Did you know that there is still a slight chance for the 4-way specialists in 8-way?
posted: Oct 26th, 2006 The 8-way competition of the USPA Nationals 2006 is almost over, as well. Two teams in the Open Class still have to make their 10th round, as well as the whole field of Intermediate Class teams. The positions in the Open Class competition are set, with Arizona Airspeed, Golden Nuggets and Paraclete XP in the medal positions. Lock It Up still has a slight chance to push Paraclete XP off the bronze medal slot. It took the Paraclete line-up with several former 8-way world champions longer than expected to climb back up the leaderboard after the 0-pointer in round three. The Mass Defiance/Gravity/Onyx...

Did you know that the pickup teams consist of high-caliber 4-way competitors?
posted: Oct 25th, 2006 The other 8-way teams are line-ups that were recruited on competition site, the "pickup teams". One of these pickup teams will most likely end up with a set of silver medals. However, it would be no new situation for the team members of Golden Nuggets to get up on the podium at USPA Nationals. The team name already indicates that the members of the Golden Knights Black 4-way team are a world class foundation for this line-up. In addition, the Army team's alternate, Sean Sweeney, gets his opportunity to be a part of the competition in Eloy. He was a member of the 4-way line-up until this was... (more)

Did you know that Perris Fury members are leading three different 8-way line-ups in Eloy?
posted: Oct 25th, 2006 There are a few other 8-way teams that were not just put together on competition site. Christy Frikken, Perris Fury's Outside Center, explained to the NSL News that there are three trained 8-way teams from Perris. They have been a part of Fury's 2006 project. In fact, the Perris Fury members were not able to compete at some of the Southwest Skydiving League events since they took care of their player coach jobs with other 4-way teams, as well. Fury members recruited, organized and trained with these three 8-way teams. (more)

Did you know that many former world champions compete in the 8-way event?
posted: Oct 24th, 2006 The 8-way competition has started in Eloy. The field is naturally much smaller than it was in 4-way. The 8-way competition at the USPA Nationals is mostly a fun event where 4-way competitors usually form 8-way line-ups on site. There are obviously exceptions. Arizona Airspeed is a very well trained 8-way team, as the world knows. The 2006 season was an 8-way year for Airspeed since the team had to represent the USA at the World Meet 2006 in Germany. There was not much time for 4-way training in the Airspeed quarters this year, as the results of the 4-way competition show. (more)

Did you know that DeLand Groove did not let Black Cat get by?
posted: Oct 23rd, 2006 Even the Airspeed Odyssey members may not have expected it to be so easy to move from a hopeless position after the first day to a place on the podium. The second day of the USPA Nationals 2006 was a completely different ball game for Andy Delk, Brian Johnson, Craig Girard, Eliana Rodriguez and Will Pesek on camera. Odyssey picked up the pace, tied the total number of DeLand Groove's points on Monday and easily passed the Golden Knights on the way to the bronze medal position. Team Fastrax was still too far away and too strong. John Hart, Niklas Hemlin, Mark Kirkby, Doug Park and Steve Redinbo... (more)

Did you know that it is still an open gold medal game in the AA/Intermediate Class?
posted: Oct 23rd, 2006 The AA Class teams had their fastest round of the meet at the end of the first competition day. Round seven brought a sequence with four Random Formations to the table. Most of the teams used the great opportunity to improve the meet average significantly. Air Force CAD did not only improve the number of the meet average with the highscore of 26 points for this round. The Air Force team also climbed up one slot on the leaderboard. Skydive Chicago's Furies had the second place with a 1-point lead after seven rounds. (more)
