Did you know that UK team Eclipse has a new record average and the Fun Flag? posted: Apr 10th, 2013 The Fun Flag had not made it from Canada to the Paraclete XP Outdoor Championship 2013. However, it was at Bodyflight Bedford for the World Challenge 2013, as the NSL News reported on 4 April 2013.
It was not really flying as usually at the outdoor meets since host Paul Mayer once again played his own game with it. He makes it visible on the DZ-TV screens with hints of the location where it can be found.
The World Challenge 2012 was the first time that the Fun Flag made it to Bedford, and the game was the same as this year - different. It created the same fun though and went through different... (more)
Did you know that seven Satori teams competed this weekend in Hibaldstow? posted: Jul 21st, 2012 Skydive Hibaldstow, host of the UK Nationals 2012 in August, hosted a test meet this weekend that attracted a total of 31 teams for a final inspection of their competition skills.
Both national 4way teams, Satori in the Open Class and Bodyflight Aerodyne Langar in the female 4way category, attended the competition. It was the second outdoor meet for Bodyflight Aerodyne Langar this year, and the national team increased the meet average from 13.3 in June to 15.7 this weekend.
Satori's scores have not been posted yet. UK's Open Class team was too busy guiding their Satori Academy teams through... (more)
Did you know that Kaizen is on the top of a leaderboard for the first time? posted: Jun 11th, 2012 The NSL News mentioned with the first update of last weekend's meets that the United Kingdom Skydiving League was heading towards new record participation at the second UKSL meet of the 2012 season. 32 teams eventually completed five rounds in Langar, and the six AAA Class teams had enough time for another jump to make it a 6-round meet at the end of the day. It was a very special meet for one team.
Kaizen was formed in 2008 when the original lineup (Rai Ahmed, Liz Ashley, Liz Cass, Jo Hawley) attended the World Challenge to launch the team project. They competed at all three UKSL meets of the... (more)
Did you know that weather interfered in Florida and in the United Kingdom? posted: Jun 9th, 2012 Today's weather map of Florida does not look too pretty. That's bad luck for the teams of the Florida Skydiving League who were supposed to get in the air for their second meet this year.
It's even more bad luck since the current momentum, caused by the monthly FSL Tunnel Kickers at iFLY Orlando is showing some outdoor results, as well. The NSL News reported on 7 June 2012 that the FSL teams and competitors were preparing for this weekend's event. Several teams were ready to post scores and increase the participation of the past years at a June meet significantly.
It does not look much better... (more)
Did you know that twelve teams launched the 2012 outdoor season in the United Kingdom? posted: May 12th, 2012 The first scores of the weekend are posted, and they come from the United Kingdom where twelve 4way teams opened the 2012 outdoor season in Peterlee.
Kryos was the only team in the AAA Class competition and started the 2012 outdoor season almost on the same scoring level as last year. There was a significant difference though, as Kryos has stepped up from the AA Class and is dealing with the IPC Open Class dive pool now.
Kryos competed in the AAA Class for the first time at the World Challenge 2012 where five of the ten rounds had slot switchers, either in the front or in the rear piece.... (more)
Did you know that the British weather struck the latest UKSL meet once again? posted: Jul 18th, 2011 NSL News correspondent in Great Britain and Kaizen member Jo Hawley reports on last weekend’s third meet of the United Kingdom Skydiving League (UKSL) and looks ahead to the World Cup 2011 and the UK Nationals 2011.
With only four weeks to go till the UK Nationals 2011, the Hibaldstow UKSL meet saw a record 32 teams take part in a wet and windy competition. Planes circled looking for holes in the clouds while competitors tried to hold their nerve. Although only three rounds were completed due to the poor weather, it has given a useful insight into what might be to come at the national championships.
