Did you know that 45 minutes can make a big difference?
posted: Aug 9th, 2011 Almost 100 NSL judges made an on-line call for the 8way situation in Round 9 at the World Cup 2011. The majority (57%) thought that the last 7 seconds of the Golden Knights video have enough visibility to approve a scoring. 43% did not see enough of the formations and maneuvers. The ending on a sour note eventually turned into a happy end when French 4way and 8way member Emmanuel "Manu" Sarrazin posted a note in the poll's forum and acknowledged that the Golden Knights deserved the gold medals: "Hello, the GK was the fastest team in Round 9, their jump was more fluid and they had two more...

Did you know that Free Radical Miles Hubbard made his 15,000th skydive at the NPSL July meet?
posted: Aug 7th, 2011 The Northern Plains Skydiving League finally had good weather for a whole meet as teams and competitors returned to Westside Skydivers for the 3rd meet of the year. Many of the teams took advantage of a beautiful Friday evening and the Grand Caravan to get some practice jumps in. Most notably, Fourcast had a 33-point practice round. Was this possibly a sign that they would end HTH's long winning streak? NPSL Director Mike Betz reported from Westside Skydivers.

Did you know that the 8way competition ended on a sour note?
posted: Aug 7th, 2011 The 8way competition for the gold medals between Aerodyne Maubeuge and Golden Knights was the most contested event. Round 10 was supposed to be the Grande Finale of the whole World Cup 2011. It turned out differently. The weather did not cooperate any longer for the whole Saturday. The two missing 4way rounds were completed in the morning and before the weather situation began to deteriorate. It became quite obvious that Round 10 would not happen any longer when a big storm came in. In fact, the 8way teams just completed Round 9, literally by the second, as the Golden Knights had almost exactly... (more)

Did you know that the Brit Chicks have turned from red to black?
posted: Aug 6th, 2011 It is time to introduce the most popular team of the World Cup 2011 and the team that may even have most of the fun at the same time. Most likely, the Brit Chicks are the most popular team because they have so much fun. The NSL News had the Brit Chicks on the list for NSL Talk for a while, and the opportunity came up yesterday during one of the many weather delays. The lineup includes Jo Hawley who has provided the NSL News with updates from the United Kingdom on a regular basis. That alone was a good reason to hand over the lead of the conversation to her. Lesley Gale is the team captain... (more)

Did you know that NSL-TV features Round 7 of the two top teams in 8way?
posted: Aug 6th, 2011 The new video clip features the complete Round 7 of the two top teams in 8way, Aerodyne Maubeuge and Golden Knights. The video includes the competition jumps which are embedded at the proper spot, right after the teams boarded the plane and took off. Then it shows the landings and the first reactions, plus the live judging on DZ-TV while the crowd and the teams are watching. The Golden Knights obviously lost the 4-point lead in Round 7, but the damage of the day was not even complete yet. Aerodyne Maubeuge won another point in Round 8 and took the lead for the first time. It has been a French... (more)

Did you know that the 8way competition has a fresh start in Round 8?
posted: Aug 5th, 2011 The NSL News was prepared to cover a world record jump in 8way from all angles. The preview of Round 7 was posted earlier, with the comments by coaches and competitors. The NSL-TV camera picked it back up when the first announcements came for the Golden Knights and Aerodyne Maubeuge. Both teams met in their headquarters at Tent City to begin with their final preparations. Getting dressed, taking care of babies and moms, getting the last instructions, some warmup exercises took place before both teams headed to the hangar for creeping and dirtdives. Both teams were as well prepared as usual... (more)
