Did you know that Skydive Elsinore had a busy day on the SCSL season opener?
posted: Apr 26th, 2010 With five competing teams, 105 tandems and 20+ AFF's happening, it was a busy day at Skydive Elsinore for the opening SCSL Meet of the season. Graced with blue skies and perfect 75 degree skydiving weather, Elsinore was a fantastic host with the awards ceremony finished and the adult beverages flowing well before sunset. With no AAA Class teams competing, the highlight of the day was in the A Class as the Royal Air Force Demo teams battled it out. Having learned the dive pool only two weeks ago and competing in their first ever 4-way meet, the 7.1 and 7.6 averages of these two teams were... (more)

Did you know that Polaris is going after the Norgie Girls' 16.2 average?
posted: Apr 25th, 2010 The NSL News has covered Norway's new national 4-way team in the female category, Polaris, since it was put together at the end of the 2009 season. The story on 20 January 2010 introduced the lineup in detail. The NSL News followed up on 14 April 2010 after the team's attendance at the World Challenge 2010 and before the April meet of the Florida Skydiving League. The Norwegian teams have always received attention for many reasons. It is still impressive how the scarcely populated Scandinavian country produces very competitive and sometimes world class lineups year after year. In addition, the... (more)

Did you know that XP4 created the only move on the top of the leaderboard in Round 8?
posted: Apr 24th, 2010 Round 8 at the World Challenge 2010 did not change much of the rankings on the top of the leaderboard. It was still a meaningful round, as the situation did not tighten up any longer as it had happened in the previous rounds. The distance between 4th and 1st place changed from three to six points, and Aerodyne Cypres Maubeuge added another two points to the lead over Perris Fury. It seemed like France began to run away from the field after the new sole highscore for Round 8. (more)

Did you know that the Shamrock Showdown 2011 may feature the first visit of a team from Ireland?
posted: Apr 23rd, 2010 It has been a while since the NSL News covered Formation Skydiving competition in Ireland the last time. The FSL Shamrock Showdown gets a lot of attention every year, even though no team from Ireland has ever attended the popular annual event in March. This may change in 2011. The NSL News now had a good reason to go back to Ireland as a topic since an Irish 4-way team, FastAir, was recently training in DeLand. FastAir was another team that was seriously affected by Eyjafjallajökull, the volcano in Iceland that brought air traffic between Europe and America to a complete halt. The NSL News... (more)

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)
