Did you know that the official world record for a single round is still Airspeed's 59-pointer of 2017?
posted: Feb 23rd, 2023 The competition draw of the Paraclete XP Indoor Championship 2023 included a Super Sequence for the 4-way AAA Class teams in Round 4 (M,B,G,E,F) that was randomly drawn for the national indoor championships of the United States. The scores had no significant impact on the 4-way Open Class leaderboard, as most of the teams performed according to their ranking positions. Only XPG4 and Greenlight scored significantly higher than teams ahead of them in the rankings. The scores for a Super Sequence can have a much stronger impact, and the situation at the German Outdoor Nationals 2021 is probably... (more)

Did you know that XPG4, Greenlight and SNE Fly Girls are qualified for the next indoor world cup?
posted: Feb 22nd, 2023 The Paraclete XP Indoor Championship 2023 included once again the qualification of the U.S. teams for the Formation Skydiving delegation to the next FAI/ISC event in 2024, which will be a world cup. The indoor world championship is coming up this April in Slovakia. Arizona Airspeed and XPG4 qualified for this event at the Paraclete XP Indoor Championship 2022. The FAI/ISC indoor events do not include 8-way competition at this point in time, even though the sanctioning organization of Formation Skydiving competition has been working on dive pools and rules for 8-way teams, as the NSL News reported...

Did you know that the Qatar delegation is facing a very large obstacle on the way to the top?
posted: Feb 22nd, 2023 The coverage of the 4-way and 8-way teams from Qatar has increased in the past years, as the country on the Arabian Peninsula has consistently participated in international Formation Skydiving competition events and moved up from participation to becoming a powerhouse in the two most traditional events (4-way Open, 8-way Open). There has been no leaderboard at FAI World Championships of Formation Skydiving since 2018 without a team from Qatar in a medal position. Last year's world meet in Eloy featured the two national teams both on the FAI podium for the first time, Tigers in 4-way (3rd) and... (more)

Did you know that all historic 8-way records are now in jeopardy?
posted: Feb 20th, 2023 The NSL News introduced the new lineup of the U.S. national 8-way team, XP8, with the update on 2 December 2022 and followed up on February 1st, after a visit at Paraclete XP for the team's first indoor training camp. The 8-way competition at the Paraclete XP Indoor Championship would become the first competition of the new lineup, and the ten rounds were completed on Sunday early afternoon. XPGK, with three Golden Knights in the lineup, finished with a 31.3 average at their first meet. The results after the first ten competition rounds of the new lineup may have dampened instantly any potential... (more)

Did you know that Arizona Airspeed won with a more intuitive performance?
posted: Feb 20th, 2023 It was on Tuesday last week, four days before the start of the Paraclete XP Indoor Championship 2023, when the NSL News visited Skydive City on the last day of NMP PCH HayaBusa's recent outdoor training camp. The NSL News update from Zephyrhills included NSL Live Talk with the complete lineup. There was a 4-minute part of the video that had to be muted due to a copyright claim, caused by background music during the interview. The copyright claim was withdrawn after disputing it, and the complete interview is now available. Less than a week later, Arizona Airspeed won the national indoor championships... (more)

Did you know that 8-way teams train the new indoor dive pool during 8-way Hell Week at Paraclete XP?
posted: Feb 17th, 2023 The delegates of the world's participating countries in skydiving had their annual meeting in Malmo, Sweden, last month.
