Did you know that the new NSL-TV video features Eliana Rodriguez between 1999 and 2010? posted: May 5th, 2010 The NSL News story on 28 April 2010 was actually supposed to cover the 2010 season opener of the Georgia Skydiving League.
It turned out that the NSL News eventually went much further back in the GSL history and found old videos of the Florida Skydiving League 1999 season.
There are many videos that catch the NSL News attention during a trip into the NSL-TV archives.
This time, the team name "Illusions" deserved a memory note for the NSL News. There was a team member of the all-female lineup who is still a very active competitor, Eliana Rodriguez, now reigning 4-way world champion with... (more)
Did you know that Russia's new 8-way team posted its first 2010 scores? posted: May 4th, 2010 The NSL News reported on 30 November 2009 that Russia had a new world class 8-way lineup in the works. The story on 5 December 2009 confirmed the 8-way news from Russia and introduced the lineup.
A preview of the FSL Shamrock Showdown 2010 on 15 March 2010 provided a 4-way update from Russia but also included a paragraph with 8-way news. Michail Kuznetsov had left the 8-way lineup to focus only on 4-way with his Sky Panthers.
Then came the 8-way competition of the Shamrock Showdown, and all the attention shifted to the Golden Knights and the US team's first and only 8-way competition before... (more)
Did you know that the 4-way competition in Russia is heating up? posted: May 3rd, 2010 The first scores from Russia's competition in Kolomna last weekend were already posted on Saturday. It took a little bit longer until the leaderboatd could be completed. Some vodka was flowing in Kolomna after the competition and delayed the flowing of information eventually...
However, the leaderboard is complete now, and additional information is available, too. It was a tough meet for Kaktus Hunter, the only Russian team that had also competed at the World Challenge 2010. Kaktus Hunter lost a total of 12 points in the judging room and had to accept that the experienced Ocean of Bees lineup... (more)
Did you know that Finland's Pro Team may join another battle in Russia? posted: May 3rd, 2010 The NSL News has covered the unofficial "Scandinavian Championship" on a regular basis in the past years. The Pro Team won this unofficial title for Finland the first time in 2009.
Indoor and outdoor meets were both considered to find the best Scandinavian team of the year.
The Pro Team confirmed the unofficial Scandinavian championship title at the World Cup 2009 when Finland was the only country that was represented by a Scandinavian team in the final round of the competition.
Norway (Nexus) and Sweden (Evolution) both had their national teams in Prostejov, as well. Denmark's national... (more)
Did you know that Round 10 of the World Challenge 2010 was a real showdown? posted: May 1st, 2010 It is time for the final round of the World Challenge 2010, which included all the drama that makes a great 4-way competition.
The only piece missing of the complete NSL News coverage is actually the judging perspective. The NSL News camera had followed the teams live into the flying chamber on Sunday afternoon, and the NSL News story on 4 April 2010 included a video of the Top 10 teams from the up close perspective.
It is very interesting to compare both angles with each other, as the videos from the judging perspective have been uploaded and are now available for reviews. In addition, the... (more)
Did you know that Rotor Out aims at the Top 10 at the World Meet in Russia? posted: Apr 30th, 2010 The NSL News story on 17 March 2010 covered the Australian Nationals 2010. Rotor Out defended the 2009 title successfully and will represent Australia this year at the World Championship of Formation Skydiving 2010.
The same story mentioned the possibility that Rotor Out's Center Outside, Jens Goennemann, might now compete against his former German 8-way team mates of FSC Eisenach. Markus Bastuck, Dieter Schwarz, Jörn and Max Thiele, with Alexander Hau on camera, are still and again the 4-way lineup for Germany at the World Meet in Russia.
Jens Goennemann competed for Germany in 4-way and... (more)
