Did you know that the Golden Knights put more pressure on Aerodyne Deep Blue Defenders than ever before? posted: Aug 28th, 2012 NMP-PCH Hayabusa lost two points in Round 3 and allowed SportLoto and Thunder once again to keep close in a round. It seems like Hayabusa has the same problem that Aerodyne Aerokart and Arizona Airspeed have mentioned earlier this year. It is difficult to get to the peak performance level if there is no pressure at all.
The situation is completely different in the female 4way category. The adjusted leaderboard, with the French team added to Golden Knights and Polaris, shows that Aerodyne Deep Blue Defenders is not only under pressure in Prostejov. The Golden Knights have caught up without a... (more)

Did you know that Skydivers had a diving competition on Friday? posted: Aug 27th, 2012 It seemed to be impossible that the weather could change so quickly overnight in Magdeburg after a perfect Thursday at SkyQuest Germany 2012. But it did, and there was no jumping all day long until shortly before sunset.
The participants had no problem killing the time though. Local skydivers were prepared to launch some fun acitivities, and one of them was a very special competition that was much related to skydiving.
It was a diving competition, and the NSL News had the camera ready when the action began. The rules required the divers to put on a gear, helmet and swim goggles, climb the... (more)
