Did you know that there are several races on the international leaderboard?
posted: Mar 18th, 2011 The videos of Round 2 have been uploaded, and the clip goes straight forward to the competition jumps of the three top contenders. Round 3 is complete, as well, and the videos will follow later. Arizona Airspeed has posted the highscores for each single round so far, and there does not seem to be much competition on the very top of the leaderboard. Airspeed was clean in Round 2 and Round 3, Aerodyne Aerokart Maubeuge lost a point with a bad video angle in Round 3. NMP-PCH Hayabusa lost a point in Round 3 due to an incomplete formation. There is even not too much competition between the three... (more)

Did you know that Arizona Airspeed came out of the gates like a race horse?
posted: Mar 18th, 2011 The Shamrock Showdown 2011 is in full swing. Round 2 has just been completed, and the teams get ready for Round 3. The scores have been posted timely and before the next round begins. CamScore, judges and manifest have been working as a solid unit so far. The first two rounds did not have very fast sequences, but the three top contenders had no problem beating the 20-point benchmark. The upcoming Round 3 is probably the slowest sequence of the competition. Arizona Airspeed came out of the gates like a race horse and left Aerodyne Aerokart Maubeuge and NMP-PCH Hayabusa in the dust in Round... (more)

Did you know that teams were creeping on a dance floor?
posted: Mar 18th, 2011 The training activities at Skydive DeLand slowed down towards the end of the day. Teams and staff took a break before the reception and competition draw for the Shamrock Showdown 2011, which was scheduled for 7 PM at the Clarion Hotel. New teams signed up and completed the paperwork. Black Cat arrived from Russia, and a young team from Georgia will compete with DeLand Cinco in the AA Class competition. STF VELO-X consists of Raud Guerra (Tail), Greg Siebe (Center Inside), Mike Talerico (Point), Nick Walker (Center Outside), with Dave Koons on camera. The opening ceremony in one of the conference...

Did you know that the new Shamrock preview video is for the Airspeed fans?
posted: Mar 17th, 2011 It's an Airspeed morning in DeLand. The last of the three top contenders for the Shamrock Showdown 2011 arrived this morning at the dropzone and did a few warmup jumps. The French Open Class team, Aerodyne Aerokart Maubeuge, took a day off before the start of the competition tomorrow morning, while Arizona Airspeed tested the more humid air over DeLand. Thomas Hughes mentioned that the Florida air feels wet compared to the air over Eloy. The NSL News created a video clip for the Airspeed fans and followed the team before and after the first training jump in DeLand. Airspeed will jump only... (more)

Did you know that Team 4 Speed XP does not compete this weekend?
posted: Mar 16th, 2011 The next preview video clip of the Shamrock Showdown 2011 begins once again with the new arrivals in DeLand. Another French 4-way team joined the training activities today. However, this team will not compete at the Shamrock, even though the NSL News suggested this experiment. Team 4 Speed XP is the French national 4-way team in Vertical Formation Skydiving. The NSL News met the team last time at the Paraclete XP Indoor Skydiving Championships 2011, as the story on 7 March 2011 reported. The French team, world champions of 2010, had an exciting 1-point race with SDC Standard at Paraclete... (more)

Did you know that Germany's ISB Air had bad luck on a day off in Orlando?
posted: Mar 15th, 2011 It was the last day off for several teams today before the start of the Shamrock Showdown 2011 on Friday morning. Some teams enjoyed the day off at the dropzone and even continued jumping (Fast Air), others visited Orlando (NMP-PCH Hayabusa, ISB Air) or other locations in the area. The trip of the German team to Orlando turned out to end with a very unfortunate accident. Center Outside Sarah Hajooze injured her back and knee seriously when she slipped and fell during the off day. Sad news for the team that was ready to challenge the French Deep Blue Defenders in DeLand. It was once again... (more)
