Did you know that Round 8 had the only 8way random sequence since 1995? posted: Dec 12th, 2012 The NSL News continues with the aftermath coverage of the Mondial Dubai 2012 and goes back to the 8way competition where the last video update was posted after Round 7.
The new videos of Round 8 feature once again the Top 6 teams who made the second cut after Round 9. Unfortunately, only the video of the Golden Knights is missing. However, it is probably almost identical with the video of the French 8way team Aerodyne Maubeuge who tied the US Army team's 28-pointer in this round.
France was in the middle of a desperate hunt at this point in time. The French 4way team was already out of the... (more)
Did you know that Arizona Airspeed and NMP-PCH Hayabusa posted the highest world meet averages in history? posted: Dec 11th, 2012 The NSL News aftermath of the Mondial Dubai 2012 turns back to the 4way Open Class competition, which was the most exciting one of all four Formation Skydiving events. The amazing 1-point difference is the best evidence for this statement.
It is nothing new that the winner is only one single point ahead of the silver medalist in 4way. It happened in Maubeuge 2008 between Airspeed and France, and both nations were separated by only two points in Grenada 2001 and also in Lucenec 1995. There has never been a jump-off in 4way yet, and Airspeed Airspeed and NMP-PCH Hayabusa could not have been any... (more)

Did you know that both Excalibur swords travel to the USA? posted: Dec 8th, 2012 The Mondial Dubai 2012 is slowly winding down. The award ceremony for the Formation Skydiving events took place on Friday evening. No nation was able to copy the French sweep of 2010.

The latest NSL News update in the works was postponed to capture the special event.
NSL News goal was to connect CYPRES inventor Helmut Cloth, who is also present in Dubai, and Felix Baumgartner at some point in time. There was no opportunity and no chance... (more)
