Did you know that Chris Talbert was a missing piece in the puzzle?
posted: Feb 13th, 2026 The recent NSL News story of the Golden Knights included a review and comparison with the U.S. Army’s 4-way lineup from 2001 to 2003, including 8-way world champions of 1995 and 1997, John Hoover and Eric Heinsheimer. The update also mentioned that their teammate Kurt Isenbarger later added his name to the William H. Ottley Sword for 8-way world champions — also known as the 8-way Excalibur — in Dubai 2012. Former 8-way team captain Sean Sweeney reminded the NSL News that the fourth Golden Knights member of 2004, Chris Talbert, has his name engraved on the 8-way Excalibur as well. Although... (more)

Did you know that the Golden Knights explained the start of an exciting competition season?
posted: Feb 11th, 2026 The Golden Knights 4-way team enter the season as the reigning U.S. indoor and outdoor champions. This year, they will represent the United States at the sport’s premier event, the outdoor world championship. The last time this happened was in Gap 2003, when Eric Heinsheimer, John Hoover, Kurt Isenbarger, and Chris Talbert competed for the U.S. Army and the U.S. delegation in France. With Tal Hunter on camera, the team earned the silver medal, finishing just behind the French home team. Eric Heinsheimer and John Hoover had already secured their places on the prestigious William H. Ottley Sword,... (more)

Did you know that the NSL News introduces the new XP8 members?
posted: Feb 10th, 2026 NSL News reported on January 15th that the Paraclete XP lineup had changed once again shortly after the start of the new year. The major shift followed the FAI Indoor World Championship 2025, when the three Golden Knights in the active lineup—Drew Starr, Jesse Stahler, and Mike Conners—stepped back from the team, along with John D'Annunzio, Andrew Happick, and Matt Davidson. Jeana Billings and Kirk Verner remained and began recruiting new teammates. Jennifer Davidson, Jill Stephenson, James Hall, Carl Kallgren IV, Brandon Kashani, and Ian Pedowitz joined as the new XP8 members, with Kevin... (more)

Did you know that Gary Smith praises NMP PCH HayaBusa members?
posted: Feb 9th, 2026 The previous NSL Live Talk with NMP PCH HayaBusa coach Gary Smith was published as part of the Wind Games update on January 28th. At the time, Smith was already in Empuriabrava, Spain, preparing to guide the Belgian 4-way team toward a second-place finish behind the French Aethers. He shared his final insights ahead of Round 1, which ultimately finalized the NSL Power Rankings in the last preview before the competition. In addition, Smith assisted Pete Allum, who was unavailable to work with the Swiss 4-way Women’s team Airdrops, which he normally coaches. Smith’s primary focus, however,... (more)

Did you know that the Czech Skywalkers Most were back in ICL January action?
posted: Feb 9th, 2026 Jan Klapka's Indoor Cloud League team at the Hurricane Factory in Prague responded quickly to the last-minute loss of the 2025 competition. Kyle Hermberg's team at iFLY Dallas had taken first place in the ICL 2025 season from the Hurricane Factory in December, as the NSL News reported on January 11th. The December competition of the Indoor Cloud League 2025 season was the only one that Skywalkers Most did not attend last year. The young Czech national 4-way Open Class team competed for the Hurricane Factory from January through November, winning both open-class sequences (AAA/AA) and contributing... (more)

Did you know that Jeana Billings, Jennifer Davidson, and Doug Barron master double duties with ease?
posted: Feb 5th, 2026 NSL News reported on January 21 that SDC Rhythm XP member Doug Barron committed to double duties in both 4-way and 8-way competition for 2026. This commitment is hardly surprising, as the entire Rhythm lineup trained and competed in 8-way throughout 2025. At the FAI Outdoor World Cup 2025, SDC Rhythm XP finished fourth in 4-way, while the 8-way team Prison 9—featuring all five Rhythm members—earned a second-place finish. Performing double duties at FAI/ISC competitions is considerably more demanding than at USPA Nationals or training camps, where events are scheduled separately and follow... (more)
