Did you know that Denmark was aiming at 4-way gold medals in 2006?
posted: Feb 11th, 2004 It happens once in a while that FAI medals don't go to the three mighty Formation Skydiving powerhouses (United States, France, Russia) at the FAI world meets. NMP PCH HayaBusa, who have been dominating the 4-way event since 2014, are the best current example that a small country like Belgium can create these exceptions. Denmark did not win 4-way or 8-way gold, however, the national 4-way teams of 1993 (Team DK) and 1995 (Touché) won two sets of FAI bronze medals. Denmark's newly formed national team after the FAI World Meet 2003 had plans to copy the success, as Pete Allum explained in an... (more)

Did you know that HayaBusa defeated NMP at the Belgian qualification in 2004?
posted: Feb 9th, 2004 HayaBusa and Airspeed are probably in another competition for the most popular words and names in the NSL News database. Both teams go farther back in time than the current NSL website, and Arizona Airspeed is even several years ahead of NMP PCH HayaBusa. The NSL News has been publishing interviews with Formation Skydiving celebrities that were recorded before SKYLEAGUE.COM was launched in 2003. There were also a few NSL News updates of these earliest days of online event and news coverage that were added into the database, and there will be plenty of more to come after all the early interviews...

Did you know that the European Skydiving League continues to grow?
posted: Jan 30th, 2004 While the teams in the U.S.A. are only two weeks away from the first competition of the new year, the European Skydiving League will launch the 2004 season in April. NSL teams can already attend the Valentine's Meet 2004 at Skydive Arizona on February 14-15 that has now been included in the schedule of the Southwest Skydiving League. The Florida Skydiving League will be next on March 12-14 with the third version of the FSL Shamrock Showdown at Skydive DeLand. SSL and FSL will then hold their second season meet in April before the European Skydiving League will run its first 2004 competition... (more)

Did you know that Denmark has plans for a new pursuit of medals at the World Meet?
posted: Jan 24th, 2004 The NSL News interviewed Sebastian XL member Pete Allum in November last year. The full-time coach and world class competitor had just moved to DeLand and was hired as the new national coach of the Danish 4-way team. Allum mentioned in the interview that "the team will make 800 – 1000 jumps each year, up to 2006." He added that the team has great plans: "The objective is to stand on the podium in 2006." The NSL News followed up on the interview with the Danish project manager, Flemming Nøddegaard and asked for more information. Nøddegaard provided the NSL News with a copy of the project documentation. The... (more)

Did you know that Norway had a new national team with national coach Lise Aune?
posted: Jan 8th, 2004 The previously recorded and unpublished interviews from the NSL News archives concluded for the 2003 season with Jerome David on 29 December 2003. DeLand Norgies member Lise Nansen-Aune, triple bronze medalist of 1999, 2001 and 2003, was the first Formation Skydiving celebrity discussing topics at the beginning of the new year. She had spent several years visiting Skydive DeLand in Florida mostly for training camps in the winter, and she eventually moved to DeLand. She attended her last world meet in 2003 in pregnancy and continued for a few more months and meets before taking a break from active... (more)
