She came back as a member of the German Open Class team Final Four in 2007 and continued with pick up teams on a lower commitment level. Finally, she became the alternate for the Chicas for the 2009 season without knowing that she would eventually have at least... (more)

Did you know that DeLand PD Blue was going for a "three-peat" in 2000?
posted: Feb 18th, 2010 The NSL News goes back in time once again, this time far back and all the way to the beginnings of the National Skydiving League. Recent discussions with some TV networks made it necessary to show some footage that was already available. This motivated the NSL News to feature a show for the NSL audience that was produced in 2000. It was the third year of the National Skydiving League, which was founded in 1998. Teams in Florida, including the South African national team Equanimity (with Solly Williams and Gary Smith) and Sebastian XL, had started the new league system in the winter of 1996/1997. Texas...

posted: Feb 16th, 2010 The next part of the video clips that feature Arizona Airspeed's Round 10 at the Valentine's Meet 2010 begins where the last one had ended. The teams have to ride a trailer truck to get to the boarding area at Skydive Arizona, and the NSL News camera joined the teams on the way. Airspeed added another dirtdive to the final preparations and then waited for the jump plane, together with the Dutch/Belgian team 4XTT. There was another incidence that caused some trouble right before boarding the Twin Otter. Airspeed's Center Inside Andy Delk discovered that he had a serious problem with his bootie.... (more)

Did you know that the NSL-TV camera followed Airspeed on the path to Round 10?
posted: Feb 15th, 2010 Arizona Airspeed's competition videos at the Valentine's Meet 2010 have already been uploaded with yesterday's story from Eloy. The NSL News continued to collect footage on the only day live at Skydive Arizona, due to the travel problems. After returning to the NSL office in DeLand it is time now to follow up with stories and footage.
