Did you know that the sequence of Round 10 ended Airspeed's 20-point streak?
posted: Feb 14th, 2010 It is time to catch up with the coverage of the Valentine's Meet 2010. It was a very challenging agenda for the NSL News due to the complications with the itinerary, as the previews of the event explained earlier. The 6-round meet on Saturday was already completed when the NSL News arrived at Skydive Arizona, and posting the scores was all that could be done yesterday. The Sunday was mostly dedicated to collecting as much footage and information as possible of both days. The coverage now begins with the most important thing, Arizona Airspeed's competition videos of all ten rounds. There was... (more)

Did you know that Airspeed will eat the sequence of Round 10 for breakfast?
posted: Feb 12th, 2010 The competition draw has been handed out at the Valentine's Meet 2010 in Eloy, and it has now also popped up on the NSL front page. It is on the faster side, as two of the slower moves, Block 12 (Bundy - Bundy) and Block 14 (Bipole - Bipole), would only come in Round 11. The Valentine's Meet is scheduled for ten rounds in the AAA/Open Class competition. (more)

Did you know that the NSL News got stuck in bad weather?
posted: Feb 12th, 2010 Bad weather does not only have its impact on the actual skydiving events. The NSL News had a false start with the coverage of the Valentine's Meet 2010 this morning. The travel itinerary included a stop in Atlanta, Georgia. It turned out that this became an unfortunate obstacle, as the big weather system on top of the southeast of the USA dumped a lot of rain and snow on Georgia and Florida. The NSL News never even had a chance. The airline had already canceled today's flight to Phoenix and moved NSL News reporter Kurt Gaebel to the same flight tomorrow before he had even arrived at the... (more)

posted: Feb 11th, 2010 The NSL News is getting ready for the weekend trip to Arizona, where the Valentine's Meet 2010 will begin Saturday morning. The first interesting event will be the competition draw on Friday evening, as it will indicate whether Arizona Airspeed will be able or not to keep the 20-point and up scoring streak alive. At the same time, the preparations for the FSL Shamrock Showdown 2010 and the World Challenge 2010 continue in full swing. The list of teams for this year's indoor competition at Bodyflight Bedford was updated, while Paraclete XP's Kirk Verner provided the NSL News with his lineup... (more)

Did you know that three Incognito members come back with ISB Air in 2010?
posted: Feb 10th, 2010 Another name change of a team came from Germany. The NSL News reported already on 8 January 2010 that the World Cup 2009 bronze medalist in the female 4-way category, Incognito Leutkirch, has a new lineup for the 2010 season. The same story mentioned that Sarah Hajooze (Point), Anne Heinrich (Tail), Susa Serra (Center Outside) and Pia Weingart (Center Inside) would start their first outdoor training camp this year at the end of January in Spain. Coach Gary Smith would work with the team in Sevilla. The camp was successfully completed. However, the team came back from Spain with a new name.... (more)

Did you know that VTSD moves up and on as Carolina Turbo XP?
posted: Feb 9th, 2010 Competition practice and experience creates winners. This is a message that the Arizona Airspeed 4-way world champions have announced many times, and they have also shown that this is the truth. However, the 4-way world champions are not the only competitors who have provided more than enough evidence for that. In fact, there is a very young team has spread the same message on last year's scoreboards. VTSD, the AA/Intermediate Class champion of the USPA Nationals 2009 was actually the team that competed at more meets than any other team last year. Doug Barron (Outside Center), Joey Coffineau...
