Did you know that the latest NSL Talk session included a Fun Flag update? posted: Aug 3rd, 2010 The second NSL Talk session on Tuesday took place after the 4-way teams arrived at the dropzone and while they prepared for their first jumps of the day. The coaches had finished their work with the teams and had time to join the NSL Talk session.
It was a special group, as Gary Smith, Solly Williams and NSL Talk host Joey Jones were DeLand Majik team mates when they won the World Meet 2004 in Croatia. Lenka Mazaeva joined the group by coincidence. The former Lady Birds member came to greet her former coach Solly Williams and could not escape before the camera was running.

Did you know that the Fun Flag was flying for the first time in Menzelinsk? posted: Jul 31st, 2010 It is about time for the first Fun Flag update from Menzelinsk in Russia, one day before the teams will begin with Round 1 at the World Championship of Formation Skydiving 2010.
The Belgian team NMP-PCH Hayabusa had the last Fun Flag word at the World Meet 2008 in Maubeuge, France, and took it back home to Belgium. Hayabusa managed to keep possession of the flag after a very lively and exciting World Cup 2009 in Prostejov, Czech Republic.

Did you know that the 8-way teams prepare in different ways for the battle? posted: Jul 29th, 2010 Last weekend's leaderboard was replaced with a new one sooner than usual. The reason is obvious, as the currently listed teams are the ones that will compete at the World Championship of Formation Skydiving 2010 in Menzelinsk, Russia. It's an effort to introduce the field to the audience early enough.
The previous leaderboard has neither been removed nor have the teams been forgotten. In fact, new scores from the Virginia Parachute Council have just been added.
There is also one team that is on both leaderboards. Denmark's national team Bodyflight Voluntas attended the national championships... (more)
Did you know that UK 4-way team Satori can't wait to get to Russia? posted: Jul 28th, 2010 The NSL News mentioned earlier today that a Satori update would follow very soon. The UK national team in the Open Class arrived a day after Team Bodyflight made it to Russia coming from the United Kingdom. The UK delegation is now complete.
Team Bodyflight's reigning and defending 4-way world champion in the female 4-way category, Sarah Smith-Cannon, brought the IPC Trophy for this category in her luggage and allowed the NSL News to take a look at it upon arrival at the airport.

Did you know that the Fun Flag was flying higher than ever in Dubai? posted: Jan 17th, 2010 There is one more topic of the Dubai Championship that needs to be covered before the NSL News will turn to other events with other stories.
The NSL News audience and visitors at the World Cup 2009 competition in Prostejov, Czech Republic, probably still remember the wild battles for the Fun Flag. It was one of the most exciting and thrilling events in the history of the flag. The flag even made a freefall and a parachute flight in Prostejov.
The British and French delegations were mostly involved in the Fun Flag battle of September 2009. However, neither of them eventually took the Fun Flag... (more)
Did you know that Hayabusa Defence had the last word at the World Cup 2009? posted: Sep 8th, 2009 The NSL News has not offered the conclusion of the Fun Flag story at the FAI World Cup 2009 yet.
The video of the wild battle for the flag after French videographer Sylvain Girault had dropped it from his parachute was posted with the story on 3 September 2009. This was the last Fun Flag update before the NSL News left Prostejov.
There were already rumors by then that France was not in possession of the flag any longer after winning it on the battlefield in the landing area. These rumors connected the UK delegation once again with the flag, although there was no conformation from UK teams... (more)
