Then the teams received the competition draw and went straight to work, as the first round was scheduled for 10.00 am.
The NSL News created the new leaderboard while the teams prepared for the first technical challenge in Round 1. Then it was already time to follow the competition action. The NSL TV camera captured several of the top teams live in the flying chamber.
The judges are currently working on the scores... (more)
Did you know that Joey Jones anchored the new NSL TV video from Bedford? posted: Apr 3rd, 2010 The next step after the short preview by the group of top competitors was more NSL Talk, while some teams were already flying their official training time for the World Challenge 2010 and others lined up before the entrance to the flying chamber.
Joey Jones had already anchored the NSL TV production at the FSL Shamrock Showdown 2010. The show is now in the editing process and will soon be aired in Florida.
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)

Did you know that the NSL News followed XL to a special debriefing station? posted: Apr 2nd, 2010 Another video goes back to the activities at the World Challenge 2010 on Thursday.
The NSL News had already captured the XL debriefing after a training session and then uploaded them with today's first update from Bodyflight Bedford.
However, XL also had a debriefing of the whole day when Thursday's training was completed. This debriefing took place at a different location.
It was a place at Bodyflight Bedford, which actually has a different purpose. At least you would think so. You would think that a real spa, with steam room, sauna and pool, would only serve as a relaxing place for hard... (more)
Did you know that the World Challenge is a real up close and personal experience? posted: Apr 2nd, 2010 The Friday at the World Challenge 2010 begins with more footage from Thursday. The NSL News camera followed some of the training activities at Bodyflight Bedford.
Arizona Airspeed was training yesterday and in the middle of the debriefing of a training session. XL was doing exactly the same, just a few steps away around the corner.
It has always been one of the very convenient factors at the World Challenge that so many teams are so close to each other for the time of the event. This is a real up close and personal situation.
The same counts for the actual flying. It is always amazing... (more)
