Did you know that Skydive Midwest NEXT and SDC Rhythm XP have an indoor rematch in Charleroi? posted: Mar 11th, 2022 Paraclete XP Indoor Championship and Shamrock Showdown 2022 both featured Arizona Airspeed taking over and back the world's 4-way top spot, even without much international opposition until now.
Performance and scores at both events made it clear enough that it will be difficult for any other team to keep up with the Airspeed quality and pace. It was not really a big surprise, as the new lineup demonstrated its strength and potential already at the few 2020 and 2021 events.
However, it was not only Arizona Airspeed's top level performance that created the current situation. NMP PCH HayaBusa,... (more)
Did you know that HF Flying Circus will probably battle once again for a Top 10 spot? posted: Mar 10th, 2022 The NSL News mentioned in the latest Indoor Cloud League update from the Czech Republic that the teams would have one more opportunity to get additional competition practice in a 10-round meet before traveling to Belgium at the beginning of April for the FAI Indoor World Cup 2022.
The same update included the NSL Power Rankings in 4-way Women and 4-way Junior for the indoor world cup after the exclusion of the seven Russian 4-way teams. HF Cubs and both Czech 4-way Junior teams have realistic chances to bring new sets of FAI indoor medals to the Czech Republic.
All four Czech teams for the... (more)

Did you know that the Czech teams seem to be ready for pursuing more FAI/ISC gold medals? posted: Mar 8th, 2022 The Czech Indoor Cloud League team at the Hurricane Factory in Prague generated almost exactly the same record field in participation last month as they did in January. 15 teams had created the Czech ICL leaderboard in January for a total of 142 points, and 14 teams scored the 146 points for February. Only one of the new Rookie Class teams (HMHM) did not post scores and videos last month.
All four Czech teams who are registered for the FAI Indoor World Cup 2022 are also on the February leaderboard, and three of them contributed heavily to the total of 146 points, which is the highest ICL number... (more)
Did you know that Arizona Airspeed had their strongest indoor/outdoor start in team history? posted: Mar 7th, 2022 It was a very convincing start into the outdoor world meet season that Arizona Airspeed presented in February/March, first at the Paraclete XP Indoor Championship, followed by the Shamrock Showdown.
In fact, it was the best start in Airspeed history, and it made for a very strong statement. It was not only meant to impress NMP PCH HayaBusa, the 4-way indoor and outdoor world champions since 2014. The Belgians were fully aware of the situation and had accepted their restart earlier, with little chances to defend the title successfully in October.
HayaBusa needed the handicap of the traditional... (more)
