Did you know that the unofficial 4-way amateur title could be more contended than ever at Paraclete XP?
posted: Mar 17th, 2025 The first NSL Power Rankings for the FAI Indoor World Championship 2025 were posted with the preview on March 10th. The complete list of registered national teams now allows a more realistic overview, beginning with the expected leaderboard in the 4-way Open category. There are no big surprises regarding the actual participation of countries. In fact, each of the ten countries in the Top 10 positions of the FAI Indoor World Cup 2024 have registered 4-way Open Class teams for the indoor world championship, as well. Only two of the ten national teams are not the same who competed in China last... (more)

Did you know that original HayaBusa member Sven Ibens visited Florida for a different reason?
posted: Mar 14th, 2025 The Formation Skydiving competition career of Sven Ibens has been well documented in the history of NSL News, and it includes his NSL Profile, even though he has never been a world champion as a founding member of NMP PCH HayaBusa. He stepped back when he thought that HayaBusa had the potential to win world championships with a full-time lineup. It took NMP PCH HayaBusa eight years after Sven Ibens’ retirement from high-intensity training and competition until the 2012 lineup won the first FAI outdoor gold medals for Belgium in Prostejov 2014. They did not let go of the legendary William H.... (more)

Did you know that Indoor Cloud League competitors from Texas competed in different teams at Paraclete XP?
posted: Mar 12th, 2025 Kyle Hermberg, organizer of the Indoor Cloud League team at iFLY Dallas, posted scores and videos of the six January sequences before following up with competitors from Texas at the Paraclete XP Indoor Championship 2025. He and his regular player-coach at the ICL events, Lucas King, neither joined forces in the ICL January lineups nor at the national indoor championship. As he does often, Kyle Hermberg spent his time at iFLY Dallas only with the newest participants this time, while Lucas King was player-coaching the RR Class lineup and also performed the two 4-way Open Class sequences (AAA/AA)...

Did you know that Piteraq and Skynamite had their closest battle ever in Germany?
posted: Mar 11th, 2025 German 4-way Women team Piteraq used to be the indoor version of Meltemi Oceanside Illertissen, who competed for Germany at the 26th FAI World Formation Skydiving Championships and finished in 4th place with a 17.9 average at Crystal Coast. It would actually be more accurate the other way around, as Linda Koeb, Sylvia Maier and Susa Serra launched the 4-way Women indoor team a few years earlier in 2019, with Evangelina Warich in the tail slot. Current Airbus 8-way member Carola Fietz replaced Evangelina Warich in 2020 before Petra Jastram joined both lineups, Piteraq and Meltemi, in 2021. Piteraq... (more)

Did you know that the timely transition from old to new Block 20 could make a difference?
posted: Mar 10th, 2025 The recent change in the FAI/ISC 4-way dive pool is not only requiring teams and competitors to learn and train a new block technique. The NSL News covered the impact of any rule change comprehensively on January 20th and followed up with a few more related articles. The update on February 16th added an explanation how old Block 20 (Piver - Viper) and new Block 20 (Zipper - Zipper) had different expiration and beginning dates: "FAI/ISC decided that the old Block 20 version, Piver-Viper, will still be used at the FAI Indoor World Championship 2025 at Paraclete XP in April. The new version of... (more)

Did you know that Sweden's Echochamber will be well prepared at Paraclete XP?
posted: Mar 9th, 2025 The NSL News audience may remember the NSL Live Talk with Sweden's national team in 4-way Open, Echochamber, that was recorded on 11 October 2024, after the completion of the 26th FAI World Formation Skydiving Championships at Crystal Coast in North Carolina. The headline was telling its own story of a passionate and committed 4-way team, and of team members who love to spend time for training and competition together. Team speaker Ulf Liljenback confirmed not too long ago that Echochamber will follow up on their plans for the next decade. The Swedish team is registered for the FAI Indoor World... (more)
