Did you know that the Brit Chicks have extended their 8way project? posted: Jul 2nd, 2012 The scores of the Z-Scrambles have moved from the front page to the home page of the Florida Skydiving League, and new scores from the United Kingdom have taken the front page place.

Did you know that the Z-Scrambles teams raised the meet average significantly? posted: Jul 1st, 2012 The annual Z-Scrambles brought 12 teams together on a very hot Saturday at Skydive City.

Did you know that Arizona Airspeed, SDC Rhythm XP and Thunder are the busiest teams so far? posted: Jun 28th, 2012 The highest number of attended 4way meets by any team is four so far this year. Three teams competed at four different events, and they are all world class teams, with Arizona Airspeed on the very top. This is actually not a big surprise since the best teams know how important competition experience is.
SDC Rhythm XP and Thunder are the other two teams with four meets at this point in time. All three teams also attended two of their four meets together, and the outcome has always been the same: Airspeed on the top of this 3-some, followed by Rhythm and Thunder.
