Did you know that Caroline Layne picks up 4way where her brother James left it in 1992?
posted: Apr 29th, 2013 "David Layne was an old friend of Jim West's from England who had moved to Xenia a few years earlier with his wife Rira, eight-year-old son James, and six-year-old daughter Carolina. The Layne family had been a presence on the drop zone for a few years before I actually took it over. The Greene County Sport Parachute Club was a family business with a club atmosphere back then, and like other members of the "club", the Laynes contributed to keeping the place moving." "I had become very close with Rita, David, and their kids. Once i started running it, the drop zone became the Green County Skydiving... (more)

Did you know that SDC Rhythm XP had a strong showing at the World Challenge 2013?
posted: Apr 28th, 2013 The NSL News continues with the video coverage of the Top 10 at the World Challenge 2013 and now features SDC Rhythm XP from the judging perspective. It was Rhythm's fourth trip to Bedford where Janette and Steve Lefkowitz competed with Thiago Muradas and Rob Radez for the first time in 2010. Rhythm made it to the Top 10 at the first visit and finished with a 25.3 average, boosted by the traditional Super Sequence at that time. Rhythm was back next year with the same lineup and finished in 5th place with a 25.7 average at the World Challenge 2011. It was the last event with a Super Sequence... (more)

Did you know that the World Challenge 2013 was also a Finland 4way Fest?
posted: Apr 27th, 2013 Finland has participated in the international NSL Network for many years. The Scandinavian country with a long winter and a short summer has a very small skydiving community, even though the Helsinki Parachuting Club is one of the biggest in the world. There is a simple reason for that. Helsinki is the country's capital city, and roughly 25% of the population live in or around Helsinki. Rovaniemi is approx. 560 miles (900 kilometers) north of Helsinki, and the winters are even much longer right at the polar circle. On the other hand, it hardly gets dark at night at all for a few weeks in the... (more)

Did you know that the weather in North Carolina was not better than in Florida?
posted: Apr 26th, 2013 Last weekend's weather was not much better in the Carolinas than it was in Florida. The same weather front kept teams and competitors away from the meet locations and made it difficult for any present teams to get in the air. Carolina Skydiving League director Laura Dickmeyer, Golden Knights member and silver medalist in the female 4way category of the Mondial Dubai 2012, reported that the winds were too unpredictable, and the meet was called early. However, TSC Vertigo had scheduled an 8way training camp for the same weekend and were one of the four teams who visited the Raeford Parachute... (more)

posted: Apr 25th, 2013 The Paraclete XP Outdoor Championship 2013 included an AA Class competition, as well. Three teams signed up for this category and had a great competition over six rounds.

posted: Apr 24th, 2013 The NSL News reported on 14 February 2013 that Thunder and SportLoto will continue their own race for the unofficial title of the best amateur team in the world this year. The race had a good start when Thunder competed at the Aerokart Indoor Championship 2013 at the end of February and SportLoto followed up at the Freezone Indoor Championship 2013 at the beginning of March. The scores were very close by then, even though both teams competed at different places and with different competition draws. Thunder then competed at the Paraclete XP Outdoor Championship, while SportLoto was preparing... (more)
