Did you know that France Maubeuge and Sebastian XL took the lead in 1999? posted: Jul 20th, 2024 France has taken the lead in the 4-way Open. Airspeed showed another weak spot in Round 4. The incomplete cat on the first page caused a costly penalty. The defending world champions had to watch France take the 1st place after four rounds. France is very eager to win Excalibur back after Airspeed took it from France in 1995. Even without the bust, France would have scored the highscore in Round 4. Now, Airspeed is really facing a tough challenge. And the simultaneously running competition in 8-way doesn't make it any easier.
The meet director is running 4-way and 8-way at the same time. Airspeed... (more)
Did you know that Lions and Cheetahs compete at the ESL Championship 2024? posted: Jul 19th, 2024 The NSL News reported on June 20th that the ESL Championship of the European Skydiving League will have a comeback this year. The last ESL Championship was held before the pandemic in 2019, and the skydiving center in Spa hosted the event.
The mentioned update pointed out that the Fallschirmsportzentrum (FSZ) Saar was the competition site of the previous ESL Championship in 2018, and Mike Pennock is hosting this year's event once again in Saarlouis. It is the same place where the dramatic 8-way battle between Airbus 8-way and Operation Adler took place last year at the German national outdoor... (more)
Did you know that five seconds can make a CISM difference? posted: Jul 18th, 2024 The NSL Live Talk conversation with NMP PCH HayaBusa on July 10th, after the completion of the CISM World Championship in Hungary, included the topic of the exit rules and procedures, which are significantly different compared to civilian FAI/ISC events.
The four active members of this year's Belgian CISM lineup (Inside Center David Grauwels, Outside Center Dennis Praet, Point Jeroen Nollet, Tail Neal Willems) shared their experiences with the NSL News audience, and newest member Ray Lodens was with his team in Hungary, as well.
NMP PCH HayaBusa's CISM videographer Koen Vangestel did not... (more)
Did you know that Arizona Airspeed were leading, DeLand Norgies and Sebastian XL tied after Round 3? posted: Jul 18th, 2024 Tomorrow the meet will be continued with 8-way competition. With three blocks to be performed, Round 3 in 4-way was the slowest sequence of the meet so far. Airspeed and France used the opportunity to put some distance between themselves and the underdog challengers. With this round, they made it very clear that no other team will be able to interfere with their private duel for the gold medal.
Airspeed had an excellent jump and added another point up over France. DeLand Norgies and Sebastian XL seem to be glued together on the scoreboard. After three rounds, they still have identical numbers... (more)
Did you know that the Virginia Parachute Council offers a second meet test before USPA Nationals? posted: Jul 17th, 2024 Today's embedded leaderboard is a small one and features the teams who took on the most recent competition draw of the NSL 4-way Network. It is a small leaderboard due to the number of completed rounds, even though a total of 19 teams actually posted at least a score for one round.
In fact, only the British 4-way teams were suffering very louzy jumping weather and held out to get the score for the one and only round. The two Czech AAA Class teams, Skywalkers Junior and M Team, made it all the way forward to Round 8, and two teams of the Virginia Parachute Council completed three rounds at Skydive... (more)
Did you know that ICL Midwest and iFLY Fort Lauderdale tied their June total? posted: Jul 16th, 2024 The same three teams at iFLY Fort Lauderdale in South Florida posted once again the scores for the six Indoor Cloud League sequences last month, 4Action (AAA/AA), Volaticus (A/RRR) and Under Construction (RR/R).
It is an interesting coincidence that the ICL Midwest team has two teams who are also posting ICL scores regularly for the same categories, CSC Constellation XP (AAA/AA) and CSC Singularity (A/RRR/RR/R).
The same four teams competed at outdoor events in the same month, as well, while they did not share the same June leaderboards and competition draws. The ICL leaderboard for the month... (more)
