Did you know that the Golden Knights are challenging their own 22.4 world record average? posted: Oct 31st, 2012 It's time to turn full attention to the 8way competition at the USPA Nationals 2012. Three rounds were completed on Tuesday after the 4way competition was concluded, the remaining seven rounds will most likely be completed today.
One of the main topics for the NSL News is the question whether the Golden Knights will be able or not to finally erase the still standing 22.4 record average that the US Army lineup of 1997 posted at the World Meet 1997 in Turkey. It looks promising after Round 5, even though the competition draw does not include any outstanding fast sequences. It will most likely... (more)

Golden Knights 4way coach Brian "BK" Krause was probably more nervous than the team when it came to the last round. The NSL News was with him out in the landing area when the team came back from Round 9. Nothing had changed, as both teams tied the round with 17-pointers. Round 10 would bring the final conclusion for the bronze medals.
The NSL News also tried to capture Arizona Airspeed after landing from Round 9. Airspeed is prepared now for... (more)

It was a dramatic finish, and the crowd had a good reason to get excited.
Arizona Airspeed's excellent 37-pointer and Evolution's 33-pointer fell behind the cheers for the finish between DNR and Golden Knights. DNR went into the last round one point ahead of the US national team in the female 4way category and was never behind throughout the whole meet. However, DNR could never shake off the Golden Knights and offered... (more)

Did you know that there is drama in all running 4way categories at the USPA Nationals 2012? posted: Oct 29th, 2012 Seven rounds have been completed in all three 4way Formation Skydiving competition categories at the USPA Nationals 2012, and it is exciting and interesting all around.
SDC Rhythm XP managed to win a round over Arizona Airspeed, and it was the first time that this happened between those two teams in Round 4. It required some help by Airspeed who lost four points, which is very unusual too. Rhythm was still clean all the way through Round 4.
Airspeed answered once again without hesitation and left Rhythm far behind and in the dust 90 minutes later. The 34-pointer in Round 5 was like from another... (more)
Did you know that DNR is challenging the Mass Defiance record average? posted: Oct 29th, 2012 SDC Rhythm XP could not repeat the sensational meet opener and had to allow Arizona Airspeed to show everybody who is the boss in Eloy. The US national team had actually tied the first round only due to a point deduction. Rhythm had three clean rounds so far and showed again in Round 3 that they are closing the gap, slowly and steadily.
The NSL Reality TV camera captured a lot of the morning action. It was very different compared to the same time and the same place on Sunday morning. The first call for Load 1 came at 6:45 and before the sun rose from behind the mountains on the eastern side... (more)
