Did you know that Sweden's Echochamber will be well prepared at Paraclete XP? posted: Mar 9th, 2025 The NSL News audience may remember the NSL Live Talk with Sweden's national team in 4-way Open, Echochamber, that was recorded on 11 October 2024, after the completion of the 26th FAI World Formation Skydiving Championships at Crystal Coast in North Carolina.
The headline was telling its own story of a passionate and committed 4-way team, and of team members who love to spend time for training and competition together. Team speaker Ulf Liljenback confirmed not too long ago that Echochamber will follow up on their plans for the next decade. The Swedish team is registered for the FAI Indoor World... (more)
Did you know that the ICL Midwest team is back in full swing with a new CSC Constellation XP lineup? posted: Mar 8th, 2025 CSC Constellation XP are USPA's reigning 4-way Intermediate Class champions of 2024, and they also won the U.S. indoor title in the same category at the Paraclete XP Indoor Championship 2024. The same lineup did not continue this year, and CSC Constellation XP did not attend this year's national indoor championship.
However, Constellation were not done at all and were just working on recruiting the new lineup for 2025, which has now been confirmed. Last year's videographer, coach and mentor Paul Webster has committed to the tail slot, and Lem Castro is taking the open point slot. Natalie Rodriguez... (more)
Did you know that Niklas Hemlin is back for Arizona Airspeed at the indoor world championship? posted: Mar 7th, 2025 Arizona Airspeed won the Paraclete XP Indoor Championship 2024 by 46 points (310 - 264) over the team in 2nd place, the Golden Knights. It was the lineup who dominated 4-way AAA Class competition worldwide since 2021 (Niklas Hemlin, Mikhail Markine, Joey Marshall, Chris Kuhlmann).
There was no indication at the time of last year's U.S. national indoor championship that the lineup would change after the 26th FAI World Formation Skydiving Championships, where the same lineup won their second set of FAI gold medals consecutively. Only the camera position had changed, from Brendan Haddon in Eloy... (more)
Did you know that teams from Slovakia had once again their own national indoor championship? posted: Mar 5th, 2025 Teams from Slovakia have visited the neighboring Czech Republic for many years to compete at Jan Klapka's meets of the Czech Tunnel League at the Hurricane Factory in Prague. The Skydive University Slovakia team was probably the first one to join the events at the Hurricane Factory in Prague in 2016.
Jan Klapka had launched his 4-way events as soon as the Hurricane Factory in Prague was ready for indoor action in 2011. The Hurricane Factory built the second Tatralandia facility in Slovakia two years later, while the indoor 4-way leagues (ICL/WTL) in Prague were still offering the more attractive... (more)
Did you know that Skywalkers Junior copied the Paraclete XP draw at the Hurricane Factory? posted: Mar 4th, 2025 The first scores and videos of the Indoor Cloud League for the month of February came once again from the Hurricane Factory in Prague, Czech Republic, where Jan Klapka has been running his 4-way junior school for several years.
The 4-way junior school itself has already been more than successful enough over the last decade, as it has produced new 4-way teams and competitors year after year in the Czech Republic. Indoor Cloud League and World Tunnel League events have provided the competitive arena for the youngest 4-way competitors, as it is well known at least for the NSL News audience.

8-way competition has been a part of indoor world championships only once so far. Weembi Lille's flying chamber is large enough to accommodate 8-way training and competition, and the wind tunnel in France hosted the event and the first 8-way... (more)
