Did you know that Deb Correia calls the Northwest Skydiving League community back to action? posted: May 16th, 2012 The Northwest Skydiving League was one of the first leagues that joined Florida, Georgia and Texas (1998) for the National Skydiving League and was launched by Art Bori in 2000. Harry Waller continued and directed the NWSL activities when Art Bori stepped back in 2003.
Deb Correia, who trained and competed with Elsinore Vengeance in 2004 and 2005, has been supporting 4way in the northwest region of the USA ever since, whether she was competing herself or not. The NWSL lost momentum over the years and had its last active season in 2007 when Overcast was the last and only NWSL 4way team.

Did you know that the Qatar Knights missed the first 8way showdown with Dubai at the Paraclete XP Outdoor Championship? posted: May 15th, 2012 The NSL News story on 13 January 2012 announced that the Paraclete XP Outdoor Championship 2012 would feature the first Arabian 8way competition.
The Qatar Knights had completed their first 8way competition at the USPA Nationals 2011, while former Airspeed 8way world champions Eliana Rodriguez and Craig Girard were making plans to add 8way competition to their Dubai project.
The NSL News covered the 4way competition between Qatar and Dubai at the USPA Nationals 2011 comprehensively, and in January 2012 it seemed like this new regional rivaly in the Mideast would be extended to 8way and be... (more)
Did you know that Cross Keys teams have joined the UK leaderboard? posted: May 15th, 2012 The teams from the United Kingdom have some company now on the overall leaderboard where the scores of three teams from the MidAtlantic Skydiving League have been added. More US scores will shake up the leaderboard as soon as the results from Carolina will be posted. CASL Director Andy Honigbaum said that he had 13 teams at the 2012 season opener last weekend.

Did you know that the host of the ESL Championship 2012 offers an 8way competition before Dubai 2012? posted: May 14th, 2012 The 2012 Formation Skydiving competition season is once again loaded with events, and it includes a meet situation that is quite unusual. The NSL News can recall only one time that the International Parachuting Commission (IPC) scheduled a World Cup and a World Championship for the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI) in the same year.
That happened in 2006 when the World Meet took place in Germany (6 - 10 August) and the Malevsky Cup (14 - 18 August) was scheduled right after it. It was the one and only time that the Malevsky Cup was officially a World Cup at the same time. The Malevsky... (more)
Did you know that twelve teams launched the 2012 outdoor season in the United Kingdom? posted: May 12th, 2012 The first scores of the weekend are posted, and they come from the United Kingdom where twelve 4way teams opened the 2012 outdoor season in Peterlee.
Kryos was the only team in the AAA Class competition and started the 2012 outdoor season almost on the same scoring level as last year. There was a significant difference though, as Kryos has stepped up from the AA Class and is dealing with the IPC Open Class dive pool now.
Kryos competed in the AAA Class for the first time at the World Challenge 2012 where five of the ten rounds had slot switchers, either in the front or in the rear piece.... (more)
Did you know that the DeLand skydiving industry presented to the Chamber of Commerce? posted: May 11th, 2012 An interesting event took place yesterday in DeLand. It was not really a skydiving event, even though it was directly and strongly related to the sport.
The DeLand Chamber of Commerce had a business meeting, and the representatives of the local skydiving industry were invited to present their strong business community to city officials and other business owners.
Host was the DeLand Clarion Hotel, and it was not the first time that the conference rooms were used for skydiving events. In fact, it was not too long ago that the opening ceremony of the Paraclete XP Outdoor Championship 2012 was... (more)
