Did you know that the team number is up to 50 on Sunday morning?
posted: Oct 11th, 2009 More teams have been signing up for the 2009 USPA National Skydiving Championships this morning. The number of teams is around 50 at the moment. Not much more is happening at the dropzone this morning. The weather forecast has been more accurate than anybody would like it in this case. Heavy rain this morning, wind and clouds - it is not the best situation a day before the first round of the competition, but that's just the way it is. The competition draw will probably be handed out at 6 PM, as Eric Boyd mentioned earlier. The teams may study and prepare the first rounds of the meet better... (more)

Did you know that the first round of NSL Talk features Spaceland Force XP?
posted: Oct 10th, 2009 The weather situation has not changed much at the 2009 USPA National Skydiving Championships, which will begin with the first competition jumps on Monday morning. The NSL News has not seen one jump plane in the air yet, even though the sun came out quite a few times in the afternoon. It was just not good enough to send the teams up in safe jumping conditions. There is one more day left for warm up jumps. Arizona Airspeed and Perris Fury never made it to the dropzone today, while many teams were waiting for an opportunity. Spaceland Force XP was on site and ready to make a few jumps. Gary... (more)

Did you know that the NSL News is now reporting live from Texas?
posted: Oct 10th, 2009 The transition of the NSL News operation from DeLand to Skydive Spaceland in Texas has been successfully completed. The weather situation at the hosting site of the 2009 USPA National Skydiving Championships is the same as it appeared to be on the weather map in the past days. The skyscrapers at Houston's downtown area greeted the visitors only half-way, as the tops of the buildings were covered by clouds. The situation did not change much on the way to Rosharon, southwest of Houston. This time, the radio towers on the side of the highway were covered with clouds. It has been a quiet day... (more)

Did you know that the results of the 8-way poll changed overnight?
posted: Oct 9th, 2009 Yesterday's NSL News update and preview of the 2009 USPA National Skydiving Championships had an impact on the latest results of the NSL Poll for the 8-way competition. None of the four listed teams had a significant advantage, and Arizona Airspeed's lineup had collected the majority of votes at that point in time. This changed overnight. The Golden Knights are now far ahead of the other three teams. It seems as if the focus on the 8-way event has given the US Army team the edge in the poll. (more)

posted: Oct 8th, 2009 The start of the 2009 USPA National Skydiving Championships is only three days away. The 2-week event begins with the 4-way competition jumps on Monday. The NSL News will be reporting the 4-way and 8-way competition live from the event site in Texas, with all the exciting features that the audience has become used to. (more)

Did you know that the Pro Team is the unofficial Scandinavian 4-way champion of 2009?
posted: Oct 7th, 2009 Three Scandinavian teams competed for this year's internal top spot at the FAI World Cup 2009, Norway's national 4-way team Nexus, Evolution from Sweden and the Pro Team from Finland. The NSL News had mentioned the unofficial "Scandinavian Championship" already a few times during the live coverage from Prostejov, Czech Republic. Norway had dominated the 4-way competition in Scandinavia for a long time, first with the DeLand Norgies and then with Arcteryx. Denmark had the best Scandinavian 4-way team before the Norwegian years. The world class team Touche won two sets of bronze medals at the... (more)
