Did you know that the 4-way medal winners joined forces in 16-way?
posted: Oct 17th, 2009 The double gold victory for Arizona Airspeed at the 2009 USPA National Skydiving Championships has already turned into a triple gold situation. Airspeed won the 16-way competition without much trouble, as well. It would be no surprise if it turned out to be another 4-gold national championship for the Arizona team. It would not be the first time. The 16-way lineup consisted of the four 4-way champions and two members of the 8-way lineup (John Hamilton, Dennis Rook). Jack Jefferies was the alternate in 16-way. The complete Perris Fury lineup made it a 10-way. Three Spaceland Force XP members... (more)

Did you know that NSL-TV features two Airspeed bloopers?
posted: Oct 16th, 2009 Round 10 brought another surprise for Arizona Airspeed, this time in 8-way though. The NSL News uploaded the video of Round 8 in 4-way already earlier. It was the first blooper where the world champions had too deal with a little mental challenge right at exit time. Videographer Steve Novak climbed out for Round 8, Tail Mark Kirkby and Center Outside Craig Girard followed. All of a sudden, Craig Girard climbed back in and signaled Mark Kirkby to come back too. Andy Delk had abandoned the climbout after signals from the pilot and the other teams in the plane. However, Steve Nowak was still out... (more)

Did you know that the French 8-way experts follow the action very carefully?
posted: Oct 16th, 2009 Clement Martin St. Leon, 8-way world champion of 2006 and 2006 and now team captain of the French 8-way machine, e-mailed and said that his team is following the action at the 2009 USPA National Skydiving Championships very carefully. The defending champions will face the new US national 8-way team next year in Russia. The French competitors are impressed with the 8-way performance at Spaceland, as Clement Martin St. Leon admitted: "The performances of the three top teams in 8-way are just awesome and very impressive regarding the number of training jumps for Airspeed, the level of experience...

Did you know that Airspeed's 27-pointer is now on NSL-TV?
posted: Oct 15th, 2009 Arizona Airspeed recovered and maintained the 4-point lead in Round 6 after losing two points to the Golden Knights in Round 5. The Airspeed 2009 lineup is warming up jump by jump. Point Jack Jefferies expressed his own feelings about the exit: "I feel like I am slowly getting back to the familiar feeling of a good exit." It must be difficult for Golden Knights and Paraclete XP to watch Airspeed perform on the same level as the trained teams and getting better round by round. However, Airspeed's final position and scores may not even matter that much. It is quite unlikely that this lineup will... (more)

Did you know that Airspeed missed the world record by a few points?
posted: Oct 15th, 2009 Airspeed's 27-pointer has already been posted, which means that the Golden Knights will keep possession of the world record. That is the case only, of course, if Paraclete XP does not score higher. Brian "BK" Krause, team captain of the Golden Knights, said that his team did not get close to the world record level. In the meantime, another video made it up to the YouTube server successfully. The NSL-TV camera captured scenes of the dropzone this morning, the first day of the 8-way competition. It is kind of "Reality-TV", as the camera has no real plan and records whatever gets in the way. This... (more)

Did you know that there is already an 8-way race at the USPA Nationals 2009?
posted: Oct 15th, 2009 It will be a race, no doubt. The NSL News had a very good reason to add a few days to this year's trip to the 2009 USPA National Skydiving Championships after the conclusion of the 4-way competition. The situation in 8-way was just too promising for not being live on competition site. Round 1 was already the first evidence for the expected 8-way thriller. It will be a battle for the tickets to Russia and the World Championship of Formation Skydiving 2010. The scores of Round 2 added to the excitement. All three top contenders completed 19 points in working time. Paraclete XP and Arizona Airspeed... (more)
