posted Jun 21st, 2012 - The NSL News story on 19 June 2012 featured the Rookie Class team from Lithuania, Equinox. The June meet last weekend was the third one for Equinox in the team's first year of 4way competition, which began with a trip to the United Kingdom and the World Challenge 2012.

The NSL News has reported the history of several teams from the Netherlands with previous stories and how they progressed through the four different competition classes. The most recent story featured the history of more Dutch teams after competing at the Tomscat Trophy 2012 last weekend.

It will be interesting to follow one of the new Dutch teams from the beginning of the team career compared to looking back at the history of the teams.

Gravity Abuse is one of the two new Rookie Class teams in the Netherlands. Anke Roelofs, Bart Roelofs, Leentje Volkers and Alex Arnold, with Deyan Bakardzhiev on camera and alternate Marion Weijman, started their 4way project in a similar way as Equinox - with an indoor competition.

However, the Dutch team did not have to travel as far as the team from Lithuania to compete at the annual ISR Grand Prix 2011 in Roosendaal in November last year. There they posted their first meet average of 6.1 after eight rounds in the Rookie Class.

Gravity Abuse now followed up with the first outdoor competition and finished right behind Equinox in 2nd place of five teams on last weekend's Rookie Class leaderboard. The video shows the competition jumps and the Dutch team at the very beginning of a hopefully successful and long lasting 4way career.
