship 2007 was called "Teiwaz Tempest". Three of the team members in November 2007 (Chris Ash, Thiago Murradas, Ari Perelman) and Kris Byrne joined forces at the end of the 2007 season and formed Sebastian Tempest. (more)
