Did you know that the NSL News begins with updates of the NSL Profiles? posted: Dec 19th, 2010 The NSL Profile of the former French national competitor, national coach and national manager, Jerome David, is a long and colorful one. It is almost a complete story of top competition in Formation Skydiving history since 1986.
It is still far from complete, as many of the other profiles need updates, as well. There is a good reason why the NSL News begins the series of updates with the Frenchman who just retired from his job as the national manager of Formation Skydiving after being promoted to a new job in the French skydiving federation.
Jerome David guided the French FS teams to the... (more)
Did you know that Bu Defiance and DeLand Shmeland XP had a great battle last weekend? posted: Dec 18th, 2010 The NSL leaderboard of the 2010 season still needed another update. The indoor competition at SkyVenture New Hampshire has now changed the team names on the front page one more time and added new numbers to the wind tunnel pages.

However, the NSL News takes a closer look at the AAA Class leaderboard now, as the names of the four teams are well known in the US 4-way world. Three of the four teams came back after... (more)

Did you know that Texas team Hot Flash peaked at the NSL Championship 2010? posted: Dec 16th, 2010 Georgia Tech team GT Wreckless was not alone in the A Class competition at the NSL Championship 2010.
Four young ladies from Texas (Angelee Jones - Center Outside, Kara Latimer - Tail, Lori Mitchell - Center Inside, Marian Sparks - Point) and videographer Jason Scarf had also made their way to DeLand for the 4-way competition at SkyQuest 2010 in November and competed for Hot Flash.

Did you know that SDC Rhythm XP attended seven meets this year? posted: Dec 15th, 2010 The NSL News story on 1 December 2010 completed the NSL-TV coverage of the race for bronze medals at the USPA Nationals 2010 between the Golden Knights, Paraclete XP4 and SDC Rhythm XP.

This year's USPA gold and silver medalists both would not continue with the same lineups and had their first personnel changes, Airspeed since 2007 and Fury since the team was formed in 2005.
It was somehow coincidence that the NSL News packaged the videos of the... (more)
