posted: Jul 9th, 2009 The NSL News reported the 8-way scores of the Paraclete XP Indoor Skydiving Championship 2009 on 15 June 2009. Two 8-way teams attended the first indoor competition, and Paraclete XP won by 12 points over the Golden Knights with a 24.9 average. The first appearance of the US Army's new 8-way lineup confirms the latest change of the Golden Knights' event priorities.

In fact, the Golden Knights are still in possession of the 8-way world record for a single round (31) and also for the meet average (22.4) which were... (more)

Did you know that Evolution posted a new national highscore for Sweden last weekend?
posted: Jul 6th, 2009 The NSL News reported on 25 June 2009 how Sweden and Finland both had bad luck with the weather on their first meet weekend this year.

Lennart Vestbom, representative for the Swedish Parachuting Association, told the NSL News that the Swedish national team of 2008, Evolution, was already selected as the new national team of 2009 after the first 2009 meet: "This...

Did you know that the World Cup 2009 has open slots for US teams?
posted: Jul 4th, 2009 The event pages for all three Formation Skydiving events (4-way Open, 4-way Women, 8-way Open) of the FAI World Cup 2009 have been set up for a little while now, and the scores offer a review of the last World Cup in Russia 2007. As in 2007, no US 4-way teams have registered for the most relevant international competition this year so far. The US 2009 slots seem to be open for other teams, as the three top contenders (Arizona Airspeed, Perris Fury, Spaceland Force XP) have no plans to travel to Europe at this point in time. However, the World Cup of 2007 was exciting enough, even without US... (more)
