posted Dec 2nd, 2013 - Not much changed in 8way at the 4th Dubai International Parachuting Championship 2013. Dubai Asaar continued the pursuit of gold medals on home turf by adding another highscore for Round 5. Craig Girard's 8way lineup has not given away a round yet. It seems like it will only be a battle for the silver medals.

The VFS 4way competition is usually a tough battlefield between Team4speed from France and Dubai Nexus, as well. This is not the case at the 4th DIPC 2013. Dubai Nexus is far ahead of the French world champions of 2012. Nexus won for the first time at the World Cup 2013 and confirmed the top position at the USPA Nationals 2013. This will be the third time that Nexus defeats Team4speed, and the distance has grown.

The Sun Path Products NSL News was interested in finding out what was going on in the French VFS headquarters and asked coach Philippe "Professeur" Schorno and team member Julien Guiho for more information. The live NSL Talk took place while the 8way teams completed Round 5.

Team4speed	NSL Talk

Team4speed and coach Philippe Schorno decided after the USPA Nationals to change the slots for their own specific reasons and to apply a new team strategy. They explained as much as they could at this point in time during the live NSL Talk in the French Dubai headquarters.

Julien Guiho said that the first results of the changes are showing and that his team is happy with it. He is also involved with another part of the 4th DIPC 2013. He is a world class canopy pilot at the same time and is currently in 3rd place on the overall leaderboard.

He has good French formation skydiving company in the TOP 10. Guillaume Bernier is currently in 6th place of the Canopy Piloting competition. The former 4way and 8way world champion said that his brother's 4way team (Mathieu Bernier) went through recent slot switches, as well. The Sun Path Products NSL News will follow up on the topic.
