Did you know that KnightTrax plans to be competitive in 8-way? posted: Aug 31st, 2007 The first NSL News story that covered the British Nationals 2007 on August 21 mentioned that there was a mysterious team in first place after three rounds:
"Then a new surprise waited for the local and worldwide audience. The ghost team FlightSchool posted a 28-pointer for the first round and shocked the AAA Class field."
It was rather a guest team, not a ghost team, and the NSL News learned soon who was in the line-up: "The FlightSchool line-up even consisted of three British competitors, all former XL members (John McIver, Steve Hamilton, Thomas Hughes) and Niklas Hemlin."
The NSL News... (more)

Did you know that FSL teams posted new record scores on August 18? posted: Aug 28th, 2007 The NSL News story on August 20 covered barely half of the last Florida Skydiving League competition at Skydive City in Zephyrhills on August 18.
The AAA Class teams, and mainly Dreaded FooZa with the 20.0 average, caught the entire first attention of the NSL News. However, the missing videos of Round 1 have now been uploaded and show the other FSL teams in action.

Did you know that the Czech Republic had four teams above 10-average last weekend? posted: Aug 27th, 2007 New scores from the Czech Republic have already replaced the results of the UK Nationals 2007 on the frontpage.

Did you know that Phobia is far ahead of the team goals in the race for UK bronze medals? posted: Aug 25th, 2007 The scores on the current leaderboard of the UK Nationals 2007 speak their own and clear language. Team Storm dominates the AAA Class competition, and it seems quite unlikely that Team Elan will have a chance to threaten the current leader. In fact, Aardvark Zulu in still only three points behind Team Elan and could still make it difficult for the all-female line-up. There might be an option for Aardvark Zulu to possibly become the national team in the Open Class with a 2nd place this weekend if Team Storm decides to defend the British gold medals in the female category. Three more rounds will... (more)
