It is no surprise by now that the Bad Boys outscored iFLY Orlando's and SkyVenture New Hampshire's AAA and AA Class lineups, and the performance of the Czech national 4-way team looks sharp and ready for competition. The Bad Boys have another 10-round competition on the agenda this week, and they seem to be well prepared.
A Czech delegation (Bad Boys, HF Chicks) has traveled to Austin, Texas, where iFLY is hosting the first FAI World Cup of Indoor Skydiving 2014. Six teams will compete in the 4-way Open Class, and two more teams have signed up for 4-way Women, including the HF Chicks.

Rank | Teams | P,21,D,15 | Q,6,15 | A,F,7 | P,D,Q | M,A,F | M,Q | Total |

3 | SkyVenture New Hampshire (US) | 10 | 11 | 18 | - | - | - | 39 |
The total of 116 points is not enough yet to take over the top spot in November, which is still in iFLY Orlando's possession. However, Bad Boys member Jan Klakpa said that he will take care of Indoor Cloud League business after coming back from Texas.
His team has realistic chances to take one of the top positions at the World Cup. The other five teams include the two indoor lineups with teenagers from the Aerokart Akademie in Paris, France, who will probably surprise the field with top performances. French national coach Marin Ferre has been working with the latest generation of French 4-way competitors, as the Sun Path Products NSL News reported on 26 March 2014.

There are only two teams registered in 4-way Women, who will still produce an interesting situation. Aerokart Deep Blue, the French world champions of 2010, with Sophie Deremaux and Amelie Tirman also winning gold in 2012, have a reunion of the original lineup at the indoor world cup.
Deep Blue has the HF Chicks as the only opponent, who are an indoor team and started with 4-way in the Rookie Class this year. They have moved up quickly through all categories and are now challenging the Bad Boys in the AAA/Open Class at the Czech indoor meets. The four French world champions and mothers will surely win the gold medals in Austin, while the HF Chicks attend their second AAA Class competition this year and will try to beat their own 18.0 average of last week.
