The same three teams have been working on their plans for the near future ever since, and the corona virus crisis allowed them more time at the drawing board than they may have liked to have. However, they produced promising results and the creation of a new 4-way project in cooperation with the Danish skydiving federation.
One part of the new plans was the hiring of coach Joey Jones for the world meet year. The Danish CISM team, last year's winner of the national outdoor championship, decided earlier not to compete at the world meet, and Sky4ll were glad to fill the open slot for Denmark.
The plans for the new 4-way project include both AAA Class teams behind the CISM team, Sky4ll and Subsonic, and team member Hans Linding Oksen explained the details of the plan in a new NSL Live Talk online, together with team and project coach Joey Jones.

Sky4ll member Hans Linding Oksen, who was also in the Pangaea lineup between 2015 and 2018, said that the CISM team continues with 4-way training and competition and with the same team members as in the past. The battle for the 4-way top spot in Denmark between the military and the civilian teams will probably be heating up.
The two different team environments are more separated than they were in the past. The 4-way lineups of the earlier Danish national teams (DaneZ, Voluntas) were often combinations of civilian and military 4-way competitors. There is no overlapping in the lineups in the recent years.
The lineups of the two civilian project teams are changing, while the project managers are also trying to recruit new and young skydivers for the coming years.
Ulrik Høgsberg is taking the inside center slot for Sky4ll. He was in earlier Danish 4-way project teams and team mate with Vibeke Birk Tiedemann for Sequence between 2007 and 2009. He moved to Norway for several years and competed in 4-way VFS with Blue Pelican, Norway's national team in 2016 and 2018.
Hans Linding Oksen also introduced the project's official B-team, which has been competing as Subsonic in 2019 and 2020. Only Lars Mølvad Jensen and Joshua Pierce are coming back after a year in the A Class, followed by the first AAA Class experiences in 2020. Stefanie Skalborg Andersen and Troels Jessen are the new B-team members for Subsonic.
Sky4ll were already very close to the CISM VAF Warriors last year, and the new lineup with coach Joey Jones will most likely challenge the reigning Danish 4-way champions even much more than before. The civilian team could bring the next change of the 4-way power rankings in Denmark.
