Did you know that only two teams scored higher than 14.0 since 2002? posted: Oct 18th, 2017 The value of the 14.0 winning average that Vega XP posted at the USPA Nationals 2017 becomes more obvious after taking a closer look at the results in this category since it was introduced at USPA Nationals. Only two Intermediate Class teams have ever posted higher 10-round averages, Formula 4 (14.1) in 2002 and the Impulse team of the Air Force Academy (14.6) in 2010.
DeLand Tunnel Rage finished the 6-round competition with a 15.3 average in 2000. However, USPA applied a different dive pool at that time, which was identical with the current A Class of the National Skydiving League. The easier... (more)
Did you know that Airspeed Odyssey had a successful and competitive reunion? posted: Sep 27th, 2017 The 4-way competition at the USPA Nationals 2017 was completed in the early afternoon on Tuesday, and everything went back to 4-way business as usual after a thrilling start.
It was still a 1-point battle between Arizona Airspeed and SDC Rhythm XP at the end of the first day and after seven rounds. Rhythm had really scared Airspeed on Monday, and everything was possible with three remaining rounds. It was only the first round on Tuesday morning that the challenger really gave away, and it was enough for Airspeed to carry the next 4-way title over the finish line with a 6-point advantage.

Did you know that Mass Defiance is going overseas this summer? posted: Apr 21st, 2017 Mass Defiance, USPA Advanced Class champion of 2005 usually makes the Sun Products NSL News headlines after the USPA Nationals or the indoor competition at SkyVenture New Hampshire.
The New England team was founded in 2004 and competed at all national championships until 2008 before slowing down with training and competition and only coming back at random events for reunions with modified lineups.
The original lineup (Brian Stephens, Ben Liston, John Silva, Jim Rees, with Steve "Scuba" Feldman on camera) posted the highest unofficial U.S. amateur average at the USPA Nationals 2007 (19.3)... (more)
Did you know that SDC Rhythm XP had the bigger gloves at the Paraclete XP Indoor 2017? posted: Apr 13th, 2017 It aImost went by as if it were nothing special. It is actually a serious upset, and possibly a tipping point in recent U.S. 4-way history. The unthinkable became reality at the Paraclete XP Indoor Championships 2017: Arizona Airspeed was defeated by SDC Rhythm XP.
OK, and first of all, I do feel somehow ignorant sometimes when I bring attention once again to our sport's top teams. They get all the attention and all the support and sponsor-ships, so why do I have to give them additional attention? Well, because the top competition is the most exciting part of the sport - in all sports - and... (more)
Did you know that Weembi's signature lineup has not competed at the World Challenge yet? posted: Feb 17th, 2017 The recent preview of the World Challenge 2017 included the list of teams that were already registered at this point in time, and it was history a few days later after several more teams signed up. The Sun Path Products NSL News will soon follow up with the new field.
NMP PCH HayaBusa and Weembi Lille are still on the top of the current power ranking, which is not going to change. Even Arizona Airspeed would not be able to interfere with the top positions, as the U.S. national team has to offer "only" 30.5 as the highest indoor average.
Airspeed is neither traveling to Bedford nor to the... (more)

The same story mentioned that Dallas 350 did not have any plans for the 2017 season.
The Dallas 350 situation has changed in the meantime in many ways. There are serious plans for the 2017 season, while the lineup has changed dramatically.
Only Scott Levy will come back for Dallas 350, and he has three new team mates, plus a new 350 videographer.
Former 350 member Scott Latinis has taken... (more)
