Did you know that the GKXP8 lineup will compete for the U.S. delegation at Paraclete XP? posted: Apr 1st, 2025 The NSL News update on March 3rd was still a part of the aftermath of the 8-way competition at the Paraclete XP Indoor Championship 2025, even though it included a preview of the same event at the FAI Indoor World Championship 2025.
It was the French 8-way team No Name that connected the two events indirectly at that point in time. French Formation Skydiving legend Martial Ferre visited once again the 8-way Hell Week at Paraclete XP in February and the following U.S. national indoor championship at Paraclete XP, as he has done for many years. He confirmed that his No Name 8-way team will represent... (more)

Did you know that nothing will be the same at the Shamrock Showdown 2025? posted: Mar 28th, 2025 The FAI Indoor World Championship 2025 is just around the corner, and the same counts for the Shamrock Showdown 2025. The NSL News had reported on 25 June 2024 that Paraclete XP and Skydive DeLand would offer an indoor/outdoor double-pack in April 2025.
A similar cooperation took already place between 2012 and 2015 when Paraclete XP supported the first outdoor competition of the year in Florida, after the annual Paraclete Indoor Championship in February, and the Shamrock Showdown/Paraclete XP Outdoor Championship in March at Skydive DeLand. Once again the coordination of the two events seems... (more)
Did you know that three Scandinavian countries competed last weekend? posted: Mar 27th, 2025 Echochamber were not the only Scandinavian team who completed their national indoor championship last weekend. Norway and Finland held their own events at the same time at different locations, and all three 4-way competitions had their own and separate competition draws.
One of the main differences between the three Scandinavian events is also the fact that only one of the them will be represented at the FAI Indoor World Championship 2025 next month. Echochamber compete once again for Sweden and are probably the top contender for the unofficial title of the amateur indoor world champion, as... (more)

There is also an additional unofficial and undefined ranking position within each group that is expected to create exciting competition.

Did you know that French teams finished with two extra rounds at the national indoor championship? posted: Mar 25th, 2025 The French Indoor Nationals 2025 were completed at Aerokart in Paris without participation of the national teams in 4-way Open and 4-way Women. Aethers and Nephtys are in the middle of their preparations for the upcoming FAI Indoor World Championship, where they plan to win medals for France.
The French qualification for world championships and world cups is not a specific event that teams have to win. The French national coach has the authority to select the lineups for the national teams for a certain time period and change the lineups when it may become necessary. The French skydiving federation... (more)
