Did you know that 45 points is the new world record?
posted: Oct 14th, 2009 It happened as it was expected. The world record fell. The whole dropzone operation was interrupted, and meet director Scott Smith invited the crowd to the viewing area in the hangar. He commented the judging of the seven highest ranking teams and their performances in Round 6 together with Dan BC. The show peaked when Spaceland Force XK scored a 45-pointer after a 1-point deduction. This was the new world record. Airspeed was the last team in the judging loop and still had the chance to tie the score or go higher. Airspeed completed 45 points in time, lost the exit point and ended up with the... (more)

Did you know that a new round of NSL Talk features VTSD?
posted: Oct 14th, 2009 It's a special day at the 2009 USPA National Skydiving Championships. There is no doubt that at least two rounds will be completed today. Most likely, the meet will even be completed, as the weather forecast is promising. Mentioning two rounds is meant to keep Round 6 of the Open Class competition in mind, which is probably not very difficult. Round 6 has a sequence that is fast enough to set a new world record for a single round. The world record round can be expected around noon. The NSL News used another weather break yesterday to meet with the leader of the AA/Intermediate Class competition... (more)

Did you know that Jack Jefferies commented for the NSL News today?
posted: Oct 13th, 2009 The NSL News night shift begins with the most important part of the sport - the videos of the competition jumps. USPA and CamScore provided the NSL News with the video files of the competition jumps, so the audience can enjoy reviews of some of the many meet jumps. Four rounds were completed on Monday and Tuesday, videos of two of these rounds have been uploaded and feature the Top 4 teams in the Open Class competition. The presentation begins with the videos of Round 1 where Arizona Airspeed took the lead right away and was the only team that got to the 20-point level. This video can be found... (more)

Did you know that the NSL-TV camera followed the top teams in Round 3?
posted: Oct 13th, 2009 Airspeed took the lead back in Round 3 by a point over Spaceland, Fury tied Spaceland’s 23-pointer but lost a video point after the exit. The Golden Knights lost a point too, and Fury has the 3rd place alone now. The NSL News followed Airspeed on their heels and filmed the other three top teams while they got ready for Round 3. The meet director already changed the jump order. The Top 4 (Airspeed, Spaceland Force, Perris Fury, Golden Knights) are now in the same Twin Otter. It was interesting to see them all together. They will have this situation for seven more rounds. The NSL-TV camera... (more)

Did you know that Airspeed followed up on Craig Girard's prediction?
posted: Oct 13th, 2009 The last missing video can now be reviewed, as well. It it actually very interesting, as it is another round of NSL Talk, and the guests are also discussing the competition draw, including the 3-block challenge of Round 1. Perris Fury members Christy Frikken and Chris Farina, Airspeed's Craig Girard, Golden Knight Brian "BK" Krause and Paraclete's Kirk Verner took the time to chat with the NSL News in front of the hangar, still without much activity in the landing area. This has obviously changed now, as the whole place is very busy to use the weather situation. (more)

Did you know that more videos have now been uploaded?
posted: Oct 12th, 2009 Uploading the video files was no problem at the hotel, and the first videos can already be reviewed. They feature the opening ceremony and the first preparations of the teams right after the competition draw, and they are embedded in the related story. The next video included scenes on Monday morning when things became very busy all of a sudden. This video is embedded in the next story that explained why the footage cannot be uploaded timely. It was a strange situation, unlike any other championship competition. The jumpable weather situation came surprisingly, and the meet director reacted... (more)
