Did you know that Lee Staebler provided indoor feedback from a tall perspective? posted: Mar 18th, 2019 The NSL News recently posted the February column of Blue Skies Mag's Turning Points. "Size Matters" was related to flying chambers for indoor training and competition, and to the meet conditions for participating teams and competitors.
The article pointed out that body sizes have a direct relationship to the indoor meet conditions, which are not the same for everybody in smaller flying chambers.
The article related to the German national team in 4-way Open, Airbus, who probably combine for an average body height of at least 6 feet or 182 centimeters. However, the NSL News actually received... (more)
Did you know that Lite XP/Spaceland Lite celebrate their 10-year team anniversary in 2019? posted: Mar 6th, 2019 Lite XP, formerly known as Spaceland Lite, or Spaceland SPX Lite, is one of the longest standing 4-way teams in the United States. In fact, the 2019 season brings the 10-year anniversary for Lite, who appeared for the first time on the NSL leaderboard in May 2009.

Did you know that Ranch 2nd Generation moves closer to the U.S. bronze medal position? posted: Mar 4th, 2019 The Paraclete XP Indoor Championship also featured once again the next battle for the bronze medals between the Golden Knights Gold lineup and Ranch 2nd Generation.
It was not really a competitive duel at the two previous events in 2017 and 2018, where the Golden Knights won easily over the U.S. 4-way shooting star. It was much more challenging than in 2018 for the same Gold lineup little over a week ago at the same event. R2G is a well trained and experienced 4-way team by now, while the Golden Knights don't have much time for 4-way training at all.
In fact, the members of the current 4-way... (more)
