Did you know that the NCSL Rookie Class teams experimented with lineups and slots? posted: Apr 30th, 2014 It's a fact now - the Northern California Skydiving League is back.
The Sun Path Products NSL News reported last year that plans were in the works to bring back 4way competition on a regular basis to the league that began their first activities in 2000. League director Lori Connor prepared her 4way community for the 2014 outdoor season with the Indoor Cloud League events at iFLY SF Bay throughout the winter. The story on 18 March 2014 followed up with a preview of the NCSL comeback this year.
The 2014 season opener took place last weekend at Skydive Lodi, and seven teams came out to post... (more)
Did you know that former videographers and freeflyers are now making a competition career with XP8? posted: Apr 30th, 2014 The Sun Path Products NSL News paid special attention to the impressive 8way performance of the international Volevobusa lineup at the Paraclete XP Indoor Championship 2014 with the story on 8 April 2014.
An earlier 8way summary on 6 March 2014 explained how impressive the scores of all 8way top teams were, especially the two US teams on the very top of the leaderboard, Golden Knights and Paraclete XP8.
The 30.7 average by the Golden Knights was the highest one in the history of the sport, and Paraclete XP8 was only 11 points behind. The same story provided a few details of the XP8 lineup... (more)
Did you know that Savolo is Voodoo's 4way successor for South Africa? posted: Apr 28th, 2014 The Sun Path Products NSL News reported on 17 March 2014 that South Africa has to look for a new national 4way team, as Voodoo will not represent the country any longer after 15 years on the international 4way stage.
The selection is now in full swing in South Africa where five teams compete for the national 4way title and the trip to the world meet in the Czech Republic in August. There is not much opposition for Savolo (Bailey Edmunds, Jnr, Alex Jordaan, Amy Kirtland, Andre van Heerden) who are far ahead of the other four teams after for completed rounds.
Savolo has also been on the national... (more)
Did you know that 4way competition on US Open Class top level has become a 3-team affair? posted: Apr 27th, 2014 Earlier updates by the Sun Path Products NSL News after major events have usually included evaluations of the best US teams on the top of the leaderboard, where Arizona Airspeed has been holding the number one position since 2007.
There have been several attempts of other US teams to de-throne the Arizona Airspeed world champions of 2008 and 2012, which have all failed ever since. Team Fastrax discontinued their Airspeed challenge after the USPA Nationals 2007. The Golden Knights dropped their 4way pursuit and focused on 8way in 2009. Perris Fury was done after the USPA Nationals 2011, and Paraclete... (more)
Did you know that 8way pickup team Voltevobusa had a wealth of 8way experience available? posted: Apr 25th, 2014 The Sun Path Products NSL News is going back once again to the 8way competition at the Paraclete XP Indoor Championship 2014.
It was necessary to correct a mistake that was recently brought up to the editor's attention. One of the 8way videos embedded in the story on 6 March 2014 did not really fit to the topic. The ten 8way rounds of the Golden Knights were supposed to be on the screen, while a US Army 4way lineup of many years ago was performing in the middle of the 8way story.
The Golden Knights followed up with the first outdoor scores of the year a week later at the Paraclete XP Outdoor... (more)
Did you know that the female way teams did better than ever at the World Challenge 2014? posted: Apr 24th, 2014 The AAA/Open Class leaderboard of the World Challenge 2014 was big enough and does not really need an extension. In fact, it was the biggest one in the history of the event.
However, it needs to be extended to accommodate the ten teams who competed in 4way Women with the same competition draw. It was also record participation in this category, which has now created the most gigantic record leaderboard including all teams who performed the same AAA Class competition draw.
There are many good reasons for showing the combined AAA Class leaderboard. One of them is the fact that the Aerodyne French... (more)
