Especially the teams and lineups who performed the AAA and AA Class sequences last month included several high-profile 4-way competitors. The Sun Path Products NSL News story on 25 October 2014 explained how SDC Rhythm XP member Mikhail Markine and XL's Brian Johnson helped the Florida group at iFLY Orlando to boost the AAA and AA Class scores.
The Czech Republic's two national teams in 4-way Open (Bad Boys) and 4-way Women (CZ Ladies) are regulars on the ICL leaderboard month by month at the Hurricane Factory in Prague, and they posted the October AAA/AA/A highscores once again despite tough opposition.

Last but not least, the outdoor top competitor of October actually ended up in 3rd place with the Canadian group at SkyVenture Montreal. Martin Lemay, bronze medalist at the FAI World Championship of Formation Skydiving 2014 in 4-way Open and VFS 4-way with Evolution, filled the AAA and AA Class slot for his 4-way Open Class team mate Katie Woods.
4Astrophe father Richard Bisson had once again his daughter Valerie, newest member of Canada's national team in 4-way Women, Fuzion, and his son Yannick in the lineup for October. It was the first time now that Martin Lemay joined the indoor team.
NouvelAir near Montreal, his family's home dropzone, is the host for the World Cup in Canopy Piloting next year, and Martin Lemay will organize the event on his home turf. He explained that NouvelAir has added a swooping pond to the facilities and is ready to host a high-profile competition.
Of course, it was also an opportunity for the Sun Path Products NSL News to get an Evolution update. Plans for the near future have not been made yet. Martin Lemay said that the 2014 season was planned to be over for his team after the 5th Dubai Cup. Then the team will sit down and discuss the options for the next 2-year cycle. The audience has to wait for another four weeks to hear about the Evolution future...
