Did you know that Founding Fathers and Teiwaz synchronized their jump preparations? posted: Jul 4th, 2010 The NSL News mentioned a special technique of the Founding Fathers' jump preparation in the story on 23 June 2010. It was actually an observation by meet judge Steve Miller who provided the meet story for the SCSL June meet:
"Founding Fathers John Hamilton and Dan BC recruited Todd Hawkins from Eloy/Paraclete and 2008 world champion in the female category, Hanna Betts, with a promise of no creeping for the day."
It was obviously coincidence that the same meet weekend featured two teams with the same technique for jump preparations, Founding Fathers on the west coast, Teiwaz on the east coast.... (more)

Graced with blue skies and perfect 75 degree skydiving weather, Elsinore was a fantastic host with the awards ceremony finished and the adult beverages flowing well before sunset.
With no AAA Class teams competing, the highlight of the day was in the A Class as the Royal Air Force Demo teams battled it out. Having learned the dive pool only two weeks ago and competing in their first ever 4-way meet, the 7.1 and 7.6 averages of these two teams were... (more)

Did you know that once you got it, you always got it? posted: Jul 13th, 2009 Last weekend's scores have already been replaced by the first numbers from Denmark where this year's national championships are in full swing. This does not mean at all that last weekend's leaderboard is complete. It will still be updated as soon as more scores are coming in.
It's an interesting battle in Denmark where the national team Voluntas tries to leave the dominating team of the past years behind, the DaneZ. It doesn't work so far, however, there are five more rounds to come, and the weather forecast is great. At the same time, the national B-Team Sequence has kept up very well, and... (more)
