Did you know that Arizona Airspeed was well prepared for Round 2?
posted: Sep 18th, 2026 The Golden Knights left Skydive Perris after completing the 4-way competition at the USPA Nationals 2026. They had no plans to compete in any of the other formation skydiving events and intended to return to preparations for their next major event as quickly as possible: the FAI Outdoor World Championship 2026. Arizona Airspeed continued with the 8-way competition, while the other traditional events, 16-way and 10-way, are also regularly on Airspeed's agenda. This worked out well for the NSL News, as the complete lineup was available for an NSL Live Talk interview after the completion of the... (more)

Did you know that the Golden Knights posted the highest scores in each of the last six rounds consecutively?
posted: Sep 17th, 2026 The entire formation skydiving competition world knows by now that Arizona Airspeed successfully defended its nine-point lead from Round 1 throughout the remainder of the 4-way Open Class competition at the USPA Nationals 2026. Three of those nine points remained after Round 10 (254–251), which was enough to claim the USPA gold medals. It has now become one of the very rare occasions when the national 4-way Open team will not compete for the country at the outdoor world championship in the same year. The Golden Knights, however, won five of the last six rounds, allowing Airspeed to tie their... (more)

Did you know that the NSL News features the new Paraclete XP8 lineup?
posted: Sep 16th, 2026 The number of 20 teams across the three 8-way categories matches last year's participation at Skydive Arizona. However, Skydive Perris has a different atmosphere after the completion of the 4-way competition, including the award ceremony yesterday evening. It is almost a recreational atmosphere, even though serious 8-way competition is now underway. Last year's national outdoor championship was also the first and only outdoor competition for the new XP8 lineup. Only two reigning 8-way world champions, Jeana Billings and Kirk Verner, were back, together with Jennifer Davidson, the 2018 8-way... (more)

Did you know that the USPA 8-way competition will provide world meet information?
posted: Sep 16th, 2026 The 4-way competition of the USPA Nationals 2026 is over, and the dropzone will become quieter for the 8-way competition. The increased number of 4-way teams compared to the USPA Nationals 2025 (59–57), including the guest teams, kept the Skydive Perris and USPA staff busy during the two 4-way days. Twenty 8-way teams competed in Eloy last year, and the participation number will probably be higher at this event as well. The 8-way competition is scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday, and Paraclete XP8's new lineup is once again expected to contend for the USPA championship title. The team's... (more)

Did you know that Qatar coach Andy Grauwels discussed the Round 1 psychology?
posted: Sep 15th, 2026 It was a late start on Monday morning at the USPA Nationals 2026 due to the morning fog. However, all 4-way teams still completed six rounds, and the 16 teams in 4-way Open even got Round 7 out of the way. The Golden Knights were able to reduce the damage from Round 1 from nine to seven points. The results of Round 1 were obviously not just a one-time occurrence, with a bad round for the U.S. Army team and a great round for Arizona Airspeed. The new Airspeed lineup won two more rounds (3 and 4) after the Golden Knights reacted strongly to the Round 1 disaster in Round 2. There are still three... (more)

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)
