posted Dec 31st, 2014 - The team page of the Bad Boys is a very unique one in the history of Formation Skydiving competition, at least for as long as the Sun Path Products NSL News has had information and data in the archives.

The Czech national 4-way team has attended 14 competitions this year, not counting the events of the Indoor Cloud League. This is by far the highest number of meets that any team has recorded so far.

Teams in the Czech Republic completed their second indoor competition of the 2014/2015 winter season on December 18th at the Hurricane Factory in Prague, and they matched the record participation of 14 teams who competed in November.

The Bad Boys are not just a social team with a lack of ambition to increase their performance level. In fact, the progression chart of the scores between 2012 and 2014 shows a very consistent upward slope. Eventually, the Bad Boys beat the 20-average indoor benchmark for the first time at the national indoor championships in September.

The meet average dropped one time below 20 ever since, at the first of three November meets, before the Bad Boys confirmed their current scoring level at the FAI World Cup of Indoor Skydiving, where they won the first FAI indoor gold medals.

The Bad Boys repeated the 20.9 average finish after ten rounds on December 18th and will now be aiming at the 21-average level.

The Bad Boys are not an indoor skydiving team, such as the HF Chicks are. The Czech national 4-way team competes with the same lineup at outdoor events and has a similar scoring progression in the same time period since the new lineup started with training (2011 - 2014).

Jan Klapka founded the Bad Boys in 2005 when he also joined the international NSL Network with the Czech Republic Skydiving League. The Bad Boys posted a 5.3 average at the May meet that year. The CZ Ladies, with Jan Klapka's wife Jirina Klapkova, also posted their highest meet average in team history on December 18th, as did son Jakub Klapka with his Rookie Class team Kamikadze. However, the most incredible improvement (13.4 - 16.3 - 22.4) was shown by the Flying Circus in the team's 3rd meet this year.

The Bad Boys will have an even faster start into the 2015 season. Jan Klapka said that his team plans to compete at the Wind Games this year, on January 23/24 in Spain, together with the HF Chicks. Both have a warmup meet on home turf on January 15th.
