The two British all-female line-ups of Team Storm and Team Elan are ready to compete for the British Open Class slot at next year's World Championship of Formation Skydiving in France. Both teams together include all four reigning world... (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)

Did you know that Italy wins the third 8-way day over Germany so far?
posted: Aug 9th, 2007 The competition in Russia is not over yet. The 8-way event is still in full swing. There is not as much excitement in the race for the gold and silver medals as it was in the 4-way Open competition. France Maubeuge and Russia are far away from each other in first and second place, and the other teams have no chance to catch up with them. There is still a tight competition going on between Italy and Germany for the bronze medal position though. Italy had won the first two rounds on Monday and was up by four points over Germany. However, Germany's EADS team came back with vengeance on Tuesday... (more)
