Did you know that Aerodyne Aerokart will challenge the new Airspeed lineup at the Valentine's Meet 2011?
posted: Jan 24th, 2011 The NSL News has added another upcoming event to the 2011 calendar. The annual Valentine's Meet 2011 is scheduled for February 12 - 13 at Skydive Arizona in Eloy. The Valentine's Meet used to be the main event at the beginning of each competition season and has lost momentum in the past years. The participation last year was on the lowest level in the history of the event. Only four teams traveled to Arizona in February 2010. It will be better this year, there is no doubt, and it will be an international meet with teams from Brazil and France. It will be very exciting, as well, even if the participation... (more)

Did you know that the winning part is only a by-product for Kirk Verner?
posted: Jan 22nd, 2011 The NSL News wraps up the Paraclete XP4 coverage with the video of a new NSL Talk, which was recorded at the end of the XP4 day in Raeford. The complete lineup was sitting in the lobby of the windtunnel, and Paraclete owner Tim D'Annunzio introduced the team to open the show. This job as a host for the NSL Talk came unexpected and unannounced for him, and he took the surprising part like a pro. The fact that he was able to take the anchor slot without hesitation shows that he had experiences in this area. Tim D'Annunzio was running for Congress at last year's US elections. The hosting job... (more)

Did you know that NSL Reality TV follows up with the Paraclete XP4 indoor session?
posted: Jan 21st, 2011 The NSL News day with Paraclete XP4 continued yesterday, even though the live coverage was interrupted after the outdoor training. It's a long drive back to DeLand from Raeford, and there was only enough time to collect indoor footage and to spend a few minutes with the complete team for a new NSL Talk. The new NSL Reality TV video clip begins when XP4 landed after the last jump at the dropzone. Twelve jumps from 7,000 feet were in the bag, and it was time to make the short drive to the windtunnel. XP4 had only planned a half hour flying session, and the team decided to follow the training... (more)

Did you know that the next Paraclete XP4 update includes new-slot videos?
posted: Jan 20th, 2011 The next Paraclete XP4 update includes videos of the first four jumps today. They are not the very first ones with the new slots. John D'Annunzio said that his team had done a few training jumps at the end of the 2010 season. However, it surely is the beginning of this new XP4 phase. The first jumps are more than promising, as the videos show. Event the team members, including former 4-way and 8-way world champion Kirk Verner, seem to be more excited than ever. The potential to be in the mix for the USPA gold medals this year has apparently created additional motivation and energy. Kirk Verner... (more)

Did you know that the Paraclete XP4 Day is in full outdoor swing?
posted: Jan 20th, 2011 It is a cold morning at the Paraclete XP4 outdoor headquarters on the Raeford Parachute Center. It will be a significant difference as of weather and logistics for John Eagle who just returned from Dubai after competing with Arizona Airspeed at the Dubai Championship 2011. The NSL News is live on site in Raeford to spend a day with XP4, one of the 4-way top contenders in the USA this year. The NSL News is not only interested in the Dubai feedback that John Eagle will hopefully share later with the audience. XP4 goes into the second 4-way year with the same team members and is expected to compete... (more)

Did you know that the Dubai leaderboard was manipulated even more?
posted: Jan 20th, 2011 The NSL News added the score for SDC Rhythm XP's Round 8 to the manipulated leaderboard, which includes this week's ghost meet in Sebastian. The 22-pointer allowed Gradient Alpha to make up another point and catch Rhythm in the last round of the meet. The manipulation of the Dubai Championship 2011 leaderboard went a step further, and it now also includes the scores of the two best teams in the 4-way Female Class. It is not the first time that the NSL News has compared the scores of the Open Class and the Female Class directly with each other. It happened last time after the World Championship... (more)
