Did you know that the best skydiving jokes and funny stories will be rewarded with free NSL Gloves? posted: Apr 1st, 2007 The NSL News is usually a quite serious affair. Goal is to provide accurate and up-to-date information, which is based on facts, numbers, interviews, videos and feedback coming in through all kinds of communication tools. It is also the information center for the network of 4-way competition leagues and Formation Skydiving events.
Once in a while, the NSL News stories are made of information that lets the visitor probably smile or even laugh. However, the purpose of the NSL website's information service is not really to amuse the audience.
Humor and fun is still one of the biggest components... (more)
Did you know that Round 6 was the roughest round of the competition? posted: Mar 30th, 2007 Round 6 of the FSL Shamrock Showdown 2007 was the roughest round of the competition. Round 1 had only a total of three infringements, Round 3 had four formations that didn't count. Rounds 2, 4 and 5 were totally clean. Then came the sequence of Round 6 (M-13-17), which kept event judge Pete Allum very busy. He found a total of nine infringements in 15 competition jumps.
The NSL-TV audience is once again invited to check the meet videos for these rough spots. The Chicas from Germany and DeLand Groove lost two points each, the Golden Knights, Optic Nerve, Golden Leaf, Tunnel Chaos and FSC Wind... (more)
Did you know that Team Elan prepares in Spain for the World Challenge 2007? posted: Mar 29th, 2007 The NSL News story on January 9 surprised the audience with an update from Great Britain. Three reigning Airkix 4-world champions in FAI's female category, Julia Foxwell, Amanda Kemp and Emma Beyer, had formed a new line-up with a new name. Tarnya Hollis was now flying in the Point position for "Team Elan". Former Airkix member Claire "Sparky" Scott joined Bodyflight Storm.
Team speaker Emma Beyer had mentioned for the January article that it was not clear by then how much the new line-up would be able to train. Team Elan was busy preparing for the 2007 season in the meantime, and the efforts... (more)
Did you know that Round 5 was the turning point of the FSL Shamrock Showdown 2007? posted: Mar 28th, 2007 Airspeed Odyssey apparently likes Block 14 (Bipole - Bipole) and picks up speed and scoring points when the sequence requires a lot of individual flying. Round 5 (H-14-L-P) of the FSL Shamrock Showdown 2007 was very similar to Round 8 (14-9-C) at the Valentine's Meet 2007. The scores were similar, as well (27 - 26).
The 27-pointer in DeLand also had a similar impact compared to the 26-pointer in Eloy. Airspeed added three points distance to France Maubeuge with the score of Round 8 in February. The 27-pointer of Round 5 in DeLand won two points over the Golden Knights and turned the 1-point... (more)

Did you know that the Golden Knights took the lead in Round 4? posted: Mar 26th, 2007 Round 4 of the FSL Shamrock Showdown 2007 offered the first prizes of the Skins Game. It was no big surprise that Team Fastrax walked away with the first $150 cash and five $60 certificates, as the NSL News story on March 23 already explained the situation after Round 3.
Alti-2 provided the discounts for company products, while the DeLand Center for Aesthetic Dentistry sponsored the $150 cash for the winner of Round 4 and also offered each team member a tooth whitening treatment with a value of $400 each. (more)
