Did you know that the tie-breaking rules could not break the internal AAA tie at Paraclete? posted: Jul 8th, 2017 The June competition of the Indoor Cloud League is over, and both leaderboards are closed. Paraclete XP's ICL team won the AAA Class competition with Fast4ward XP's 23-pointer on the 14+ leaderboard, while iFLY SF Bay's AAA Class lineup (Deanna Frank, Julius Frank, Leander van Schriek, Volker Haag) posted the highest score for the sequence on the 12+ leaderboard.
The Paraclete team had actually a second AAA Class lineup that tied the 23-pointer. Phoenix XP members Morgan Womble and Lauren Byrd once again teamed up with two Golden Knights (Matt Accord, Drew Star) and took on the slot switching... (more)
Did you know that SDMW NEXT XP is slightly ahead of the 2016 progression? posted: Jul 3rd, 2017 The June meet of the Midwest Skydiving League was planned to be synchronized once again with the teams of the Northern Plains Skydiving League.
Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate well with both events. The NPSL meet was completely weathered out, and the MWSL teams were barely able to complete three rounds on Saturday. Only SDMW NEXT XP managed to perform all six rounds over the weekend on their home turf.
Three SDC Rhythm XP members (Andrew Happick, JaNette and Steve Lefkowitz) were managing the event and helped the teams with judging, coaching and engineering. JaNette Lefkowitz... (more)
Did you know that SDC Rhythm XP joined the 20+ outdoor elite club this month? posted: Jun 29th, 2017 It was on 27 June 2015 when the Sun Path Products NSL News gave the elite club of the highest scoring teams in history of 4-way Formation Skydiving competition previously special attention.
Arizona Airspeed and the French national team of 2015 had posted indoor scores in 10-round meets that were all 27-pointers or higher. The story was posted a few days after the Sun Path Products NSL News had covered the new 24+ indoor teams, Evolution and SDC Rhythm XP on 23 June 2015.
Of course, the situation in 4-way outdoor competition is very different, as it is still difficult even for the best teams... (more)
Did you know that three current and former Dallas 350 members still connect at iFLY Dallas? posted: Jun 26th, 2017 It did not take very long until the next score and video for the AAA Class June sequence arrived for the 14+ leaderboard of the Indoor Cloud League.
Phoenix XP member Amanda Lampton submitted a complete set of six scores and videos from iFLY Dallas, which were generated just a few days after the Paraclete XP Summer Classic 2017 where she had competed with her own team.
She was not in any of the ICL lineups for iFLY Dallas this time, as she took a few days off after a very busy May/June schedule. Her former Dallas 350 team mates Scott Levy and Lucas King took care of the Indoor Cloud League... (more)
Did you know that Fast4ward XP submitted a AAA Class 23-pointer for the Paraclete ICL team? posted: Jun 25th, 2017 The Indoor Cloud League competition has created another interesting situation, this time on the 14+ leaderboard.
The Sun Path Products NSL News reported on 17 June 2017 how the Paraclete XP team has picked up the pace in the past few months after joining the Indoor Cloud with the beginning of the 2017 season.

Did you know that Gary Smith evaluated the Airspeed/Rhythm showdown live on NSL-TV? posted: Jun 22nd, 2017 There is no doubt that NMP PCH HayaBusa and other 4-way top teams in the world were watching the second 2017 showdown between Arizona Airspeed and SDC Rhythm XP at the Paraclete XP Summer Classic 2017 very carefully, along with all other 4-way fans and competitors.
HayaBusa coach Gary Smith was probably studying the video footage even more carefully than all other viewers as a part of his job. The Sun Path Products NSL News connected with Gary Smith via Zoom in the middle of a HayaBusa training camp in Empuriabrava, Spain, and he was impressed with the performance of both teams.
He took a... (more)
