Team Spaï (Tobias Alsiö, Mikael Kaulanen, Ulf Liljenbäck, Mats Svensson) battled with Team 42 (Mattias Pålsson, Joar Stenkvist, Jens Thögersen, Andreas Wittbom) throughout the 2006 and 2007 season.
Team 42 had the last word at the Swedish Nationals 2006, won with a 15.1 average over Team Spaï (14.5) and competed for Sweden at the World Meet 2006. Team 42 finished in 11th place with a 16.2 average in Germany.
New team names appeared on the Swedish leaderboards in 2008. This time, Evolution (Martin Askelin, Emil Einarsson, Rickard Rodensjo, Felix Wallberg) and Blue Spirits (Johnny Andersson, Ulf Liljenbäck - Tail, Johnny Olsson, Jens Thögersen) were fighting it out for the Swedish 4-way slot at the World Meet 2008 in France.
Evolution lost the first two meets in Sweden (13.2 - 14.8 and 13.3 - 14.0) but won the 1st place at the Swedish Nationals 2008 (16.1 - 15.2) and traveled to France. Evolution finished in 15th place with a 15.0 average at the World Meet 2008.
It did not happen, as Blue Spirits discontinued the teaqm project at the beginning of the 2009 season. Evolution was without serious competition in Sweden and was nominated early as the national 4-way team for the World Cup in the Czech Republic.
Evolution 2009 competed at the World Challenge 2009 (20.1) and attended the two Swedish Cup meets (15.0 - 18.8) before winning the Swedish Nationals with a 14.6 average. Evolution also set a new Swedish record for a single round with a 29-pointer in Round 6 of the July meet.
Fact is also that Evolution is not coming back this year. However, two Evolution members (Mikael Kaulanen and Rickard Rodensjö) have formed a new team, together with two members of last year's Top Gun lineup (Seth Ericsson and Johan Karlsson).
Team Bardagi is planning to win this year's national championship and compete for Sweden at the World Championship of Formation Skydiving 2010. A training camp in DeLand in April with coach Solly Williams will prepare the new team for the 2010 season.
Two Blue Spirits members of 2008 (Johnny Andersson and Johnny Olsson) have joined forces with Kenneth Ericsson and former Evolution coach and DeLand Majik world champion of 2004, Joey Jones. Kenneth Ericsson was a Phenix member, the team that competed for Sweden at the World Cup 2002 (17.5) and the World Meet 2003 (16.8) with Mathias Nord, who then beame a member of the Norwegian national 4-way team Arcteryx.
The Blue Spirits 2010 lineup has the same goal as Bardagi. The team has already kicked off the 2010 training with a tunnel camp at Bodyflight Bedford and continues with outdoor training in Spain at the beginning of April. The new race in Sweden is on...
