Did you know that 4-way and 100-way teams share the SkyQuest 2009 planes now?
posted: Nov 20th, 2009 The 4-way teams that are adding another meet to the 2009 season have now joined the action at SkyQuest 2009 and compete for the NSL Championship awards. The AA Class teams and Rookie Class teams have already completed two rounds at the end of Friday. Teiwaz will compete with the PD Ninjas in the AAA Class beginning tomorrow morning. The 4-way teams take turns with the two 100-way teams. Fog delayed the start of the 100-way Kaleidoscope Dives this morning. As soon as the sun had burned off the fall fog the jumping conditions were next to perfect. The Falcons and Eagles tried to make up for... (more)

Did you know that SkyQuest 2009 in now in full swing?
posted: Nov 19th, 2009 It took a little while in the morning until the first load went up. Many Kaleidoscope Divers still had to register and get paperwork out of the way. Then the team captains (Larry Henderson, Pål Bergan, Kate Cooper-Jensen, Tom Jenkins, Victor Kravtsov, BJ Worth, Mike Johnston, Patrick Passe, Roger Ponce de Leon, Lou Tommaso and Solly Williams) needed some time to prepare the two 100-way teams for the first jump.

Did you know that current and former FS competitors are mixing in DeLand?
posted: Nov 18th, 2009 It's the day before, and things get busy at Skydive DeLand, host of SkyQuest 2009. The dropzone shapes up, as the final preparations take place, while the participants register and make warmup jumps. Several smaller groups formed and have been jumping throughout the day. Master spotter and plane captain Roger Ponce de Leon, Kate Cooper-Jensen and Lou Tomasso already entertained the Kaleidoscope Divers in these groups. The NSL News camera spotted several current and former Formation Skydiving competitors. Janna Wynne and Christy Frikken will be team mates in the Jimani lineup. Perris Fury's... (more)

Did you know that Dallas Rogue would have medaled nine times since 1997?
posted: Nov 17th, 2009 The NSL News goes back to the 8-way competition at the 2009 USPA National Skydiving Championships. The story on 2 May 2009 had introduced a new 8-way lineup for the 2009 season. Dallas Rogue had started training for the USPA Nationals 2009 and aimed for a medal position with a strong lineup of amateur competitors. The NSL News followed up a few times on the progression of the team. Dallas Rogue eventually finished with a 13.9 average and ended up in 4th place with this result. It was simply unfortunate timing for the Rogue approach, as the lineups of the three other top teams were loaded... (more)

Did you know that X3M4S is not only a skydiving team?
posted: Nov 16th, 2009 The Norwegian 4-way teams Arcteryx, Nexus and Frost were covered quite frequently by the NSL News this year. Arcteryx was Norway's national team of the past years and competed once again, and probably for the last time, at the World Games 2009. Nexus was the new official national team of 2009 and represented Norway at the FAI World Cup 2009. Frost was a player coach project team that competed at the ESL Championship 2009. Frost and Nexus competition videos at their international events were featured with the NSL News story on 16 September 2009. Finally, the story on 20 October 2009 presented... (more)

Did you know that Shannon Pilcher collected five medals at the USPA Nationals 2009?
posted: Nov 15th, 2009 The NSL News had already mentioned several cross-event activities of 4-way and 8-way competitors at the 2009 USPA National Skydiving Championships. This coverage went beyond the 10-way and 16-way events, which are part of the Formation Skydiving competition anyway. So is 4-way Vertical Formation Skydiving where a few 4-way competitors participated, as well. The Formation Skydiving events took place during the first week of the USPA Nationals 2009. The artistic events began at the end of the same week, which made it difficult for anybody who was still competing in 16-way or 10-way, and especially... (more)
