Did you know that the remaining NSL SkyVenture Competition results of the August 14 and 21 weekends are posted? posted: Aug 30th, 2004 The August 14 weekend had teams from Florida, Virginia, the Northwest and Midwest competing. It was hurricane Charley's weekend in Florida, and only DeLand Scape managed to complete two rounds on a vacated drop zone in DeLand after the Florida Skydiving Center in Lake Wales was severely damaged. The teams in Virginia could also complete only two rounds, which left the SkyVenture tunnel time available only for the eligible teams from the Northwest and Midwest. (more)

Did you know that the Florida Skydiving League has scheduled a make-up event in Lake Wales for this weekend? posted: Aug 24th, 2004 It was a bizarre week for the NSL headquarters in DeLand, Florida. Hurricane Charley left a devastating trail on its way across the state, which included the DeLand area. Skydive DeLand was without electricity for days, homes of local skydivers were without water and air condition for several days. However, the NSL office, which is located very close to the airport, did not have any problems at all with Charley.
The weather strike came with a delay for the NSL. When most of the victims of the hurricane had recovered, the building with the home of the NSL was struck by lightning last Friday,... (more)
Did you know that Northwest Skydiving League teams saw some snow in Snohomish last weekend? posted: Aug 19th, 2004 The 3rd Northwest Skydiving League Meet was held on August 14 at Skydive Snohomish.
