Did you know that Chris Farina is the new Center Inside for SDC Rhythm XP? posted: Dec 22nd, 2011 The selection of SDC Rhythm XP's new Center Inside was completed much quicker than the NSL News had expected.
In fact, the Rhythm 3way of 2010 and 2011, Thiago Gomes, JaNette and Steve Lefkowitz, needed exactly the same time that the 3way of 2009 with Rob Radez had to add Thiago Gomes to the lineup in 2010.
The Rhythm tryouts in 2009 took place on December 11th, and the NSL News announced Thiago Gomes as the new Tail on December 16th.
This year, the tryouts were held on December 16th, and JaNette Lefkowitz told the NSL News yesterday officially that the new Center Inside has been selected.... (more)
Did you know that only Rodney Cruce and Chris Farina were in their original slots at the SDC Rhythm XP tryouts? posted: Dec 17th, 2011 Chris Farina was in his original slot at the SDC Rhythm XP tryouts. He has been Center Inside for many years and for thousands of jumps, the last seven years with Perris Fury, together with Christy Frikken. He drove the Fury engine from the very beginning to the top 4way level in the world. Rodney Cruce and Chris Farina were the only two candidates who had the advantage of the "home slot".
It was also slightly easier for the former Fury engine to keep up with the Rhythm 3way. Thiago Gomes, JaNette and Steve Lefkowitz had three very intensive flying sessions behind where they all had 30 minutes... (more)

The former Bodyflight Voluntas member explained to the NSL News during Rodney Cruce's flying session how he had prepared himself for the new slot.
The Danish top competitor was the Center Outside for Voluntas, Denmark's national team that finished in 11th place at the World Championship of Formation Skydiving 2010 with a 19.0 average. Now he had to fly the Center Inside slot for SDC Rhythm XP.
Flemming Borup Andersen has... (more)
Did you know that Christy Frikken had the second tryout session at Paraclete XP? posted: Dec 16th, 2011 The NSL News mentioned with the first announcement of the SDC Rhythm XP tryouts on 15 December 2011 that "there are more candidates now and some of them with high profiles..."
This mention was related to the fact that the Rhythm 2009 tryouts had only three candidates, and none of them came from a higher scoring and performance level compared to Rhythm's team history.
This is very different this time. There was a selection process that included a good number of potential candidates who came from all kind of talent and experience levels.
The field of candidates also had top talent, such... (more)
