Did you know that The A Class dive pool has changed?
posted: Jun 17th, 2026 The A Class category was introduced by the National Skydiving League in 2000 and was first used at meets within the NSL 4-Way Network that same year. The league's first regional organizations—Southwest, Florida, New England, and Texas—used the A Class to introduce new participants to 4-way competition. Shortly thereafter, the Rookie Class (RRR) was added, and the AA/Intermediate Class was streamlined by removing the slot-switching blocks. At the time, USPA's Intermediate Class consisted of a shortened version of the AAA Class dive pool. In 2002, the AAA/Open/Advanced and AA/Intermediate... (more)

Did you know that Spaceland Dallas Pajama Party and STF4 won the Cloud Games?
posted: Jun 16th, 2026 The June 6/7 weekend also featured the latest edition of the Cloud Games, an event that has applied the format of the international NSL 4-way Network once a year since 2021. The competition offers 4-way events in three of the four NSL categories (AAA, AA and A), along with a separate Rookie Class that uses the A Class dive pool. However, the Rookie Class has yet to attract any participation since the event was introduced. The event can take place at an unlimited number of locations, although participation in USPA's AAA Class categories (Open and Advanced) has remained limited. In fact, both... (more)

Did you know that Elliot Byrd is on camera for SDC Rhythm XP?
posted: Jun 15th, 2026 SDC Rhythm XP is one of the longest-standing 4-way teams in the United States and has been featured in NSL News headlines many times over the years. The pinnacle of the team's competitive success came with its 4-way Open Class victory at the USPA Nationals 2019, earning the team the USPA Championship title. That achievement also secured a place in the U.S. delegation for the FAI Tanay Mondial in August 2021, where Christy Frikken, Doug Barron, Andrew Happick, Steve Lefkowitz, and videographer Justin Wageman won silver medals behind NMP PCH HayaBusa. The 2021 season marked the third and final... (more)

Did you know that Paranodon SOS transitioned quickly from AAA to A-Class competition?
posted: Jun 13th, 2026 Aethers and Golden Knights both accepted a challenging schedule when they committed to their next 4-way competition, the Shamrock Showdown 2026 - 1st Bob Hallett Memorial, immediately after completing ten indoor rounds at the FAI Indoor World Cup 2026. The teams traveled from France to Florida, where they transitioned from indoor to outdoor competition at Skydive DeLand. Full-time teams and competitors are accustomed to challenging situations, whether on the logistical side or during a competition itself. However, it is relatively uncommon for recreational teams and competitors to commit to... (more)

Did you know that last weekend's AA Class leaderboard proved to be the more closely contested competition?
posted: Jun 12th, 2026 The NSL News had already noted earlier that the AAA Class competition at the Paranodon Cup 2026 offered several compelling storylines beyond the performance of Germany's national team in 4-way Open, Airbus 4-way Illertissen. However, the international AA Class standings, featuring teams from Germany, Switzerland, and the Czech Republic, delivered the tighter contest from top to bottom. The three German AA Class home teams—Paranodon's Futura 6.9, Trick and Treat, and Imparable—were separated by just two points after all ten rounds. Futura 6.9 and Trick and Treat were even tied after Round... (more)

Did you know that the Paranodon AAA Class leaderboard had more to offer than just Airbus 4-way?
posted: Jun 10th, 2026 The AAA Class competition at the Paranodon Cup in Illertissen last weekend featured more than Germany's national team in 4-way Open, Airbus 4-way Illertissen, with its current family lineup of Thomas Mack (Outside Center) and his two sons, Tim (Point) and Moritz (Video). The NSL News update on June 8th already covered this story in detail. Airbus faced little serious opposition at the Paranodon Skydiving Center. The newly available competition videos showcase the ten challenging sequences that included 21 of the 22 blocks in the current dive pool and seven 6-point rounds. The six slot-switching... (more)
