Did you know that the faster engineering might have won the gold medal at the Malevsky Cup 2004? posted: Jul 23rd, 2004 How much closer could it be? DeLand Majik was one point behind France Maubeuge going into round ten. It was already exciting enough to watch how the US team reduced the French three-point lead to one point, frame by frame in the first two rounds of the last meet day. The teams have been so close to each other in rounds eight and nine that it was difficult to imagine a difference of more than one point in a round. (more)

Did you know that Al Altendorfer and the weather both had beautiful comebacks in the CanAm Skydiving League? posted: Jul 20th, 2004 CanAm Skydiving League director Scott Anderson began his meet report with an unusual opening: "Something strange happened at Meet #2 of the CanAm league. No one was quite sure what to make of it.......It was sunny and winds were low!" No wonder, it is not unusual that skydiving events north of the border have serious weather problems. The first attempt of CanAm meet this year had been weathered out already.

Meet director Mike Minicozzi had also done a great deal of legwork securing sponsors... (more)
