Did you know that Joey Jones fixed the weather in Germany?
posted: Aug 1st, 2011 The NSL Talk with Joey Jones is next. He was studying the scoreboards at the World Cup 2011 when the NSL News found him. He seemed to like the meet setup, logistics and facilities that the German organizers have provided. This place is ready for a great meet. He only did not like the German weather so far and went the other direction in trying to beat the conditions. Most people here try to keep it quiet about the World Meet 2006 in Germany. Joey Jones thinks that everybody should talk about the weather to beat it. He was eventually right, as the weather turned out to be perfect in the afternoon... (more)

Did you know that NSL-TV takes the audience on a DZ sightseeing tour?
posted: Aug 1st, 2011 It's time for a little sightseeing tour for the NSL News audience who cannot enjoy the World Cup 2011 live at the competition site in Saarlouis-Duren. The video clip begins at the hotel where many of the participants are accommodated. It is actually a 10-minute walk through the wilderness from the dropzone to get to the hotel, and many take advantage of the short distance. Skydivers can see the hotel under open parachute, and hotel guests can look down at the landing action. The NSL-TV camera resumes the sightseeing tour at the dropzone. The NSL News shares the office space once again, and... (more)

Did you know that the NSL News now reports live from Saarlouis?
posted: Jul 31st, 2011 The NSL News has finally moved to the competition site of the World Cup 2011. It is time for the live coverage, and the first video has been uploaded. The clip begins with the most important person of the event. Helmut Bastuck, Managing Director of the German skydiving federation, is also the Chief of the Organizing Committee, and he has been a very busy man. The competition site is in great shape, and he is not responsible for the weather... He just came back from a live sports show on German television, which announced the event to the general public. His wife Franziska, also involved in... (more)

Did you know that the CISM scores allow a wild guess for the World Cup?
posted: Jul 31st, 2011 The rainiest summer in Germany, ever since archiving of weather data was started in 1945, continues to keep the skydivers on the ground in Merseburg. It's time to break camp in this part of Germany and move to sunnier areas. Saarlouis, hosting site of the World Cup 2011, seems to be a much better place for skydiving these days... It is getting dangerously close to the start of the competition on Tuesday morning, and the teams that have arrived are busy getting their warmup jumps out of the way. The NSL News will begin with the live coverage from Saarlouis at the end of the day or tomorrow morning. In... (more)

Did you know that a new Dennis Praet video features NMP-PCH Hayabusa's trip to Brazil?
posted: Jul 30th, 2011 The NSL News has featured video clips made by NMP-PCH Hayabusa member Dennis Praet in previous stories. The young Hayabusa Point showed his editing talent on NSL TV the first time after the Dubai Championship 2011. The story on 13 January 2011 included a video clip of Hayabusa's Dubai experience. The next piece provided footage of Hayabusa's visit at the Aerokart Indoor Championship 2011. Dennis Praet once again took the time to put together a new clip that features the recent Hayabusa trip to Brazil. The NSL News reported that the Belgian team won with a new 36.0 record average. Germany won... (more)

Did you know that Germany will erase memories of bad weather?
posted: Jul 30th, 2011 Good news and bad news from the NSL News trip to Germany. The weather in Berlin has not improved at all and interferes with the Go Jump 5-year anniversary summer boogie with the Pink Skyvan. The Berlin weather has also caught up with the area southwest of Germany's capital city, where the NSL Remscheid Cup was supposed to be held in Merseburg this weekend, together with the Antonov Boogie. It was apparently pure luck that the Antonov was able to make the two lifts yesterday evening. The expectations are very low in Merseburg for any jumps today. However, the skydivers and visitors who made it... (more)
