Did you know that 4-way teams transition in many ways at this time of the year? posted: Apr 25th, 2023 The aftermath of the FAI Indoor World Championship 2023 will still continue for a while. FAI/ISC's world championships and world cups are naturally the most relevant events in Formation Skydiving competition and deserve all possible attention. However, other events continue at the same time and need to be covered, as well.

Did you know that Airspeed is no stranger to a bad Round 1? posted: Apr 24th, 2023 Arizona Airspeed and XPG4 were both available for NSL Live Talk after the Formation Skydiving part of the FAI Indoor World Championship 2023 was over on Saturday.

Did you know that HF Flying Rebels transitioned once again from AAA to AA sequences? posted: Apr 23rd, 2023 The 4-way Junior competition of the FAI Indoor World Championship 2023 turned into a very disappointing experience.

The NMP PCH HayaBusa members have become used to the attention that the NSL News has given the top teams, and they are dealing with it just as casually as other athletes do.
Dennis Praet jokingly mentioned that the same situation did not turn out very well on Friday when the French national team in 4-way Open was one of the two featured teams of the day. Round 7 was not the best one of the four rounds on Friday for France.
The results for France... (more)
