Did you know that UK team Raykipo connects Rookie and A Class leaderboards of 2011? posted: May 8th, 2011 The first 6-round outdoor competition in the United Kingdom has been completed successfully and somehow surprisingly since the weather forecast was not very promising. The final scores will be posted later today.
The NSL News first goes back to the A Class competition at the World Challenge 2011 where four of the five teams were from the United Kingdom. The NSL News reported on 5 April 2011 how Kinetix from Ireland had outscored the British teams.

Did you know that UK team Eclipse increased the average by a point a week? posted: Jun 19th, 2010 Team Eclipse is a new team taking on the A Class in the United Kingdom Skydiving League. Eclipse finished second with an 8.7 average at the first UKSL meet of the 2010 season. Fast forward four weeks to the second UKSL meet last weekend, and Eclipse finished second again, this time with a 12.7 average though.
The team had worked hard to produce this improvement, and there is probably the potential to go even faster. Eclipse was formed following the UK Nationals 2009 in which three team members had entered as a scratch team and had been so pleased with the results that they decided to continue... (more)
Did you know that UK's 4-way scores were far more impressive than in Football? posted: Jun 17th, 2010 The second meet of the United Kingdom Skydiving League 2010 season was held at the Cark dropzone in the north west of England. 17 teams made the journey to Cark, and for the second time this season it was the junior categories that were most popular with seven teams registering for the Rookie Class, eight in the A Class and two in AA.
The high numbers of junior teams entering UKSL meets illustrates how accessible 4-way competition is in the United Kingdom and points to a high future standard, as competitors move up to the more senior ranks.
There was some scepticism before this meet from... (more)
