Did you know that John Kretzschmer is the new Center Outside for Cosmic Debris? posted: May 25th, 2012 The NSL News reported on 18 May 2012 that the teams of the Northern Plains Skydiving League got ready for their season opener last weekend. It also included the preview of a movie in the works, "Beyond the Thrill".
The story on 19 May 2012 was a live update from Skydive Twin Cities, host of the first NPSL meet this year. The windy weather did not allow the completion of all six rounds, however, the NSL News came back with a lot of footage of competition jumps and other meet activities.
The aftermath begins with the competition videos of the team that the NSL News introduced with the first... (more)
Did you know that Equinox brings back Lithuania to the international 4way map? posted: May 24th, 2012 The last scores that completed the current overall leaderboard came from Lithuania. Equinox took the 1st place in the Rookie Class where two other teams from Florida had posted scores, as well.
Teams and competitors from the country in Northeastern Europe, a former part of the Soviet Union that declared independence in 1990, had observed and followed the activities of the international NSL Network for a while.
Rookie Class team Equinox eventually prepared the participation by committing FAI Judge Jurate Janusauskiene to help the team's entry last weekend.
Equinox, and hopefully a few other... (more)
Did you know that Arizona Airspeed is currently the #1 - or not? posted: May 23rd, 2012 The latest NSL News contribution for the Blue Skies Mag and the "Turning Points" column was written after the Paraclete XP Outdoor Championship 2012 and before the World Challenge 2012.
The results of both events are well known, and the NSL News live coverage brought the web traffic to new peaks during those two most exciting 4way competitions. The article made the point that it seems to be impossible to predict who of the three top contenders from USA, France and Belgium might win the gold medals at the World Meet 2012.
The results of the World Challenge 2012 provided the evidence for this... (more)
Did you know that the indoor and outdoor combination in Florida shows results? posted: May 22nd, 2012 Teams from Florida also contributed to last weekend's leaderboard, which is now complete.
A total of 29 teams competed in all four competition classes, with Florida teams in three of them.
A Class teams Z-Hills Commandos and Miami Exuberance both attended their second meet of the 2012 season, as well as DeLand Higgs Boson in the A Class.
Most Zunday members knew each other from previous FSL events in 2011 and have been visiting the FSL Tunnel Kickers at iFLY Orlando on a regular basis. Finally, the team from Skydive City recruited the first lineup for the 2012 season and joined Higgs Boson... (more)
Did you know that two USPA medalists of 2011 battled with each other last weekend in Texas? posted: May 21st, 2012 The NSL News reported on 16 May 2012 that the Northwest Skydiving League is resuming the 4way activities this year. The Texas Skydiving League is also back in the NSL Network with four separate meets scheduled for the 2012 season. The first competition took place in Spaceland last weekend, and the scores from Texas are part of a leaderboard with multiple events (Florida, Germany, Lithuania, Northern Plains, Texas).
It is no big surprise that Spaceland Lite is on the top of the AAA Class rankings. Katrina Shows, Richard Rothery, Devon Shows and Christina West, with Cory Kossan on camera, won... (more)
Did you know that seven teams launched a promising 2012 season in Germany? posted: May 20th, 2012 New scores from seven teams in Germany have been added to this weekend's overall leaderboard. The German teams completed eight rounds, and the NSL leaderboard ranks the teams by the total number of points. Three German teams are now in the top rankings, however, the standings are misleading if the completed number of rounds are different.
NPSL team Acme was actually tied with Airfix Fehrbellin, the AAA Class leader, after six rounds. The meet average also does not provide a much better picture since the sequences for Round 7 (A,L,M,11) and Round 8 (7,G,K,J) were the fastest ones of this weekend's... (more)
