Toxic Turtles actually picked up their 4-way competition pace on a higher level compared to the 2.2 average that the all-female Toxic Ex Girlfriends lineup posted in the Rookie Class competition of the Texas Skydiving League's April meet.

posted: Jul 26th, 2022 Eric Daniel, Indoor Cloud League organizer of the iFLY Colorado Springs team, started with scores and videos for five of the six sequences in May this year, and he was happy with the outcome of the inaugural event.
