Did you know that this weekend's meet brings back memories of 1998? posted: Apr 22nd, 2011 The upcoming competition in DeLand, the FSL International, features several teams who have recently been absolving their spring training. Two teams from Sweden, including top contender Bardagi, Bodyflight Atlas from Sweden and the German top team Final Four are eager to post some scores and show the results of the training efforts.
The NSL News was looking into archives, which are not in the current database that begins in 2003, to see what happened on the same weekend at the very beginnings of the National Skydiving League. The Florida Skydiving League held its 9th meet of the 1997/1998 season,... (more)
Did you know that the sequence of Round 10 was the ultimate Tail challenge? posted: Apr 21st, 2011 The Top 10 videos of Round 10 conclude this part of the aftermath of the World Challenge 2011.
It was another slow sequence, in fact the second slowest sequence of the competition, which followed the slowest one of Round 9. No changes were expected any longer for the money slots, and NMP-PCH Hayabusa pocketed the £5,000 for the 1st place easily. Arizona Airspeed won £3,000 and Aerodyne Aerokart Maubeuge took the £2,000 for the 3rd place. XL still got £1,000 for the 4th place.
However, there were still two open 1-point battles, as the NSL News reported yesterday: SDC Rhythm XP vs. SportsLotto... (more)
Did you know that the scores of Round 9 created two 1-point battles? posted: Apr 20th, 2011 Back to the World Challenge 2011 and the Top 10 videos of Round 9, which had the slowest sequence of the competition.
The three blocks would once again make it very difficult for any of the Top 4 teams to make a serious move. Nothing happened eventually, even though NMP-PCH Hayabusa lost two points in the judging room. Arizona Airspeed could only reduce the distance to the Belgians by one point, and Aerodyne Aerokart Maubeuge's next sole highscore did not change a thing in the standings.
The rankings of the Top 4 teams were in stone, and the sequence of Round 10 did not offer the potential... (more)

Did you know that Round 8 was the cleanest one for the Top 10 teams at the World Challenge 2011? posted: Apr 19th, 2011 Back to the World Challenge 2011 where it is time for the Top 10 videos of Round 8.
The adjusted leaderboard with the marks and numbers for the point deductions is the same as it was after Round 7. This is not a mistake, the Top 10 teams did not have any infringements marked on their score sheets. It was the cleanest round of the meet so far.
Once again, it did not change much in the Top 10 rankings. NMP-PCH Hayabusa and Arizona Airspeed neutralized each other. Aerodyne Aerokart Maubeuge secured the 3rd place, and SportsLotto got a little bit closer to SDC Rhythm XP, while NPC Aerokart Maubeuge... (more)
