posted: Aug 10th, 2005 The NSL News mentioned in the last story that an update on SkyVenture Arizona would be next on the NSL News list.

Did you know that the new Canadian champion Evolution is a family affair?
posted: Aug 7th, 2005 There was a time in Formation Skydiving competition history when Canada was one of the leading nations in the world.

During the weather hold, Tim D’Annunzio of Paraclete Armor and Equipment, a CASL sponsor, conducted an auction to benefit Liz, a Raeford packer injured in a motorcycle accident.
