Did you know that CADO and Bodyflight Factum won two of the three skins last weekend? posted: Apr 26th, 2011 Not much more happened in Perris over the weekend. The weather did not allow the Norwegian A Class teams at the Viking Challenge to complete any more competition rounds, and the A Class leaderboard remained unchanged.
That's officially the same case for the AAA Class competition. However, Bodyflight Atlas, the B-Team of Denmark's national 4-way project, completed the missing five rounds on Monday and provided the NSL News with the scores, which have been added unofficially to the leaderboard.
Those numbers don't appear on any other leaderboard and are not calculated for any records in the... (more)
Did you know that last weekend's Scandinavian leaderboard is almost complete? posted: Apr 25th, 2011 Last weekend's Scandinavian leaderboard is almost complete. FAI Judge and Meet Director Jukka Olkkonen sent an update with the scores from Finland, while more scores from the Viking Challenge in Perris are still expected to be added.
Jukka Olkkonen reported bad luck with the logistics, which explains the low participation and scores for only two rounds. He said that the participation at the event was generally great and that the weather was perfect.
He added that the facilities in Jämijärvi, host of last weekend's event, are actually the best ones for skydiving in Finland. However, the... (more)
Did you know that Bardagi videographer Niklas Rodensjö delivers eye candy? posted: Apr 24th, 2011 The three Scandinavian teams at the International Bunny Meet were not the only ones competing this weekend. Three other teams from Norway and Bodyflight Atlas from Denmark attended the Viking Challenge in Perris. In fact, it was almost an exclusively Scandinavian affair, as Finland opened the 2011 season at the same time.
Germany's Final Four DeLand was the only team that is not from Scandinavia. This weekend's constellation is pure coincidence, as the hosts of those three meets scheduled their events independantly from each other.
The NSL News covered the DeLand event live at the competition... (more)
Did you know that the International Bunny Meet is in full swing? posted: Apr 23rd, 2011 The International Bunny Meet of the Florida Skydiving League is on its way in DeLand, and it features four teams from three different countries, Sweden (Bardagi, CADO), Germany (Final Four) and Denmark (Bodyflight Factum).
The name of the event is obviously related to the date of the event on the Easter weekend, and it expresses some hope at the same time that there might be a jackpot in the future, as the Shamrock Showdown has it in March every year. However, the Skins Game for other prizes takes place anyway.
The European teams have scheduled their training camps in DeLand around the Easter... (more)
Did you know that this weekend's meet brings back memories of 1998? posted: Apr 22nd, 2011 The upcoming competition in DeLand, the FSL International, features several teams who have recently been absolving their spring training. Two teams from Sweden, including top contender Bardagi, Bodyflight Atlas from Sweden and the German top team Final Four are eager to post some scores and show the results of the training efforts.
The NSL News was looking into archives, which are not in the current database that begins in 2003, to see what happened on the same weekend at the very beginnings of the National Skydiving League. The Florida Skydiving League held its 9th meet of the 1997/1998 season,... (more)
Did you know that the sequence of Round 10 was the ultimate Tail challenge? posted: Apr 21st, 2011 The Top 10 videos of Round 10 conclude this part of the aftermath of the World Challenge 2011.
It was another slow sequence, in fact the second slowest sequence of the competition, which followed the slowest one of Round 9. No changes were expected any longer for the money slots, and NMP-PCH Hayabusa pocketed the £5,000 for the 1st place easily. Arizona Airspeed won £3,000 and Aerodyne Aerokart Maubeuge took the £2,000 for the 3rd place. XL still got £1,000 for the 4th place.
However, there were still two open 1-point battles, as the NSL News reported yesterday: SDC Rhythm XP vs. SportsLotto... (more)
