Did you know that the Fun Flag has been flying at Gold Coast? posted: Oct 10th, 2018 What's a world meet without the Fun Flag? There is a long history behind the Fun Flag, and it begins with the Golden Knights 8-way team, who are on their way in Australia to win the FAI gold medals for the fourth consecutive time.
Former Golden Knights member Chris Wagner knew most of the Fun Flag history, and the NSL News documented it on 13 September 2006. Then it was followed by many updates, the last one on 22 October 2016.
Two years without a Fun Flag update is a long time, even though it is exactly the time period between two world meets. However, the Fun Flag is supposed to help bringing... (more)
Did you know that team videographers launched a labor union at the FAI Mondial 2016? posted: Oct 28th, 2016 The completion of the 4-way and 8-way events at the USPA Nationals 2016 allows the Sun Path Products NSL News to continue with more aftermath of previous events.
There is a topic that is almost as important as the adventures of the Fun Flag, and sometimes the stories of both topics even connect.
The team videographers are usually not getting a lot of attention behind their cameras, even though running a Formation Skydiving competition would simply be impossible without them. There is more to it than just the fact that the sport completely depends on presenting the freefall footage visually... (more)
Did you know that Germany lost an 8-way battle and won the Fun Flag? posted: Oct 22nd, 2016 The aftermath of the FAI Mondial 2016 did not include an update of the Fun Flag situation after members of the South African 4-way Open Class team Savolo had their own adventure, as the Sun Path Products NSL News reported on September 16th.
The next spot of the Fun Flag was not easy to see.
It may have even required the eagle's eye perspective from a parachute to find it, while the location was still very much related to the competition.
Members of the German delegation had taken possession of the flag and placed it on one wing of Skydive Chicago's DC3, which is exclusively memorabilia... (more)
Did you know that the Fun Flag adventure could not distract Savolo too much? posted: Sep 16th, 2016 The happy ending of a world meet disregards the scores and placings and includes the Fun Flag.
The Sun Path Products NSL News was not able to give the Fun Flag much attention during the very busy four days of the competition. However, this does not mean that there were no Fun Flag activities. In fact, the Fun Flag changed ownership several times at Skydive Chicago.
The Sun Path Products NSL News was at least able to catch enough of this event's adventure story for a new update. This time, it was the South African national team in 4-way Open that was seriously involved with the Fun Flag and... (more)
Did you know that a new exciting 8-way battle between Microclim8 and Airbus seems to be coming up? posted: Sep 2nd, 2016 The Sun Path Products NSL News had introduced the 8-way Open Class field for the Mondial 2016 with the story on August 25th. A total of eight teams were officially registered at that time.
However, the currently running German Nationals 2016 include an 8-way competition, as well, where the Airbus 8-way lineup is far ahead in 1st place after seven rounds.
Airbus was not on the virgin leaderboard that introduced the 8-way teams, even though the team will also travel to Skydive Chicago very soon.
The 8-way competition at the German Nationals 2016 is taking place not even a week after the... (more)
Did you know that the Fun Flag seems to be in Austria after the FAI World Cup 2015? posted: Sep 16th, 2015 The last Fun Flag update from the FAI World Cup 2015 brought the Sun Path Products NSL News into new territory of the event coverage.
The first update on September 7th mentioned that the French Freefly team Solaris (Loic Perrouin, Pierre Rabuel) had the Fun Flag at the beginning of the event.
Possession changed a few times, and the Fun Flag went once again through a few interesting adventures after its latest travel to the Netherlands.
Speed Skydiving competitor Moritz Friess was involved in the adventures for a little while and provided the Sun Path Products NSL News with a live update... (more)
