Did you know that teams from Morocco have never competed at a World Meet or a World Cup?
posted: Jan 16th, 2010 The 4-way competition in the female category at the Dubai Championship came to an end that did not offer any surprises or new information. The French World Cup winner of 2009, Aerokart Deep Blue Maubeuge, walked away with the 1st place and $20,000. The 17.8 average is not a very impressive meet average after the eight rounds. However, the NSL News story on 11 January 2010 already provided some information of the Deep Blue performance in Dubai that explains some of the reasons for the lower scores. As in Dubai, Deep Blue did not have much competition at the World Cup 2010, as well, where the... (more)

Did you know that Airspeed made it a 21-victory streak on a $20,000 trip?
posted: Jan 15th, 2010 It's a wrap in Dubai. Arizona Airspeed posted the 4th sole highscore for a round. The 4-way world champions gave away only one of the eight rounds and tied the highest score in three other rounds. That's more than enough to win a meet, once again. Hayabusa Defence lost two points in the last round, Airspeed one, due to point deductions in the judging room. France Aerodyne Cypres Maubeuge ended up safely in 3rd place. Canada Evolution had to accept that the French national team with alternate Marin Ferre was still stronger once the team's coach and 4-way world champion of 2003 had warmed up well... (more)

Did you know that Perris Fury's Chris Farina commented the Dubai action?
posted: Jan 15th, 2010 Round 8 is over in Dubai, and the winner is Arizona Airspeed - at least according to the latest results of the NSL Poll. The real scores have not been posted yet. Not much has changed ever since the poll options were reduced to Arizona Airspeed and Hayabusa Defence. In fact, the final vote (55% - 45%) somehow reflects the scores and rankings throughout the meet. Airspeed is a little bit further ahead in the poll than the real scores actually show. However, 45% for Hayabusa is also evidence that many observers expect the Belgian team to win a meet at any time now. By the way: Airspeed's video... (more)

Did you know that the Airspeed lead is up to four points after Round 7?
posted: Jan 14th, 2010 The scores for Round 7 confirmed Craig Girard's new theory: "I guess not telling you guys the scores is the secret. We actually got the raw score on that jump for the first time this meet! To be honest, we feel like we might have got away with one for a change. There was a build of Block 1 about half way through the jump that was shaky... I think it was complete, but the fact is that it doesn't look good, so I figured they would bust it." They did not and accepted Airspeed's 24 points within working time as the official score. The Airspeed lead over Hayabusa is now the biggest one of the Dubai... (more)

Did you know that there are no scoresheets available in Dubai?
posted: Jan 14th, 2010 Round 7 has already been completed, and Airspeed's video can already be reviewed on the team's Facebook page. The scores have not been posted yet, and Craig Girard does not feel like commenting much any longer after being surprised by the results on the scoreboard already a few times before. However, he also uploaded the video of Round 6 where Airspeed, Hayabusa and France all shared the highscore of 26 points for the round. The results of the judging procedure and any details of the penalty situations are completely subject to speculation, he also reported. There is no eletronic judging... (more)

Did you know that new Airspeed videos offer more details on the vacation day in Dubai?
posted: Jan 13th, 2010 Teams and competitors are off today in Dubai, and the NSL News has time to catch up. First of all, it seems to make no sense to continue with France and Canada as options for the same question in the NSL Poll. It is all between Airspeed and Hayabusa now. The poll is open again for all voters. There is still a competition between France and Canada for the 3rd place and the $10,000 though. Then, Craig Girard uploaded two more Airspeed videos to YouTube. Rounds 4 and 5 are now available for reviews. (more)
