Did you know that Joe Kittinger visited SkyQuest Florida on Saturday?
posted: Nov 17th, 2012 Once again, the Kaleidoscope Divers did not get much jumping on Saturday at SkyQuest Florida 2012. The weather forecast was not very good at all, and the meteorologists were correct this time - concerning the big way fans. BJ Worth called his group to action in the morning when the skies offered enough space for a 110way Star. The first attempt was promising but not successful. The World Team leader had actually planned to make a few 60way warmup jumps with all Kaleidoscope Divers, which did not materialize due to the weather situation. He had to go straight to 110ways when the weather allowed... (more)

Did you know that there is a 5-team race in the A Class at the NSL Championship 2012?
posted: Nov 16th, 2012 The second day of SkyQuest Florida 2012 did not bring much better weather to the Kaleidoscope Divers than it was on Thursday. The teams in training, including the French national 8way team Aerodyne Maubeuge, had no problems with the partly cloudy skies and jumped all day long. The bigway formations require much bigger holes and clear skies for safety reasons, and the Kaleidoscope Divers had to watch the teams make jump after jump while being grounded. One 60way group made the planned warmup jump when there was enough space between the clouds. That was it for the day. Kaleidoscope Diver Gordon... (more)

Did you know that the French 8way team went swamping in DeLand?
posted: Nov 15th, 2012 The last training camp of the French delegation in DeLand overlaps for a few days with the Kaleidoscope Dives of SkyQuest Florida 2012. Both groups are not very lucky with the weather at the moment. There was not much 8way training on Wednesday, and the first bigway activities of SkyQuest 2012 on Thursday have been only dirtdives and preparations on the ground so far. Aerodyne Maubeuge or any other teams have been looking at foggy skies, as well. The French 8way team's bad luck began on Tuesday when a brandnew parachute was lost in the swamps after a cutaway. The French competitors did not... (more)

Did you know that Paraclete XP's Kirk Verner and John D'Annunzio focus even more on 8way?
posted: Nov 14th, 2012 The three LeMay brothers (Martin, Vincent, Benoit) of the Canadian national 4way team Evolution were not the only 4way competitors who attended the USPA Nationals 2012 in two different 4way events, traditional 4way and VFS 4way. Former Arizona Airspeed videographer Will Pesek did the same and turned out to be even more successful in his double-duty challenge. Paraclete XP4 and XP8 members Kirk Verner and John D'Annunzio gave their 4way team mate great credit for his performance in traditional 4way in a live NSL Talk after the end of the 8way competition. XP4 finished in 5th place with a 19.0... (more)

Did you know that 120way world records and broken golf clubs make for interesting skydiving activities?
posted: Nov 13th, 2012 Very different activities were going on in DeLand at the beginning of this week. Several teams continued with their training camps having the Mondial 2012 in their minds. The French national 8way team Aerodyne Maubeuge started their training, while NMP-PCH Hayabusa took a break. Their 4way opponents from France are done with this event and have switched to 8way. Hayabusa finished the recent part of the last training camp with an excursion into freeflying. The NSL News could not convert the original video footage into a format that would work, and YouTube did not handle the same footage much... (more)

Did you know that 21.9 seems to be an ominous number for the best 8way teams?
posted: Nov 12th, 2012 It is quite amazing how the best 8way teams in the world have been shying away from the 22.0 average benchmark this year. Of course, no team is planning to do that, however, it seems so difficult to get to the 22.0 average level for many reasons. The Golden Knights finished two times one point short of 220 points in a 10-round meet. The meet average at the Paraclete XP Outdoor Championship 2012 was 21.9 for the US Army's 8way lineup. Sky Panthers Barkli from Russia posted a 19.1 average at the same event, and the NSL News mentioned earlier that both teams finished with exactly the same... (more)
