posted Jun 3rd, 2011 - The NSL News has introduced several national teams in the female category of 4-way competition after the last World Championship of Formation Skydiving 2010 in Menzelinsk, Russia.

All three medal winners (France, United Kingdom, USA) had personnel changes at the end of the 2010 season. This counts actually for all teams in the female 4-way category, except Polaris from Norway. Several NSL News stories explained how the lineups have changed.

Today's first NSL-TV video goes back to the World Meet 2010 and features Round 9 and Round 10 of all female 4-way teams with the previous lineups. The second video shows one of the medal winners in Menzelinsk, Team Bodyflight Aerodyne, with the new lineup at the World Challenge 2011.

Several of the new lineups have already attended their first meets this year. Aerodyne Deep Blue Defenders competed at the Aerokart Indoor Championship 2011, Shamrock Showdown 2011 and the World Challenge 2011. The US Alpha Armada placed 2nd at the Dubai Championship 2011 and will probably continue with three members of the Dubai lineup.

ISB Air from Germany was planning to compete at the Shamrock Showdown, as well, and had to cancel due to Sarah Hajooze's injury. Coach Gary Smith filled her slot at the World Challenge 2011. The same Polaris linep competed in Bedford, as well, and Russia's new Illusions competed in Dubai and at the season opener in Kolomna. Now it is time to introduce the new Bodyflight Aerodyne lineup.

Tarnya Hollis, Amanda Kemp, Liz Matthews and Sarah Smith-Cannon won the silver medals for the United Kingdom in Menzelinsk last year. Amanda Kemp and Sarah Smith-Cannon now welcomed two new members who competed for Bodyflight Aerodyne for the first time at the World Challenge 2011: Rebecca and Victoria Bradley. The new lineup placed 23rd with an 18.3 average as a starter.

Team Bodyflight Aerodyne is now made up of two former world champions, Amanda Kemp (Airkix 2006) and Sarah Smith-Cannon (Bodyflight Storm 2008), and two new members, the identical twins Rebecca and Victoria Bradley.

The twin sisters trained and competed with the Jet Blondes in 2009 and won silver medals at the UK Nationals (11.8) in the AA Class competition. The Jet Blondes also attended two meets of the United Kingdom Skydiving League 2009 (11.7 - 13.8) in the same category.

The members of the new lineup have all jumped together in various guises and have known each other well before joining forces this year. Amanda Kemp was player coaching the Jet Blondes. Sarah Smith-Cannon had her time with Rebecca and Victoria Bradley in the 8-way project XStormin8 as a player coach.

The new lineup brings all team members together for the first time. Ben Cannon is filming the team. He was the videographer for XStormin8 and is an accomplished display jumper with the British Army.

Team Bodyflight Aerodyne has planned two training camps this year at Skydive Perris where Dan BC usually prepares the UK medal contenders for the competition season. The first camp was successfully completed with approx. 100 training jumps last month.

Regular tunnel training sessions follow at Bodyflight Bedford. Vigil, Cypres, Square 1 and Larsen & Brusgaard are additional supporters of the the new lineup that plans to compete at the World Cup 2011 in August and will meet the other European top contenders in the female 4-way category there.
