Did you know that 4Astrophe defended the Canadian 4-way title successfully? posted: Jul 26th, 2021 It was almost exactly two years ago, after the national championships, when the last scores of Canadian 4-way teams were posted on the NSL website. It was the first time that the Bisson family team (father Richard, daughter Valerie, son Yannick, plus Nicolas Malley and Sean Paquette on camera) won the Canadian 4-way title.
The even more successful Lemay family (father Michel, sons Martin, Vincent, Benoit) had dominated 4-way competition in Canada between 2005 and 2017. Martin, Vincent and Benoit Lemay, with Katie Woods, Jean Christophe Ouimet and videographer Jean-Sebastien Vadeboncoeur in their... (more)
Did you know that both German Airbus teams have withdrawn from the FAI Tanay Mondial 2020? posted: Jun 29th, 2021 The story of Germany's Formation Skydiving competition delegation for the FAI Tanay Mondial 2020 began naturally with the qualification for the slots in 4-way Open, 8-way Open and 4-way Women at the German Outdoor Nationals 2019.
Oceanside AtomiX (4-way Open), Airbus (8-way Open) and Skynamite (4-way Women) won the respective qualifications at the national championships. AtomiX won their first national 4-way title, while Airbus and Skynamite defended their status successfully.
The Airbus 8-way team and Skynamite traveled to Arizona a few months later and competed at the FAI Outdoor World... (more)
Did you know that Echochamber still has a fire burning? posted: Jun 23rd, 2021 The NSL News covered the recent FAI Tanay Mondial cancellation by Sweden's national team in 4-way Open, Echochamber, with yesterday's update. The cancellation was neither directly related to the implications of the corona virus pandemic nor to last weekend's crash of a L-410 Turbolet jump plane in Tanay.
Team speaker Ulf Liljenbäck explained the circumstances after Echochamber had tried to find a substitute for injured Johan Edvall, and that his team was not able to make a working plan for the upcoming world championship. He mentioned in his message that his team has found a new team member... (more)
Did you know that no German 4-way Women team will travel to Russia? posted: May 26th, 2021 The complete German Formation Skydiving delegation for FAI/ISC events in the traditional events (4-way Open, 4-way Women, 8-way Open) seemed to be in jeopardy when Oceanside AtomiX recently announced that the reigning 4-way Open Class champions will not represent Germany at the FAI Tanay Mondial 2020 this August.
However, the German skydiving federation (DFV) and national coach Robert Trögele reacted quickly and asked the runner-up of the last national championships in 2019, Airbus Illertissen, if they were ready for traveling to Russia as the substitute team in 4-way Open.
The Airbus 4-way... (more)
Did you know that British national 4-way team Chimera is back in training action? posted: Apr 8th, 2021 It is not easy to comprehend that the last international FAI event in Formation Skydiving competition was the FAI Outdoor World Cup in October 2019. A year and a half have gone by, and it will be almost two years before the FAI Tanay Mondial 2020 is scheduled to bring the national teams of each country back together at the same place and the same time in August.
The same event was also the last outdoor competition for the British national teams in 4-way Open (Chimera) and 4-way Women (NFTO). The British 8-way team Groomed competed at Skydive Arizona, as well. None of the British competitors... (more)
Did you know that Rhythm 8 members ended up in the closest Shamrock 4-way battle? posted: Mar 29th, 2021 The small field of teams at the live part of the Shamrock Showdown 2021 at Skydive City generated more than enough exciting competition and interesting information. There was actually no area on the 4-way AAA Class leaderboard that did not have rounds and duels to follow carefully.
Arizona Airspeed did not have any opposition on the top of the leaderboard, and the U.S. indoor champions competed mostly against the competition draw. However, that alone was challenging enough with the 4-way world paying all the attention to the Airspeed performance at the first outdoor competition of the world... (more)
