Christy Frikken was a part of the second generation, and her career story was posted when she was awarded with the "Skydiver of the Year" title that the Skydiving Magazine had created even longer ago.
Skydiving Magazine's co-owner Sue Clifton had decided in 2015 to donate the remaining Skydiver of the Year trophies to the National Skydiving League, after her partner Mike Truffer died in a skydiving accident in 2013. She did not have any requirements for the future use... (more)
Did you know that SCSL team Phoenix Pheathers have plans for the USPA Nationals 2023? posted: Jul 14th, 2023 The Southern California Skydiving League (SCSL) made it through the last three years of the coronoa virus crisis without a total interruption. Josh Hall, Arizona Airspeed 4-way world champion of 2012, had been running the 4-way league since 2014, and he was in charge of the meets during the pandemic period.
The Southern California Skydiving League survived the challenging times and has become the only league in the NSL Network that has offered the regional 4-way meet opportunities since 2007 without missing a year. In fact, these events were taking place even a few years earlier, before the... (more)
Did you know that the Paraclete XP Summer Classic is coming back? posted: Apr 4th, 2023 The first version of Paraclete XP's Summer Classic competition grew out of the Carolina Skydiving League, which was one of the busiest leagues in the NSL 4-way Network at that time.

Did you know that the official world record for a single round is still Airspeed's 59-pointer of 2017? posted: Feb 23rd, 2023 The competition draw of the Paraclete XP Indoor Championship 2023 included a Super Sequence for the 4-way AAA Class teams in Round 4 (M,B,G,E,F) that was randomly drawn for the national indoor championships of the United States.
The scores had no significant impact on the 4-way Open Class leaderboard, as most of the teams performed according to their ranking positions. Only XPG4 and Greenlight scored significantly higher than teams ahead of them in the rankings.
The scores for a Super Sequence can have a much stronger impact, and the situation at the German Outdoor Nationals 2021 is probably... (more)
