Did you know that new scores from Eloy come along with a new top team for the World Challenge 2008? posted: Feb 20th, 2008 The scoreboard of the Valentine's Meet 2008 keeps filling with more scores. The NSL News thanks Airspeed Odyssey's Craig Girard and Chris Farina of Perris Fury who took photos of the event's scoreboard at different times and eventually sent these photos to DeLand when the official scores were not available for the NSL News.
In fact, the NSL scoring table still has some holes, which will hopefully soon be filled. The NSL News apologizes for the delay. Italy's Eutelia Spin Team withdrew after Round 7, while Arizona Diverwerkz' and Arizona Directe's scores for the last round will be added as soon... (more)
Did you know that Airspeed Odyssey's 20-point streak ended after 45 competition jumps? posted: Feb 18th, 2008 The scores of the first six rounds of the Valentine's Meet 2008 have now been posted, and there was no Russian team in Eloy last weekend, neither Crossroads nor Kaktus Hunter. However, Kaktus Hunter is registered for the World Challenge 2008 and will post the team's first scores of the 2008 season at Bodyflight Bedford in March. Several teams continued on Sunday and completed ten rounds. The missing scores will be posted very soon.
The scores of the first six rounds provided already a lot of interesting information. Airspeed Odyssey added four more rounds to the record series of scores with... (more)
Did you know that Russian sibblings compete together for Kaktus Hunter? posted: Feb 16th, 2008 The Valentine's Meet 2008 got to a late start on Saturday morning after bad weather kept the teams on the ground in the morning. The first scores will be posted as soon as they become available. Shannon Pilcher, who works with the Canadian national team Evolution in Eloy, reported on the phone that Airspeed Odyssey scored 21 points in Round 1. Perris Fury completed 20 points in time, lost four points in the judging room and had a 16-pointer on the scoreboard. Evolution had to accept two penalties and got 15 points as the officil score.
The NSL News uses the time until more scores will be available... (more)
Did you know that Airspeed's Odyssey 2007 is now available on DVD? posted: Feb 8th, 2008 Some of the regular Skyleague.com visitors have already detected a new item in the NSL Shop and ordered a new DVD that has been added to the inventory. Airspeed's Odyssey through the 2007 season, at least in parts, has now been documented on the new DVD, which has just become available.
The NSL News has covered most of the events that Airspeed Odyssey attended last year, and many meet videos were uploaded and could be viewed on NSL-TV. However, a video on the internet is surely not the same as a DVD of the best 4-way jumps of the 2007 season, and the DVD offers much more than only competition... (more)
Did you know that DeLand Groove trains for the FSL Shamrock Showdown 2008? posted: Feb 6th, 2008 The last reunion of DeLand Genesis (Shannon Pilcher, Ian Bobo, Kyle Collins, David Van Greuningen, Eric Taylor) was actually planned for last year's USPA Nationals and did not materialize. The next attempt to get together as many of the original members as possible followed for the NSL Championship 2007, with the same unfortunate result.
DeLand Groove instead (Shannon Pilcher, Ian Bobo, Solly Williams, Gary Smith) was more successful with a reunion at the FSL Shamrock 2007. The combination of DeLand Majik members (Solly Williams, Gary Smith) and DeLand Genesis (Shannon Pilcher, Ian Bobo) had... (more)
Did you know that Bodyflight Storm's front piece had problems in Bedford? posted: Jan 12th, 2008 The NSL News story on 26 November 2007 covered the Perris Fury - Bodyflight Storm tunnel camp in Bedford where both teams continued with their productive and successful cooperation. NSL News plan was to follow up with videos of this tunnel camp where Perris Fury provided coaching with 2-on-2 flying sessions.
It took a little while until the footage became available, however, it is never too late for some great videos, which have now been uploaded. Thanks to Bodyflight Storm and team videographer Gary Wainwright.
The video from the November camp shows the different pieces of both teams flying... (more)
