Did you know that the first round of NSL Talk features Spaceland Force XP?
posted: Oct 10th, 2009 The weather situation has not changed much at the 2009 USPA National Skydiving Championships, which will begin with the first competition jumps on Monday morning. The NSL News has not seen one jump plane in the air yet, even though the sun came out quite a few times in the afternoon. It was just not good enough to send the teams up in safe jumping conditions. There is one more day left for warm up jumps. Arizona Airspeed and Perris Fury never made it to the dropzone today, while many teams were waiting for an opportunity. Spaceland Force XP was on site and ready to make a few jumps. Gary... (more)

Did you know that the NSL News is now reporting live from Texas?
posted: Oct 10th, 2009 The transition of the NSL News operation from DeLand to Skydive Spaceland in Texas has been successfully completed. The weather situation at the hosting site of the 2009 USPA National Skydiving Championships is the same as it appeared to be on the weather map in the past days. The skyscrapers at Houston's downtown area greeted the visitors only half-way, as the tops of the buildings were covered by clouds. The situation did not change much on the way to Rosharon, southwest of Houston. This time, the radio towers on the side of the highway were covered with clouds. It has been a quiet day... (more)

Did you know that the results of the 8-way poll changed overnight?
posted: Oct 9th, 2009 Yesterday's NSL News update and preview of the 2009 USPA National Skydiving Championships had an impact on the latest results of the NSL Poll for the 8-way competition. None of the four listed teams had a significant advantage, and Arizona Airspeed's lineup had collected the majority of votes at that point in time. This changed overnight. The Golden Knights are now far ahead of the other three teams. It seems as if the focus on the 8-way event has given the US Army team the edge in the poll. (more)

Did you know that Airspeed is clearly on top in the 4-way poll?
posted: Oct 8th, 2009 The start of the 2009 USPA National Skydiving Championships is only three days away. The 2-week event begins with the 4-way competition jumps on Monday. The NSL News will be reporting the 4-way and 8-way competition live from the event site in Texas, with all the exciting features that the audience has become used to. (more)

Did you know that the Pro Team is the unofficial Scandinavian 4-way champion of 2009?
posted: Oct 7th, 2009 Three Scandinavian teams competed for this year's internal top spot at the FAI World Cup 2009, Norway's national 4-way team Nexus, Evolution from Sweden and the Pro Team from Finland. The NSL News had mentioned the unofficial "Scandinavian Championship" already a few times during the live coverage from Prostejov, Czech Republic. Norway had dominated the 4-way competition in Scandinavia for a long time, first with the DeLand Norgies and then with Arcteryx. Denmark had the best Scandinavian 4-way team before the Norwegian years. The world class team Touche won two sets of bronze medals at the... (more)

Did you know that more CamScore/NSL News packages are on the meet agenda?
posted: Oct 6th, 2009 The 2009 USPA National Skydiving Championships will only be one step on the way to the World Championship of Formation Skydiving 2010 in Russia for three teams, a very important one though. The winners of the 4-way and the 8-way competition are usually automatically qualified by USPA as the national teams for the next world meet. The same counts for the highest scoring all-female lineup in the Open Class competition. The upcoming major Formation Skydiving competition of the 2009 season in the USA has also a similar situation for the NSL News and for CamScore. Both have already been invited... (more)
