Have you heard that Round 10 ate Airspeed for lunch??
posted: Feb 16th, 2010 The next part of the video clips that feature Arizona Airspeed's Round 10 at the Valentine's Meet 2010 begins where the last one had ended. The teams have to ride a trailer truck to get to the boarding area at Skydive Arizona, and the NSL News camera joined the teams on the way. Airspeed added another dirtdive to the final preparations and then waited for the jump plane, together with the Dutch/Belgian team 4XTT. There was another incidence that caused some trouble right before boarding the Twin Otter. Airspeed's Center Inside Andy Delk discovered that he had a serious problem with his bootie.... (more)

Have you heard that the NSL-TV camera followed Airspeed on the path to Round 10?
posted: Feb 15th, 2010 Arizona Airspeed's competition videos at the Valentine's Meet 2010 have already been uploaded with yesterday's story from Eloy. The NSL News continued to collect footage on the only day live at Skydive Arizona, due to the travel problems. After returning to the NSL office in DeLand it is time now to follow up with stories and footage. The first NSL-TV video clip leads into Airspeed's preparations for Round 10, the jump that stopped the streak of consecutive Airspeed scores of 20 points or higher. Airspeed added nine more rounds to the 26 jumps after the Dubai Championship. The Airspeed record... (more)

Have you heard that the sequence of Round 10 ended Airspeed's 20-point streak?
posted: Feb 14th, 2010 It is time to catch up with the coverage of the Valentine's Meet 2010. It was a very challenging agenda for the NSL News due to the complications with the itinerary, as the previews of the event explained earlier. The 6-round meet on Saturday was already completed when the NSL News arrived at Skydive Arizona, and posting the scores was all that could be done yesterday. The Sunday was mostly dedicated to collecting as much footage and information as possible of both days. The coverage now begins with the most important thing, Arizona Airspeed's competition videos of all ten rounds. There was... (more)

Have you heard that Airspeed will eat the sequence of Round 10 for breakfast?
posted: Feb 12th, 2010 The competition draw has been handed out at the Valentine's Meet 2010 in Eloy, and it has now also popped up on the NSL front page. It is on the faster side, as two of the slower moves, Block 12 (Bundy - Bundy) and Block 14 (Bipole - Bipole), would only come in Round 11. The Valentine's Meet is scheduled for ten rounds in the AAA/Open Class competition. (more)

Have you heard that the NSL News got stuck in bad weather?
posted: Feb 12th, 2010 Bad weather does not only have its impact on the actual skydiving events. The NSL News had a false start with the coverage of the Valentine's Meet 2010 this morning. The travel itinerary included a stop in Atlanta, Georgia. It turned out that this became an unfortunate obstacle, as the big weather system on top of the southeast of the USA dumped a lot of rain and snow on Georgia and Florida. The NSL News never even had a chance. The airline had already canceled today's flight to Phoenix and moved NSL News reporter Kurt Gaebel to the same flight tomorrow before he had even arrived at the... (more)

Have you heard that the Paraclete XP 8-way lineup has two new members for the Shamrock?
posted: Feb 11th, 2010 The NSL News is getting ready for the weekend trip to Arizona, where the Valentine's Meet 2010 will begin Saturday morning. The first interesting event will be the competition draw on Friday evening, as it will indicate whether Arizona Airspeed will be able or not to keep the 20-point and up scoring streak alive. At the same time, the preparations for the FSL Shamrock Showdown 2010 and the World Challenge 2010 continue in full swing. The list of teams for this year's indoor competition at Bodyflight Bedford was updated, while Paraclete XP's Kirk Verner provided the NSL News with his lineup... (more)
