posted: Oct 6th, 2010 Die NSL News story on 4 August 2010 was still coming from Menzlinsk in Russia, as a part of the live coverage of the World Championship of Formation Skydiving 2010. The story included the first 8-way videos and featured Rounds 1 to 3 of the competition between the three top contenders, Aerodyne Cypres Maubeuge's 8-way lineup, the Golden Knights and Russia's Sky Panthers Barkli. Another story on 4 August 2010 followed up with the videos of Round 4. Then came a break, until the story on 10 August 2010 featured the 8-way videos of Round 10.

Did you know that the skydiving world suffers a great loss: Fiona McEachern?
posted: Oct 5th, 2010 The 25th of September was not a good day for the Formation Skydiving community. Sad news came from Australia.

The NSL News audience is familiar with Fiona McEachern's activities for the sport, as updates of rules and relevant information have been provided by her in the last decade. Many NSL News stories were based on information that came from Australia and directly from Fiona McEachern. Her competitive career began early, and she won a medal for Australia at the first female 4-way... (more)

Did you know that new NSL-TV CamScore videos feature several 8-way teams at the USPA Nationals 2010?
posted: Oct 4th, 2010 The NSL News followed the 8-way Open Class competition at the USPA Nationals 2010 with two stories. The first story on 13 September 2010 was posted after the 8-way teams had completed three rounds. The competition was still open at that time, even though it was almost impossible to imagine that Arizona Airspeed would be able to keep up with the Golden Knights. It happened though, as Airspeed needed Round 1 to warm up and then tied the Golden Knights scores in Round 2 and Round 3. Things seemed to settle as expected when the US Army team won Round 4 and Round 5 by three points each. However,... (more)

Thomas Hughes reported that his successful effort to get the flag, live during another NSL Talk session, did not give the US delegation possession for a very long... (more)

Did you know that DeLand Shmeland XP won this year's unofficial US amateur title?
posted: Sep 30th, 2010 The NSL News has covered the unofficial category of the "amateur teams" for a long time, as a part of the World Championships of Formation Skydiving as well as the USPA Nationals. There is no definition for this category, and it is impossible to draw a clear line between weekend amateur and real professional competitors. However, there is still a difference between the top teams and full time skydivers and the other passionate competitors who spend a lot of time and money to become as good as they can be according to their limited efforts. The NSL News has tried to honor those "amateur" teams... (more)
