Did you know that the competition draw has been posted two weeks before the meet?
posted: Nov 5th, 2009 It's a little bit early to post the competition draw for a meet that it still two weeks away. However, it is very unlikely that any of the teams will be able to practice the competition jumps before the meet actually begins. The first competition day is Thursday, November 19. It would be an incredible logistical challenge to line up the 100 competitors of one of the teams to train the sequences before the competition begins. Seriously, it is not really a competition draw. BJ Worth, organizer of this year's Kaleidoscope Dives at SkyQuest 2009, has now released the 100-way sequences that will... (more)

Did you know that AAT/MD/Rogue members organize the next wind tunnel meet?
posted: Nov 4th, 2009 The NSL News has covered the unofficial "amateur record average" quite a few times in the past. Mass Defiance (Ben Liston - Center Inside, Jim Rees - Tail, John Silva - Center Outside, Brian Stephens - Point, Scuba" Steve Feldman - Camera) had posted the 19.3 average at the USPA Nationals 2007. The highest 10-round meet average of a weekend amateur team is still standing since no team scored higher at the 2009 USPA National Skydiving Championships. Two former Mass Defiance members, Ben Liston and Brian Stephens, watched the top challenger of this record, SDC Rhythm XP, trying to break it this... (more)

Did you know that Ian Bobo used a Halloween trick at the USPA Nationals 2009?
posted: Nov 3rd, 2009 It takes a while to catch up with a major event, such as a the 2009 USPA National Skydiving Championships. In fact, it is almost impossible to cover every little detail of so many teams that get together at the same time. NSL-TV has not uploaded too many of the 4-way Open Class rounds of the top teams so far. The story on 13 October 2009 included the videos of Round 1 of the top teams, the next story on the same day Round 2. A video of the action around the world record Round 6 was also uploaded with the story on 14 October 2009. This video clip of the world record show included the actual... (more)

Did you know that the most exciting battle took place in the Advanced Class?
posted: Nov 2nd, 2009 The closest and most exciting competition of the 2009 USPA National Skydiving Championships took place in a category that is used to be in the second row. SDC Furies XP and Ranch Fallout battled for USPA's Advanced Class gold medals from the first to the last round and ended up two points away from each other after ten rounds. The Furies, with Anabel Durham (Center Outside), Karyn Rees (Point), Shannon Sweet (Tail), Rhonda Wilcox (Center Inside) and Charles Lane (Camera), had the upper hand at the end. It was the first time in history that an all-female lineup won gold medals in any category... (more)

Did you know that Australia's Black team has four months to get ready?
posted: Nov 1st, 2009 The Scandinavian fans have spoken, Denmark's national 4-way team Voluntas is considered the strongest Scandinavian team of the 2009 season. The NSL News story on 30 October 2009 had offered a poll, which turned out as a race between Voluntas and Finland's Pro Team. The 2010 season will bring the World Championship of Formation Skydiving in Russia, and the same teams with the same lineups will most likely battle it out again for the unofficial Scandinavian championship, this time hopefully all four teams at the same time and at the same place. Only Norway will have a new national 4-way lineup,... (more)

Did you know that the Kaleidoscope Dives 2009 roster has been posted?
posted: Oct 31st, 2009 The NSL News story on 25 September 2009 included the first preview of SkyQuest 2009. World Team founder and Kaleidoscope Dives manager BJ Worth mentioned already in his first official announcement that he was planning to grow the event this year and invite many more World Team members to this year's Kaleidoscope Dives at SkyQuest 2009 in DeLand: "We will expand the number of participants, mix our collective talent pool as equally as possible, and jump as two teams – performing the same dive sequences. The size of these teams will be based on maintaining a very high quality of dives." BJ... (more)
