Did You Know...

... that Sequenz won their 3rd consecutive outdoor championship in Denmark?

AAA Class awards at Denmark's outdoor championship
posted Aug 7th, 2025 - Denmark's national 4-way team Sequenz and Hey Hallå have been sharing leaderboards at national outdoor championships since 2021, even though both teams have a longer history in 4-way formation skydiving competition. Sequenz was actually launched in 2007, and original member Ulrik Høgsberg is still in the current lineup.

The NSL News featured the Sequenz history with the update on 9 July 2021. It was the year when the Danish team won the national outdoor championship title for the first time. They lost it a year later against Denmark's CISM team and took it back in 2023 to keep it last year and win again this year.

Hey Hallå were still competing in the A Class when both teams attended the same national outdoor championship for the first time in 2021, after launching the team in 2019. As Sequenz, Hey Hallå also still have one original team member, Henrik Pontoppidan, in the current lineup. Hey Hallå won the AA Class title in 2022 and eventually ended up on the same AAA Class leaderboard in 2023, now with three of the current members, Henrik Pontoppidan, Kirsten Mahncke and Mads Blomgren. Mie Jusjong joined the team in 2024, and a year later last month, Hey Hallå finished with a new 12.8 team record average on the AAA Class leaderboard.

It was not enough to challenge the highly experienced Sequenz lineup seriously, who won the Super Sequence in Round 4 (L,C,F,D,Q) alone by seven points. However, Hey Hallå managed to tie two of the ten completed rounds and even stole the highscore in Round 9. Sequenz, who have currently been working on cleaning up their performance before going back to full speed, still finished with their highest 10-round average since 2021.

Sequenz member Hans Oksen reported from Denmark that the weather did not cooperate much, while all ten rounds were still completed: "The competition was marked by bad weather, but we managed with the smallest possible margin to complete all ten rounds."

Denmark's old and new indoor and outdoor 4-way champions are not registered for the upcoming FAI Outdoor World Cup 2025 in the Netherlands, even though the competition site is probably within driving distance. The Danish Parachute Union is not sanctioning and supporting European championships/world cups any longer. Sequenz hope that they will compete again at the outdoor world championship next year in Eloy. The current Sequenz lineup would go back in 2026 to the place where they competed with the previous lineup, including original member Vibeke Birk Tideman, the FAI Outdoor World Championship 2022. Peter Stræde, who replaced Vibeke Birk Tideman in 2023, had his current team mates Flemming Borup Andersen and Hans Oksen in the Pangaea lineup who competed for Denmark in Ottawa 2016.

The current Sequenz lineup have not competed at a world championship together yet. Next year's event at Skydive Arizona will be the target, hopefully with support of Denmark's skydiving federation. The indoor season will come first, and Denmark's national indoor championship will be hosted by a wind tunnel in Sweden in November this year. Sequenz plan to continue with the same lineup and coach Roy Janssen.

The national outdoor championship in July also featured a new team on the AAA Class leaderboard. Flyverust were planning to compete in the AA Class and moved up to AAA when they had no competition in the lower category. They had attended only two A Class meets before and were now facing slot-switching sequences.

Flyverust were keeping up well with the other three teams behind Sequenz and Hey Halla and tied the highscore of this group in Round 8. The lineup includes Aslak Ponsaing, Karsten Cooper-Jensen' s son. Kate Cooper-Jensen was a member of Danish Divas, who competed for Denmark in 4-way Women at the FAI Mondial Dubai 2012. Sequenz member Ulrik Høgsberg attended the same event with Voluntas in 4-way Open 13 years ago.
