Did you know that the promised videos feature Rounds 5 and 6 and Airspeed with a new NSL Talk? posted: Feb 12th, 2011 The official part of the Valentine's Meet 2011 is over. It's a 6-round meet usually, and the teams received their medals and gifts in all competition classes at the end of the day.
However, the AAA Class teams have already completed eight rounds, and two more are on the agenda tomorrow morning. The judges have not looked at Rounds 7 and 8 yet, and the NSL News had time to catch up with Arizona Airspeed's and France Aerodyne Maubeuge's videos of Rounds 5 and 6.
There is not a lot of time for editing more videos and uploading them, along with quick and short updates. It's a fast pace in Eloy,... (more)
Did you know that Airspeed is aiming at a new performance level? posted: Feb 12th, 2011 It is a 25.6 average after Round 5, and Arizona Airspeed's average will only go up in Round 6. It is not really a battle with Aerodyne Maubeuge any longer, the new Airspeed lineup is aiming at a new and unknown performance level.
The reigning 4-way world champions are not having the best competition in their career, as it is quite obvious. However, even the world champion lineup of 2010 may have been in trouble this time.
French coach Marin Ferre will remain the only person in Eloy who ever beat Airspeed on their home turf. He has a lot of work ahead to get the French national team ready... (more)

What a difference it is compared to the Valentine's Meet last year. The lowest participation in the history of the event sparked new efforts to bring the Valentine's Meet and the Arizona Skydiving League back to new life, and this year's results are impressive.
Airspeed veteran Mark Kirkby and Arizona Frenzy members Jocelyn Bernatchez and Ian Mackenzie have worked together and created Project Home Team, as the NSL News reported earlier. Six local and regional... (more)
