Did you know that the Blovemberfest 2012 substituted for the Blocktoberfest?
posted: Dec 24th, 2012 the Blovemberfest 2012 substituted for the Blocktoberfest The NSL News interrupts the usual daily updates with another NSL Reality TV clip, which was recorded live but is not perfectly up-to-date at this point in time. It still fits to the occasion of a holiday as it features the annual celebration of the famous Blocktoberfest. The Blocktoberfest takes place at the NSL/Blue Skies Mag Plaza in DeLand and was created a few years ago by the owners and managers of the small business operations that are located next doors to each other at 1665 Lexington Avenue. It was not really the annual... (more)

Did you know that Sweden's team Bardagi has many reasons to celebrate?
posted: Dec 23rd, 2012 The NSL News goes back to one of the topics of the past years, the unofficial Scandinavian championship at the world meets. The special, exclusively Scandinavian, leaderboard shows only the teams from the northern countries of Europe who have been a consistent and reliable, often very competitive part at the World Championships of Formation Skydiving. The Scandinavian countries with very small but passionate skydiving populations have even produced several medal winners in the past two decades. Denmark won 4way Open Class bronze medals in 1993 and 1995 and Norway in 1999, 2001 and 2003. Six... (more)

Did you know that 4way meets seem to have turned into "speed fests"?
posted: Dec 22nd, 2012 The NSL News is still not done yet with the Mondial Dubai 2012, even not after the Grande Finale with Usher and Katy Perry. In fact, there are still many topics that deserve to be covered, and the winter break will hopefully bring enough time to catch up with most of the missing aftermath. The last NSL Reality TV clip has now been uploaded, and it features another round of the Coaches Corner. The NSL News invited Gary Smith and Solly Williams to discuss the Formation Skydiving competition rules, specifically the ones related to penalties and point deductions. Gary Smith and Solly Williams... (more)

Did you know that it took pop stars like Usher and Katy Perry to match the Airspeed/Hayabusa performance level?
posted: Dec 21st, 2012 It is difficult to say what was really the Grande Finale at the Mondial Dubai 2012. It's a tough call between Round 10 in the 4way Open Class competition and the closing party with Usher and Katy Perry. Of course, those are two completely different things, and the final showdown between Arizona Airspeed and NMP-PCH Hayabusa was without doubt the most exciting part of at least the Formation Skydiving competition. The closing party was still an incredible event that almost matched the drama that the 4way Open Class competition had brought to the audience. It may sound greedy or out of proportion,... (more)

Did you know that the first FSL scores for the iFLY December showdown are strong ones?
posted: Dec 20th, 2012 The newest scores are coming once again from an indoor competition. They don't appear on the front page, as the event has a special format that does neither match the rules for the traditional outdoor nor for any indoor competition. The scores were generated by the December showdown between teams and competitors from the Florida and the Northwest Skydiving League. The Florida Skydiving League community met once again last Thursday at iFLY Orlando and launched this month's competition with the first scores on the special leaderboard. The FSL teams and competitors who represented Florida on... (more)

Did you know that the NSL News celebrates a 10-year anniversary?
posted: Dec 19th, 2012 The last NSL News contribution for Blue Skies Mag was published right after the live coverage of the USPA Nationals 2012. The results in Eloy were food for a lot of thoughts, which were also related to the Mondial Dubai 2012. The potential for a sweep in the four events of Formation Skydiving in Dubai was the topic for the second time. France did it in 2010, and an earlier article discussed the chances for a repeat sweep. The "Turning Points" column in November was a look at the situation from the other side. Eventually, neither France or the USA were able to sweep it this time, and this special... (more)
