The last NSL-TV show came from the USPA Nationals in Perris in September. There was no new footage available since the Perris event until the Florida Skydiving League held its
last meet of the 2005 season last weekend. The new files are slightly larger than before and offer better quality.
The FSL footage shows two new teams at work. The DeLand YaYa Sisters have not been on NSL-TV yet, and the video also offers the opportunity to watch DeLand Fire member Gary Smith as the player coach in the center inside position. He jumps the center outside slot of the front piece together with point Natasha Montgomery in his own team.
The national 4-way team of Chile in South America has never been on NSL-TV, as well. The military team decided to sign up for the AA Class since the team members have not been training the whole dive pool yet. Ejercito de Chile only competed at the military CISM events before attending the FSL meet last weekend in DeLand.
Norway's national 4-way team Arcteryxfeatures the AAA Class sequence and has already been on NSL-TV several times this year. Arcteryx finished the 6-round meet last weekend with a team record 18.8 meet average, which was also the team's inofficial average after ten rounds. Round one was a relatively slow sequence, and Arcteryx opened the meet with a very respectable 17-pointer.
The AA Class sequence for the three registered teams was different since Block 10 (Diamond - Bunyip) is not included in the AA Class dive pool and had to be replaced with a block that does not switch the piece partners. Block 6 (Stardian - Stardian) took the place and still made it a 5-point sequence for the AA Class teams. FSC Wind Damaged and DeLand YaYa Sisters both posted 10-pointers for the challenging sequence and continued to tie their scores throughout the first three rounds.
Enjoy the new NSL-TV show.
