posted: May 5th, 2011 The International Bunny Meet has created the content for three different stories so far, and the NSL News still has to go back to the event one more time. There was another interesting and quite exciting part of the competition that did not take place in freefall. The place of this kind of action was on the ground, mostly in the area between the creeper pad and the boarding area. The four teams that competed in DeLand were split up into two different groups. The two teams from Sweden, Bardagi and CADO, were naturally closer to each other, and they also shared the same coach, Shannon Pilcher.... (more)
