Did you know that Skydive Arizona welcomes 65 teams to the USPA Nationals 2011? posted: Oct 31st, 2011 The games may begin, everything is set for the USPA Nationals 2011, and the number of teams is as impressive as the NSL News expected and hoped for earlier. 65 teams are registered for the three USPA categories and stand for the highest participation since 2005. The 4way event in the USA continues with the upswing of the past years.
Bad news for the 4way teams in the United Kingdom who were confident to beat the US teams in participation at the national championships with their own very impressive record numbers this year. The 55 teams at the UK Nationals 2011 were still not enough, and they... (more)
Did you know that Gold and Red lineups compete with 4way world champions for Dubai? posted: Oct 30th, 2011 Arizona Airspeed's performance at the USPA Nationals 2011 is naturally one of the main topics. However, there is a lot of other information, an incredible amount of content and footage, that deserves attention and makes for many more stories. The NSL News will do its best to cover as much as possible.
The trip across the dropzone on Sunday afternoon had a few other stops, and two of them still went back to the Airspeed agenda. It had nothing to do with the current lineup and its pursuit of the top position in the world. Eliana Rodriguez and Craig Girard have already been there, last time in... (more)
Did you know that Airspeed's Sunday training started with a big boom? posted: Oct 30th, 2011 It's the day before the 4way competition will begin at the USPA Nationals 2011. The NSL-TV camera followed Arizona Airspeed on one of the few training jumps that the top contender did on Sunday afternoon.
The Airspeed coverage started with a big boom, literally. The team members were discussing the training activities when a deafening explosion interrupted the conversation, and debris was flying around outside of the team room. Airspeed took it with humor and made fun of the situation. Niklas Hemlin said that it was probably an attack planned by Aerodyne Aerokart and NMP-PCH Hayabusa, their... (more)
Did you know that three former USPA Advanced Class champions compete in the Open Class this year? posted: Oct 29th, 2011 Skydive Arizona was a very busy place on Saturday. It would not be a big surprise if the participation at the USPA Nationals 2011 gets close to previous record numbers. The number of teams in VFS 4way may indicate what to expect in 4way and 8way, as there were two more teams than last year. 53 teams competed in USPA's three categories in 2010, and 19 teams followed up in 8way.
There are several visiting teams from other countries, which will bring a real international atmosphere to this year's event. Former Airspeed 4way and 8way world champions Eliana Rodriguez and Craig Girard have brought... (more)
Did you know that not much will be the same at this year's USPA Nationals? posted: Oct 29th, 2011 The NSL News has now moved to Eloy, Arizona, where the live coverage of the USPA Nationals 2011 will begin later today after setting up the work station at Skydive Arizona. There are several visiting international teams that the NSL News will introduce soon.
The latest poll results are showing a different picture, as the three top contenders for the silver medal position (Paraclete XP4, Perris Fury, Golden Knights) have moved closer to each other. XP4 had this slot without much competition for a while, but Perris Fury and Golden Knights have caught up recently. SDC Rhythm XP is still in the... (more)
Did you know that Part 3 of the slow sequences features high scores in 2011? posted: Oct 28th, 2011 The NSL News is transitioning to Arizona today where the USPA Nationals 2011 begin this weekend. There is just enough time to finish up the recent special NSL-TV feature of the slowest sequences with the lowest scores of the best 4way teams in the world. Then it will be time for the next competition draw, which might even bring a few new 3-block sequences to the attention of the NSL News audience.
The first part of the special feature covered most of the major events between 2002 and 2008 where the best teams began to finish 10-round meets with scores of only 20 points and higher. DeLand Majik... (more)
