Did you know that Sheik Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum and Crown Prince Hamdan bin Mohammed are big sports fans? posted: Nov 27th, 2012 It was a very long travel day for the NSL News to move from DeLand, Florida, to Dubai, United Arabian Emirates. However, this update comes live from Dubai, and at least it brings across the first impressions of an event magnitude that the skydiving world has not seen yet.
The arrival at the Dubai International Airport was well planned by the host, and each travel group had a guide who kindly helped everybody to get to the hotels. NSL News Khalid spoke fluently English and explained that Dubai was the first place in the Arabian world that made an effort to teach English as the second language... (more)

It also gives a better impression of the value of Thunder's scores. There was only one "weak" round, as Center Outside Paul Hofstee explained. Thunder did not like their own Round 3, and the first video below begins with this one of three Thunder sequences.
However, Round 4 and 5 compensated for Round 3, and the second video features the Thunder highlight and 33-pointer highscore of the meet in Round 7.
Thunder had to deal with a health situation, as one of the team members was sick and decided... (more)

Did you know that Aerodyne Deep Blue Defenders are challenging NMP-PCH Hayabusa in the Open Class? posted: Aug 27th, 2012 The NSL News is finally ready to go and cover the World Cup 2012 live from the competition site.
It was a challenging situation when the NSL website crashed, all of a sudden and at a very bad time. Fortunately, there was temporary and quick help available. ISB Air Remscheid member Pia Weingart kindly provided the connection with a German web wizzard who was able to repair the broken system within a few days and just in time.

Did you know that Zoe Bodtländer's name is now on the Fun Flag? posted: Apr 20th, 2012 The NSL News has been quiet about the whereabouts of the Fun Flag for a long time, and there was a good reason for that. The last update with a funny story came from the World Cup 2011 on 4 August 2011.
From then on and after a sad incident in Saarlouis the Fun Flag was not a topic for the NSL News any longer. A little girl was injured when the battle for the possession of the Fun Flag got out of control at the competition site, and the Fun Flag had lost its purpose.
However, the NSL News used the time between the end of the 2011 season and the beginning of the new competition season to find... (more)
