Did you know that Russia and Airspeed both had a complete 8way makeover after the 2001 showdown? posted: May 6th, 2012 The NSL News story on 27 April 2012 gave the impression that the 8way thriller between Arizona Airspeed and Russia at the World Meet 2001 in Spain was the ultimate showdown possible at a skydiving competition.

This competition draw is neither related to this weekend nor to next week, and it is a strange one, with only one round for each competition class.
The new competition draw for the 1-round meet is not alone as a new feature on the NSL website. It comes along with a new league which runs under "Virtual" on the menu. The virtual league runs actually under "Little Cloud Skydiving", a 4way project that was launched by Northern Plains Skydiving... (more)
