Did you know that Jesse Stahler and Sean Sweeney each claim four FAI gold medals? posted: Dec 23rd, 2025 When Jesse Stahler’s newly published NSL Profile went online, it did not take long for the audience to notice that something important was missing. One of the former Golden Knights team captains soon alerted NSL News that a major achievement had been omitted from Stahler’s competitive record.
The oversight became apparent while reviewing the career of Sean Sweeney, one of the more recent Golden Knights captains whose accomplishments have often gone underreported. Sweeney succeeded Brian Krause as team captain and selected Jesse Stahler for the lineup that would later win gold at the FAI... (more)
Did you know that Jesse Stahler breaks the streak of female NSL Profiles? posted: Dec 22nd, 2025 The addition of more female formation skydiving competitors to the NSL Profiles is briefly set aside to highlight a remarkable career story—one that is long overdue and far from reaching its conclusion. Jesse Stahler is the third Golden Knights team captain to receive an NSL Profile. It comes as little surprise that a captain of the U.S. Army teams stands out in the competitive arena, as FAI gold medals in 8-way competition have been almost consistently secured for extended periods since 1985. However, competitive talent, success, and medal counts alone do not fully explain this distinction.

Did you know that the Czech A Class competition keeps getting tighter? posted: Dec 19th, 2025 The first two meets of the Czech Tunnel League have been completed, although five Czech teams (Skywalkers Most, Panthers, Kiss & Piss, Surikaty, and Eagles) already launched their indoor winter season 2025/2026 in Poland at the annual Flyspot Open at the end of October.
Skywalkers Most took the AAA Class top spots comfortably at all three events, even though their performance and scoring level dropped significantly at the December meet. A slow competition draw, combined with unusual brainlocks and missed completions, caused the damage reflected in the 22.4 average — the lowest indoor result... (more)
Did you know that Professor Kanishka Perera is a highly skilled 4-way tail competitor? posted: Dec 18th, 2025 December is not even over yet, and the Indoor Cloud League already has the first scores and videos of the month posted on the final leaderboard of the year. Traditionally, the first results come from the Hurricane Factory in Prague, Czech Republic. However, Jan Klapka prefers to wait until the month is complete, as the entire period can still be used to improve scores across each of the six monthly sequences.
At iFLY Tampa, Mike Talerico had no additional Indoor Cloud League events scheduled before the end of the year and submitted the December videos two weeks ahead of the monthly deadline.... (more)
Did you know that female NSL Profiles are up to eleven with JaNette Lefkowitz? posted: Dec 17th, 2025 The NSL News continues to expand the NSL Profiles with the addition of female formation skydiving competitors. The vast majority of male featured athletes on SKYLEAGUE.COM were pointed out in February of this year. In response, the NSL News introduced four new NSL Profiles highlighting female competitors, while additional male profiles have been temporarily put on hold.
JaNette Lefkowitz is now the fifth consecutive female athlete added to the NSL Profiles, bringing the current balance to 31 male and 11 female profiles. Although progress has been made, there is still a long way to go before... (more)
Did you know that Michele Silvi had to buy beer for Aethers Remix? posted: Dec 16th, 2025 The NSL News noticed that former French 4-way and 8-way world champion Julien Degen competed with six different teams at the Weembinamic 2025. The NSL News is accustomed to following his extensive 4-way and 8-way activity in his home chamber, Weembinamic Lille. Several other highly experienced 4-way and 8-way competitors also use the Weembinamic event as an opportunity to compete with multiple teams, as lineup restrictions are minimal. However, Julien Degen consistently stands out with the highest level of participation, unsurprising given that Weembi Lille is his home facility.
This strong... (more)
