Did you know that teams from Carolina also had their season opener 12 years ago this weekend?
posted: May 10th, 2012 The NSL News used a calm day before the upcoming weekend's meet storm to go back in time and check out what happened at the same time of the year 12 years before the NSL website began to archive all information, which started in 2003. The NSL News update on 10 May 2000 was a look into the future of the newly created NSL-TV. (more)

Did you know that Carolina Turbo XP follows the SDC Rhythm XP trail?
posted: May 9th, 2012 Arizona Airspeed was the US national 4way team and represented the USA at the World Meets between 1995 and 2001, followed by Golden Knights (2003), DeLand Majik (2004) and DeLand Fire (2006), and has been the national team again since 2008. The NSL News had brought up the topic of a new generation of 4way teams in the USA a few times, and SDC Rhythm XP was usually the related topic. However, the NSL News has also mentioned a new 4way generation that is even a step behind Rhythm, and the related team name of this topic has been Carolina Turbo XP. The team's career began under VTSD in 2009, just... (more)

Did you know that Bodyflight Voluntas seems to be on track?
posted: May 8th, 2012 Bodyflight Voluntas, Denmark's national 4way team, was also one of the eleven teams who launched the 2012 season with the meet combination of Paraclete XP Outdoor Championship 2012 and World Challenge 2012. This double header as the season opener has become an annual tradition for Voluntas. The Danish national team has traveled from Denmark to Florida and then to Bedford each year since 2009. Kasper Brandt-Svanekier in the Point slot is now the only remaining original member of the 2009 lineup. He was also in the Voluntas lineup that set all the new national 4way records at the World Meet 2010... (more)

Did you know that Sweden's national team Bardagi had a late start this year?
posted: May 7th, 2012 The NSL News mentioned on 1 May 2012 that Polaris, Norway's national team in the female 4way category, has been the highest scoring team from Scandinavia so far this year. It was the same story that covered Satori's situation after competing at the Paraclete XP Outdoor Championship 2012 and the World Challenge 2012. Polaris coach Steve Hamilton, who is also an XL regular, was a part of this story after filling the Tail slot for Satori in DeLand. Steve Hamilton was a member of the last Sebastian XL lineup in 2003 and joins the annual XL reunions every year. However, his most important job in... (more)

Did you know that Russia and Airspeed both had a complete 8way makeover after the 2001 showdown?
posted: May 6th, 2012 The NSL News story on 27 April 2012 gave the impression that the 8way thriller between Arizona Airspeed and Russia at the World Meet 2001 in Spain was the ultimate showdown possible at a skydiving competition. The drama of the competition and the 1-point finish is hard to beat, but it was not the end of the 8way battle between USA and Russia. In fact, it continued exactly two years later, and it became even more exciting - if that was possible... Russia had won the 8way sword Excalibur for the first time in history, and Russia's 8way godfather Alexander Beloglazov would surely try to defend... (more)

Did you know that Little Big Cloud posted its first competition draw?
posted: May 5th, 2012 A new competition draw popped up on the front page today. It will disappear into the draw archives after the usual 24 hours where it will be stored forever. This competition draw is neither related to this weekend nor to next week, and it is a strange one, with only one round for each competition class. The new competition draw for the 1-round meet is not alone as a new feature on the NSL website. It comes along with a new league which runs under "Virtual" on the menu. The virtual league runs actually under "Little Cloud Skydiving", a 4way project that was launched by Northern Plains Skydiving... (more)
