News Article Did you know that the French Aethers made a statement in Spain?
posted: Feb 1st, 2026 The final scores on the Wind Games 2026 leaderboard tell the story. Once again, the Aethers dominated the field—just as they did a year ago, when they did not concede a single round at the same event. NMP PCH HayaBusa managed to tie two rounds at the Wind Games 2025, a feat they repeated again last weekend. Among the two other national teams at the top of the leaderboard—NMP PCH HayaBusa and the Golden Knights—the Belgians can at least claim, statistically, that they have closed the gap to the French indoor world champions. They reduced the deficit from 33 points in 2025 to 28 points after... (more)
News Article Did you know that Skynamite was the team of the first two days at the Wind Games?
posted: Jan 30th, 2026 The Wind Games 2026 in Empuriabrava, Spain, have passed the halfway mark, with six rounds completed. The remaining four rounds are all scheduled for Saturday, with Round 10 set for mid-afternoon local time. There have been few surprises so far. NMP PCH HayaBusa team captain Dennis Praet, along with Arizona Airspeed and HayaBusa coach Gary Smith, closely reviewed the NSL Power Rankings and made their final adjustments before the competition began. After Round 6, the standings largely confirm those forecasts. The French Aethers appear to be even further ahead than expected, while NMP PCH HayaBusa... (more)
News Article Did you know that Gary Smith provided updates from the Wind Games?
posted: Jan 28th, 2026 Gary Smith explained during an NSL Live Talk conversation on 10 December 2025 that his work with Qatar’s formation skydiving delegation had come to an end. Having returned to the Netherlands, he is now ready to resume his highly successful collaboration with NMP PCH HayaBusa. The first test of the next phase in his ongoing cooperation with the Belgian team will be the upcoming Wind Games 2026. There, the current HayaBusa lineup will face an exceptionally strong field of world-class 4-way indoor teams—possibly stronger than ever before at a single competition. The pressure on both team and... (more)
News Article Did you know that Natalie Rodriguez and Russ Bayuk launch Indoor Cloud League 2026 in the Midwest?
posted: Jan 28th, 2026 The ICL Midwest team of the Indoor Cloud League established a strong presence on the monthly leaderboards after joining in August 2020. Members of Skydive Midwest NEXT originally launched the ICL group and sustained participation throughout the corona virus crisis until the end of 2022. During 2023, ICL Midwest posted scores and videos sporadically until CSC Constellation XP founders Natalie Rodriguez and Russ Bayuk resumed regular ICL 4-way events, continuing through March 2025. During this period, their own 4-way team transitioned from a 1st-place finish in the AA/Intermediate Class at the USPA... (more)
News Article Did you know that Jeana Billings, Kirk Verner, Matt Davidson have a new 8-way starting point?
posted: Jan 26th, 2026 Since 1985, the William H. Ottley Sword—awarded to the 8-way world champions and also known as the 8-way Excalibur—has carried only the names of team members from the United States, France, and Russia. Over the same period, the 4-way Excalibur has been shared exclusively by teams from France, Belgium, and the United States. In 8-way competition, only one ten-year span—or six outdoor world championships between 2001 and 2010—saw the same three nations share titles. U.S. teams dominated early, winning eight consecutive world championship titles from 1985 to 1999, followed by another streak... (more)
News Article Did you know that Arizona Airspeed explained the new slots for all on NSL Live Talk?
posted: Jan 25th, 2026 Arizona Airspeed appeared on NSL Live Talk with their complete new lineup. The only team member not in Spain was team videographer Alex Swindle, as Airspeed is attending the Wind Games 2026—an indoor competition where neither his skills nor those of any other team videographer are required. The previous NSL Live Talk featuring the full 2025 lineup was recorded after the conclusion of the FAI Indoor World Championship 2025, where Niklas Hemlin was still competing with the team. Although Alisson de Vargas had already joined Arizona Airspeed at that time, he was not eligible to compete at the... (more)
