Did you know that teams from Florida swept last weekend's leaderboard?
posted: Aug 22nd, 2008 The 4-way Formation Skydiving world moves and changes quickly. The World Meet 2008 is over, even though the NSL News coverage will still continue for a while with reviews and event related stories. Other meets have already taken the place on the front page and on the leaderboard. The latest scores from Russia will be evaluated soon, hopefully before the upcoming nine meets this weekend will take the attention of the NSL News. The national championships of the United Kingdom, France, Netherlands and Czech Republic are on the meet agenda, plus several additional events in Europe and the USA. (more)

Did you know that the French 8-way team answered NSL News questions right after winning in Maubeuge?
posted: Aug 21st, 2008 Last not least, the NSL News interviewed the complete lineup of the French 8-way team shortly after the judges had finished their job. The 8-way competition was the last event to be judged at the World Meet 2008. It took a little while until the old and new 8-way world champions were able to get through the crowds of excited French fans. French national coach Jerome David helped the NSL News to gather the team members at the French headquarters in the tent village. The NSL News had already interviewed a few team members in the past. However, it was the first time that the complete 8-way team... (more)

Did you know that Andy Delk lost an argument with the relative wind in Round 8?
posted: Aug 18th, 2008 The NSL News mentioned on the last day of World Meet 2008 live coverage from Maubeuge that an interview with Airspeed Odyssey would be uploaded later. This interview took place shortly after the judging of Round 8 was completed and the final scores were posted. The video of the live interview is now available and can be viewed by clicking here. It shows all five Airspeed members in a happy and relaxed state of mind after a nerve wrecking final round. The US team had a 4-point lead going into the last round, which eventually melted down to a 1-point victory over France Maubeuge. The French... (more)

Did you know that Hayabusa Defence introduces a new team member in the NSL News interview?
posted: Aug 17th, 2008 The World Meet 2008 was quite a rollercoaster for the Belgian national team Hayabusa Defence, and it ended up with a happy end and the first set of world championship medals for Belgium. Hayabusa had defeated the French national 4-way team at last year's FAI World Cup in Russia after a jump-off and had good reasons for high hopes going into the World Meet 2008. A year of hard work and a lot of training prepared the team well for last week's event in Maubeuge, France. It was enough to win the first set of medals for Belgium, however, it was not enough to win the gold medals. The NSL News invited... (more)

Did you know that the interview with Bodyflight Storm includes a Fun Flag showing?
posted: Aug 15th, 2008 It came as it had to be expected: it is a beautiful Friday morning with clear skies and lots of sunshine. One more day of competition, before or after the dedicated five days, would have completed the meet. That's how it goes, and the IPC committee will take a closer look at the rules for the event duration. Thursday was a great day of celebration though. The airshow and award ceremony at the dropzone attracted once again a large crowd of spectators. It was a wonderful presentation of the sport to the general public. The TV and print media participated very well in the event and covered it consistently.... (more)

Did you know that the 4-way Open Class teams struggled with Round 8?
posted: Aug 14th, 2008 It was actually quite amazing how difficult Round 8 turned out to be. Norway Arcteryx ended up with a 14-pointer, the team's lowest score of the meet. France Maubeuge was the only team without serious problems and had the highscore of 18 points. It was hard to imagine that Airspeed Odyssey could still got in trouble. However, after two deductions the US team saved a 1-point victory over the finish line. Airspeed is the new 4-way world champion, Craig Girard will collect his 7th gold medal and set a new record. Mark Kirkby wins a 4-way gold medal for the 4th time. Eliana Rodriguez is the first... (more)
