All Formation Skydiving events completed at least one round on Friday, which was travel day for the Sun Path Products NSL News. Three of the four Formation Skydiving competition events have small fields of teams, while the 4way Open Class has once again the largest participation.
The current leaderboards are telling the first stories, and only 8way competition was scheduled for Saturday. Round 2 was a very important and successful one for the host, as Dubai Asaar's 8way lineup took... (more)
Did you know that Deb Correia's Northwest group scored a new ICL record total at iFLY Seattle? posted: Nov 29th, 2013 The Indoor Cloud League has a new leader for the month of November. Deb Correia's Northwest Skydiving League group shocked the ICL world with their latest videos and scores from iFLY Seattle, where she posted a new ICL world record with a total of 136 points for the six sequences.
Deb Correia explained how she generated the new record number. She and her indoor team held two events in November: "It's obviously winter here, as participation has increased as steadily as jumping has slowed down."
She said that she had two new participants this month, Agata Staniak, who just received her A license,... (more)
Did you know that SDC Rhythm XP has transitioned from DeLand to Dubai? posted: Nov 28th, 2013 The A Class competition at SkyQuest 2013 between Zunday and Pyro4ic was not as much a thriller as the one between Teiwaz and SDC Accelerando in the AA Class. Zunday was expected to be the stronger team and won. However, Pyro4ic tried to make it as challenging as possible and showed serious opposition in three of the eight rounds.
Zunday came to DeLand with the original lineup, while Pyro4ic had to replace Point Grant Underland at the team's most important meet of the first complete competition season. Substitute Erica Gorski was able to help maintain the Pyro4ic performance and scoring level... (more)
Did you know that the new M8trix lineup is aiming at the Dutch Flight 8way average of 2001? posted: Nov 27th, 2013 The recent results of the ISR Grand Prix 2013 and the upcoming trip of the Sun Path Products NSL News to the 4th Dubai International Parachuting Championship (4th DIPC 2013) combine for an interesting 8way update from the Netherlands.
Last weekend's indoor 4way competition in Roosendaal was the final event for two of the three top 4way teams in the Netherlands of the past years. It was yet the first and the last time that those three teams competed with and against each other at the same place and the same time, as the story on 24 November 2013 explained.
However, the end of the two 4way... (more)
Did you know that Earl Coggin left DeLand with tears in his eyes? posted: Nov 26th, 2013 The 4way part of SkyQuest 2013 brought together the teams that could not get enough of 4way competition before the year is over.
It was clear that the 4way teams would not set world records, as the Kaleidoscope Divers did with their 110way 2-point sequential. However, the competition was at least as exciting as it was to follow the bigways on their pursuit of world records.
The duel between SDC Accelerando and Teiwaz in the AA Class may have featured a unique leaderboard situation. Both teams tied their scores in six of the ten rounds, five of them consecutively. In fact, it was even closer... (more)
Did you know that Newton's Maniacs won bronze medals with Thunder help at the ISR Grand Prix 2013? posted: Nov 25th, 2013 The A Class competition at the ISR Grand Prix 2013 ended up with a complete Belgian sweep. All three sets of medals went to teams from Roosendaal's neighbor country in Europe, and the first team from a different nation was the Dutch team Gravity Abuse in 6th place.
The top half of the A Class leaderboard was filled with Belgian team names, with that one exception, while teams from the Netherlands and Italy ended up on the bottom half. It was completely different last year at the Grand Prix, where only one Belgian team made the top half, Play Again, in 6th place.
Several A Class top teams... (more)
