Did you know that Rhythm 8 members ended up in the closest Shamrock 4-way battle? posted: Mar 29th, 2021 The small field of teams at the live part of the Shamrock Showdown 2021 at Skydive City generated more than enough exciting competition and interesting information. There was actually no area on the 4-way AAA Class leaderboard that did not have rounds and duels to follow carefully.
Arizona Airspeed did not have any opposition on the top of the leaderboard, and the U.S. indoor champions competed mostly against the competition draw. However, that alone was challenging enough with the 4-way world paying all the attention to the Airspeed performance at the first outdoor competition of the world... (more)

The 4-way Women team, Aerodyne Cypres Maubeuge, did not have the complete lineup available, and national coach Mathieu Bernier filled in for the event.

However, she missed only... (more)
