Did you know that Airspeed's 1997 - 2010 winning streak may be in jeopardy next year? posted: Sep 15th, 2010 The 4-way and 8-way meets at the USPA Nationals 2010 are over, and there were no serious upsets or big surprises in the Open Class category, not even in the Advanced or Intermediate Class of both events. It was still remarkable in the 8-way Open Class that Perris Moxie ended up two points ahead of Dallas Rogue.
However, the USPA Nationals 2010 brought big changes on the very top of the leaderboards in both events. The 4-way and 8-way competition in the USA may look very different from here on.
The NSL News mentioned earlier that Arizona Airspeed will not continue with the same 4-way lineup.... (more)
Did you know that the ESL Spirit returns to the same country for the first time in ESL Championship history? posted: Sep 14th, 2010 The 4-way and 8-way events at the USPA Nationals 2010 both came to conclusions early. The 4-way competition was on schedule and completed on Sunday afternoon. The 8-way teams were even faster and did all ten rounds in record time.
The nine Open Class teams completed the whole meet on one day, while the Intermediate Class teams had to show up for one or two more rounds this morning. Meet Director Coach Bill Wenger decided to push the pace since bad weather was looming ahead. The 16-way and 10-way events are still to come at Skydive Chicago.
The ESL Championship 2010 was concluded on Saturday... (more)
Did you know that the Golden Knights may win back USPA 8-way gold after 11 years? posted: Sep 13th, 2010 It was in September 1999, more than a decade ago, when the Golden Knights won their last gold medals at the USPA Nationals. Three hurricanes were lined up over the Atlantic Ocean to hit Florida and to make life miserable for the teams and competitors in Sebastian. The Golden Knights were best prepared and won by two points over Airspeed (213 - 211).
However, Arizona Airspeed had already taken over the 8-way competition in the USA after winning the USPA Nationals in 1998 and was the US national 8-way team for the World Meet 1999 in Australia. The USPA Nationals 1999 in Sebastian were scheduled... (more)
Did you know that NSL CamScore TV now features Airspeed's comeback in Round 5 and 6? posted: Sep 13th, 2010 Arizona Airspeed did it again at the USPA Nationals 2010. The downside of the meet in Round 3 and Round 4 was digested easily, and the rest of the 4-way Open Class competition was under Airspeed control. Perris Fury won Round 10 and had to settle with the 2nd place, which is the next step up after bronze medals last year. The Golden Knights Gold lineup won the bronze medals this year.
Carolina Turbo XP had a good battle with Fallout in the Advanced Class and won by six points after ten rounds. It is the first time that the same team with the same lineup won the Intermediate Class, stepped up... (more)
Did you know that the drama of Round 3 is now on NSL-TV? posted: Sep 12th, 2010 The NSL News promised the videos of Arizona Airspeed's and Perris Fury's Round 3 earlier today. The videos have been uploaded now and are ready for reviews. They don't show the cool CamScore features this time, as Jo Bell and Andrew Mansfield were so kind to quickly provide just a few video files without rendering them. NSL-TV will follow up later with the fully featured competition and judging videos.
The Round 3 videos of DeLand Shmeland XP and the Speedy Kids XP were added to this round of NSL-TV at the USPA Nationals 2010, as they were included in the package of CamScore video files. Both... (more)
Did you know that new NSL-TV videos feature the race for the 3rd place? posted: Sep 12th, 2010 The next NSL-TV videos feature the race for the Open Class bronze medals. The videos of the first three rounds show Golden Knights Gold, Paraclete XP4 and SDC Rhythm XP in a close competition. Golden Knights and XP4 were tied after two rounds, with Rhythm closely behind both teams.
The US Army team then created a 2-point lead in Round 3 and added a point in Round 5. Rhythm has now fallen behind. The Golden Knights have not only joined the race for the bronze medals. This strong lineup with the most experienced competitors of the 8-way team has become the top contender for the 3rd place.
