Did you know that £20,000 are on stake again this weekend in Bedford?
posted: Apr 1st, 2009 There is still a lot of information coming from the results of the FSL Shamrock Showdown 2009. However, it is time to move forward at the same time for the NSL News, as the first round of the World Challenge 2009 is only a few days away. Teams, competitors and officials will hopefully have a smooth travel to the United Kingdom. This year's World Challenge at Bodyflight Bedford coincides with the G20 Summit in London, where the group of twenty finance ministers and central bank governors, plus political leaders of the world meet to discuss the economic crisis. It may not be the most peaceful... (more)

Did you know that the number of penalties was sigificantly higher in DeLand?
posted: Mar 31st, 2009 The FSL Shamrock Showdown 2009 did not only have the Skins Game as a feature that is unique for a 4-way competition. This year, there was also a new judging procedure that was tested seriously for the first time. The NSL News had mentioned a few times in the previews of the event that the CamScore system would allow judging with slower speed viewings. The NSL News asked for recommendation for the judging speed by the IPC's Formation Skydiving Committee, and Chair Fiona McEachern suggested 70% of the full speed. The teams were informed prior to the meet that judging with slower speed would... (more)

Did you know that Voluntas is the new Danish A-Team throughout the 2010 season?
posted: Mar 30th, 2009 Finally, all teams that competed at the FSL Shamrock Showdown 2009 have left Florida. Seven of them are getting ready for the next trip to Bedford and the World Challenge 2009. The last team that was leaving DeLand after a few extra days of training after the meet was the Danish team Voluntas, which will also compete at Bodyflight Bedford at the end of this week. The NSL News used the opportunity of the extra time in DeLand for a live interview with the team in the NSL office at the end of last week. Voluntas is Denmark's new national 4-way team and consists of Kasper Brandt-Svanekier, Brian... (more)

Did you know that that Wait & See is looking for a new Center Inside?
posted: Mar 30th, 2009 The NSL News had introduced a new AAA Class lineup of the Mideast Skydiving League with the story on 25 June 2008 (Archives > 2008 > News > Search for "Wait & See"). The player coach team Wait & See, with former Fastrax members John Hart and Niklas Hemlin, attended three MESL meets in 2008 and posted 6-round averages between 12.8 and 13.5 on their home turf at Start Skydiving in Lebanon, Ohio. Matt Hunt (Point) and Greg Rich (Tail) completed the lineup last year, Michelle Albers was filming the team. They are now making plans to continue in 2009.

Did you know that Gary Beyer and Thomas Hughes plan to win in 4-way and 8-way?
posted: Mar 27th, 2009 Spaceland Force XP has become a well known team name quickly. The results at the FSL Shamrock Showdown 2009 moved the new lineup (Shannon Pilcher, Ian Bobo, Gery Beyer, Thomas Hughes, Eric Boyd on camera) up to the very top of the world rankings instantly. The NSL News introduced the Space Force and followed up with additional information already with several stories before and after the event in DeLand. Thomas Hughes and Gary Beyer are still in DeLand, as they also train and compete in 8-way this year. They are both members of the new Paraclete XP lineup, which scheduled a training camp in...

Did you know that Airspeed Odyssey loves the challenge?
posted: Mar 26th, 2009 The FSL Shamrock Showdown 2009 came and went by so quickly, and there is still a lot of information to follow up with. At the same time, the next top event is already coming up and deserves all attention. The World Challenge 2009 is only one week away and has once again record participation this year, as the NSL News reported already earlier. Shamrock Showdown and World Challenge are actually two completely different events. One is an outdoor competition, the other one takes place at Bodyflight Bedford's 16-foot windtunnel. However, both events still have a lot in common: several teams and... (more)
