Did you know that RhEvolution XP is back with a new and strong lineup? posted: May 9th, 2022 The SDC RhEvolution XP 4-way team was founded by Chris Normandeau, with original team members Gorka Amian, Josh Reinert and Brad Wallace in the lineup. SDC Rhythm XP member Andrew Happick was coaching and filming the team in 2018, together with Rhythm videographer Justin Wageman and Keith Nugent.
The lineup changed before the team's first USPA Nationals in 2018.

They were not eligible for USPA medals at that time and competed as a guest team. SDMW X and Hands... (more)

Did you know that female 4-way competitors are still dominating in Great Britain? posted: Sep 1st, 2021 Nothing changed in the medal rankings of the British Outdoor Nationals 2021, compared to the previous 4-way championships in 2019.

Eros won the next set of bronze medals with the same lineup, and the British female 4-way competitors are still dominating. Seven of the twelve competitors in front of the cameras, which are operated by three male videographers, have the female majority over the five male team members in the two teams behind... (more)
Did you know that SDC Rhythm XP's Christy Frikken is the highest-placing female 4-way competitor since 2010? posted: Aug 20th, 2021 All four events at FAI World Championships of Formation Skydiving (4-way Open - 4-way Women - 4-way VFS - 8-way Open) have been using the same numbers and letters for their respective dive pools since the 4-way VFS teams added a few more random formations and blocks to reach the same number as the other three events (22 blocks - 16 random formations).
The dive pools are still different and create sequences with different maneuvers and inters, at least between VFS, 8-way and 4-way. However, the sequences are exactly the same and identical between 4-way Open and 4-way Women, which allows direct... (more)
