Did you know that the 4-way competition in Russia is heating up? posted: May 3rd, 2010 The first scores from Russia's competition in Kolomna last weekend were already posted on Saturday. It took a little bit longer until the leaderboatd could be completed. Some vodka was flowing in Kolomna after the competition and delayed the flowing of information eventually...
However, the leaderboard is complete now, and additional information is available, too. It was a tough meet for Kaktus Hunter, the only Russian team that had also competed at the World Challenge 2010. Kaktus Hunter lost a total of 12 points in the judging room and had to accept that the experienced Ocean of Bees lineup... (more)
Did you know that Finland's Pro Team may join another battle in Russia? posted: May 3rd, 2010 The NSL News has covered the unofficial "Scandinavian Championship" on a regular basis in the past years. The Pro Team won this unofficial title for Finland the first time in 2009.
Indoor and outdoor meets were both considered to find the best Scandinavian team of the year.
The Pro Team confirmed the unofficial Scandinavian championship title at the World Cup 2009 when Finland was the only country that was represented by a Scandinavian team in the final round of the competition.
Norway (Nexus) and Sweden (Evolution) both had their national teams in Prostejov, as well. Denmark's national... (more)
Did you know that Round 10 of the World Challenge 2010 was a real showdown? posted: May 1st, 2010 It is time for the final round of the World Challenge 2010, which included all the drama that makes a great 4-way competition.
The only piece missing of the complete NSL News coverage is actually the judging perspective. The NSL News camera had followed the teams live into the flying chamber on Sunday afternoon, and the NSL News story on 4 April 2010 included a video of the Top 10 teams from the up close perspective.
It is very interesting to compare both angles with each other, as the videos from the judging perspective have been uploaded and are now available for reviews. In addition, the... (more)
Did you know that Rotor Out aims at the Top 10 at the World Meet in Russia? posted: Apr 30th, 2010 The NSL News story on 17 March 2010 covered the Australian Nationals 2010. Rotor Out defended the 2009 title successfully and will represent Australia this year at the World Championship of Formation Skydiving 2010.
The same story mentioned the possibility that Rotor Out's Center Outside, Jens Goennemann, might now compete against his former German 8-way team mates of FSC Eisenach. Markus Bastuck, Dieter Schwarz, Jörn and Max Thiele, with Alexander Hau on camera, are still and again the 4-way lineup for Germany at the World Meet in Russia.
Jens Goennemann competed for Germany in 4-way and... (more)
Did you know that the NSL News features XL live in a record NSL Talk show? posted: Apr 29th, 2010 XL has been a well known team name for almost 15 years now. It has changed its meaning though. It was standing for British world class 4-way training and competition and a serious commitment of the team members. The name still reflects world class 4-way competition and the XL members are still very committed to 4-way competition. However, the name XL now appears only once a year at the World Challenge 2010.
The NSL News has explained the history of the team and introduced the members of the last XL lineup in 2003 several times and has looked at the team from all kind of different angles. The... (more)
Did you know that the Georgia Skydiving League enjoys great support this year? posted: Apr 28th, 2010 The 2010 competition season began with several major events, which deserved and required a lot of attention by the NSL News. Other smaller events happened almost unnoticed, although those are the ones that have actually built the foundation of the national and international NSL Network.
One of the events earlier this year was the season opener of the Georgia Skydiving League at the beginning of April. Five teams competed in the AA Class at Skydive The Farm. This does not seem to be a lot, but it actually stands for a serious upswing in one of the oldest leagues in the USA.
The Georgia Skydiving... (more)
