Did you know that French 8-way experts posted a 29.4 average in 4-way at the World Challenge? posted: May 20th, 2010 There was a team in the Top 10 at the World Challenge 2010 that has not received a lot of attention so far. It is somehow unusual that a 29.4 average would not catch everybody's attention.
In fact, a 29.4 average would have won the first place at any previous World Challenge competition in the history of the event. Only three teams had ever posted a higher average in a 10-round meet before the World Challenge 2010: Perris Fury (29.8) at the Paraclete Indoor Championship 2009 and Arizona Airspeed with the same average in 2008, Perris Fury and the Golden Knights at Paraclete in 2008 with 29.6...

Did you know that Teiwaz had a Rookie Class lineup at Skydive City? posted: May 18th, 2010 The weather played a role at all meets last weekend. It was too cold and miserable in Norway and too hot in Florida for the teams to come out in flocks.
The teams in Denmark were limited to five rounds at the popular DFU Cup.
The new Norwegian national 4-way team X3M4s was actually ready to put the first scores of 2010 on the board. It turned out to be only one single round in challenging weather conditions, while Denmark's national team Bodyflight Voluntas completed five rounds.
The May meet of the Florida Skydiving League was also the smallest one in a long time, although the weather... (more)
