Did you know that German Airbus videographer Erik Lorenz scored nine points in Round 5? posted: Sep 1st, 2025 The 2025 story of the German national 8-way team, Airbus Oceanside Illertissen, began when team captain Thomas "Spieli" Spielvogel decided to join previous opponent Operation Adler, who had competed for Germany with their own 2024 lineup at the FAI Outdoor World Championship 2024. Steffen Schiedek became the new team captain and recruited a new 2025 lineup, with 4-way and 8-way veterans Henning Stumpp and Uli Sehrbrock replacing Thomas Spielvogel and Holger Sass. Main goal for the year was the participation at the FAI Outdoor World Cup 2025.
New member Uli Sehrbrock had to withdraw right before... (more)
Did you know that Out Of The Blue continue with Siem Ibens? posted: Sep 1st, 2025 Sven Ibens is one of the original NMP PCH HayaBusa members, together with David Grauwels, who is still on camera for the current HayaBusa lineup. He lives not far from the border between Belgium and the Netherlands, and it was not much of a surprise that he came to visit the FAI Outdoor World Cup 2025 yesterday.
He did not train and compete with HayaBusa any longer when the FAI World Cup 2015 was hosted ten years ago by Skydive Teuge. However, his wife Annelies Hasewinkel-Ibens was a member of the Dutch 8-way team M8trix who challenged the Qatar Falcons for the FAI 8-way bronze medals in 2015,... (more)
Did you know that the 4-way leaderboard is in motion? posted: Sep 1st, 2025 The 4-way leaderboards are in motion at the FAI Outdoor World Cup 2025, even though the weather does not cooperate well so far. Each round has the potential to bring changes in the rankings, as the teams are close enough to each other all across the 4-way leaderboards.
One more round was completed in 4-way, which did not change the rankings in the 4-way Open Class medal positions after Round 5 yet. However, it still featured a very outstanding situation, which has been seen only once since the French national team in 4-way Open, Aethers Lille, took the world's top spot.
Aethers Lille have... (more)

Did you know that Airbus try to defend FAI 8-way bronze medals for Germany? posted: Aug 30th, 2025 Matt Landsmann produced the daily summary of the FAI Outdoor World Cup 2025 for Skydive Teuge, and Regan Tetlow was once again in charge of the entertaining part. The 6-minute video clip covered the activities on the first day of the competition.
There was more than enough time on Saturday to watch whatever has been made available, as the weather situation did not allow any more rounds in any event until mid-afternoon. Teams and competitors were well prepared when the weather changed quickly, and meet director Ronald Overdijk, ISC delegate for the Netherlands, called all events into action as... (more)
