Did you know that 8-way videos show the Golden Knights from the judging angle? posted: Feb 10th, 2011 The NSL News story on 5 February 2011 covered the 8-way competition at the Paraclete XP Indoor Skydiving Championships 2011. The story included a video clip that showed some of the teams flying, with the up close and personal eye level view.
Performances of Paraclete XP8 and the Golden Knights were a part of this live coverage, followed by one of the French 8-way teams (French Connection) who were player coached by 2010 8-way world champions Martial Ferre and Damien Sorlin.

Did you know that the Perris Blitz lineup is complete? posted: Feb 9th, 2011 The NSL News reported on 7 December 2010 that Perris Fury had decided to extend the team project. Plan was to put together a second team with the goal of competing at a high level in the AAA/Open Class.
The same story had reported tryouts at Perris Valley Skydiving for the open slots. The first two committed members, Flemming Andersen and Kris Peterson, had already made the move to California to form the team and were looking for two more members and a videographer. The search is over now, Perris Blitz has been formed, and the training has started.
Kevin Dalton and Kjetil Nordin will be completing... (more)
Did you know that Katie Woods and SDC Rhythm XP go back to work this weekend? posted: Feb 8th, 2011 The Valentine's Meet 2011 is not the only event this upcoming weekend.

Two other events in Florida are not 4-way meets, however, they are supposed to bring the 4-way fun to skydivers on the grassroot level who may turn into more or less serious competitors later on.
Skydive University organizes a 4-Way Scrambles Skills Camp in DeLand, while SDC Rhythm XP members will be player coaches at the next Team For A Day in Sebastian. (more)
Did you know that NSL-TV presents Block 13 from the judging perspective? posted: Feb 7th, 2011 It's all been said and done, and most importantly shown, at the Paraclete XP Indoor Skydiving Championships 2011. Arizona Airspeed is as strong as most people expected the new lineup to be. It would be a surprise if the polls changed between now and the USPA Nationals 2011.
Paraclete XP4 finished in 2nd place, as the audience forecasted at the time of the meet. Perris Fury was not in 3rd place, and the Golden Knights took that slot. However, Fury's performance does not really count, as last year's USPA silver medalist competed with alternate John Hamilton in the Tail slot.
