posted Feb 4th, 2012 - The videos of Rounds 3 and 4 are now available and show more of Arizona Airspeed's dominating performance.

Round 3 was the peak of the Airspeed show-off where the leader won by six points over XL and Golden Knights Gold. That's more than a complete page, and even XL and US Army team members were wondering how that was possible.

The two 4way leaderboards are actually more overlapping than it was expected. The leader of the AA Class would currently outscore two teams on the other leaderboard. All 4way teams are using the same competition draw, even though the second leaderboard indicates a AA Class competition.

Two Paraclete lineups compete in 8way. XPX8 is the lineup that has competed and won bronze medals in 8way at the USPA Nationals in the past years. John D'Annunzio and Kirk Verner have also put together a new Paraclete lineup with several experienced 4way competitors who are testing the 8way waters only in the windtunnel so far.

The new lineup has a good battle going for the 3rd place with the strongest of the three 8way teams from France. Reigning 8way world champions Martial Ferre and Damien Sorlin have recruited the lineups by themselves, and they are not supported by the French skydiving federation. However, Bonjour Blue Skies' 21.3 average after Round 7 is impressive, with or without support.

The third French 8way lineup even has some real 8way veterans flying in the windtunnel. Paul Langlade and Francois Burgaud were members of the first French national 8way team Icarus and competed at the World Meet in 1975. There surely were no windtunnels around at that time...
