Did You Know...

... that Raykipo competed with a new Center Inside?

Original Raykipo lineup
posted Jun 13th, 2013 - The NSL News has recently covered 4way competition in the United Kingdom quite comprehensively, and new topics keep the focus of NSL News updates on the UK teams.

Raykipo and the team's history was brought to the attention of the NSL News audience on 14 May 2013 after the team attended the first outdoor competition in the AAA Class. The NSL News followed up on 10 June 2013 after the second outdoor competition of the UKSL 2013 season.

This time, the story covered the duel with Hyrrokkin after the fourth outdoor meet between those two teams in 2012 and 2013. The NSL News still missed a recent personnel change that Raykipo had to deal with between the first and the second 2013 competition.

June MeetWorld Challenge
Bodyflight Frenzy lineup of 2007
Raykipo's Center Inside Liz Moor competed for the AA Class team throughout the 2012 season and came back this year to win the AA Class competition at the World Challenge 2013 and posted her first AAA Class scores with the complete 2012 lineup in May.

Unfortunately, she broke her leg two weeks after the first meet on May 27th and will not be available for the remainder of the 2013 season. Raykipo decided to continue with a substitute and found Marc Fletcher to fill the Center Inside slot this year.

Raykipo did not have much time to get ready for the June meet. However, Marc Fletcher was able to fill the slot more than adequately, as Raykipo even improved the May average of 13.0 to 13.3 last weekend.

Bodyflight Frenzy in action
Marc Fletcher trained and competed with Bodyflight Frenzy between 2006 and 2008. Frenzy won the UK Nationals 2006 in the Rookie Class (19.9) after warming up (8.0 - 13.8) at two meets of the United Kingdom Skydiving League.

Frenzy moved up into the A Class competition of 2007 and finished with a 9.5 average at the UK Nationals. A bronze medal in the AA Class followed a year later at the national championships (13.1) before Frenzy eventually discontinued. Marc Fletcher was missing the next step up into the AAA Class with Frenzy and now used the new opportunity with Raykipo.

It was obviously a great start into the AAA Class competition of the 2013 season with the new lineup, as Raykipo was closer than ever before to Hyrrokkin. The next UKSL meet is scheduled for July 13th and may feature the next showdown between those two AAA Class teams.
