Did you know that French teams took over the AAA Class leaderboard?
posted: Aug 28th, 2008 CSC Rhythm XP, the German team Jerry's Birds and Skyservice from the Czech Republic lost their top positions on last weekend's leaderboard today when the scores from France came in. The national championship was held in Pau, and the weather cooperated well enough this time to complete seven rounds. The NSL News had reported earlier this year how all previous three meets of the Coupe de France were completely weathered out, except one single round on July 5. There were also weather problems at the World Meet 2008, where each event missed a few rounds. French IPC Delegate Gill Winter happily reported... (more)

Did you know that the DeLand Norgies have no chance any longer?
posted: Aug 27th, 2008 The NSL News has covered the annual showdown between the DeLand Norgies, former national 4-way team and bronze medalist for Norway at the world meets in 1999, 2001 and 2003, and the new national team Arcteryx quite a few times already. The DeLand Norgies were once again eager enough this year to arrange their annual reunion at the national championship shortly after the World Meet 2008. (more)

Did you know that Centerline XP aims at Advanced Class medals this year?
posted: Aug 26th, 2008 Some new scores have been added, which are going back in time. The Carolina Skydiving League held another indoor competition at the Paraclete XP tunnel in Raeford on the July 26 weekend and used that weekend's competition draw of the NSL Network. The scores appear on a separate leaderboard, not together with the outdoor scores of the same weekend. The NSL News has avoided mixing up indoor and outdoor scores since the conditions are much too different. Centerline XP, a AAA Class team that trains and competes usually at the Ranch Skydiving League, joined the CASL tunnel meet and finished with... (more)

Did you know that Skyservice and Fast Arrows defended their titles successfully?
posted: Aug 25th, 2008 The Czech Republic, host of next year's FAI World Cup, concluded the 2008 season last weekend with the national championship. The Czech 2008 season was opened with a tunnel competition at Bodyflight Bedford in April, three meets of the regular season followed in May, June and July leading into the national championship. The defending Czech 4-way champion of 2007, Skyservice (Jirí Jirman, Jan Lukavec, Štepán Tuma, Zbynek Živný and Petr Brož on camera), won the title once again with an impressive 14.6 average. This stands for a new Czech record average, as league director Jan Klapka reported. Skyservice... (more)

Did you know that Bodyflight Storm fended off the Satori challenge at the UK Nationals 2008?
posted: Aug 24th, 2008 It took only one day until the scores from Russia were already replaced by scores from the United Kingdom. The national championship was on the UK agenda, and the participation confirmed once again that the United Kingdom is slowly becoming a powerhouse of Formation Skydiving competition. UK Teams have already dominated the world wide 4-way competition in the female category for quite a while. Bodyflight Storm continued the tradition this year with the gold medals at the World Meet 2008. (more)

Did you know that Black Cat's 22.1 average came with a different lineup?
posted: Aug 23rd, 2008 The most current scores on the NSL leaderboard came from Russia. They will soon be replaced by new results of this weekend's events. However, Black Cat's 22.1 average after ten rounds and the scores of several other Russian teams are well worth a closer look. Black Cat's performance at the Russian Cup 2008 has a special aspect for two reasons. First of all, the team is constantly challenging the Sky Panthers for the top spot in Russian 4-way competition, and the Sky Panthers just competed at the World Meet 2008 in Maubeuge. Even more importantly, Black Cat posted the 22.1 average last week... (more)
