Did you know that two more Czech 4-way juniors posted their first outdoor scores? posted: Aug 22nd, 2022 The Czech Open Outdoor Nationals 2022 brought together teams from three neighboring countries, the hosting nation, Slovakia and Hungary.

Prostejov had also hosted the FAI Outdoor World Cup 2009 and the FAI Outdoor World Cup 2012. None of the same three countries had participating teams at the same three FAI events.

Did you know that the French Tanay delegation deserved more credit for the double-silver? posted: Aug 19th, 2022 The recent NSL Live Talk with four members of the Paraclete XP8 team (Jeana Billings, Michelle Karamon, Kirk Verner, Craig Girard) was exclusively covering the upcoming 4-way/8-way double-duty challenge at this year's FAI World Championships of Formation Skydiving.
It is needless to point out once again how difficult it is to master this challenge, as the reigning XP8 world champions and other world class competitors in the past have tried to explain the enormous pressure that has to be dealt with at the same event.
The conversation went naturally back to the double-gold challenges in the... (more)
Did you know that the USPA Intermediate Class competition may offer more excitement than expected? posted: Aug 19th, 2022 The latest scores on the NSL leaderboard came from the August meet of the Midwest Skydiving League, where SDC Rhebellion XP posted their first results of the 2022 season. It has been a very different year for the Midwest team, compared to the 2021 season, when they attended a total of six meets.
It is exactly the same lineup (Aga Horoszko, Kelsey Strock, Eric Bambach, Greg Bush, Amanda Elkin on camera) who are coming back in the same slots as last year. It sounds like a great situation to pursue the goal that the team had set at the beginning of the year. SDC Rhebellion XP were planning to turn... (more)
Did you know that Craig Girard and Kirk Verner have double-duty experiences for Jeana Billings and Michelle Karamon? posted: Aug 16th, 2022 The latest NSL News visit at Skydive Paraclete XP happened when the XP8-way team had scheduled their next outdoor training camp. It did not start out perfectly due to the current weather situation in North Carolina, and the first training day had to be called after only two jumps in the morning.
The weather forecast was not much better for Tuesday, and XP8 took once again advantage of the proximity to Paraclete XP's 16-foot flying chamber. However, even the weather situation on Monday had its benefits, as the team members had enough time for other activities, including a new NSL Live Talk conversation.

Did you know that Dallas Dynasty members met SDC Rhebellion XP members on the ICL July leaderboard? posted: Aug 16th, 2022 The Indoor Cloud League team of iFLY Dallas is on the way to maintain the top position on the 2022 leaderboard. Kyle Hermberg's team took it after 12 consistent months in 2021, despite the difficulties caused by the corona virus crisis.
Hurricane Factory and Paraclete XP had complete sets of scores and videos for the first half of 2022, as well, before new troubles, this time on the political and economical side in the Czech Republic, interfered with Jan Klapka's Indoor Cloud League plans. Paraclete XP was 96 points behind iFLY Dallas (615 - 711) at half-time and had begun to reduce the difference... (more)
