Did you know that the Texas Skydiving League was launched in 1997? posted: May 18th, 2021 Yesterday's Spaceland Toxix update, which covered the 2021 season opener of the Texas Skydiving League, reached quite far back in time, as far as Demo McDonnell and Rich Delgado at the beginnings of their 4-way careers.

Did you know that Scott Latinis wrapped up the Texas season opener? posted: May 1st, 2021 The Texas Skydiving League 2021 season is off to a tremendous start. Meet #1 was hosted by Spaceland San Marcos. Due to the corona virus crisis, last year's event was postponed from April to August. Having the event in April this year was just another step back towards "normal".
Eleven teams, spread across all four NSL divisions, were in attendance. This was the highest participation at any TSL meet since 2015.
The days prior to the meet saw rain, rain, and more rain. Yet, Saturday was beautiful as if Mother Nature decided that she would reward such a great attendance with almost perfect... (more)

TSL Director Scott Latinis managed to run the three events that he had planned for this year, despite the problems that the corona virus pandemic brought to the sport.
He launched the 2020 season significantly later than usual, and the participation was still only slightly lower.
