Did you know that Michele Silvi left NMP PCH HayaBusa without knowing new world meet troubles? posted: Oct 11th, 2023 Two different topics initiated the most recent NSL Live Talk conversation that was recorded today, on 11 October 2023. The first one came with the headline of the NSL News on September 1st, barely a week after Round 10 at the 23rd FAI World Cup of Formation Skydiving: "Michele Silvi is leaving NMP PCH HayaBusa".
This topic has surely been discussed intensively in the Formation Skydiving competition world ever since, and coach Gary Smith provided some insights for the NSL News with the update on September 14th.
The news was shocking and unexpected, even for the Belgian national team, who have... (more)
Did you know that SDC Rhythm XP won USPA bronze medals by a single point? posted: Oct 10th, 2023 The 4-way Super Sequence in Round 1 of the USPA Nationals 2023 and its impact on the Arizona Airspeed world champions caught most of the attention. SDC Rhythm XP and XPG4 were a part of this situation, as they both outscored Airspeed in Round 1.
SDC Rhythm XP claimed the highscore for Round 1, after their own four point deductions, and actually completed more formations within the working time of 35 seconds (52 - 51). The four infringements did not have much of an impact on the flow of the sequence for Rhythm, while Airspeed had to deal with additional delays due to the unexpected interruptions.... (more)

Did you know that Prison 9 posted a new 8-way team record average twice this year? posted: Oct 8th, 2023 The 8-way competition of the USPA Nationals 2023 was not much different on the top of the leaderboard as it was in 4-way Open. The U.S. national teams had no serious opponents, which is including XPG4 in 4-way Women. The winning margin for all three teams has never been of a similar dimension in U.S. history. XPG4 did not even have any opposition in the 4-way Women qualification event.
Arizona Airspeed's 8-way lineup have been winning the USPA silver medals every year since they gave up serious 8-way training and the 4-way lineups focused on their specific event after the USPA Nationals 2009.... (more)
Did you know that Round 10 was a jump-off for bronze medals in USPA Intermediate? posted: Oct 6th, 2023 It is nothing unusual that the AA/Intermediate Class competition at USPA Nationals features the tightest leaderboard of all categories in horizontal Formation Skydiving. It was once again the same situation in the 4-way Intermediate Class of this year's national championship at Skydive Paraclete XP.
There was hardly a position on the leaderboard that was not in contention throughout the ten rounds, and the teams usually enjoy the excitement of a competitive event, no matter whether it is in or near the medal positions or anywhere else. Especially USPA's Intermediate Class competition almost... (more)
Did you know that Papea missed the European bronze medals by six points? posted: Oct 5th, 2023 The series of national outdoor championships after the conclusion of the 23rd FAI World Cup of Formation Skydiving continued in Spain. It was the national team Papea who had to defend their national title a month after Round 10 at Skydive Voss in Norway.
The competition in Spain was a completely different story compared to the previous visit in Norway, where Papea had to work for their established Top 10 position. Papea were actually expected to be one of the top contenders for the 5th place, right behind the four medal contenders, as the latest NSL Power Rankings were showing on August 18th,... (more)
