Did you know that Gary Smith and Mike LaRoche open the day for the NSL News in Menzelinsk?
posted: Aug 4th, 2010 Wednesday morning at the World Championship of Formation Skydiving 2010 began with a new session of NSL Talk. Actually, big news first: the Fun Flag is now in the possession of the US female 4-way team, Spaceland Blue. That is no surprise since Thomas Hughes is the team's coach. Gary Smith and Mike LaRoche were the NSL Talk guests this morning. Mike LaRoche is the alternate for the Golden Knights who were getting ready for Round 8 when the NSL Talk took place. The NSL News audience may remember that the NSL News reported in spring this year that Mike LaRoche could not compete with his team at... (more)

Did you know that Thomas Hughes has the Fun Flag?
posted: Aug 3rd, 2010 An action loaded day is over at the World Championship of Formation Skydiving 2010. All scores of today are posted, and it cannot be much more exciting in the 4-way Open Class and in 8-way. It seems as if Aerodyne Cypres Maubeuge and Arizona Airspeed have their own battle for the gold medals over the last three rounds. However, there is the fast sequence of Round 9, which could bring the Sky Panthers and NMP-PCH Hayabusa back in striking distance. Paratec-Saar is in great position to win the unofficial title of the best amateur team in the world and has even left UK's team Satori behind so... (more)

Did you know that the latest NSL Talk session included a Fun Flag update?
posted: Aug 3rd, 2010 The second NSL Talk session on Tuesday took place after the 4-way teams arrived at the dropzone and while they prepared for their first jumps of the day. The coaches had finished their work with the teams and had time to join the NSL Talk session. It was a special group, as Gary Smith, Solly Williams and NSL Talk host Joey Jones were DeLand Majik team mates when they won the World Meet 2004 in Croatia. Lenka Mazaeva joined the group by coincidence. The former Lady Birds member came to greet her former coach Solly Williams and could not escape before the camera was running. This NSL Talk session...

Did you know that the Fun Flag was flying for the first time in Menzelinsk?
posted: Jul 31st, 2010 It is about time for the first Fun Flag update from Menzelinsk in Russia, one day before the teams will begin with Round 1 at the World Championship of Formation Skydiving 2010. The Belgian team NMP-PCH Hayabusa had the last Fun Flag word at the World Meet 2008 in Maubeuge, France, and took it back home to Belgium. Hayabusa managed to keep possession of the flag after a very lively and exciting World Cup 2009 in Prostejov, Czech Republic. The NSL News audience may remember one of the biggest and toughest battles for the Fun Flag after French videographer Sylvain Girault had dropped it from... (more)

Did you know that the 8-way teams prepare in different ways for the battle?
posted: Jul 29th, 2010 Last weekend's leaderboard was replaced with a new one sooner than usual. The reason is obvious, as the currently listed teams are the ones that will compete at the World Championship of Formation Skydiving 2010 in Menzelinsk, Russia. It's an effort to introduce the field to the audience early enough. The previous leaderboard has neither been removed nor have the teams been forgotten. In fact, new scores from the Virginia Parachute Council have just been added. There is also one team that is on both leaderboards. Denmark's national team Bodyflight Voluntas attended the national championships... (more)

Did you know that UK 4-way team Satori can't wait to get to Russia?
posted: Jul 28th, 2010 The NSL News mentioned earlier today that a Satori update would follow very soon. The UK national team in the Open Class arrived a day after Team Bodyflight made it to Russia coming from the United Kingdom. The UK delegation is now complete. Team Bodyflight's reigning and defending 4-way world champion in the female 4-way category, Sarah Smith-Cannon, brought the IPC Trophy for this category in her luggage and allowed the NSL News to take a look at it upon arrival at the airport. She also brought up the question where the Fun Flag is recently hidden, and it is about time to investigate this... (more)
