Did you know that Midwest and Czech Republic were far in distance but close in weather?
posted: May 29th, 2013 Last weekend's leaderboard is complete and shows that bad weather had a serious impact at all three locations (Midwest, Northern Plains, Czech Republic). Chicagoland Skydiving Center and Pribram in the Czech Republic are very far away from each other and still had both only two complete rounds. The situation in the Midwest was even worse, as only two teams had 35 seconds of working time in the whole meet (Round 2 in the AA Class). All other jumps were made from reduced altitude, and the scores have been extrapolated from 20/25 seconds to 35 seconds.May 25th, 2013Round 1Round 2Round 3Round... (more)

Did you know that last weekend's draw was a tough start into the AAA Class?
posted: May 28th, 2013 The Northern Plains Skydiving League launched its 2013 season with five teams at Skydive Twin Cities. The weather did not allow the completion of all six planned rounds, except for one team. The Honey Badgers managed to go through all six Rookie Class sequences. Two of the five teams came back from previous NPSL seasons, while the three new teams included two Rookie Class lineups. Those Guys showed up for the first time at the last NPSL meet of the 2011 season and then missed only one of the four meets last year. (more)

Did you know that Czech team Zoonte attended two meets in two categories within a week?
posted: May 27th, 2013 The Czech Republic held two 4way meets within a week. The NSL News reported on 12 January 2013 that Prostejov has joined the Czech Republic Skydiving League as a host, and the first meet took place on May 18th. By then, the IPC (International Parachuting Commission) had not decided which skydiving center would host the World Championship of Formation Skydiving 2014. The NSL News followed up when this decision was made and reported on 15 February 2013 that Prostejov won the bidding process. Prostejov's owner Martin Dlouhy has hosted two world cups (2009, 2012) and has now been rewarded for... (more)

Did you know that Arizona Airspeed has won five 4way gold medals in 20 years?

Did you know that the Tomscat Trophy connects DeLand Slide with Dutch teams?
posted: May 25th, 2013 The outdoor season opener for the teams in the Netherlands is coming up in less than three weeks, the Tomscat Trophy 2013. The event is related to the same traumatic plane crash in Perris in 1992 that caused the death of Dan BC's team mate James Lane, who is also Caroline Layne's brother. The NSL News reported on 29 April 2013 that Caroline Layne has now picked up 4way competition with DeLand Slide. The Tomscat Trophy was created to commemorate two members of the Dutch 4way team Tomscat, Remie Herder and Sjaak Strating, who lost their lives in the same plane chrash. The two surviving Tomscat...
