News Article Did you know that it is still an open gold medal game in the AA/Intermediate Class?
posted: Oct 23rd, 2006 The AA Class teams had their fastest round of the meet at the end of the first competition day. Round seven brought a sequence with four Random Formations to the table. Most of the teams used the great opportunity to improve the meet average significantly. Air Force CAD did not only improve the number of the meet average with the highscore of 26 points for this round. The Air Force team also climbed up one slot on the leaderboard. Skydive Chicago's Furies had the second place with a 1-point lead after seven rounds. (more)
News Article Did you know that Airspeed Odyssey comes back with full power?
posted: Oct 23rd, 2006 There is an interesting little story related to teams at the bottom of the AAA/Open Class field. Elsinore Select and Kaktus Hunter are next to each other and currently tied with 86 points. Kaktus Hunter is the second guest team, and the team members are Russian competitors. One of the Kaktus Hunters is Anna Panasyuk who has also been a team member of the Russian national team in the female category, Ladybirds. Elsinore Select and the Ladybirds competed with and battled against each other throughout the whole competition at the World Meet 2006 in Germany in an exciting race for the bronze medals.... (more)
News Article Did you know that DeLand Groove's Shannon Pilcher provides his first impressions?
posted: Oct 23rd, 2006 The NSL News has written a lot about Shannon Pilcher and his 4-way career, plus his engagement with the PD Factory Team in the past years. A new marketing strategy at Performance Designs has brought a lot of attention to the amazing adventures and the athletic success of the PD Factory Team members. Once again, his team is currently making the headlines, this time at the USPA Nationals 2006 in Eloy, Arizona. DeLand Groove is on top of the AAA/Open Class leaderboard after seven rounds. Shannon Pilcher made the effort to provide a summary of the first day, which is brought to the audience by his... (more)
News Article Did you know that Fastrax has a lot of energy and momentum going?
posted: Oct 22nd, 2006 The day is over for the 4-way teams after seven competition jumps. The top of the leaderboard looks very different than expected. The two Airspeed line-ups are far behind the top positions, and there is no way that Airspeed could sweep 4-way and 8-way for the first time in US history. Team Fastrax was supposed to be the obstacle in the way for the Airspeed sweep, and the well trained team surely took care of business. Things are going even better for Fastrax. The NSL News mentioned earlier that Fastrax will try to get as close as possible to the Ruusian world class team Black Cat. (more)
News Article Did you know that Fast Forward from the Northern Plains moves up the leaderboard?
posted: Oct 22nd, 2006 FiaZco broke the tie with Mass Defiance in round four. FiaZco consists of four experienced and well skilled competitors, including last year's Fastrax member Billy Andrews. Steve Johnson, Jim Klinge and Rodney Cruce complete the line-up, Tony Hathaway films the team. Mass Defiance lost two points in this race within the competition. One of these two points got lost in the judging room due to an infringement. Mass Defiance is still one point ahead of Elsinore Gravity, which will probably not last for very long since Gravity will come back up. Dallas Thunder is next on the heels of the New England...

News Article Did you know that Elsinore Gravity faced disaster in round four?
posted: Oct 22nd, 2006 Things are moving fastly in Eloy this morning, in freefall and on the ground. Round two is already complete, and the ranking order has not changed much. DeLand Groove has a good time, as it was planned, and tied the highscore for the round with Russia's Black Cat. Fastrax keeps in touch with the leaders and increases the distance to the Airspeed line-ups. Perris Fury and Elsinore Gravity perform as strongly as it was expected, as well. Both teams are closer to both Airspeed line-ups and the Golden Knights than these veterans might like it (34 - 33 - 32 - 32). This might become a 5-team race... (more)
