Did you know that NMP-PCH Hayabusa videos show Dennis Praet in Dubai outdoor action?
posted: Jan 8th, 2011 It's time to catch up with videos of the leader after Round 2, NMP-PCH Hayabusa. The NSL News has introduced the new lineup with young Point Dennis Praet with earlier stories. The story on 2 December 2010 had covered the first indoor competition with the new lineup at the ISR Grand Prix 2010 where Hayabusa finished with a 32.9 average after seven rounds. The same story included a video of one indoor round with new team member Dennis Praet. It was the first time that the audience could see how he was flying his slot after a few months of training as a full member. It was impressive. The NSL... (more)

Did you know that Airspeed's video of Round 3 shows a 33-pointer?
posted: Jan 8th, 2011 Round 3 is in full swing at the Dubai Championship 2011, and Arizona Airspeed has already posted the video on You Tube, even though the scores have not been posted so far. Once again, the team was happy with the performance. NMP-PCH Hayabusa's Andy Grauwels posted a quick note for his team in the same round: "Round 3 was an average jump, and we counted 33 points, I guess they want to finish the next round also today, we are now waiting for that 15-minute call. Up next is Q 1 C 14." The NSL News counted 33 points in working time for Airspeed, as well. Nothing may change between the US and... (more)

Did you know that Russia has a few internal battles in Dubai?
posted: Jan 7th, 2011 As usual, the NSL News also looks across the pond and checks the other leaderboards. The field of competitors in Canopy Piloting always has several familiar names of the Formation Skydiving community. Shannon Pilcher, Ian Bobo, Jonathan Tagle, Pete Allum are just some examples of overlapping disciplines in the past. This time, there is a new competitor in both events who the NSL News has not paid much attention to in the past. Alexsander Golovkin's story is related to the three Russian teams in the Open Class competition. Black Cat, Russia's national champion of 2009 and silver medalist of... (more)

Did you know that the Russian Illusions are looking at $10,000 in reality?
posted: Jan 7th, 2011 The NSL News mentioned earlier today that the Russian lineups at the Dubai Championship 2011 will be introduced next. Three teams compete in the 4-way Open Class, one in the 4-way Female Class. The three Russian teams in the Open Class are all lined up behind the medal and money rankings and will not be able to finish as the Sky Panthers did at the World Championship of Formation Skydiving 2010. The Russian team in the female category, Illusions, however, seems to be safe in the bronze medal position. This is not a big surprise after taking a closer look at the lineup. There is a lot of talent... (more)

Did you know that Dennis Praet has come up quickly to full Hayabusa speed?
posted: Jan 7th, 2011 The first competition day is over at the Dubai Championship 2011. Unfortunately, the NSL News is not live on competition site, and the information trickles in very slowly from the place far away. CYPRES representative Rob Kendall is doing his best to get scores, photos and information, but at least for the official scores the whole audience on and off site depends on announcements and publications by the host. However, the scores of the first two rounds are now posted, and the competition in the Open Class is just as exciting as expected. Video clips and stories have not been overwhelming... (more)

Did you know that a Twin Otter will fly the 4-way teams in Dubai this year?
posted: Jan 6th, 2011 One more day before the first scores of the new competition season will be posted at the Dubai Championship 2011, and the numbers will most likely be on a higher level compared to last year. The competition will be easier for the teams this year for one very simple reason. The jump plane for the 4-way competition is a Twin Otter this time, which will make a world of a difference for the exit work. The audience may remember that the teams had to deal with a helicopter, a Bell 212, in January 2010. Some teams tried to launch the complete first formations of the sequences, some did not. Arizona... (more)
