Did you know that UK team Airkix won $50,000 by one point?
posted: Nov 5th, 2005 The NSL News needed more time to move back from Arizona to DeLand than expected. However, the operation gets slowly back to normal pace after a delay of a week. There are still many stories to be covered after the conclusion of the FAI World Cup 2005, and it begins with exciting news for team Airkix from the United Kingdom. The UK team of IPC's 4-way Women's class was racing with Russia's Ladybirds and Fastrax Select for the bronze medals in Eloy throughout the whole meet. It was an exciting competition between these three teams, and the Ladybirds took the medals at the end. (more)

Did you know that the jump-off videos conclude the NSL News coverage?
posted: Oct 27th, 2005 The 4-way competition has a World Cup champion, but the meet is not over yet. DeLand Fire showed great competitive attitude in round ten. Fire knew that there was no chance for the gold medals any longer, it was a clear victory for Airspeed Odyssey. However, the USPA champion 2005 had still enough motivation to fight for the second place. The Russian Black Cat was one point ahead of Fire after nine rounds. Fire was shown first on DZ-TV, and the 26-pointer was very fast and clean. Black Cat was next and came close, however, the counter stopped at 25 points in time. It was time again for a jump-off....

Did you know that Airspeed had a few words for the NSL audience after the 8-way victory?
posted: Oct 27th, 2005 The 8-way competition ended on the highest level of performance. The very last jump of the 8-way competition was probably the best skydive of the whole meet. Arizona Airspeed boarded the plane alone, just as throughout the whole competition. Team number 805 put Airspeed at the end of the jump order from the very beginning, and it remained the same way when the jump order was adjusted according to the current rankings. Deguello and Italy shared a load, while Russia and France jumped from the same plane. Airspeed had the whole plane without company. The pressure was on in round ten after France... (more)

Did you know that Dan BC provided his view on Thursday morning?
posted: Oct 27th, 2005 The 8-way competition has heated up this morning. Obviously, France has won back two points in round nine, and it is only a 1-point difference between Airspeed and France going into the last round. The NSL News used the morning hours to sit down with Dan BC for an interview. He predicted that it is almost easier for a team to be shortly behind rather than being in the lead. He explained the logic of this theory in the interview. He also thought that Airspeed would be experienced enough to deal with the challenge. The French team took advantage of the situation coming from behind and might... (more)

Did you know that the French teams will keep up with heart, soul and passion?
posted: Oct 27th, 2005 The NSL News had the opportunity to spend more time with the French national coach Jerome David in Eloy who has already kindly provided the NSL audience with updates from France several times in the past. The NSL News spoke with Jerome David in the morning of the third day at the FAI World Cup 2005. Jerome David supervises and manages the whole Formation Skydiving competition for the French skydiving association. He is also the technical coach of the French female 4-way team, while Erwan Pouliquen works directly with the 8-way team. The NSL News asked him first for feedback regarding the performance...

Did you know that Solly Williams provided the summary of Wednesday's events?
posted: Oct 26th, 2005 The NSL News found DeLand Majik member and current 4-way world champion Solly Williams at the end of the competition day working with the Russian Lady Birds. The NSL News had to wait a few minutes until he had completed the preparations for tomorrow, and it was well worth it. Solly Williams kindly took the time to provide the summary of Wednesday's events for the NSL News audience. He had followed all events and was well prepared for an accurate evaluation of the current situation at the FAI World Cup 2005 in Eloy. All scores for the first eight rounds are posted and speak its own language.... (more)
