Player coach Gilles Dutrisac said that his team is aiming at 200 training jumps this year, plus approx. ten hours of wind tunnel time. DeLand Fast4ward will jump from the DeLand planes and start each training weekend with indoor training at iFLY Tampa.
The team members are very familiar with indoor training and competition after years of participation at Indoor Cloud League and FSL Tunnel Kicker events at iFLY Orlando. The Florida Skydiving League has now added the same events for the 14+ flying chamber in Tampa to the indoor schedule.
James Hall competed with DeLand Momentum (Andrea Geering, Mariuschka Lovera, Hal Spence, Michael Baker on camera) in the Advanced Class competition of the USPA Nationals 2015 and missed last year's national championships. He and Andrea Greening still wanted to continue together with a new team and kept in shape until the next opportunity would come up.
They were rear piece partners with Momentum and will be separated in the new team.

He started in Florida with FSC Wind Damaged in 2007 and continued with Sebastian Tempest in 2009, where he had Arizona Airspeed member Thiago Gomes as a team mate for a few years. After his time with Tempest Gilles Dutrisac kept himself busy as a player coach with Florida Skydiving League teams and Indoor Cloud League events before a full 1-year comeback with Mercury XP/Hg XP in 2015.
He used the 2016 season to get a necessary knee surgery behind and be physically ready for the next player coach team project. He was following James Klinge's guidance in 2015. This time, he is back in the player coaching slot on a higher level. Videographer Jens Esselstrom is committing to a 4-way team plan for the first time after filming at FSL meets randomly over the years. DeLand Fast4ward will post the first scores at the Shamrock Showdown 2017.
