Did you know that Denmark's team Voluntas works on the road to the amateur championship title? posted: Apr 22nd, 2010 Denmark's national 4-way team Voluntas was one of the eight teams that traveled from Florida to Bedford after the FSL Shamrock Showdown 2010 and attended the second meet of the 2010 season at the World Challenge.
Voluntas was then one of the 19 teams that made it a step further and reached the semifinals in Bedford, which was obviously not that easy. The team's 21.3 indoor average this year was significantly better than last year (18.8) and Voluntas placed higher, as well (21st in 2009, 17th this year). The Danish team teams was still not even close to a slot in the Finals, which required at... (more)
Did you know that there was a 4-way battle for the last slot into the World Challenge Semifinals? posted: Apr 21st, 2010 Round 7 at the World Challenge 2010 may have been the other round that had a serious impact at the top of the leaderboard, at least for Arizona Airspeed.
The 4-way world champions had just started the second day with a highscore in Round 6 and the energy that indicated that things may change in the second half of the meet. Round 7 brought this new hope for the Airspeed fans to a halt, if not to an end.
There was no sensational 66-pointer or a complete meltdown or anything like that in Round 7. It was just the fact that the other top contenders were completely unimpressed with Airspeed's attempt... (more)
Did you know that the Falcon lineup added two new members to the Teiwaz Club? posted: Apr 20th, 2010 The April meet of the Florida Skydiving League produced a few new Teiwaz members.

Did you know that Arizona Airspeed made the expected move on Sunday morning? posted: Apr 19th, 2010 The new judging videos of Round 6 at the World Challenge 2010 come together with the missing scores of Round 10. The scores of Rounds 9 and 10 did not change the meet averages for the teams after Round 8 much at all. Round 9 was a fast sequence, Round 10 was a slow one, and the average of those two rounds was almost exactly the same as teams had after eight rounds.
Perros Dunkerque Maubeuge had the most outstanding score for Round 10. The French national C-Team, which was guided through the ten rounds by national 4-way coach Marin Ferre in Bedford, was just one point short of the lowest score... (more)
Did you know that SDC Rhythm XP's 2010 season is in full swing? posted: Apr 19th, 2010 The highest number of attended meets by any teams in 2010 is four at this point in time, and only one team can claim it.

It seems as if the top contender in the female 4-way category is getting stronger meet by meet.... (more)
Did you know that Eyjafjallajökull is causing trouble for Sinapsi? posted: Apr 17th, 2010 Four teams made it to Sebastian for a small FSL 2010 April meet.
However, one of the best US teams, SDC Rhythm XP, was competing together with the Norwegian national 4-way team in the female category, Polaris.
Both teams just attended the World Challenge 2010 at Bodyflight Bedford. However, Polaris needs the outdoor competition experience, as the World Championship of Formation Skydiving 2010 in Russia is coming up soon. Sebastian is Rhythm's home turf throughout the winter season.
The story of this meet is a completely different one though, and the NSL News will go back to Rhythm and... (more)
