Did you know that Round 8 was the cleanest one for the Top 10 teams at the World Challenge 2011?
posted: Apr 19th, 2011 Back to the World Challenge 2011 where it is time for the Top 10 videos of Round 8. The adjusted leaderboard with the marks and numbers for the point deductions is the same as it was after Round 7. This is not a mistake, the Top 10 teams did not have any infringements marked on their score sheets. It was the cleanest round of the meet so far. Once again, it did not change much in the Top 10 rankings. NMP-PCH Hayabusa and Arizona Airspeed neutralized each other. Aerodyne Aerokart Maubeuge secured the 3rd place, and SportsLotto got a little bit closer to SDC Rhythm XP, while NPC Aerokart Maubeuge... (more)

Did you know that Andrey Veselov, Gustavo Cabana and Willy Boeykens present the Phoenix videos?
posted: Apr 18th, 2011 The NSL News has covered the "Flight of the Phoenix" for a few days, and yesterday's update mentioned a follow-up story with the footage of the successful grande finale on Sunday late afternoon. Fortunately, videographer Andrey Veselov was still in town on Monday and provided the video footage for a complete coverage from three different angles. His fellow freefall artists Gustavo Cabana and Willy Boeykens were filming the completed 185-way, as well. Andrey Veselov is presenting the mythical bird, which never dies and is usually a fire spirit with a colorful plumage and a tail of gold and... (more)

Did you know that the Flight of the Phoenix ended up successfully?
posted: Apr 17th, 2011 The NSL News story on 15 April 2011 promised an update of the "Flight of the Phoenix" on Sunday after the first attempts were covered on Friday. Not much happened on Saturday, as the weather did not cooperate very well. The 192 big-way fans from many different countries made only two jumps. However, those attempts were promising. The Phoenix was not completed by then, and the project continued on Sunday. The weather was perfect today, and the stage was set for a successful big-way day, while several 4-way teams tried to get their own training jumps in. The cooperation worked well enough,... (more)

Did you know that even a simple sequence had different engineerings?
posted: Apr 16th, 2011 Back to the World Challenge 2011 and the Round 7 videos of the Top 10 teams. Aerodyne Aerokart Maubeuge posted the second consecutive sole highscore on Sunday's second round, beat XL by three points and was now two points ahead in 3rd place. Arizona Airspeed and NMP-PCH Hayabusa both completed 28 points in time, and Airspeed lost a point in the judging room. Nothing exciting on the very top of the leaderboard, and that's the way it would be for the remainder of the competition. It was still interesting to compare the style and the engineering of the top teams. There was hardly a round where... (more)

Did you know that a Phoenix may fly over DeLand this weekend?
posted: Apr 15th, 2011 The NSL News reported on 26 March 2011 how two big-way groups prepare for building a new large formation 500-way world record, BJ Worth with his World Team and Dan BC with the Dubai 500 team. Both groups run their own big-way camps and events to get the big-way fans ready for their 500-way attempts. Dan BC's P3 Qualifying Events and BJ Worth's World Team Prep Events will keep the big-way fans busy in the runup to the 500-ways. One of the World Team events is currently happening in DeLand, and the NSL News took a short break from the World Challenge 2011 aftermath. A quick trip to the dropzone... (more)
