Did you know that Mathieu Bernier succeeded with the first phase of his master plan? posted: Oct 13th, 2019 He did not even compete at the FAI Outdoor World Cup 2019, and he is still one of the winners after the conclusion of the event with the award ceremony on Saturday evening.
Mathieu Bernier has successfully completed the first part of his plan to win two gold medals at the next FAI World Meet 2020 in Tanay, Russia. He did not take two sets of gold medals back to France this time. However, his 4-way Women team won and left the British challenger NFTO further behind than expected, and the 8-way team left after a very strong statement in Eloy.

Did you know that Dennis Praet and Marco Arrigo discussed 4-way and 8-way double duties? posted: Oct 11th, 2019 The first event that was completed at the FAI Outdoor World Cup 2019 was the 4-way VFS competition, and Brianne Thompson won her first bronze medal.

Did you know that Brianne Thompson has the Fun Flag and pursues two bronze medals in Eloy? posted: Oct 10th, 2019 The Fun Flag had its first showing during the opening ceremony of the FAI Outdoor World Cup, as the NSL News reported yesterday. The Norwegian VFS team Blue Pelican had shown it during the opening ceremony on Monday and then kept it hidden on Tuesday.
They received the yellow card for the violation of the Fun Flag rules, even though team member Derek Nordlund Broughton said that his team simply forgot to bring the flag to Skydive Arizona in the morning. However, Blue Pelican followed up, and they were on their way to letting it fly again on Wednesday when the next party took possession of it.

Did you know that Joey Jones and the Fun Flag filled the wind hold time with updates? posted: Oct 9th, 2019 The FAI Outdoor World Cup was on a wind hold on Wednesday just when the 4-way teams had completed their 6th round. Meet director Brian Byrke at least accomplished his first goal, which was the 6th round in 4-way.
The previous NSL Reality TV video clip had included a time when Bryan Burke addressed teams in the loading area with advice for the increasingly challenging weather conditions. The first dust devils were whirling around the Skydive Arizona facilities and needed to be watched for safety reasons. Eventually, they appeared too frequently, and Bryan Burke put the whole meet on a wind hold.

Did you know that there are several interesting 4-way and 8-way double duties in Eloy? posted: Oct 9th, 2019 The 8-way competition of the FAI Outdoor World Cup lived up to all high expectations on Tuesday morning, and it seemed to be difficult for the 4-way event to match the level of excitement and thrill this time. Most often, the 4-way competition takes the center stage, and the 8-way teams do not get as much attention.
It surely is different this time, as the 8-way competition could not be much more exciting than it is. The three top teams are closer to each other than ever before. However, the 4-way re-match between new U.S. champion SDC Rhythm XP and Arizona Airspeed offers everything that could... (more)
