Did you know that Bardagi videographer Niklas Rodensjö delivers eye candy? posted: Apr 24th, 2011 The three Scandinavian teams at the International Bunny Meet were not the only ones competing this weekend. Three other teams from Norway and Bodyflight Atlas from Denmark attended the Viking Challenge in Perris. In fact, it was almost an exclusively Scandinavian affair, as Finland opened the 2011 season at the same time.
Germany's Final Four DeLand was the only team that is not from Scandinavia. This weekend's constellation is pure coincidence, as the hosts of those three meets scheduled their events independantly from each other.
The NSL News covered the DeLand event live at the competition... (more)
Did you know that the International Bunny Meet is in full swing? posted: Apr 23rd, 2011 The International Bunny Meet of the Florida Skydiving League is on its way in DeLand, and it features four teams from three different countries, Sweden (Bardagi, CADO), Germany (Final Four) and Denmark (Bodyflight Factum).
The name of the event is obviously related to the date of the event on the Easter weekend, and it expresses some hope at the same time that there might be a jackpot in the future, as the Shamrock Showdown has it in March every year. However, the Skins Game for other prizes takes place anyway.
The European teams have scheduled their training camps in DeLand around the Easter... (more)
Did you know that this weekend's meet brings back memories of 1998? posted: Apr 22nd, 2011 The upcoming competition in DeLand, the FSL International, features several teams who have recently been absolving their spring training. Two teams from Sweden, including top contender Bardagi, Bodyflight Atlas from Sweden and the German top team Final Four are eager to post some scores and show the results of the training efforts.
The NSL News was looking into archives, which are not in the current database that begins in 2003, to see what happened on the same weekend at the very beginnings of the National Skydiving League. The Florida Skydiving League held its 9th meet of the 1997/1998 season,... (more)
Did you know that Fastair met Airspeed at the Shamrock Showdown? posted: Apr 11th, 2011 The April issue of the Blue Skies Mag included a new piece of the "Turning Points" series. It is the fourth contribution from the Formation Skydiving competition community for the comprehensive Blue Skies Mag coverage of the whole skydiving world.
The January article had introduced the new Arizona Airspeed lineup and speculated of the team's potential.

Did you know that the Shamrock videos of Round 10 come with the penalty leaderboard? posted: Mar 31st, 2011 The NSL News has arrived at Bodyflight Bedford and sets up for the live coverage of the World Challenge 2011.
In the meantime, the new 2011 database has been added to the NSL Archives, which will now allow updates of the 2011 Calendar of Events with all meet dates. However, this task will have to wait until after the World Challenge.

All videos of Round 9 have been uploaded and are available for reviews now. The travel from DeLand to Bodyflight Bedford will make it more difficult to upload the videos of Round 10 timely. However, the NSL News will try to get it done before new videos from Bedford will be next.
The coverage begins earlier, not only Saturday morning. Teams are arriving and training, and there is always more than enough action to keep the NSL News busy. Two... (more)
