Did you know that Gavroches and Golden Knights have something in commom? posted: Jan 25th, 2015 The situation right behind the two top teams at the Wind Games 2015 was very similar. Gavroches from France won clearly by seven points, although the extended leaderboard shows a different picture.
NMP-PCH Hayabusa still won the meet before and after penalties, while Thunder ISR actually completed more formations in the total working time than Gavroches. The nine point deductions were too much for Thunder to outscore their French rivals for the first time.
Both teams have met each other every year at the World Challenge since Thunder ISR first appeared on the 2011 leaderboard, and the French... (more)
Did you know that the current 4-way equation would result with Evolution in the top spot? posted: Jan 24th, 2015 The Wind Games 2015 are over after the completion of the second five rounds on Saturday, and NMP-PCH Hayabusa remains undefeated at indoor meets.
It was the second competition for new member Jeroen Nollet, who took the tail slot from Roy Janssen and had his first competition as a full member at the 5th Dubai International Parachuting Championship.
Hayabusa's new lineup had met Canada's bronze medalist of the World Meet 2014 in Prostejov, Evolution, at the 5th DIPC 2014 and had to accept the 2nd place behind the only team of the Top 3 in the world who continued with the same lineup. The new... (more)
Did you know that Sherri Jo Gallagher is the first female competitor in the Golden Knights 8-way lineup? posted: Jan 23rd, 2015 The recent Sun Path Products NSL News update from the Golden Knights headquarters on 21 January 2015 covered the situation of the US Army team in 4-way Women at the beginning of the 2015 season.
Sean Sweeney, team captain of the reigning 8-way world champions, now followed up with information of the second US national team that has represented the US Army at world meets since 2010 and won two consecutive gold medals in Dubai 2012 and Prostejov 2014.
Differently compared to the 4-way Women lineup, Sean Sweeney's 8-way team is facing personnel changes, which took place after the world meet... (more)
Did you know that Arizona Airspeed's Thomas Hughes will compete with a broken hand? posted: Jan 22nd, 2015 The teams are set for the Wind Games 2015, which begin tomorrow. The Sun Path Products NSL News story on 20 January 2015 provided a preview of the first showdown this year between NMP-PCH Hayabusa and Arizona Airspeed.
The Belgian indoor and outdoor world champions may have gained an advantage in the meantime that they did not desire to have. Arizona Airspeed's center outside Thomas Hughes broke his hand on Wednesday on the way to the wind tunnel in a bicycle crash. Airspeed completed the training session, however, a center outside with a broken hand will make it a very challenging competition.

Did you know that the Golden Knights have a much better start into the 2015 season? posted: Jan 21st, 2015 The "stop watch poll" did not attract as much attention by the audience compared to other previous topics, such as the discussion whether it makes sense to change Block 10 (Diamond - Bunyip) or not. The current results also somehow reflect that it does not seem to matter much how the winner will be determined in the tie-breaking rules and procedures.
It could make a difference though, as the competition in 4-way Women at the World Cup 2013 demonstrated. The Golden Knights ended up in 2nd place after a jump-off with another tie, even though they had the faster completion of the last scoring formation... (more)
