Did you know that Elsinore launched a new 4-way season in Southern California and the Czech Republic a new windtunnel? posted: Apr 8th, 2011 The season opener of the Southern California Skydiving League was scheduled much earlier this year and went by almost unnoticed. That's not a big surprise since last weekend's full attention was focused on the World Challenge 2011.
Three teams competed at Skydive Elsinore and squeezed their names into the huge leaderboard of the biggest indoor competition in the world. All three teams can be found on the AA Class leaderboard or at the SCSL homepage.
There is actually a fourth team from California on the same leaderboard. The NSL News reported earlier that Perris Jimani made the trip to Bedford.... (more)
Did you know that only 4 of 40 teams came to Bedford with the same lineup? posted: Apr 7th, 2011 The Top 5 teams were untouched by the red CamScore markers on the scoresheets for Round 1. This changed in Round 2 when NMP-PCH Hayabusa (-1) and Arizona Airspeed (-2) suffered their first point deductions. Both had completed 26 points in working time, but Hayabusa shared the highscore for the round with Aerodyne Aerokart Maubeuge. The rankings after Round 2 was the only time when the French national team was in 2nd place at the World Challenge 2011.
SportsLotto, the promising new Russian lineup, lost another important point in the race for the 5th place with SDC Rhythm XP. The Russian team... (more)
Did you know that the Round 1 videos show a Thunder nightmare into the World Challenge 2011? posted: Apr 6th, 2011 The NSL News review of the World Challenge 2011 continues with the video coverage of the Top 10 teams in Bedford. It begins with Round 1, and the ten best teams are now under the microscope of the NSL News audience from the judging angle. The NSL News also added the point deductions, which were assigned by the judges in this round.
The German national team in the female category, ISB Air, with Gary Smith filling in for Sarah Hajooze, had a great start into the competition and kept up with Aerodyne Deep Blue Defenders and Thunder throughout the first day in the race for the Top 10.
This was... (more)
Did you know that Kinetix videos feature an extremely clean Irish winner team? posted: Apr 5th, 2011 The NSL News will still follow up on the World Challenge 2011 for quite a while since there are a lot of footage and topics that could not be used and covered during the event. It is challenging enough to keep up with the progression of the actual event when 63 teams complete ten rounds in two days.
The judging videos are now available, thanks to CamScore, and it will be most interesting to compare the two different views with each other. The NSL-TV camera captured the competition action from eye level in the flying chamber, while the judges are viewing the flying sessions from the videographer's... (more)
Did you know that NMP-PCH Hayabusa spoke with Joey Jones and the NSL News between Round 10 and the awards? posted: Apr 4th, 2011 The aftermath of the World Challenge 2011 begins on the very top, an interview with the winner, NMP-PCH Hayabusa, after the competition was completed and before the award ceremony at Bodyflight Bedford.
Joey Jones and the NSL News asked a few questions before the celebration of the probably most important victory for the Belgian national 4-way team began. Hayabusa won the competition by seven points over Arizona Airspeed with a 30.5 average.
The meet average in Bedford matches the scoring record of 30.5 for a 10-round meet that the French national 4-way team posted at the World Challenge... (more)
Did you know that the scores of Round 10 and a Freeflying update conclude the World Challenge 2011? posted: Apr 3rd, 2011 The World Challenge 2011 is over.
Round 10 did not change anything. NMP-PCH Hayabusa won the indoor competition, and SDC Rhythm XP defended the 5th place successfully.
Joey Jones and the NSL News spoke with Hayabusa after the last round and with Airspeed after the award ceremony. The videos of the conversations will be uploaded later.
Now it's time for the final update of the Freeflying competition, once again provided by Piers Hampson.
Day two kicks of with a bang as all the teams pull out all the stops with some of the cleanest flying we have seen so far in the competition. These... (more)
