Did you know that NMP PCH HayaBusa's Michele Silvi follows Italian 4-way progression carefully? posted: Nov 16th, 2022 The recent NSL News updates of the Flyspot Open 2022 connected mostly the home teams from Poland with the visiting teams from the Czech Republic. There is still additional information related to the same topics that will be covered later, as well.
However, the NSL News makes a short geographical turn to other teams on the AAA Class leaderboard, which may not have been expected at Flyspot Katowice in Poland. The Czech teams from the eastern part of the country don't have to drive much to visit the Flyspot windtunnel in Katowice, while the road trip from the Prague area in the Czech Republic is... (more)
Did you know that Flyspot Sky4Four and HF Flying Circus dueled at their first outdoor world meet? posted: Nov 15th, 2022 The NSL News has recently covered the transition from outdoor to indoor training and competition, and vice versa, as the first and easier part of this transition is happening right now. The outdoor competition season is basically over after the national championships and the major FAI/ISC events, either a world championship or a world cup.
Some teams continue with regular outdoor training throughout the whole winter season, which usually requires traveling to a location where the weather conditions are good enough. It is worth the effort, as it makes the unavoidable reverse transition to outdoor... (more)
Did you know that the new Czech 4-way junior lineups completed 20 meet rounds within three days? posted: Nov 14th, 2022 The transition from outdoor training and competition to the indoor environment is a lot easier than the other way around. The entry into a flying chamber of a windtunnel does not simulate an exit from a jump plane realistically, and the first page of a sequence does not take place in sub-terminal air and with the vision of a horizon that looks differently.
This is the time of the year with the easier transition from outdoors to indoors, and the Czech national team in 4-way Open was the first one in competition, as the NSL News reported on November 11th. HF Flying Circus represented the Czech... (more)
Did you know that five Air Force teams took on the Indoor Cloud League October sequences for iFLY Colorado Springs? posted: Nov 13th, 2022 The cooperation between the founders of the Indoor Cloud League team at iFLY Colorado Springs, Emily Bombardi and Eric Daniel, and the 4-way teams of the Air Force Academy in Colorado began in September this year, three months after the first Indoor Cloud League event at the second iFLY windtunnel in Colorado, as the NSL News reported on October 9th.
Four Air Force lineups participated in the September event, and one of them (Air Force Night Fury) contributed 22 points for the AA Class sequence to iFLY Colorado Springs' Indoor Cloud League total for September.
The same four Air Force teams... (more)
Did you know that Czech Rebels and Chameleons have started their next race for the junior top spot? posted: Nov 11th, 2022 It did not take too long until the Czech national team in 4-way Open, HF Flying Circus, were back in action. The indoor season opener of the Czech Tunnel League was scheduled for Wednesday this week at the Hurricane Factory in Prague, little over a week after Round 10 of the FAI Outdoor World Meet 2022 at Skydive Arizona.
Dagmar Bezdekova, Martina Vavackova, Lukas Kaderabek and Jakub Klapka were probably still adjusting to the jet-lag of the 9-hour time difference between Arizona and Czech Republic. David Brabec, team videographer in Eloy, was not needed at the indoor competition.
The quick... (more)
Did you know that teams from the southern parts of America celebrated together in Eloy? posted: Nov 10th, 2022 The American continent, south of Canada and the United States, has not had very consistent presence in 4-way Open at FAI World Championships of Formation Skydiving since 1985. Nine of the 20 world meets in this time period took place without any teams from this part of the world.
Teams from eight different countries (Brazil, Chile, Argentina, Venezuela, Mexico, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay) competed randomly at the other 11 world meets. Brazil was represented more than all other countries of the same region and attended nine events. Argentina was in 2nd place with three visits at world meets,... (more)
