Did you know that the Czech Indoor Cloud League team misses both top and bottom scores? posted: Oct 10th, 2026 Czech Indoor Cloud League organizer Jan Klapka has been feeling the absence of the Skywalkers Most since the Czech national 4-way Open team last contributed its top scores for the AAA and AA sequences to the Hurricane Factory total in May.
By nature, the FAI Outdoor World Championship 2026, the first outdoor world championship for all team members except videographer Jakub Klapka, has been the team's main goal this year. Preparations for the outdoor event have therefore taken top priority by a wide margin.
Skywalkers videographer Jakub Klapka is the only team member with previous outdoor... (more)
Did you know that Florida ended up without USPA medals? posted: Oct 9th, 2026 The AA/Intermediate Class competition at the USPA Nationals 2026 featured an interesting duel between two Florida teams: Relentless and Zhills Door BlockerZ. It was more than just an internal Florida rivalry, as both teams were competing for USPA medals. The two teams knew each other well. They trained at the same drop zone, Skydive City in Zephyrhills, and shared the same coach, Sally Hathaway. On paper, the two teams appeared to have an uneven starting point in the USPA Intermediate Class. Relentless had already won silver medals in the category the previous year and returned for the 2026 season... (more)
Did you know that nine Airspeed alumni took USPA gold and silver in 2022? posted: Oct 8th, 2026 At the USPA Nationals 2022, three Arizona Airspeed alumni (Eliana Rodriguez, Craig Girard, and Matt Davidson), with Andrew Happick in the point slot and Taylor Buffington on camera, upset several more ambitious U.S. top teams and took the USPA silver medals in 4-way Open.
Nine of the ten competitors on the first two places of USPA's 4-way Open Class leaderboard had previously competed for Arizona Airspeed. The current 2022 lineup (Niklas Hemlin, Christopher Kuhlmann, Mikhail Markine, Joey Marshall, and Brendan Haddon on camera) won the USPA gold medals. Eliana Rodriguez, Craig Girard, Matt Davidson,...

Did you know that Amnesya Fly X are ready for Italy's outdoor comeback in Eloy? posted: Oct 7th, 2026 The 2026 outdoor season is not over yet. The sport's most important event is still to come this month: the FAI Outdoor World Championship 2026 at Skydive Arizona in Eloy. Nevertheless, the indoor competition season has already begun, at least in Italy.
In fact, indoor activities never really come to an end, as teams and competitors in almost all freefall skydiving disciplines turn to indoor training, especially when weather conditions do not allow them to jump from aircraft and fly their parachutes. Basic individual, 4-way, and 8-way training also continues throughout the year. The Indoor Cloud... (more)
Did you know that Niklas Hemlin replaces Doug Barron for XP8? posted: Oct 6th, 2026 SDC Rhythm XP member Doug Barron was recruited as one of the latest members of Paraclete XP’s current 8-way lineup. He joined the team together with Matt Davidson at the beginning of the 2026 season, as the NSL News reported on January 15th. The two highly experienced 4-way and 8-way competitors replaced Jill Stephenson and Ian Pedowitz following the 8-way competition at Weembinamic 2025.
The new 2025 lineup had gone through several changes following the FAI Outdoor World Championship 2024 before the three 8-way world champions—Jeana Billings, Jennifer Davidson, and Kirk Verner—eventually... (more)
Did you know that Spaceland Pajama Party could have category options in 2027? posted: Oct 5th, 2026 It was probably not a big surprise that Kyle Hermberg, Indoor Cloud League organizer for the iFLY Dallas team, did not have Spaceland Pajama Party in his lineup for the August event. The winner of the AA/Intermediate Class competition at the USPA Nationals 2026 was busy preparing for the outdoor competition at Skydive Perris a month later.
As Pajama Party’s coach, Hermberg would have liked to have the team and its members collecting ICL points once again for the August total. However, he knew that the team’s focus on outdoor 4-way was more important at that time of the year. He still managed... (more)
