Did you know that the 4-way Open Class teams launch the USPA Nationals on Sunday morning? posted: Oct 26th, 2025 At the end of another beautiful fall day at Skydive Arizona, teams and competitors were streaming to the place where meetings have been held for many years. It was time for the meet briefing and the competition draw after the last training day had come to an end.
Registration procedures and the last adjustments had their deadline at four o'clock in the afternoon. One of the last adjustments was probably the change of the video slot for AA/Intermediate Class medal contender Relentless from Florida who had to replace their team videographer in the last minute after an injury. The adjustment was... (more)

Did you know that the A/Beginner Class is the biggest winner at the USPA Nationals? posted: Oct 24th, 2025 The biggest winner of the USPA Nationals 2025 is the A/Beginner Class that USPA included first time in the event format for the national outdoor championships in 2021. The National Skydiving League introduced the A Class in 2000, dive pool and sequences are still the same that they were when the category was launched.
It was the next step to offer 4-way teams a gradual progression from the beginnings of a team career to the complete FAI/ISC dive pool, with currently 22 blocks and 16 random formations. The NSL followed up a few years later with the introduction of the RRR (Rookie) Class, which... (more)

A total of 58 teams have signed up for the horizontal 4-way competition, and registration is still open until Saturday.
As usual, the 4-way AA/Intermediate Class teams contribute most to the total number, even though this category is facing... (more)
