Did you know that Airspeed veteran Craig Girard commented the 8-way situation before his team's first jump?
posted: Aug 7th, 2006 Monday morning offered a nice surprise for participants and event management. Despite a weather forecast that was not very promising the sun was shining, and the skies were clear enough. Load one was scheduled for 7:00 am, and it took off at the planned time. The planes were loaded with teams of the 8-way competition, 4-way Women and the artistic events. NSL-TV is ready to capture the first jumps and will also have a nice surprise for the NSL audience. All meet jumps will be linked directly to the scores on a high quality level. The new partnership with RealXstream.com made this possible. The... (more)

Did you know that a new NSL-TV video presents the competition draw and more?
posted: Aug 6th, 2006 It has been quiet for a little while, and there have been good reasons for a short break of the updates and not so good ones. First of all, to begin with the bad news, it is currently raining in Gera. The NSL News will get to the good news later today. The rain began already on Saturday, which was supposed to be a training day. The teams and the management succeeded in getting planes in the air as long as the weather allowed any jumping. The judges had the opportunity to test the Omniskore judging system, while the German technicians installed the home made DZ-TV. Several training jumps were... (more)

Did you know that chances for a sweep are little this time?
posted: Aug 5th, 2006 The NSL News found the Fun Flag last year at the Malevsky Cup 2005 when a secret meeting with the Canadian team Stratosfear was successfully arranged. The NSL News story on July 11, 2005, provided the confidential insider information. NSL-TV was even able to present a video of the official rising of the Fun Flag, which is still available for viewings (click here). The NSL News had the Fun Flag on its agenda for the World Meet 2006, and the story begins early. The search for the Fun Flag was already successful, and it has still been in possession of the Canadians ever since the Malevsky Cup.... (more)

Did you know that there are familiar names in some of the line-ups?
posted: Aug 4th, 2006 The NSL News met Solly Williams earlier today when the NSL-TV was on the first sight-seeing tour at the competition site, and an appointment for an interview was made. The video of this new NSL-TV interview can now be viewed by clicking here. Solly Williams is one of the five reigning 4-way world champions of DeLand Majik. The team will not try to defend the gold medals, only DeLand Fire member Gary Smith has the chance to bring Excalibur, the world meet trophy, back to DeLand. (more)

Did you know that NSL-TV invites the audience for a short sight-seeing tour?
posted: Aug 4th, 2006 The weather was much better yesterday compared to the forecast in Germany. Many teams used the unexpected opportunity to get familiar with the air over the competition site. The new Russian 4-way champion, Sky Panthers Barkli, arrived yesterday and made a few jumps, as well. It gave the NSL News the opportunity to finally replace the previous picture on the team page. The old team picture was just a collage of four individual portrait images, put together on the computer. The new team picture is a real one and was taken on competition site in Gera. The Sky Panthers Barkli are still on top of... (more)

Did you know that the German event manager is a former world meet competitor?
posted: Aug 3rd, 2006 Wednesday at the competition site of the FAI World Meet 2006 in Gera, Germany, ended like every other day. Teams and competitors mixed up in the crowd for the social part of the event. It was coincidence that some of the tallest competitors in the world were at the same place at the same time and close to the NSL camera. From left to right: Ian Bobo (DeLand Fire), Gary Smith (DeLand Fire), Solly Williams (DeLand Majik), Henning Stumpp (FSC Remscheid 8-way), Craig Girard (Arizona Airspeed), Shannon Pilcher (DeLand Fire). Their three teams have been in Gera for a few days already to make the... (more)
