Did you know that the Valentine's Meet sequences have been a tough challenge for Airspeed? posted: Feb 6th, 2010 It has been a while since the NSL News visited Skydive Arizona the last time to cover each year's first meet of the competition season, the traditional annual Valentine's Meet. Actually, the Valentine's Meet 2010 is not the first competition of the new season, as the Dubai Championship was already completed at the beginning of January.
Arizona Airspeed made the trip to Dubai in January and won after another impressive performance. It was the 21st consecutive victory for the current Airspeed lineup (Eliana Rodriguez - Point, Craig Girard - Center Outside, Andy Delk - Center Inside, Mark Kirkby... (more)
Did you know that China's coach challenged the US 4-way team at the World Meet in 1989? posted: Feb 5th, 2010 The NSL News story on 19 January 2010, which covered the Dynamic Fource training camp in DeLand, mentioned that the video clip of the ground activities was also showing a 4-way team from China. The NSL News promised to go back to skydiving in China later on.
The collection of information and footage of the Chinese teams took some time and accumulated to such an amount that it needs to be split up into different segments to cover the complete story. Today's story goes back in time and to previous events.
The teams that competed at the May meet of the Southern California Skydiving League in... (more)
Did you know that 4XTT comes back with the same Belgian/Dutch lineup as in 2009? posted: Feb 4th, 2010 The NSL News story on 29 January 2010 introduced Dynamic Fource member Paul Hofstee's second team project this year, player coach team Skytrax. The same story mentioned that this was still not all for the passionate Dutch 4-way fan. He would have another team for the 2010 season.
Dynamic Fource surely has Paul Hofstee's top priority, as the Dutch national 4-way team prepares for the unofficial world amateur title race at the World Championship of Formation Skydiving 2010. However, his third team will probably compete on a similar performance and scoring level as Dynamic Fource.

Did you know that the Shamrock Showdown 2010 includes the event's first 8-way competition? posted: Feb 3rd, 2010 The World Challenge 2010 has mostly been in the NSL News spotlight of the next upcoming meets, and this is for a good reason. The indoor competition at Bodyflight Bedford is really the major competition these days.
However, the FSL Shamrock Showdown 2010 is not too far behind in value and relevance. The logistics of an outdoor competition make it more challenging, as the weather plays an important role. However, the actual results on the scoreboard still speak a more realistic language compared to an indoor competition. Fact is that the skydiving world will know a lot more about the 2010 season...

Did you know that SDC Rhythm XP competes at the Shamrock Showdown and the World Challenge? posted: Feb 2nd, 2010 The NSL News' last segment of the Becca's Bootie Boogie coverage features a live update of the SDC Rhythm XP activities. Rob Radez, JaNette and Steve Lefkowitz accepted the invitation of the NSL News for a quick NSL Talk session at a break between the jumps.
It turned out to be another NSL Talk with a Rhythm 3-way, as new member Thiago Muradas was not present. His team mates said that he was working hard to be ready for training hard very soon. The Rhythm training of 2010 with the new lineup is actually already in full swing.
The three Rhythm members reported that the team completed 7.5 hours... (more)
Did you know that Sinapsi is ready to launch the team's 2010 season? posted: Feb 1st, 2010 The NSL News has already covered the potential top contenders for the World Championship of Formation Skydiving 2010 several times. So far, the stories have mostly discussed the chances of the three medal winners at the World Meet 2008 in France, Arizona Airspeed, Aerodyne Cypres Maubeuge and Hayabusa Defence. It may have given the impression that there are no other serious contenders for this year's top spots.
It is probably the truth that these three teams will once again be the top contenders for the first three places. However, there will be underdogs, such as the Canadian LeMay family team... (more)
