Did you know that SDC Rhythm XP might be much closer than expected to USPA medal positions? posted: Oct 21st, 2011 The USPA Nationals 2011 are only a week away, and the NSL News will focus more and more on the next major event of the 2011 season. Top subject is apparently not the question who will win the meet. However, there are more than enough other interesting aspects of the upcoming competition.
The NSL News took another closer look at the last results of the NSL Poll that is now looking more at the teams who will be in contention for the silver and bronze medals, as Arizona Airspeed seems to be the winner of the gold medals before the meet has even started. The latest results still show Paraclete XP4... (more)
Did you know that Thunder and DeLand Norgies compete for the unofficial amateur title at the Shamrock Showdown 2012? posted: Oct 20th, 2011 The NSL News explained with the coverage of the ESL Championship 2011 on 24 September 2011 that team Thunder was not really challenged enough at this event. The team's Center Outside Paul Hofstee said that his team was missing more pressure at the ESL Championship to be pushed to a higher performance level.
The same story included the ESL meet videos of Thunder and the team's meet agenda for the next competition season, which includes the Shamrock Showdown 2012. Thunder had hoped to get the opportunity of a direct competition with the unofficial amateur world champion from Germany, Paratec-Saar,... (more)
Did you know that Paratec-Saar won again with a fast sequence? posted: Oct 19th, 2011 The German national 4way team in the female category at the World Championship of Formation Skydiving 2010 had to take a break this year, as the NSL News reported several times. Pia Weingart (Center Inside), Anne Heinrich (Tail) and new member Petra van Overveld (Point) decided after Center Outside Sarah Hajooze's injury in March 2011 to wait for her recovery.
ISB Air of 2011 is now not too far away from a full comeback with the original lineup. In the meantime, Pia Weingart, Anne Heinrich and Petra van Overveld joined some other teams just for the German Nationals 2011, as the NSL News also... (more)
Did you know that Marin Ferre did not change anything to bring France back to the top? posted: Oct 18th, 2011 The NSL News is going back once again to the World Cup 2011. There was some unused and very interesting original footage in the NSL Reality TV archives that has not been published yet. It documents the last day of competition from several different angles.
Joey Jones and Marin Ferre, both 4way coaches for the two top teams Aerodyne Aerokart and NMP-PCH Hayabusa, started the Saturday for the NSL News with a new round of the popular NSL Coaching Corner. They did not have much to say about their own teams since the competition in the 4way Open Class was pretty much over as of the gold and silver... (more)
Did you know that Florida builds the 4way potential for the future? posted: Oct 17th, 2011 This year's 4way recruiting campaign in Florida begins to show results as the 2011 season is slowly fading out.
The hosting skydiving centers of the Florida Skydiving League and iFLY Orlando have supported the FSL efforts to bring 4way Formation Skydiving and competition to more skydivers in Florida. Experienced competitors and coaches have also helped out by providing their free expertise and knowledge.
Last weekend, several participants of the previous FSL Tunnel Kicker and 2on2 tunnel training events at iFLY Orlando also attended the October meet of the Florida Skydiving League in different... (more)
Did you know that the new USPA Open Class poll shows much better results? posted: Oct 16th, 2011 The NSL News realized quickly that the poll question that came with the story on 12 October 2011 was not realistic. Arizona Airspeed is the sole top contender for the gold medals at the USPA Nationals 2011, and the other four US top teams are only competing for silver and bronze. That is at least the situation that the audience expects to see at the end of the month.
The question needed to be asked in a different way, and the new results show more and better. The "other" four teams seem to be closer to Airspeed now, which still does not reflect the truth. Airspeed is still as far ahead as before... (more)
