Did you know that nine teams enjoyed the fast draw in the desert sun? posted: Apr 20th, 2005 The backdrop for Meet #3 of the Southwest Skydiving League was a beautiful spring day in Eloy, Arizona. Nine four-way teams enjoyed a fast draw and the opportunity to compete with the league’s two full-time teams, Arizona Airspeed Odyssey and Arizona Airspeed Velocity. To top off the great weather and participation, a strange coincidence: round five of the draw was exactly the same jump as round three of Meet #2 on March 19th. Omniskore provided the professional judging, the staff at Skydive Arizona ran things like a clockwork, and guest meet director Andi McNew did a great job. (more)
Did you know that round six of the SSL Valentine's Meet 2005 completes the NSL-TV coverage? posted: Mar 28th, 2005 Round six of the SSL Valentine's Meet 2005 completes the NSL-TV coverage of this event. This last round offers one last opportunity for now to review Arizona Airspeed's two line-ups competing at the first competition of the 2005 season in February. Airspeed Odyssey and Velocity did not travel to Perris for the March meet of the Southwest Skydiving League. However, the SSL moves back to Eloy, Arizona, in April. There is a very good chance that new Airspeed 4-way footage will then become available for NSL-TV and the valued audience. (more)
