Did you know that Ex3mo won the Italian Nationals 2014? posted: Aug 10th, 2014 Another national team posted the last scores before the FAI World Championship of Formation Skydiving 2014 last week. The Italian national 4-way team Ex3mo won the national championships with a 17.4 average.
Ex3mo battled for the last slot in the finals at the Mondial Dubai 2012 and ended up a few points behind Satori in 7th place. It required a 20-average to get into the finals two years ago, and a 19-average to make the first cut after Round 8. Ex3mo then easily made even the second cut with an 18.4 average at the World Cup 2013 in Banja Luka.

Did you know that the British A Class teams skipped a jump-off round for 2nd place? posted: Aug 8th, 2014 The British A Class teams were just as much jockeying for positions as all other British 4-way teams at the Hibaldstow Cup 2014, a month before the national championships. Last weekend's results promise the next exciting A Class showdown in September.
The A Class and Rookie Class winners at last year's Hibaldstow Cup, Tr4ck and Fly Wild, also won the gold medals at the national championships a few weeks later. This means that Kintama might have the best chances to win the national A Class competition this year.
Kintama's 13.2 average last weekend was significantly higher than Tr4ck's winning... (more)

Did you know that Equal Pay 4 Women edged out Phoenix by 0.09 seconds in a jump-off round? posted: Aug 6th, 2014 It is about time for the story of the biggest drama at the Hibaldstow Cup 2014 last weekend.
Equal Pay 4 Women (EP4W) won the AA Class competition by 0.09 seconds over Phoenix in the jump-off round. It was the first time this year that the new tie-breaking rules had to be applied.

EP4W would have won the gold medals according to the previous tie-breaking rules, as well, with the highest score of the meet in Round 6. The audience has the opportunity now to check the timing of... (more)
Did you know that two DeLand Norgies had a 1-point battle at the national championships last week? posted: Aug 5th, 2014 The story of the national championships in Norway is usually the story of the annual DeLand Norgies reunion, bronze medal winners at the world meets in 1999, 2001 and 2003.

The DeLand Norgies had their comeback in 2007, after the last world meet attendance in 2003, and have not missed any of the national championships... (more)
