Did you know that two teams from Skydive Miami attended the FSL meet in DeLand? posted: Jun 18th, 2007 The 4-way summer in Florida is gaining new momentum. It has been a while that six teams from Florida attended a summer meet. Skydive DeLand hosted the 4th FSL meet of the 2007 season, and all six teams completed the six rounds on Saturday after a day with perfect weather conditions.
It was not a weekend where any teams would be able to post new record scores. The toughest golfing weekend at the US Open happened to coincide with the slowest competition draw of the 2007 season, at least for the teams in the AAA Class and also in the AA Class. (more)

Did you know that John Hoover's 4-way career continues for now? posted: Jun 14th, 2007 John Hoover's NSL Profile has not been updated ever since the Golden Knights switched priority from 8-way to 4-way.
