News Article Did you know that Round 3 is coming up next?
posted: Aug 1st, 2010 It is still difficult to catch the right screen at the right time. However, the NSL-TV camera captured another competition jump directly from the screen, and it was a good one. The Russian Sky Panthers posted a 21-pointer for Round 2, which keeps the team in touch with the Top 3. It looked after Round 1 like USA, France and Belgium would run for the three sets of medals with a 3-way. However, it seems to be difficult for Italy, Canada and United Kingdom to keep in touch with the Top 3. (more)
News Article Did you know that Aerokart Deep Blue is heading towards the 20-point club?
posted: Aug 1st, 2010 NSL-TV is not ready yet to capture any videos from the Omniskore screen yet. Hopefully, the needed cable connections will be available on Monday to bring the meet even closer to the on-line audience. The host is trying to help as much as possible, but shops are closed on Sunday in Russia. The NSL-TV camera still captured some video footage by filming the Omniskore screen. There was only enough time to get ready for two competition jumps: Aerodyne Cypres Maubeuge and Sinapsi. The quality is on a very low level, of course. However, it is better than nothing for now. The French 21-pointer tied... (more)
News Article Did you know that Shannon Pilcher expects his own 4-way world record to be broken?
posted: Aug 1st, 2010 No scores yet for the audience at the World Championship of Formation Skydiving 2010, even though the teams are already in the air for Round 2. However, the judges are in the middle of Round 1, and it shouldn't take too long for the first complete numbers for a round. It looked like Arizona Airspeed and NMP-PCH Hayabusa had a good start, as there was a 22 on the Omniskore screen for Airspeed and a 21 for Hayabusa. The other top contenders have not been judged yet. In the meantime, the NSL News met with Shannon Pilcher in the morning and before the teams boarded the plane for Round 1. This... (more)
News Article Did you know that the unique competition draw was handed out in time?
posted: Jul 31st, 2010 The last two NSL Talk sessions with Arizona Airspeed and Aerodyne Cypres Maubeuge were not the last actions of the day at the World Championship of Formation Skydiving 2010. The competition draw followed later at 5 pm. It was handed out to the teams without much excitement and ceremony, even though it is one of the most important moments of a competition. The draw can surely make a difference for any team. The NSL News plans to discuss the draw later today with Joey Jones and Solly Williams. Hopefully, there will be enough time, as the first competition jumps will keep everybody busy. The... (more)
News Article Did you know that the last NSL Talk of the day features Arizona Airspeed and Aerodyne Cypres Maubeuge?
posted: Jul 31st, 2010 The NSL Talk session with Arizona Airspeed was taking place under challenging conditions. The defending 4-way world champions were ready to make the last training jump before the start of the competition. The last jump before a meet is meaningful, and nobody knew when the boarding call would come. The Airspeed members took it easy, and their experience surely helped in such a situation. They accepted the NSL News invitation and met with Joey Jones as the anchor of the NSL-TV show. It became even more challenging when the NSL News went back in time to the World Meet 2008 in Maubeuge, France. Airspeed... (more)
News Article Did you know that the dropzone in Menzelinsk got very busy Saturday afternoon?
posted: Jul 31st, 2010 The NSL-TV camera went on another little DZ tour after the NSL Talk with Eric Heinsheimer, Lena and Joey Jones. There were still busy training activities. It was easier to get the last group in front of the camera, as nobody was jumping. Everybody was busy, as Joey Jones is coaching the Swedish female 4-way team and helps NMP-PCH Hayabusa whenever he is needed. Lena Jones is packing for many competitors, and Eric Heinsheimer was in judging training on Saturday. However, the NSL News was hoping to get the top teams for some NSL Talk for a few minutes, and it actually worked out. Saturday... (more)
