posted: Sep 12th, 2007 Round 6 of the 8-way competition at the USPA Nationals 2007 is in progress. Arizona Airspeed has already secured the top position and enjoys the reunion with world-class 8-way jumps. NSL-TV uploaded another Airspeed 8-way video. Round 3 had the fastest sequence of the 8-way competition. Craig Girard said that this sequence would be fast enough for a new world record if a well trained team had the opportunity. Airspeed's team captain is still holding the current 8-way world record of 31 points, which was posted by the Golden Knights at the World Meet 1997 in Turkey. (more)

The jumping conditions were reasonable in the morning. However, the wind picked up speed, and it was only a matter of time when it would be too strong for a skydiving competition. First there were only a few weather holds on and off until the meet director eventually stopped the operation. The winds didn't slow down in the later afternoon, and no more 8-way rounds were completed. The NSL News used the time for several... (more)
