Did you know that Ripper won the national outdoor championship title in Australia? posted: May 19th, 2023 Australia is one of the countries/continents where the annual indoor/outdoor meet agenda does not match easily with the training and meet agenda of any Formation Skydiving competition teams. The NSL News covered the same situation in South Africa a few days ago, after Savolo had won their next national 4-title at the beginning of April.
As it happens every year, Australia's national outdoor championship took place while the national teams in North America and Europe, plus Qatar Tigers and INIT-Y from Brazil, were in their final preparations for the major indoor competition of the year, this... (more)
Did you know that Red Bull Aerodynamix was the most improved team in Slovakia? posted: May 18th, 2023 The NSL-TV video coverage of the 4-way Open Class competition at the FAI Indoor World Championship 2023 concludes with two teams who have another geographic connection and finished very close to each other on the leaderboard. Switzerland and Austria are the two countries in the center of one of the most beautiful European mountain chains, the Alpes, and they are bordering each other for over 100 miles.
Switzerland was represented by RealFly Fire this time, as the NSL News reported on 29 December 2022. The Swiss CISM team Airheads had competed for their country at the previous indoor world championship... (more)
Did you know that Savolo won their next South African 4-way championship title? posted: May 17th, 2023 The Formation Skydiving competition world was recently zooming in on the Hurricane Factory Tatralandia in Slovakia for the FAI Indoor World Championship 2023. At the same time, or at least very close to the event, outdoor events took place, as well.
It is especially difficult for teams in the southeastern hemisphere to adapt to the worldwide competition schedule that is dominated by North America and Europe. It may have caught the attention of only a few people in the sport that the field of 4-way teams at the indoor world championship did not include national teams from Australia, New Zealand... (more)
Did you know that Bronteroc and Flyspot Sky4Four met for the first time in Slovakia? posted: May 16th, 2023 The NSL News covered the tightest part of the 4-way Open Class leaderboard at the FAI Indoor World Championship 2023 with the update on May 3rd. Purple Maze from the northest part of Europe (Finland) and Papea from the most southern Europe (Spain) ended up tied in 9th place and together closed the door to the Top 10 positions for other potential contenders.

Did you know that Texas and Northern California completed their first 2023 outdoor events? posted: May 15th, 2023 The Texas Skydiving League had a slow start into the 2023 season.

The AA Class team and two of the three Rookie Class teams came back on Sunday, even though AA Class team The Sufficients were now missing one of the team members. Scott Latinis himself was there to help out: "They scraped the bottom of the barrel for a replacement and found me..."
He said that later the team's videographer... (more)
Did you know that Sky4Four's Arkadiusz Wlodarczyk had two 1-point battles within a month? posted: May 14th, 2023 Some of the teams who represented their countries at the FAI Indoor World Championship 2023 did not have much time until they performed the next Round 1 at an indoor event, after the previous ten rounds at the Flyspot Liga. They seem to enjoy 4-way competition and cannot get enough of it.
Two of the teams in Slovakia had a preview shortly before Round 1 at the Hurricane Factory Tatralandia. Magic 4 from Lithuania and Poland's national team Flyspot Sky4Four both performed their previous ten rounds at the Flyspot Liga's April meet.
Lithuania's national team was back in action with the same... (more)
