The Canadian national team in 4-way Women, Parachute Montreal Fuzion, added a quick visit in DeLand to the team's preparations for the World Air Games after a short training season in Canada, due to bad weather in the summer.
The team members said that their great group dynamics and matching goals allow them to come to agreements easily, and the plans for the additional training in DeLand were made with a very short term decision. The Sun Path Products NSL News used the opportunity to invite Fuzion for a live NSL Talk conversation.

Valerie Bisson then celebrated her 18th birthday at the FAI World Championship of Formation Skydiving 2014, where Fuzion finished in 4th place with a 14.7 average.
Another slot opened up when Gabrielle Prevost left the team at the end of the 2014 season. Renee Point explained during the NSL Talk how she tried out for the slot, "begged and pleaded" until she became the new Fuzion point. She was a Crimson Fox member in 2012 and also trained and competed with Canada's 8-way team Maximum Ride.

The 15.7 average brings Fuzion within striking distance of the bronze medal position, which Kaizen took with a 16.1 average in Prostejov 2014. Fuzion is still in 4th place of the outdoor team world rankings and has tied UK team Fly Like a Girl in 3rd place of the indoor rankings.
Fuzion will now try to get closer to the world's bronze medal position in 4-way Women outdoor competition and travels to Dubai for the World Air Games 2015. The Canadian team does not have enough vacation time left to attend the Clash of Champions, as well. The World Air Games begin on December 8th.
