Did you know that Skylight Barkli is on this year?
posted: May 14th, 2009 It was a coincidence, and an interesting one. The NSL News evaluated and commented the Russian team Kaktus Hunter's performance at the World Challenge 2009 with the story on 1 May 2009. One day later, the Aerograd skydiving center in Kolomna hosted a 4-way competition attended by six teams, including Kaktus Hunter. The story on May 1 did not only cover the indoor competition at Bodyflight Bedford in April. It also provided a short overview of the team situation in Russia, as Kaktus Hunter is moving closer to the top level of 4-way competition there. The scores from Russia arrived at the NSL... (more)

Did you know that the NSL welcomes Norway into the international network?
posted: May 13th, 2009 Great news came from Norway this week. IPC Delegate Trude Sviggum, who is also the Deputy Chair for IPC's Formation Skydiving Committee, had already discussed her plans to join the international NSL Network with teams, competitors and officials of her own 4-way community in Norway, and with the NSL management at the same time. These plans finally materialized, and four competitions in Norway have now been added to the Calendar of Events. The dates can be found on Norway's home page. Three of these meets will be fully synchronized with the other events on the same weekends. Norway's national... (more)

Did you know that only Voluntas made a move in the World Challenge's Round 10?
posted: May 12th, 2009 NSL YouTube TV completed the coverage of the Top 12 teams at the World Challenge 2009 with the uploaded videos of Round 10 and the NSL News story on 9 May 2009. It was a Satori udate at the same time, the UK team that seems to be the British top contender this year. Videos of other teams outside of the Top 12 have already been uploaded, as well, and more will follow, thanks to CamScore who provided the judging videos for the NSL News and NSL-TV audience. By the way, there is a very good chance that NSL News and CamScore will work together again at this year's FAI World Cup and the USPA Nationals. At... (more)

Did you know that Satori launched an important season successfully?
posted: May 9th, 2009 UK team Satori caught the NSL News attenton quite a few times ever since the team was formed at the end of the 2007 season, with the original members Aaron Faith (Tail), Julia Foxwell (Center Outside), Liz Matthews (Center Inside) and Katie Woods (Point). The first article introduced the new team on 9 January 2008 (Archives > 2008 > News > Search for "Satori"). The Satori members announced their attendance at the FSL Shamrock Showdown 2008 when they visited DeLand for a training camp in January and met with the NSL News for a little chat. The first competition of the new lineup in March at... (more)

Did you know that Germany has three top contenders this year?
posted: May 7th, 2009 The last updates from Germany covered one of the new national challengers, Final Four, with the story on 22 February 2009, and recently the new lineup of the Chicas. The situation is different in Germany this year. There has not been a very strong competition for the top spot in 2007 and 2008. In fact, Germany has always had one team that dominated the national 4-way competition for a certain time period: Colibri in the early and mid 80s, Mobel Krugel in the late 80s and early 90s, Dadalus for the rest of the 90s until EADS took over in 2000. The original EADS lineup (Olaf Biedermann, Jens... (more)
