Did you know that Paraclete XP and iFLY Dallas are on the same Indoor Cloud League mission? posted: Nov 5th, 2019 The October leaderboard of the Indoor Cloud League begins to take shape after iFLY Jacksonville and Hurricane Factory posted the first scores and videos earlier.
Paraclete XP and iFLY Dallas followed up with their October information last weekend. Both ICL teams continued to use the ICL events to introduce 4-way competition to new participants. Morgan Womble, who organizes the ICL events at Paraclete XP, said that she had six young and new fliers participating: "They are doing great! Most of them have less than 50 jumps."
At the same time, the new participants and young skydivers have the... (more)
Did you know that SNE Fly Girls from New England peaked at the FAI World Cup? posted: Oct 23rd, 2019 The 4-way Women competition at the FAI Outdoor World Cup included an interesting re-match of three of the four teams who were eligible for the event after competing and qualifying at the USPA Nationals 2018.
Five 4-way Women teams had registered for the 4-way Open Class competition at last year's national championship (Phoenix XP - Perris Force - Victorious Secret - SNE Fly Girls - Spaceland Heatwave), and they had their eyes on the four 4-way Women slots at the world cup a year later. Three of them (Phoenix XP - Victorious Secret - SNE Fly Girls) eventually signed up for the world cup, which... (more)
Did you know that NSL-TV features the Best of Indoor Cloud League September? posted: Oct 23rd, 2019 The Indoor Cloud League leaderboard for the month of September presented a new participating team from iFLY Jacksonville in Florida, as the NSL News reported on September 30th. The new team started with five of the six ICL sequences and will try to submit a full set for October.
The September video features the best performances of the month that the Hurricane Factory won with the highest total of the 2019 season. Hurricane Factory and Paraclete XP each claimed three of the six highscores on the 14+ leaderboard, while iFLY SF Bay won all three technical sequences (AAA - AA - A) over iFLY Orlando... (more)
Did you know that the British delegation was the second largest at the FAI World Cup? posted: Oct 21st, 2019 The British delegation at the FAI Outdoor World Cup was the largest one behind the host nation, the United States. Six British teams were registered for the traditional Formation Skydiving events (4-way Open - 8-way Open - 4-way Women). France was the only other nation with teams in the same three events, while it was logistically much easier with the French 8-way team fielding the two French 4-way teams at the same time.
The U.S. delegation consisted of a total of 11 teams for the three events, and three additional teams competed in 4-way VFS. The U.S. delegation collected a total of seven... (more)
Did you know that the 4-way gender-mix at the FAI World Cup was almost equal? posted: Oct 18th, 2019 It has been a while now that FAI/IPC apply the same numbers and letters for the competition draw in all four Formation Skydiving categories (4-way Open - 4-way Women - 4-way VFS - 8-way Open). It happened again at the FAI Outdoor World Cup last week. 8-way Open and 4-way VFS have naturally different maneuvers for the same numbers and letters.
The identical competition draw, sequences and maneuvers for teams in 4-way Open and 4-way Women allows to compare the scores directly, and the NSL News aftermath of major events includes this feature traditionally.
There are actually three different... (more)
Did you know that Phoenix XP and Skynamite members knew each other from Australia 2018? posted: Oct 16th, 2019 The 4-way Women competition at the FAI Outdoor World Cup featured not only a new showdown between the French Weembi Girls and NFTO. In fact, the battle between Phoenix XP (United States) and Skynamite (Germany) for the FAI bronze medals was closer than any other competition for medals at the event.
It ended with a 2-point difference to the advantage of Phoenix XP, and it could have ended the other way around, as well. Both teams took turns in winning rounds from the beginning to the end.
It was not a big surprise that Phoenix XP was in contention for 4-way Women medals, despite the late personnel... (more)
