Did you know that there are only a few undefeated world champions? posted: Aug 9th, 2013 The last Arizona Airspeed lineup that won the gold medals at the Mondial Dubai 2012 trained and competed together only for two years.
Mark Kirkby, Thomas Hughes, Niklas Hemlin and Josh Hall, with Bill Schmitz on camera, never lost an outdoor competition in this 2-year period. NMP-PCH Hayabusa outscored Airspeed at the World Challenge and finished one single point behind in Dubai. That was close but not enough.
Niklas Hemlin, Josh Hall and Bill Schmitz then retired from Airspeed as undefeated 4way world champions. The Sun Path Products NSL News took a closer look at undefeated world champions... (more)

Did you know that UK's Rookie Class winner visited from Northern Ireland? posted: Aug 6th, 2013 The Sun Path Products NSL News coverage of last weekend's international events begins with the Rookie Class competition in the United Kingdom.

Did you know that skydive Suffolk is back hosting meets for the Virginia Parachute Council? posted: Aug 5th, 2013 It was in August 2006 when the Virginia Parachute Council held a 4way competition the last time at Skydive Suffolk.
