Did you know that nothing will be the same at the Shamrock Showdown 2025? posted: Mar 28th, 2025 The FAI Indoor World Championship 2025 is just around the corner, and the same counts for the Shamrock Showdown 2025. The NSL News had reported on 25 June 2024 that Paraclete XP and Skydive DeLand would offer an indoor/outdoor double-pack in April 2025.
A similar cooperation took already place between 2012 and 2015 when Paraclete XP supported the first outdoor competition of the year in Florida, after the annual Paraclete Indoor Championship in February, and the Shamrock Showdown/Paraclete XP Outdoor Championship in March at Skydive DeLand. Once again the coordination of the two events seems... (more)
Did you know that the complete new Airspeed lineup shared insights at NSL Live Talk? posted: Feb 12th, 2025 The NSL News has covered the new Arizona Airspeed lineup comprehensively ever since it became known that the personnel change would happen after the 26th FAI World Formation Skydiving Championships in October last year. The coverage included the recruiting campaign and details about the new team members once the lineup was complete.
However, the new lineup has not been visible much at all for the NSL News audience, neither in freefall nor in a flying chamber nor in conversation. Niklas Hemlin, former Airspeed member of the previous lineup, provided his insights during NSL Live Talk on 20 November... (more)
Did you know that the Czech teams had opponents from Florida? posted: Jan 21st, 2025 The AAA Class competition of the Czech Open Indoor Championship 2025 last weekend caught naturally a lot of attention, as the Czech Republic has consistently risen to become one of the 4-way powerhouses in the world's formation skydiving competition, as an event host as much as in the athletic field.
Jan Klapka's 4-way junior school has generated indoor world champions in 4-way Women and 4-way Junior, and the Skywalkers Junior team are on their way to challenge teams in 4-way Open Class medal positions indoors and outdoors in the near future. The AAA Class leaderboard deserves even more attention... (more)
Did you know that the new and promising Airbus 4-way lineup compete at the Shamrock Showdown? posted: Jan 16th, 2025 The NSL News recently covered the new lineup of the German national team in 4-way Open, Airbus 4 Illertissen. The first update on January 4th of the new year included the official team announcement and the personnel changes. The story on January 7th followed up with a related topic, as the German 4-way team has been a part of the competition for the unofficial title of the world's amateur champion in the past decade.
German 4-way teams have made the Top 10 at FAI Outdoor World Championships each time since 1989, including two 5th places in 1991 and 2004. The Airbus lineup of the last five years... (more)
Did you know that SDC Rhythm XP continue with Greg Oldendick? posted: Dec 7th, 2024 The 4th place of SDC Rhythm XP at the USPA National Championship 2024 was the team's lowest placement on the 4-way Open Class leaderboard since 2011. In fact, the progression on the annual national outdoor championships between 2009 and 2019 (6th to 1st) was flawless and perfect, while it has gone the other direction between 2019 and 2024 (1st to 4th).
The U.S. national 4-way Open Class team of 2020/2021 came naturally to their peak level when the lineup was most consistent between 2016 and 2021. Arizona Airspeed's lineup did not change at all since 2020, while SDC Rhythm XP went through several... (more)
Did you know that Alisson De Vargas and Doug Hendrix join Arizona Airspeed? posted: Nov 13th, 2024 The upcoming personnel changes in Arizona Airspeed's lineup have been one of the most discussed topics in the Formation Skydiving community, and the NSL News gave it ongoing attention, as well. However, the speculation regarding the new team members were never a part of the NSL News coverage.
Christopher Kuhlmann and Joey Marshall said during the last NSL Live Talk with Arizona Airspeed's previous lineup that they were planning to make their final selection of the two new team members in November and begin with 4-way training at the beginning of December, together with returning Airspeed videographer...
