Did you know that Aethers Lille posted the team record average under the radar? posted: Oct 2nd, 2025 The dominating French performance of Aethers Lille at the FAI Outdoor World Cup 2025 was somehow almost taken for granted by teams, audience and media. The situation on the world's top level in horizontal 4-way competition reminds somehow on the time when Arizona Airspeed's previous lineup (Niklas Hemlin, Christopher Kuhlmann, Mikhail Markine, Joey Marshall) dominated between 2022 and 2024.
The distance to the team in 2nd place at Skydive Teuge, the Golden Knights, was still almost as large as it was two years earlier at the FAI Outdoor World Cup 2023 in Norway, where Arizona Airspeed won by... (more)
Did you know that German team PACE GoJump Gransee have won three times in three different categories? posted: Sep 29th, 2025 The competition for the two AAA Class medal positions behind Airbus Illertissen Oceanside at Germany's national outdoor championship was as exciting as the NSL News reported in the preview of the event on September 9th.
Three teams were expected to be in contention, and they confirmed the battle for medals in the four rounds that were completed at the event in the same order as the NSL Power Rankings indicated. The missing six rounds, including the Super Sequence in Round 8, would have probably continued this competition in a similar way. Pickup team Airmix, with the highly experienced 4-way... (more)

Did you know that mixed-gender lineups dominated again at the outdoor world cup? posted: Sep 27th, 2025 The NSL News aftermath of FAI/ISC indoor and outdoor world championships and world cups has included the gender breakdown of all participating 4-way teams and competitors in horizontal formation skydiving competition in the past years for informational purposes.

Did you know that the Golden Knights are in a good position after the outdoor world cup? posted: Sep 26th, 2025 The 24.6 average of the Golden Knights at the FAI Outdoor World Cup 2025 was the highest meet average of the current lineup, as the NSL News mentioned a few times during the aftermath. Nick Birkner, Mike Connors, Jeshua Stahler and Mitch Stockenberg have been training and competing together since 2022, with Skyler Romberg on camera since 2024. The performance at Skydive Teuge still has even more meaning than the team's new record number.
The previously highest 10-round average with the same lineup was the 22.9 at the Shamrock Showdown 2024, which was still standing a year later after this year's... (more)
Did you know that the German and Canadian national 4-way teams have similar lineups? posted: Sep 22nd, 2025 The family 4-way teams have been one of the favorite topics for the NSL News in the past years. It creates a very special situation when family members share the same passion in any activity, including jumping from an air plane to build certain formations by connecting with each other. The various maneuvers also bring piece partners even closer together, while all team members depend on each other's performance for 35 seconds like in no other sport.
The NSL News attention to family connections began with brothers decades ago in France. Matrial and Marin Ferre were team mates in 4-way and in... (more)
