Did you know that the USPA Intermediate Class competition may offer more excitement than expected? posted: Aug 19th, 2022 The latest scores on the NSL leaderboard came from the August meet of the Midwest Skydiving League, where SDC Rhebellion XP posted their first results of the 2022 season. It has been a very different year for the Midwest team, compared to the 2021 season, when they attended a total of six meets.
It is exactly the same lineup (Aga Horoszko, Kelsey Strock, Eric Bambach, Greg Bush, Amanda Elkin on camera) who are coming back in the same slots as last year. It sounds like a great situation to pursue the goal that the team had set at the beginning of the year. SDC Rhebellion XP were planning to turn... (more)
Did you know that Craig Girard and Kirk Verner have double-duty experiences for Jeana Billings and Michelle Karamon? posted: Aug 16th, 2022 The latest NSL News visit at Skydive Paraclete XP happened when the XP8-way team had scheduled their next outdoor training camp. It did not start out perfectly due to the current weather situation in North Carolina, and the first training day had to be called after only two jumps in the morning.
The weather forecast was not much better for Tuesday, and XP8 took once again advantage of the proximity to Paraclete XP's 16-foot flying chamber. However, even the weather situation on Monday had its benefits, as the team members had enough time for other activities, including a new NSL Live Talk conversation.
It... (more)

Kyle Hermberg's team took it after 12 consistent months in 2021, despite the difficulties caused by the corona virus crisis.
Hurricane Factory and Paraclete XP had complete sets of scores and videos for the first half of 2022, as well, before new troubles, this time on the political and economical side in the Czech Republic, interfered with Jan Klapka's Indoor Cloud League plans.

Did you know that Italy's Squadra Militare Femminile followed up at the CISM World Championships? posted: Aug 14th, 2022 The NSL News had introduced the Squadra Militare Femminile at the FAI Indoor World Cup 2022. It was the first time since the FAI Outdoor World Meet 2004 that a 4-way Women team from Italy attended FAI world meets or world cups, either indoors or outdoors.
Italy had a consistent presence at the FAI events since the 4-way Women category was introduced in 2000. The last national team, Kewara, missed the FAI bronze medal position twice, first in 2003, followed by a 2-point battle with Ladybirds from Russia in 2004.
Kewara had a reunion at the Italian Outdoor Nationals 2015, while still no other... (more)
Did you know that the DeLand Norgies won again at their latest reunion? posted: Aug 11th, 2022 The NSL News reported a month earlier a year ago that Kjetil Nordin had won national 4-way and 8-way titles in Norway and Denmark both. The timing for his almost annual travel agenda back and forth between the two Scandinavian countries was not favoring a similar situation this year.
Denmark and Norway scheduled their national outdoor championships of 2022 on the same date, and the most passionate 4-way and 8-way competitor had to make a choice where he would compete this time. He staid in Norway and attended both Formation Skydiving events as usual.
He witnessed once again the next comeback... (more)
