Did you know that Cross Keys teams have joined the UK leaderboard? posted: May 15th, 2012 The teams from the United Kingdom have some company now on the overall leaderboard where the scores of three teams from the MidAtlantic Skydiving League have been added.

Did you know that the host of the ESL Championship 2012 offers an 8way competition before Dubai 2012? posted: May 14th, 2012 The 2012 Formation Skydiving competition season is once again loaded with events, and it includes a meet situation that is quite unusual. The NSL News can recall only one time that the International Parachuting Commission (IPC) scheduled a World Cup and a World Championship for the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI) in the same year.
That happened in 2006 when the World Meet took place in Germany (6 - 10 August) and the Malevsky Cup (14 - 18 August) was scheduled right after it. It was the one and only time that the Malevsky Cup was officially a World Cup at the same time. The Malevsky... (more)
Did you know that twelve teams launched the 2012 outdoor season in the United Kingdom? posted: May 12th, 2012 The first scores of the weekend are posted, and they come from the United Kingdom where twelve 4way teams opened the 2012 outdoor season in Peterlee.
Kryos was the only team in the AAA Class competition and started the 2012 outdoor season almost on the same scoring level as last year. There was a significant difference though, as Kryos has stepped up from the AA Class and is dealing with the IPC Open Class dive pool now.
Kryos competed in the AAA Class for the first time at the World Challenge 2012 where five of the ten rounds had slot switchers, either in the front or in the rear piece.... (more)
Did you know that the DeLand skydiving industry presented to the Chamber of Commerce? posted: May 11th, 2012 An interesting event took place yesterday in DeLand. It was not really a skydiving event, even though it was directly and strongly related to the sport.
The DeLand Chamber of Commerce had a business meeting, and the representatives of the local skydiving industry were invited to present their strong business community to city officials and other business owners.
Host was the DeLand Clarion Hotel, and it was not the first time that the conference rooms were used for skydiving events. In fact, it was not too long ago that the opening ceremony of the Paraclete XP Outdoor Championship 2012 was... (more)
Did you know that teams from Carolina also had their season opener 12 years ago this weekend? posted: May 10th, 2012 The NSL News used a calm day before the upcoming weekend's meet storm to go back in time and check out what happened at the same time of the year 12 years before the NSL website began to archive all information, which started in 2003. The NSL News update on 10 May 2000 was a look into the future of the newly created NSL-TV. (more)
Did you know that Carolina Turbo XP follows the SDC Rhythm XP trail? posted: May 9th, 2012 Arizona Airspeed was the US national 4way team and represented the USA at the World Meets between 1995 and 2001, followed by Golden Knights (2003), DeLand Majik (2004) and DeLand Fire (2006), and has been the national team again since 2008. The NSL News had brought up the topic of a new generation of 4way teams in the USA a few times, and SDC Rhythm XP was usually the related topic.
However, the NSL News has also mentioned a new 4way generation that is even a step behind Rhythm, and the related team name of this topic has been Carolina Turbo XP. The team's career began under VTSD in 2009, just... (more)
