Did you know that the Midwest is producing a new top team? posted: Jul 1st, 2008 It is probably the first time in the history of the Midwest Skydiving League that a team from this region is holding the top position of the AAA Class leaderboard with an international field. CSC Rhythm XP is currently in 1st place of ten teams with a 15.0 average.
Brian Ball (Center Inside), Laurent Beaudouin (Tail), Janette Lefkowitz (Center Outside), Steve Lefkowitz (Point) and Kevin Naftzger (Camera) were already very close to the same spot on the May 31 weekend when 13 teams competed in an international field of AAA Class teams.

Did you know that weather and gas prices make it more difficult in New England? posted: Jun 30th, 2008 Four of last weekend's competitions have already provided scores and updates. It turns out so far that the weather did not cooperate much anywhere, neither in Europe nor in the USA.
The 3rd competition of the United Kingdom Skydiving League did not get any further than to half completion of Round 2. The teams of the Czech Republic Skydiving League were stopped after three rounds.
It was not much better in the USA. The Midwest Skydiving League completed only four of the scheduled six rounds. The New England Skydiving League did not even get the chance to start the meet at all.

Did you know that bad weather shortened the FSL meet at Skydive City? posted: Jun 27th, 2008 Last weekend's leaderboard shows a unique situation in the AAA Class field. Team Teiwaz appears two times on the same leaderboard, and coincidence places both lineups right next to each other.
This is not a mistake. Teiwaz actually competed with two different lineups at two different locations. Jim "Bu" Klinge, Rodney Cruce, Sean Sweeney and Kurt Gaebel competed at the Paraclete XP Money Meet 2008 in Raeford, while Derrick Thomas, Bruce Robertson, Bob Byrne and Dave Ruffell attended the June meet of the Florida Skydiving League at Skydive City.

Did you know that teams from the Netherlands swept the A Class leaderboard? posted: Jun 26th, 2008 The stongest showing of last weekend's numerous events in the USA and Europe came from the Netherlands where 4-way competition is on the same upswing that many other leagues are currently enjoying. The small European country had 23 teams competing at the annual Tomscat Trophy.
The national 4-way team Dynamic Fource finished in 8th position of the very strong 32-team AAA Class field with a 17.4 average. This first result in 2008 matches the team's highest average in August last year. Seven other Dutch teams competed in the AAA Class, as well, none of them new for the NSL News audience and on...
