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.

Did you know that a very strong U.S. delegation travels to Norway in August? posted: Jun 1st, 2023 FAI World Cups of Formation Skydiving usually do not offer the same competitive level as the FAI World Championships do, even though all participating countries may register more teams (up to four) than only one national team in each event.
The U.S. delegation has never missed any of the three horizontal events (4-way Open, 8-way Open, 4-way Women) at outdoor world championships since 1985. However, there have not been many U.S. teams at the outdoor world cups in the same time period.
In fact, complete U.S. delegations posted scores only in the same three FS events when the outdoor world... (more)
Did you know that the most improved teams battled in the lower half of the 4-way Women leaderboard? posted: May 31st, 2023 The most improved teams in 4-way Women at the FAI Indoor World Championship 2023 finished in the lower half of the leaderboard, disregarding the world-class performances of the French Nephtys and XPG4 in the top spots.
The indoor lineup of the French national team in 4-way Women was not the same as ever before. In fact, national coach Mathieu Bernier had managed to put this unique lineup together just a few months before Round 1 at the Hurricane Factory Tatralandia in Slovakia.
XPG4 had more consistency in their lineup for the event, after spending the entire 2022 season together. Jeana Billings... (more)

MAD Team had the upper hand at the Flyspot Open 2021 (194 - 184), Flyspot Omega at the Flyspot Open... (more)
