posted: Dec 3rd, 2009 Last not least, there was also a AAA Class competition at the NSL Championship 2009. The PD Ninjas and a second Teiwaz lineup, Teiwaz Falcon, competed for the NSL Shugar Cup this year.

posted: Dec 1st, 2009 Paul Mayer, owner of Bodyflight Bedford and host of the annual World Challenge indoor competition, is a competitor himself. He is not on a 4-way team, and he does not compete in Freeflying at his events, however, he has a very competitve attitude in other important events.

Did you know that Russia may have a new world class 8-way team?
posted: Nov 30th, 2009 Exciting news came from Russia last week. The NSL News had raised the question already earlier this year whether Russia would recruit a strong 8-way lineup for the 2010 season. Russian teams have focused on the 4-way event in the past years and ever since Evolution Pro disbanded at the end of the 2006 season. There was not even a Russian 8-way team attending the World Championship of Formation Skydiving 2008 in France. The 8-way team at the FAI World Cup 2009 was a pickup team for the event, as the NSL News reported from the Czech Republic. (more)

Did you know that the first half went to Perris Jimani?
posted: Nov 28th, 2009 The SkyQuest 2009 coverage continues with the AA Class competition of the NSL Championship 2009. The Rookie Class competition between Team DiZaster and Relativity was already exciting enough. However, Perris Jimani and Teiwaz Eagle gave each other an even more exciting race. The two AA Class teams were separated by only two points after ten rounds. It was coincidence that Teiwaz had once again two lineups at this year's SkyQuest event, and that the lineups of the two teams made one fit for the AAA Class competition and the other one for the AA Class category. It turned out that the Teiwaz Eagle... (more)
