Did you know that the current MWSL record scores have local roots?
posted: Aug 15th, 2007 The third MWSL meet of the 2007 season took place last weekend at Skydive Chicago. Weather has been an issue for all the MWSL teams this entire season, but the weekend was very accommodating to jumping, if a bit warm. The trend of fewer teams but higher scores than in recent years continued at the meet with five teams posting what were probably the highest overall scores in the history of the Midwest Skydiving League. A special aspect of this meet was the option to do ten jumps over two days at the host DZ for next month's USPA Nationals. As an added assist to the preparation for that meet,... (more)

Did you know that the tables will turn with a different jump plane and exit?
posted: Aug 11th, 2007 Solly Williams completed his commentary of the FAI World Cup 2007 for the NSL News before the competition was actually over. The 4-way jump-off between Hayabusa Defence and France Maubeuge and the last rounds of the 8-way event were still in the works when he was already on his way back to his current home in Tampa, Florida. However, the news that Belgium had won the first gold medals spread around the world so quickly that Solly Williams even got the word while he was traveling from Russia to Florida. He was wondering on his flight what happened in 8-way since this information did not come... (more)

Did you know that leading a World Cup field was completely new for Hayabusa?
posted: Aug 10th, 2007 The FAI World Cup 2007 has just been concluded in Russia, and the new 4-way Open champion, Belgium's Hayabusa Defence, is probably still recovering from the competition pressure and the following celebration. However, Hayabusa member Roy Janssen already took the time to provide the NSL News with a meet summary and the fresh impressions from inside the team right after the competition. His insights confirm what NSL News commentator in Russia, Dr. Rainer "Exi" Hoenle, observed when Round 10 was shown on the DZ-TV screens: "Hayabusa Defence looked nervous and shaky. They could finally be glad that... (more)
