Did You Know...

... that NSL-TV presents the Shamrock Showdown 2010 Show?

John and Lynn Dunn prepare the stage for the Shamrock Showdown 2010
posted Aug 30th, 2010 - The NSL News mentioned a few times this year that a real NSL-TV show was in the works. It would cover the FSL Shamrock Showdown 2010.

Joey Jones was anchoring the show, which was produced live on competition site at Skydive DeLand during the event.

Editing the footage and getting it ready for airing it for the first time on the Brighthouse Sports Network, a regional cable channel in Florida and a few other states, took a while.

Executive producer John Dunn eventually finalized the show for NSL-TV before it was sent off to the network.

It was aired several times in the meantime, and the NSL News can finally present it to the online audience.

The Shamrock Showdown 2010 turned out to be a perfect opportunity to present the sport to the general public, as this year's event had record participation and world class visitors from several different countries.

Joey Jones and Aerokart Deep Blue member Sophie Deremaux
Host Joey Jones did not have much time to get ready for his job. The Shamrock Showdown 2010 was in full swing while he and John Dunn prepared for the live comments and interviews in front of the camera.

Sun Path Products had provided the stage for the show, while Aerodyne made the backdrop look more like a skydiving environment.

Aerodyne President Bill Legard had the opportunity during the show to present skydiving equipment and logistical support to the general public.

The show turned out to be different than what you usually see on TV, and it was entertaining, thanks to anchor Joey Jones and his lively presentation.

NSL Productions will learn from this year's experiences and make an even better show of the FSL Shamrock Showdown 2011.

By the way, and looking back: once again the winner of the Shamrock Showdown turned out to be the winner of big events later the same year.

DeLand Majik won the Shamrock Showdown 2004 and then the gold medals at the World Meet 2004 in Croatia.



Winner of the Shamrock - winner in Menzelinsk: Aerodyne Cypres Maubeuge
DeLand Fire won first the Shamrock Showdown 2005 and then the USPA Nationals 2005 to qualify as the US national team for the World Meet 2006 in Germany.

DeLand Fire and Sinapsi took the first two places at the Shamrock Showdown 2006 and both won medals later at the World Meet 2006 in Germany.

DeLand Fire member Natasha Montgomery became the first female gold medalist in the 4-way Open Class.

Arizona Airspeed won the Shamrock Showdown 2007 and then the USPA Nationals 2007. Airspeed came back to DeLand in 2008, won the Shamrock and then the gold medals at the World Meet 2008 in Maubeuge, France.

Airspeed tripled the Shamrock glory in 2009 and won again at the USPA Nationals. Then Airspeed missed the Shamrock Showdown 2010 and later the gold medals at the World Championship of Formation Skydiving 2010. The winner of this year's Shamrock also won in Menzelinsk: Aerodyne Cypres Maubeuge. Make your plans for the FSL Shamrock Showdown 2011...
