Did you know that Airspeed missed the world record by a few points?
posted: Oct 15th, 2009 Airspeed's 27-pointer has already been posted, which means that the Golden Knights will keep possession of the world record. That is the case only, of course, if Paraclete XP does not score higher. Brian "BK" Krause, team captain of the Golden Knights, said that his team did not get close to the world record level. In the meantime, another video made it up to the YouTube server successfully. The NSL-TV camera captured scenes of the dropzone this morning, the first day of the 8-way competition. It is kind of "Reality-TV", as the camera has no real plan and records whatever gets in the way. This... (more)

Did you know that there is already an 8-way race at the USPA Nationals 2009?
posted: Oct 15th, 2009 It will be a race, no doubt. The NSL News had a very good reason to add a few days to this year's trip to the 2009 USPA National Skydiving Championships after the conclusion of the 4-way competition. The situation in 8-way was just too promising for not being live on competition site. Round 1 was already the first evidence for the expected 8-way thriller. It will be a battle for the tickets to Russia and the World Championship of Formation Skydiving 2010. The scores of Round 2 added to the excitement. All three top contenders completed 19 points in working time. Paraclete XP and Arizona Airspeed... (more)

Did you know that there were some last minute lineup changes in 8-way?
posted: Oct 15th, 2009 The latest results of the NSL 8-way poll show the Golden Knights even far ahead of Arizona Airspeed. The interview with the US Army team must have given the voters in the audience enough confidence to see the Golden Knights already as the stronger team after their 900 training jumps. (more)

Did you know that new videos feature the world record show and the Golden Knights 8-way team?
posted: Oct 14th, 2009 More 4-way videos of the competition jumps will be uploaded soon. There will be a lot of footage for follow up stories. However, the 8-way competition begins tomorrow, and the NSL News focuses more on the 8-way event for a few days. The recent 4-way coverage finishes with a video clip that was filmed on Wednesday around noon. It was the time when Round 6 with the fast sequence of random formations finally came up for the 4-way teams in both AAA Class categories. The NSL News intercepted several teams at the landing area and captured the first reactions after the jump, including the owner... (more)

Did you know that 20 is a magic number for Airspeed?
posted: Oct 14th, 2009 It's the last update in 4-way after Round 10. The award ceremony is already over, and the 8-way draw has been done. Airspeed did it again. Eliana Rodriguez, Craig Girard, Mark Kirkby, Andy Delk and Steve Nowak added consecutive victory no. 20 to the records since this lineup was formed. They successfully started a new series of 20+ meets. Craig Girard won his first national championship title 20 years ago. It seems like the 20 is a special number, not only for the NSL News... The NSL News stays longer this time since the 8-way competition seems to be very exciting this year. Videos will be... (more)

Did you know that Perris Fury has the highscore of Round 7?
posted: Oct 14th, 2009 Round 7 is complete, and not much has changed. Perris Fury had the best performance of all AAA Class teams and deserved the highscore for the round. Spaceland Force XP completed 22 points in time, as well, but lost the Snowflake in the judging room. It was obviously a complete exit formation, and videographer Eric Boyd missed the complete picture by an inch. Bad luck. Arizona Airspeed had a major glitch building the Snowflake of Block 1 on the second page. However, the world champions fixed it, picked the speed back up carefully and finished with a 21-pointer. The 23 would have been in... (more)
