Did you know that Voodoo wins again in South Africa?
posted: Apr 28th, 2012 Fast forward by a little over a decade, from the World Meet 2001 and Russia's first 8way gold medals to the South African Nationals 2012, which are currently in full swing, and where Voodoo will have no dramatic experience to win.

Did you know that this is not THEIR competition - it is OUR competition?
posted: Apr 27th, 2012 It is time to continue with the coverage of the Russia 8way history that the NSL News began on 5 May 2012. The visit of the Russian 8way team Sky Panthers Barkli at the Paraclete XP Outdoor Championship 2012 had sparked the new topic, as several former 8way world champions are still active team members.

Did you know that the NSL News overlooked the French double gold attempt in 2008?
posted: Apr 26th, 2012 The NSL News has covered the biggest challenge in Formation Skydiving competition quite a few times in the past, the pursuit of winning gold medals in 4way and in 8way at the same World Championship of Formation Skydiving. No complete 4way lineup has ever achieved this, and only one single competitor can claim this unique accomplishment: Mathieu Bernier from France in Menzelinsk 2010. This is nothing new, as the NSL News has covered the topic from almost all angles. However, there was one missing piece in the coverage of the double gold history. The latest story on 1 April 2012 was also the... (more)
