Did you know that AARspeed was the only team with four 4-way world champions in the lineup? posted: Jan 1st, 2015 The Arizona Airspeed US and world champions of earlier days usually get back together at the USPA Nationals when it is time for 8-way competition. Then they join forces with the current 4-way lineup and win silver or gold in 8-way, plus additional medals in 10-way and 16-way.
Often they arrive earlier and use the 4-way competition to warm up for their 8-way meet jumps in different lineups. Once in a while, they also get back together in 4-way with Airspeed members of different generations, and then they become competitive without any training.

Did you know that Christy Frikken is the correct answer? posted: Oct 9th, 2014 The correct answer to the recent poll question was not that easy to find, as the relevant event took place almost five years ago.
