Did you know that a large crowd cheered for Perris Fury's 66-pointer? posted: Apr 3rd, 2010 The NSL News is getting ahead of the competition at the World Challenge 2010 now. The judges are still working on the scores for Round 2, while the teams are getting ready for Round 4.

Did you know that the scores of Round 2 may shake up the young leaderboard? posted: Apr 3rd, 2010 The scores of Round 1 have been posted, and it is already a very tight field all over the leaderboard. Arizona Airspeed made already clear in Round 1 that the reigning world champions are still the Number 1, at least after the first round. It is not easy to post a sole highscore in a field of top teams like the one at the World Challenge 2010.
It's a good start for Airspeed, but that's all it is. The other top contenders were not far behind at all, and this includes Aerokart Deep Blue, the all-female lineup from France. The French national team makes it further up into the top positions of the... (more)

The NSL News asked Joey Jones to open this session of NSL Talk in Bedford like he did at the Shamrock Showdown. It was actually great fun to watch him do his job in DeLand. He was not prepared... (more)
Did you know that Craig Girard, Roy Janssen and Pete Allum provided a preview of the competition? posted: Apr 2nd, 2010 The Friday went by very quickly at the World Challenge 2010. The pace picked up as soon as the official training session began. Each team had two flying sessions to determine the final team specific airspeed in the flying chamber. The NSL News used the opportunity to film as many of the teams as possible, and there is plenty of footage ready to be processed and uploaded.
However, let's proceed in the proper order of events since the first Friday video was posted today. Bodyflight Bedford's owner Paul Mayer did not only turn on the water of the Flow House today. He also invited surfers to test... (more)
