Did you know that CYPRES inventor Helmut Cloth will help Rocketman Olav Zipser to be safe? posted: Dec 9th, 2012 Saturday at the Mondial Dubai 2012 did not have any competition action any longer, except an Accuracy jump-off in the morning, followed by the award ceremony.
However, the list of interesting topics is still very long, and the NSL News now picks up one that actually began on Friday when Felix Baumgartner visited Skydive Dubai. Two other celebrities in the skydiving world were at the competition site on Saturday, and the NSL News was able to meet with both at the same time and at the same place for a conversation about space travel.
Helmut Cloth is the inventor of the CYPRES and goes 26 years... (more)
Did you know that both Excalibur swords travel to the USA? posted: Dec 8th, 2012 The Mondial Dubai 2012 is slowly winding down. The award ceremony for the Formation Skydiving events took place on Friday evening. No nation was able to copy the French sweep of 2010.
The gold medals were evenly divided between the USA and France. Arizona Airspeed won the 4way Open Class competition and did not have a team from France next on the podium in the silver medal spot. NMP-PCH Hayabusa won the first silver medals for Belgium in this event. The Golden Knights won the gold medals in the second most traditional Formation Skydiving event, the 8way competition, and both Excalibur swords... (more)
Did you know that Felix Baumgartner is hoping for a trip to the moon? posted: Dec 7th, 2012 Regan Tetlow and Rob Kendall mentioned a visit by Felix Baumgartner at this morning's NSL News update from the Mondial Dubai 2012. It happened by coincidence for the NSL News that just an hour later all work in the media center was interrupted, as the famous high-altitude explorer indeed appeared right in front of the NSL Reality TV camera. The latest NSL News update in the works was postponed to capture the special event.
NSL News goal was to connect CYPRES inventor Helmut Cloth, who is also present in Dubai, and Felix Baumgartner at some point in time. There was no opportunity and no chance... (more)
Did you know that the Golden Knights won the 8way competition in Round 3 and Round 4? posted: Dec 7th, 2012 Today's Good Morning from Dubai show features Regan Tetlow and Ron Kendall both on the podium where the award ceremony will take place later today. Regan's work is pretty much over, and he uses the rest of the time to relax and enjoy being on the other side of the microphone.
He commented on how it felt to interview Dubai's Crown Prince a few days ago after a volleyball game. It was not a big deal to him, as His Highness is not behaving any differently than any other skydiver, he said. He dresses casually and behaves (almost)... the same way as all skydivers on and off the dropzone.

Did you know that the Aerodyne Deep Blue Defenders lived up to their team name? posted: Dec 6th, 2012 All events at the Mondial Dubai 2012 have been completed, and the NSL News aftermath begins right away. Actually, there are more events to come, which include tomorrow's award ceremony for the Formation Skydiving events and the closing festivities on Saturday.
The NSL News has not covered yet the final round action in the female 4way competition. It was not such a thriller any longer as in the 4way Open Class competition after the Aerodyne Deep Blue Defenders took the lead and the control over the competition with the Golden Knights in Round 8.
However, it was still exciting and very emotional... (more)
Did you know that Golden Knights and Aerodyne Maubeuge both improved the record average of 1997? posted: Dec 6th, 2012 The NSL News coverage of the Mondial Dubai 2012 continues with the 8way competition. The final stretch was almost as exciting as the last round in 4way Open, which was decided with the last formation of the 10-round meet. The 279th formation of the meet was literally the maker (Arizona Airspeed) or the breaker (NMP-PCH Hayabusa).
It was very unlikely that Round 10 in 8way would have an impact on the final outcome between Golden Knights and Aerodyne Maubeuge. The 4-point difference was too much distance between the two best 8way teams in the world and in history. Finally they tied their scores... (more)
