Did you know that there is a good side to Round 1 for the Golden Knights?
posted: Sep 14th, 2026 The NSL News has discussed the in/famous Round 1 many times with experts in formation skydiving competition, in 8-way as much as in 4-way. The world's best teams, competitors, and coaches have never denied that the mental challenge of the first round of a competition is on a level that is out of proportion compared to the following rounds. Round 1 of the USPA Nationals 2026 in 4-way Open and 4-way Advanced brought the fastest sequence of all ten rounds to the 29 teams competing in these two classes. The combination of the mental pressure of Round 1 and a very fast sequence can be devastating,... (more)

Did you know that 59 teams are ready for 4-way action in Perris?
posted: Sep 14th, 2026 The USPA Nationals 2026 are ready for Round 1. The AAA Class teams will be confronted with a casual set of ten sequences, as the sequence for the potential tie-breaking Round 11 consists of two slower blocks and one of the six slot-switchers (Block 3). Round 1 features the fastest sequence of the entire AAA/Open/Advanced Class competition to get the meet started. Participation in the 4-way competition has increased compared to last year, when a total of 57 teams (12 - 14 - 20 - 11), including the guest team Aethers Lille from France, attended the event. This year, 16 teams compete in 4-way Open... (more)

Did you know that the USPA Nationals are back at Skydive Perris almost a decade later?
posted: Sep 13th, 2026 The NSL News transition from the numerous European national outdoor championships has been completed, and coverage of the USPA Nationals 2026 has begun. Sunday was the final training day before Round 1 gets underway on Monday morning. The meet briefing and competition draw are scheduled for Sunday at the end of the day's jumping activities. The first NSL TV Unfiltered video was recorded on Sunday at Skydive Perris, where the first USPA Nationals since 2017 are taking place. Arizona Airspeed won the 4-way Open Class gold medals in 2017, while guest team NMP PCH HayaBusa topped the same leaderboard.... (more)

Did you know that Echochamber and Thyra resemble World Championships from 2003 and 2024?
posted: Sep 12th, 2026 The NSL News is taking one more look at the previews for the FAI Outdoor World Championship 2026 with a special topic before turning its full attention to what is usually the world's largest national outdoor championship, the USPA Nationals 2026. Round 1 of the 4-way competition at Skydive Perris is scheduled for Monday morning. The unusual Scandinavian connection in formation skydiving competition between Ditta Valsdottir (Thyra – Norway) and Mattias Nord (Echochamber – Sweden) is not a new topic. The NSL News covered it in an update on 17 January 2025, a few months after the conclusion... (more)

Did you know that Funky Falcon becomes the second Dutch 4-way Women team at a World Championship?
posted: Sep 12th, 2026 The AAA Class teams at the BENELUX Outdoor Championship 2026 completed all ten rounds, just as all 4-way teams had done in Germany a week earlier. The other teams (AA, A, and RRR) in Schaffen, Belgium, were unable to complete a full 10-round competition. The three national 4-way teams from Belgium (NMP PCH HayaBusa) and the Netherlands (Out Of The Blue in 4-way Open and Funky Falcon in 4-way Women) were able to complete their final test before the FAI Outdoor World Championship 2026 in Eloy. There, the weather conditions can be expected to be more favorable than they were at the combined national... (more)

Did you know that Qatar Falcons saved their 20+ average at the German finish line?
posted: Sep 11th, 2026 The Qatar Falcons completed three more rounds alongside the four other German 8-way teams at the national outdoor championship in Gera. They still managed to bring the team's first 20+ average across the finish line, despite two slow sequences in Round 3 and Round 7. 8-way experts can debate whether the Falcons would have been able to maintain their 20+ level throughout all ten rounds. Three heavily block-loaded sequences (12,E,19 - 5,2,3 - 13,15,14) could have helped them complete the competition with a better weather situation. Faster 8-way sequences are usually not created by a series of... (more)
