Did you know that this weekend's events are facing weather situations?
posted: Apr 22nd, 2005 Two events are scheduled for this weekend, one in North Carolina, the other one in Indiana. The Carolina Skydiving League kicks off the 2005 season with its competition at a new CaSL location, Skydive Coastal Carolinas, while the Mideast Skydiving League has a Skills Camp on its agenda. Both events will be challenged by the weather situation in the northeastern parts of the U.S.A.

Did you know that round five of the Shamrock Showdown offered a very tight race for the highscore?
posted: Apr 21st, 2005 Round five of the FSL Shamrock Showdown 2005 was a very close race for the highest score in the AAA Class. DeLand Fire, the Golden Knights and Italy's Sinapsi PD all finished with 23 points within working time.

posted: Apr 20th, 2005 The backdrop for Meet #3 of the Southwest Skydiving League was a beautiful spring day in Eloy, Arizona. Nine four-way teams enjoyed a fast draw and the opportunity to compete with the league’s two full-time teams, Arizona Airspeed Odyssey and Arizona Airspeed Velocity. To top off the great weather and participation, a strange coincidence: round five of the draw was exactly the same jump as round three of Meet #2 on March 19th. Omniskore provided the professional judging, the staff at Skydive Arizona ran things like a clockwork, and guest meet director Andi McNew did a great job. (more)

The FSL Shamrock Showdown 2005 has only been covered until round four at this point, with six more rounds of world class 4-way competition still to come. The first round of last weekend's second FSL meet in Lake Wales hast just been uploaded, while new footage from... (more)
