Did you know that Teiwaz West was a Fun Team for A Day? posted: Feb 21st, 2011 The NSL News goes back once again to the Valentine's Meet 2011, which was the last competition with live coverage.
The X-Dogs from Brazil and Teiwaz missed the spots on the podium, however, they were a part of the AAA/Open Class competition in Eloy. Teiwaz is a team name that has been on many leaderboards, mostly on Florida Skydiving League events in the past years, but also at several USPA Nationals, including last year's at Skydive Chicago.
In fact, it was the second time at the Valentine's Meet that Teiwaz appeared on a west coast leaderboard. The first time was in Perris 2000 when the... (more)
Did you know that NSL-TV follows up with more videos of Becca's 3rd Bootie Boogie? posted: Feb 20th, 2011 The second report from Becca's Bootie Boogie in Sebastian shows videos of some of the jumps that were made on Saturday and of the different projects that were running at the same time.
Videographer Jorge Alfonso was filming the 4-way groups, had to turn in his videos of the 6-way jumps, so the 6-way competition could be judged, and eventually he also followed Lyle Presse with his 20-way jumps.
The video shows Ben Liston in a player coaching slot after he was done helping as a videographer. It also shows how Cherie Schuch explains to her 4-way team for the day how the exit formation will fly... (more)
Did you know that Becca's Bootie Boogie is in full swing? posted: Feb 19th, 2011 Becca's Bootie Boogie is in full swing. The NSL News visits at Skydive Sebastian today where beautiful Florida winter weather has welcomed the bootie and belly flyers.
Coaches and organizers reported that the first day of the boogie was very busy, as well, significantly busier compared to the first two events in 2009 and 2010. Becca Lynn's idea of attracting more skydivers back and new skydivers to Formation Skydiving and to casual competition or even hard-core 4-way or 8-way seems to be working well. The NSL gladly supports this campaign throughout the whole NSL Network, as recent coverage... (more)

Vadim Niyazov was filming the Sky... (more)
