Did you know that PeopleJar.com improves the NSL Team Network features? posted: Sep 3rd, 2008 The NSL website has obviously begun to feature a new networking service. A young skydiver from California, Alexander Alexandrov, has launched PeopleJar.com and invites people to join the network.
Other networking services have already been around for a while, and the NSL website has set up links to MySpace, Google Groups and Facebook to offer some kind of a networking service for the skydiving community. The previously installed NSL Discussion Forum was a part of the networking features and is currently out of service.

Did you know that Ex3mo completes the team's 8-way career with another national title? posted: Sep 2nd, 2008 The 8-way competition at the Italian Nationals 2008 was not nearly as exciting as the 4-way event since it did not have a similar background as the situation in 4-way. However, the top of the leaderboard of both events did not offer any drama or any surprises. The teams in all medal positions of the Open Class events were clearly separated from each other. (more)

Did you know that CSC Rhythm XP's MWSL record jump on NSL-TV wraps up the Midwest 2008 season? posted: Aug 30th, 2008 Most of the 2008 skydiving season of the Midwest Skydiving League has been plagued by awful weather. But August has mostly been beautiful with very un-Augustlike comfortable temperatures and low humidities. However, Saturday started out very much like August with high temperatures and tons of humidity presenting our six teams with challenging jumping conditions. But Meet 4, our final meet of the season, still started on time at Skydive Chicago.
While AAA Class team CSC Rhythm XP and AA Class team Just4Fun each had local competition at their last two meets, today both would be the sole MWSL representatives... (more)
Did you know that the Dutch delegation prepares for the UK challenge at the ESL Championship 2008? posted: Aug 29th, 2008 The national championship of the Netherlands went almost unnoticed, as well, due to the separate event date and competition draw. The scores have already been posted for a while, and the Dutch teams did well.
