Did you know that Jeroen "Bob" Nollet wants more HayaBusa names on Excalibur?
posted: Oct 21st, 2024 It was 14 years ago when NMP PCH HayaBusa left an outdoor world championship without a medal for Belgium in 4-way Open. As a recreational civilian 4-way team, the original lineup (Sven Ibens, Roy Janssen, David and Andy Grauwels, Bruno van den Eede on camera) had worked themselves up from nowhere to the 6th places in Rijeka 2004 and in Gera 2006. Then they joined the Belgian military forces and won their first FAI medals with the 3rd place in Maubeuge 2008, with Luc Verstrepen as the new inside center for Sven Ibens. Two years later, in Menzelinsk 2010, NMP PCH HayaBusa left empty-handed, again... (more)

Did you know that Skywalkers Junior indicated their indoor level in September?
posted: Oct 20th, 2024 It is time to mix up NSL News coverage of the 26th FAI World Formation Skydiving Championships with updates after and of other events that happened in the meantime and are going on recently. The Indoor Cloud League is active all year long with the monthly events at different locations, and the Czech team at the Hurricane Factory in Prague was the first one with scores and videos for the month of September. Skywalkers Junior were still back in September with taking care of the two ICL Open Class sequences (AAA/AA) even though they were active with outdoor training and competition at the same... (more)

Did you know that teams from China and Australia had the longest travel distances?
posted: Oct 18th, 2024 Two teams at the 26th FAI World Formation Skydiving Championships in North Carolina competed for the longest travel distance to make it to Crystal Coast Skydiving, and both teams won easily in their respective events. China's 4-way Women team traveled from eastern Asia to the U.S. east coast, and 4-way Open Class team Havoc came from Australia. China won silver medals in 4-way Women, while Havoc won the duel with Netunos from Brazil to stay away from the bottom of the leaderboard. Havoc versus Netunos was one of the many internal battles at international FAI/ISC events between teams who are... (more)

Did you know that the 4-way gender-mix has changed since Eloy 2022?
posted: Oct 18th, 2024 The combined AAA Class leaderboard has been a consistent part of the NSL News aftermath whenever there is a separate leaderboard for the 4-way Women event. Teams in 4-way Open and 4-way Women use exactly the same competition draw, and the competitors themselves are usually peaking at the other leaderboard, too. The NSL News coverage of the 26th FAI World Formation Skydiving Championships at Crystal Coast featured the combined AAA Class leaderboard during the event and in the aftermath both, last time with the update on October 14th, after the conclusion of all events. In the past years, the... (more)

Did you know that Kirk Verner is one gold medal behind Craig Girard?
posted: Oct 16th, 2024 Three "Olden Knights" members of GKXP8 (Andrew Starr, Matt Davidson, Jesse Stahler) shared their impressions and experiences with the NSL News after scoring a new 8-way world record for a single round (37) and matching the highest average in the history (23.9) of Formation Skydiving competition at the 26th FAI World Formation Skydiving Championships last week. Their team mate John D'Annunzio added to his feedback from a different perspective during the NSL Live Talk conversation with Rook Nelson on October 10th. Skydive Paraclete XP and Skydive Chicago had joined forces to host the outdoor world... (more)

Did you know that three 4-way Women teams finished in the combined Top 7?
posted: Oct 14th, 2024 The NSL News presented the first combined AAA Class leaderboard (4-way Open/4-way Women) after four rounds at the end of the first competition day. One of the main reasons to feature the combined leaderboard early was the fact that U.S. 4-way Women team XPG4 was tied with Qatar Tigers in 3rd place after Round 4, as the NSL News reported on October 7th. The 4-way Women teams had a strong presence on the combined AAA Class leaderboard at that time, placing in three of the seven highest ranking positions. They maintained this strong showing of female 4-way power until the end of the 10-round competition.... (more)
