Did you know that that Black Cat and NMP PCH HayaBusa started at the same time? posted: Sep 8th, 2017 The meet videos of a very successful national delegation in Formation Skydiving at the FAI World Cup 2017 has still been missing. The NSL News is catching up now, starting with the Russian national team in 4-way Open, Black Cat, and Tanay, Russia's national 8-way team.
In fact, Russia was the only delegation that took home medals in all four Formation Skydiving events (4-way Open, 4-way Women, 4-way VFS, 8-way Open). Tanay (8-way silver), Bubble Trouble (4-way Women bronze) and Vertical Flystation (VFS bronze) won FAI World Cup medals, and Black Cat added a bronze medal for the 3rd place in... (more)
Did you know that Paraclete XP has moved dangerously close to iFLY Seattle on the ICL 14+ leaderboard? posted: Sep 6th, 2017 The Indoor Cloud League leaderboard for the month of August is complete. Six teams submitted scores and videos for the 14+ sequences, four additional teams took on the six sequences for the smaller wind tunnel chambers.
Paraclete XP won the 14+ competition for the second consecutive time on the 14+ leaderboard, and the Hurricane Factory has come under pressure month by month.
However, the Bad Boys defended the top position in the Open Class (AAA/AA) once again successfully, and the additional domestic pressure (HF Chicks, HF Flying Circus) is probably helpful. Fast4ward XP ended up one point... (more)
Did you know that RealFly-Sion is still the world's most improved top team? posted: Sep 6th, 2017 The 2017 season has been a good one for the French national team in 4-way Open, RealFly-Sion, so far.
The NSL News reported on 11 February 2017 that RealFly-Sion was the most improved team at the Wind Games 2017. They had outscored NMP PCH HayaBusa in two of the ten rounds and beat the 30.0 indoor benchmark for the first time.
Laurence Herve, Damien Gouriou, Kevin Mansion and Charles Rommel had to allow the French Weembi Girls to score and place higher at the French Indoor Nationals 2017 and the World Challenge 2017 while they began to focus more on the team's outdoor performance.

Did you know that WTL teams from Florida and Northern California staid away from each other in August? posted: Sep 4th, 2017 Teams and competitors of the Florida and the Northern California Skydiving League went indoor once again for a 6- and 10-round meet in August, while the Czech teams still focus exclusively on their outdoor performance during the summer season, except for the monthly Indoor Cloud League competition.
The August leaderboard of the World Tunnel League did not pitch any teams from the east and west coast of the U.S.A. directly against each other, as the Florida teams signed up for the AAA and AA sequences, while west coast teams competed in the A and Rookie categories. However, there was enough internal... (more)
Did you know that the British delegation is getting ready for the ESL Championship 2017? posted: Sep 4th, 2017 A very busy meet week has come to its conclusion. It included the national championships in the Czech Republic and the Netherlands, who used the same competition draw. They were also joined by teams in Texas at the Dallas Super Cup 2017.
Team Orange won in the Netherlands and is the new national 4-way team, as it could be expected.
The Bad Boys maintained the top position in the Czech Republic, while HF Flying Circus finished with a new team record average for a 10-round meet, despite a relatively slow competition draw.
Dutch Project 20+ team Out of the Blue improved the team record average,... (more)
Did you know that the new MicroClim8 lineup matched the team's previous record average? posted: Sep 2nd, 2017 The recent national championships in Great Britain and Germany included 8-way competition, and the defending champions (Microclim8 - Airbus) both defended their titles successfully.
Neither MicroClim8 nor Airbus were facing any serious challenges, even though two other British 8-way teams had recently competed at the FAI World Cup 2017.
Airbus had four of the five newly crowned 4-way champions in the 8-way lineup. Thomas Mack, Goran Meyer and Andreas Trogele (Video) had defended their previous 4-way titles successfully a few days earlier, together with the new Airbus members Markus Bastuck... (more)
