Both teams completed the desired amount of training jumps before the Shamrock Showdown 2023, where they could measure their outdoor starting position at the beginning of the world championship season.
The NSL News reported the bad luck of Aethers with the Shamrock preview on March 12th. Outside center Tom Mattoni broke a few bones of his right foot at an out-landing on the first training jump in the morning. He traveled... (more)
Did you know that Qatar Lions and NOT NFTO took the top spots on the German 4-way leaderboard? posted: Mar 24th, 2024 The NSL News coverage of the German Indoor Nationals 2024 began with the 8-way competition, which is unusual. Horizontal 4-way Formation Skydiving competition is the most popular event in the sport, and it regularly offers more content and exciting stories. Naturally, it has most often priority in NSL News event coverage.
However, the exciting 8-way duel between Operation Adler and the Airbus 8-way team, which has caught the attention of the NSL News several times, took the front page once again at the country's national indoor championship. It was not easy to put the 4-way battle between the... (more)
Did you know that Thyra went from 9.7 on Friday to 15.6 on Saturday? posted: Mar 22nd, 2024 The NSL News has followed the development of the new Norwegian national team in 4-way Women, Thyra, since the current team members were selected to participate in Carl-Erik Tuv's 4-way project FS2020/2022/2024 that the original DeLand Norgies member started four years ago.
Carl-Erik Tuv did not only initiate the 4-way project with support of members of the Norwegian skydiving federation. He has also been available whenever the two new national teams, Agera in 4-way Open and Thyra in 4-way Women, needed very practical help beyond coaching and administration.
He was in the tail slot for Agera... (more)
Did you know that Realfly Fire and Airdrops won in Switzerland? posted: Mar 22nd, 2024 The aftermath of the Shamrock Showdown 2024 will still continue for a while, and the NSL News will also try to catch up with other events that happened in the meantime.
Even though the outdoor event at Skydive DeLand in Florida was once again featuring world class competition, including the currently two best 4-way teams in the world and FAI medal winners in 4-way Women, there was not too much suspense on the leaderboard, as the teams maintained respectful distances between each other. It was the Skins Game of the Shamrock Showdown that still generated more than enough excitement round by round,... (more)
Did you know that Arizona Airspeed were on 58-point pace in 2020 and 2024? posted: Mar 20th, 2024 Arizona Airspeed added the next set of ten competition rounds to their collection of highscores for single rounds. No team could tie their scores at any time during the Shamrock Showdown 2024, and the record number has gone up to 117, opposed to three lost rounds since February 2022.
Not even the French national team in 4-way Open, Aethers, could threaten the reigning 4-way world champions in horizontal Formation Skydiving competition. Aethers were expected to challenge Airspeed round by round, which became impossible when team member Tom Mattoni had to step out after an injury during the training... (more)
Did you know that Skywalkers Junior and HF Chameleons slowed down this month? posted: Mar 19th, 2024 The March meet of the Czech Tunnel League had a very similar outcome compared to the February meet, where four very strong Czech AAA Class teams, mostly current and former 4-way juniors, separated themselves from the rest of the field to challenge each other.
However, there was still a significant difference between the two leaderboards. The same four teams were separated by only nine points in February, while Crazy Dragons now finished 30 points ahead of the team in 4th place with a new 24.8 team record average.
Skywalkers Junior, HF Chameleons and HF Cubs all finished well below their previous... (more)
