Did you know that Paratec-Saar won the first medals for Germany in the history of modern 4way competition?
posted: Aug 11th, 2011 Last not least, NSL-TV launches the video aftermath of the 4way Open Class competition at the World Cup 2011. The video features Round 1 of the teams that survived the second cut and made it to the final round, plus one more team. The German 4way team Dynamite did not make it to Round 10, despite being ahead of Sweden's national team Bardagi by one point after Round 9. Only the best six teams qualified for the final round of the World Cup, including two Russian teams. Bardagi was in 7th place but still made it to Round 10 in the European Championship where only one team per nation is eligible... (more)

Did you know that NSL-TV features Round 1 and 2 of the female 4way competition?
posted: Aug 10th, 2011 NSL-TV now switches to the 4way competition in the female category at the World Cup 2011 and features the competition videos of all five teams in the first two rounds. Once again, the new leaderboard also includes the penalties in those two rounds and brings back to memory Round 9 in the 8way event. All female 4way teams had a clean Round 2 and lost a total of seven points in Round 1. Three of the seven point deductions were due to "camera angle / grip visibility", as the official score sheets show. Norway's national team Polaris lost the exit point, a Murphy Flake (C), and Bodyflight Aerodyne's... (more)

Did you know that 45 minutes can make a big difference?
posted: Aug 9th, 2011 Almost 100 NSL judges made an on-line call for the 8way situation in Round 9 at the World Cup 2011. The majority (57%) thought that the last 7 seconds of the Golden Knights video have enough visibility to approve a scoring. 43% did not see enough of the formations and maneuvers. The ending on a sour note eventually turned into a happy end when French 4way and 8way member Emmanuel "Manu" Sarrazin posted a note in the poll's forum and acknowledged that the Golden Knights deserved the gold medals: "Hello, the GK was the fastest team in Round 9, their jump was more fluid and they had two more...

Did you know that Free Radical Miles Hubbard made his 15,000th skydive at the NPSL July meet?
posted: Aug 7th, 2011 The Northern Plains Skydiving League finally had good weather for a whole meet as teams and competitors returned to Westside Skydivers for the 3rd meet of the year. Many of the teams took advantage of a beautiful Friday evening and the Grand Caravan to get some practice jumps in. Most notably, Fourcast had a 33-point practice round. Was this possibly a sign that they would end HTH's long winning streak? NPSL Director Mike Betz reported from Westside Skydivers.

Did you know that the 8way competition ended on a sour note?
posted: Aug 7th, 2011 The 8way competition for the gold medals between Aerodyne Maubeuge and Golden Knights was the most contested event. Round 10 was supposed to be the Grande Finale of the whole World Cup 2011. It turned out differently. The weather did not cooperate any longer for the whole Saturday. The two missing 4way rounds were completed in the morning and before the weather situation began to deteriorate. It became quite obvious that Round 10 would not happen any longer when a big storm came in. In fact, the 8way teams just completed Round 9, literally by the second, as the Golden Knights had almost exactly... (more)

Did you know that the Brit Chicks have turned from red to black?
posted: Aug 6th, 2011 It is time to introduce the most popular team of the World Cup 2011 and the team that may even have most of the fun at the same time. Most likely, the Brit Chicks are the most popular team because they have so much fun. The NSL News had the Brit Chicks on the list for NSL Talk for a while, and the opportunity came up yesterday during one of the many weather delays. The lineup includes Jo Hawley who has provided the NSL News with updates from the United Kingdom on a regular basis. That alone was a good reason to hand over the lead of the conversation to her. Lesley Gale is the team captain... (more)
