The NSL News reported on October 1st how impressive the Skywalkers Junior outdoor scoring progression has been, after the former 4-way juniors completed their transition to outdoor training and competition last year. They won the national 4-way championship title in their first year and have lifted the scoring level of Czech 4-way teams to an unknown level by now.
All current team members were limited to 4-way indoor training and competition when they started as 4-way juniors in the 14-foot flying chamber of the Hurricane Factory in Prague, where Jan Klapka has guided many children into the 4-way competition world and created the first Czech 4-way world champions in the 4-way junior category.
The former Skywalkers 4-way juniors have continued posting scores for the Czech Indoor Cloud League team even through the summer season, when their main focus was on outdoor training. The conclusion of the outdoor season now brings them back to the environment that they grew up in, and the first competition of the Czech Tunnel League winter season is just around the corner. Most likely, a similar progression of the Skywalkers Junior's outdoor performance will also be seen when they resume their indoor training, which has been second priority throughout the summer season.

The latest update from the Hurricane Factory was enough reason for the NSL News to take a closer look at what could possibly be expected from the world's youngest 4-way Open Class team this indoor winter season, which has hardly begun.
The two monthly Open Class sequences (AAA/AA) of the Indoor Cloud League are usually not on the faster side. The AAA Class draw always includes one of the slot-switching block in a 6-point sequence, and the AA Class sequence goes through all 22 blocks in the current dive pool in all variations and combinations.
The scoring average that Skywalkers Junior posted for the AAA/AA combination in September and October is the next indication that the young Czech team continues their path towards the world's highest scoring levels in both environments. The 26.0 average for the AAA/AA combination in the last two months speaks its own 4-way language. Jan Klapka is also happy to have all his 4-way junior lineups back together after the slower indoor summer season, even though he had to scramble the lineups once again. The current 4-way juniors are the next generation who may follow Skywalkers Junior's example in the coming years.
