Did you know that the Airbus 8-way lineup won with three substitutes in Germany?
posted: Sep 17th, 2022 The 8-way competition at the German Outdoor Nationals was not completed this year. The six participating teams were stopped by bad weather after Round 8. It was the only outdoor competition that the German national Airbus team attended since last year's national championships, and before they may compete for bronze medals at the FAI Outdoor World Meet next month in Eloy. The 10-round averages that the Airbus 8-way lineups have finished with in the last decade have been in the range where the bronze medal scores are expected to be, and that could allow a new team to step up onto the FAI 8-way...

Did you know that Joey Jones and Gary Smith wrapped it up in the NSL Coaches Corner?
posted: Sep 15th, 2022 The 8-way teams did not complete all ten rounds on Tuesday, even though it came close. The 12 Open/Advanced Class teams completed nine rounds, and the Intermediate Class 8-way teams were done after Round 8. It has become crystal clear, and there is no doubt any longer, that Paraclete's XP8 lineup will have no opposition at the FAI Outdoor World Meet. The visiting Qatar Falcons were able to outscore all other U.S. 8-way teams, which is never guaranteed, while they ended up 50 points behind XP8. The Falcons' 17.2 average still indicates that they have a very realistic chance to win the FAI silver... (more)

Did you know that the SDC Rhebellion XP story had a happy ending?
posted: Sep 14th, 2022 SDC Rhebellion XP caught the attention of the NSL News the first time during a Rhythm indoor training camp at Paraclete XP. The story on 1 February 2021 introduced the three team members who were present at the time of the interview (Aga Horoszko, Kelsey Strock, Greg Bush). Eric Bambach was not available for the January camp at Paraclete XP. The complete lineup then attended their first 4-way competition a month later, the Paraclete XP Indoor Championship 2021, and they finished in 4th place. Team members participated at a few more Indoor Cloud League events of the ICL Midwest team before switching... (more)

Did you know that Arizona Airspeed prefer real combat over "shadown-boxing"?
posted: Sep 13th, 2022 It could be expected that Arizona Airspeed would not have much opposition in defending their 4-way Open Class title at the USPA Nationals. This will probably not change much before and at the FAI Outdoor World Meet next month, as the NSL News mentioned a few times. It was still an interesting topic for the latest NSL Live Talk with the U.S. 4-way champions. In fact, especially the situation without too much pressure for Arizona Airspeed on their home turf in Eloy was interesting enough to spend some time discussing the psychology of a competition without much opposition. Formation Skydiving... (more)

Did you know that Paraclete XP8 is on track to finishing with a historic meet average?
posted: Sep 13th, 2022 The 8-way competition of the USPA Nationals is in full swing, after two days of patiently waiting for Round 1. Meet Director Melissa Nelson is determined to complete as many rounds as possible, which could mean a total of all ten rounds on Tuesday. Similar to the 4-way Open Class competition, the field of 8-way teams at Skydive Chicago includes two medal contenders for the FAI Outdoor World Meet 2022. Paraclete XP8 and Qatar Falcons are very likely to take the two top spots in Eloy next month. It took only three rounds until it was also very clear that the U.S. 8-way world champions of 2021...

Did you know that NMP PCH HayaBusa meet videos have been added to the pre-world meet at the USPA Nationals?
posted: Sep 12th, 2022 The NSL News mentioned earlier that the meet management in Belgium had agreed to copy the AAA Class competition draw of the USPA Nationals 2022 for their own national championships. This special and unusual move allowed the two other national teams at Skydive Chicago, Arizona Airspeed and Qatar Tigers, to compare their scores directly with the still reigning NMP PCH HayaBusa 4-way world champions. Gerrit Tielens, team videographer for the Belgian silver medalists of 2022, Ayro, followed up with the competition videos of NMP PCH HayaBusa, which are now available for reviews. The other five Belgian... (more)
