However, the three Lemay brothers (Martin, Vincent, Benoit) and Katie Woods still made their point very clearly in both events. They also took home $8,000 cash for the 3rd place in 4way Open and missed another $8,000 by four... (more)
Did you know that the new Evolution engine is running full steam in Singapore? posted: Dec 14th, 2012 The NSL News mentioned on 24 November 2012 that Arizona Airspeed's trip to Asia would not be over after the Mondial Dubai 2012.

Did you know that the Blue Rebels from Greece peaked at the right time? posted: Dec 13th, 2012 Today's NSL News topic is only indirectly related to the Mondial Dubai 2012. Earlier previews of the event included a closer look at the participation at World Championships of Formation Skydiving since 1985.

Did you know that Round 8 had the only 8way random sequence since 1995? posted: Dec 12th, 2012 The NSL News continues with the aftermath coverage of the Mondial Dubai 2012 and goes back to the 8way competition where the last video update was posted after Round 7.
The new videos of Round 8 feature once again the Top 6 teams who made the second cut after Round 9. Unfortunately, only the video of the Golden Knights is missing.

France was in the middle of a desperate hunt at this point in time. The French 4way team was already out of the... (more)
Did you know that Arizona Airspeed and NMP-PCH Hayabusa posted the highest world meet averages in history? posted: Dec 11th, 2012 The NSL News aftermath of the Mondial Dubai 2012 turns back to the 4way Open Class competition, which was the most exciting one of all four Formation Skydiving events. The amazing 1-point difference is the best evidence for this statement.
It is nothing new that the winner is only one single point ahead of the silver medalist in 4way. It happened in Maubeuge 2008 between Airspeed and France, and both nations were separated by only two points in Grenada 2001 and also in Lucenec 1995. There has never been a jump-off in 4way yet, and Airspeed Airspeed and NMP-PCH Hayabusa could not have been any... (more)
