posted Feb 8th, 2012 - NSL-TV has put together an eye candy for the audience and features all ten rounds of Arizona Airspeed at the Paraclete XP Indoor Championships 2012.

It is arguably the best performance that this lineup has delivered so far, and it may also be the best performance in 4way history. The 30.0 average is not the highest result at a competition, neither indoor nor outdoor. The top averages at the World Challenge 2010 by Aerodyne Aerokart, XL and NMP-PCH Hayabusa (30.5 - 30.4 - 30.1) plus Hayabusa's 30.5 average at the World Challenge 2011 were higher. However, there was a major difference at those events, as they included a Super Sequence with only random formation, which drove the meet averages significantly upwards.

Airspeed's 30.0 average last weekend would surely be above the 31.0 average level with such a Super Sequence in the draw. Hayabusa came the closest to a 30.0 average without a Super Sequence at last year's Aerokart Indoor Championship. The Belgian 29.8 average after the 10-round meet was only two points behind Airspeed's 30.0 average.

Arizona Airspeed Rounds 1 to 10 - NSL Talk with Arizona Airspeed

Another video clip features a new NSL Talk with Arizona Airspeed where the Paraclete winners explain how they tried to be on a higher arousal level this time. The interview took place after the completion of the competition, and neither Airspeed nor the NSL News knew by then that it was a 30.0 and not a 29.9 average.

The Airspeed members said that they learned from last year's lessons at the meets they attended after the last really competitive event in Bedford, including the USPA Nationals 2011. There was not much competition, and Airspeed did not feel enough pressure to push the limits. France and Belgium did exactly that in the meantime and raised their scoring and performance level by pushing each other.

Mark Kirkby said that he was telling himself before each jump that his team is actually behind to create his own pressure on himself. His team mates had similar ways how to stimulate themselves for peak performances. They all still agreed that there is more to come and that they keep raising the bar for the Airspeed performance. Imaginary pressure will not be necessary at the upcoming Shamrock Showdown 2012 where France and Belgium will provide what Airspeed is looking for: Serious and tough competition.
