Did you know that Dynamic Fource is the first team from the Netherlands at the World Challenge? posted: Jan 19th, 2010 The Dutch national 4-way team, Dynamic Fource, held a winter training camp in DeLand a few weeks ago, and the NSL News used the opportunity to get an update from the team. This update includes a video clip of the team training on a very cold day in January and a live interview in the NSL office.
Dynamic Fource was formed in 2007 after the previous national team, Punky Fish, had disbanded at the end of the 2006 season. Punky Fish had finished in 14th place at the World Meet in Germany 2006 with a 15.8 average.
Punky Fish co-founder Paul Hofstee then moved on with a new 4-way lineup, Dynamic... (more)
Did you know that Becca once again invites the bootie flyers? posted: Jan 18th, 2010 FSL competitor and Skydive Sebastian local Rebecca Minkin organizes the 2nd Annual Becca's Bootie Boogie this upcoming weekend in Sebastian, beginning on Friday. The inaugural event last year was very successful, which motivated her to continue this year.
She has once again lined up great help, as several Formation Skydiving coaches and competitors had already worked together with Beccas last year to make the event a success.
The lineup of coaches and load organizers is even more promising this year since SDC Rhythm XP has made Skydive Sebastian the team's winter home and will be available,... (more)
Did you know that the Fun Flag was flying higher than ever in Dubai? posted: Jan 17th, 2010 There is one more topic of the Dubai Championship that needs to be covered before the NSL News will turn to other events with other stories.
The NSL News audience and visitors at the World Cup 2009 competition in Prostejov, Czech Republic, probably still remember the wild battles for the Fun Flag. It was one of the most exciting and thrilling events in the history of the flag. The flag even made a freefall and a parachute flight in Prostejov.
The British and French delegations were mostly involved in the Fun Flag battle of September 2009. However, neither of them eventually took the Fun Flag... (more)
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)
