News Article Did you know that 4-way juniors dominated the Czech Indoor Open?
posted: Jan 26th, 2024 It is no news any longer that Jan Klapka's 4-way junior school program in the Czech Republic has generated a whole new generation of 4-way competitors. The NSL News audience has had the opportunity to follow the progression of the Czech 4-way juniors for many years, with the participation at the Indoor Cloud League and the monthly meets of the Czech Tunnel League in the winter season.

News Article Did you know that Doug Hendrix won the player-coach competition at SkyVenture New Hampshire?

Many of the more experienced 4-way competitors are player-coaches for other teams at the same time. The winner of the unofficial player-coaching contest was Doug Hendrix this year, who won the AAA/Open Class competition with Chicken Bolts and added a second 1st place to his accomplishments. He was also in the lineup of Roscoe’s Roundup who won the AA/Advanced Class competition. His Chicken Bolts team mate Monique Lai challenged him for the top spot of the player-coaches... (more)

posted: Jan 23rd, 2024 The SkyVenture New Hampshire Tunnel Fest 2024 took place at the same time when the Hurricane Factory in Prague hosted this year's national open indoor championship. However, both events needed their own separate competition draws, as the 4-way teams in New Hampshire perform their ten sequences in a 12-foot flying chamber and apply different dive pools, compared to the 14-foot chamber in Prague. The competition in the Czech Republic featured once again the duel between Skywalkers Junior, reigning national outdoor champions, and HF Chameleons, the Czech national team in 4-way Junior (AA). Skywalkers... (more)

posted: Jan 22nd, 2024 The NSL News preview of the SkyVenture New Hampshire Tunnel Fest 2024 on January 9th included a short introduction of the Chicken Bolts lineup, who then competed with the mentioned members last weekend. It was the first 4-way indoor meet for the New England team, while the complete lineup consists of experienced indoor and outdoor competitors.

posted: Jan 19th, 2024 The recent NSL News coverage of the medal count in 4-way Formation Skydiving competition since 1985 pointed out that all 20 sets of gold and silver medals went either to the national teams from the United States, France or Belgium, with only two exceptions.
