Did You Know...

... that the Paraclete XP Indoor Skydiving Championships 2011 features the US BIG 5?

8-way training at Paraclete XP
posted Dec 20th, 2010 - The NSL News provided a few previews of the Paraclete XP Indoor Skydiving Championships 2011 with several earlier stories. Paraclete XP4 member John D'Annunzio now provided new information, which included the first overview of the teams that will compete in Raeford in February.

John D'Annunzio sounded very excited when he mentioned the 8-way part of the competition. He said that seven teams have already registered for the meet. The field of 8-way teams includes his own Paraclete XP8 lineup, the Golden Knights and Roguish Fury, a combination of Perris Fury, Dallas Rogue and a few other high-profile members.

There will also be a French 8-way lineup player coached by reigning world champions Martial Ferre and Damien Sorlin. The NSL News will provide more details of the 8-way lineups later. However, it is obvious that this meet will most likely be the biggest 8-way indoor competition so far.

Back in 2011: SDC Furies
The 4-way indoor competition was a high-profile event in 2008 and 2009, and it will not be different next year in February. The US top contenders of 2011 that the NSL News has introduced in the previous weeks (Arizona Airspeed, Perris Fury, Golden Knights, Paraclete XP4, SDC Rhythm XP) will all be present for the first 4-way battle in 2011.

Unofficial US amateur champion of 2010, DeLand Shmeland XP, has signed up to stay as close as possible to the Big 5 and battle with a second Paraclete lineup (Tim D’Annunzio, Andy Delk, Dennis Rook, Brian Johnson).

The SDC Furies are also back for the 2011 season. They will challenge the female 4-way lineup of the Golden Knights, which is now moving into the AAA/Open Class world of Formation Skydiving competition.

The NSL News still owes the audience a correction after the last live NSL Talk with SDC Rhythm XP members JaNette and Steve Lefkowitz, and it is related to the Paraclete XP4 lineup. The NSL News reported earlier that XP4 continues with the same lineup next year, but with different slots.

This is still the case, however, the slots are different than how the NSL News reported. John D'Annunzio is not switching from the Point to the Tail slot. He continues in the front piece and will be XP4's Center Outside. John Eagle will be his piece partner in the Point position.

This brings former Airspeed team mates Kirk Verner and Andy Honigbaum back together in the rear piece, Kirk Verner as the XP4 center engine and Andy Honigbaum in the Tail slot that he had with Airspeed years ago. The Paraclete XP Indoor Skydiving Championships 2011 will be the first test for the new XP4 constellation.
