Did you know that the HF Cubs were back for the Hurricane Factory in August?
posted: Sep 9th, 2019 The outdoor summer season had its impact on the Czech Indoor Cloud League events at the Hurricane Factory, as well. Paraclete XP had missed a whole month in June, which increased the lead of the Czech teams significantly. The indoor activities were slower in the Czech Republic too, and Jan Klapka even missed a score for one of the Rookie Class categories last month. The NSL News reported Paraclete XP's strong comeback in July, and especially in August, on September 1st, and Paraclete XP actually reduced the distance to the Hurricane Factory by 43 points. The highscore for the month of August... (more)

Did you know that Airbus member Thomas Spielvogel won his next national title 31 years after his first one?
posted: Sep 8th, 2019 Oceanside AtomiX won the German Outdoor Nationals without too much trouble, even though Airbus Illertissen's 4-way team offered more opposition than expected. It still turned out to be a 9-point difference after Round 10. It was much more exciting right behind the two German 4-way top teams. Dark Energy had finished in 3rd place last year and had the same opponent for the same ranking spot, Bardarbunga 2.0 with one half of the Airbus Illertissen 8-way team. Both teams had different lineups in this year's battle. Airbus 8-way coach Marco Arrigo replaced Luc Vereecken for Dark Energy and was... (more)

posted: Sep 5th, 2019 A new NSL Profile has been published, and it features Arizona Airspeed's Niklas Hemlin.

He has been a professional and full-time skydiver for many years and has dedicated his whole life to the sport and to his family with four children.

Did you know that Alex Predinger was the most successful German Formation Skydiving competitor at the nationals?
posted: Sep 4th, 2019 As Oceanside AtomiX did in 4-way Open at the German Outdoor Nationals, the national 8-way team Airbus Illertissen mastered the qualification for the FAI World Meet 2020 easily. There was no serious competition for the national gold medals, and the 13.9 average was well above the required 12.9 for the qualification. Airbus Illertissen had to work much harder to qualify for Australia 2018. The 2017 lineup, winner of the national championship, did not continue, and the Airbus team had a completely new lineup for the 2018 season. The German federation scheduled a qualification event for July 2018,... (more)
