posted May 25th, 2025 - The first three months of the Indoor Cloud League 2025 have generated the most promising leaderboard since the impact of the corona virus crisis. In fact, the comeback is as strong as the years were before the pandemic, when five ICL teams participated consistently between 2017 and 2019 (Hurricane Factory, Paraclete XP, iFLY Seattle, iFLY Dallas, iFLY Tampa), and additional ICL teams joined the leaderboards here and there.

Hurricane Factory, Paraclete XP and iFLY Dallas have been back in the first three months of this year, while ICL Midwest and iFLY Fort Lauderdale have become new and strong players since joining at one point or another after the pandemic. iFLY Tampa will soon re-join the new and current Big 5 of the Indoor Cloud League and bring another strong player back onto the monthly ICL leaderboards.

Mike Talerico is organizing a mixed group of former participants and new 4-way competitors. He was a regular participant when the iFLY Tampa team was one of the most consistent participants. Emily Kristansen, former general manager at iFLY Tampa and now iFLY's corporate director of the U.S. southeast region, explained that iFLY Tampa has generated the most experienced and busiest skydiving clientele in the country. She supported the ICL comeback at iFLY Tampa and participates, as well. The first Indoor Cloud League comeback event at iFLY Tampa is scheduled for next week, and the lineups include several participants who attended the last event in June 2021. Mike Talerico now has four lineups who will take on the six May sequences.

The 2025 season of the Indoor Cloud League has featured a competitive field of five teams so far, disregarding the strong Czech team on the top of the leaderboard. The young Czech 4-way junior teams at the Hurricane Factory have been challenging each other and the Czech 4-way seniors, which created a competitive environment in the Czech Republic. One of the results was the 4th place of Skywalkers Junior at the FAI Indoor World Championship 2025.

However, even the strong leader is not winning all categories month by month. The Hurricane Factory swept the complete ICL leaderboard only in January, when Skywalkers Junior (AAA/AA), Junior Helikopters (A/RRR) and Junior Sharks (RR/R) posted the highscores for all six sequences. Other lineups of other ICL teams won or tied monthly highscores regularly, as well.

It is also a competitive situation behind the Czech teams at the Hurricane Factory. The other four ICL teams have been switching back and forth in the other positions on the monthly leaderboards. After the completion of the first three months of the year, ICL Midwest (powered by CSC Constellation XP) and iFLY Dallas (Kyle Hermberg) are separated by four points (310 - 306), while iFLY Fort Lauderdale (4Action) and Paraclete XP (XP Angels) are separated by eight points (250 - 242). The iFLY Tampa team has the potential to place themselves in the higher area of the monthly leaderboards. The scores and videos for April and May will soon be added to the leaderboard.
