Did you know that Guatemala's 4-way team La Playa have plans for USPA Nationals and FAI Outdoor World Meet? posted: Jul 27th, 2022 A new country will join the 4-way competition community this year at the FAI Outdoor World Meet at Skydive Arizona in October. No team from Guatemala has ever competed at a world meet or a world cup, and La Playa will be the first one for the Central American country.
La Playa are not new to the NSL News audience though. Julio Giron, Ramiro Lopez, Juan Merck and Enrique Otzoy, with Fernando Fernandez on camera, competed first time at the May meet of the Arizona Skydiving League 2021. They started in the AA Class and followed up half a year later in the AA/Intermediate Class competition of the... (more)

Did you know that Indoor Cloud League participation keeps growing in Colorado Springs? posted: Jul 26th, 2022 Eric Daniel, Indoor Cloud League organizer of the iFLY Colorado Springs team, started with scores and videos for five of the six sequences in May this year, and he was happy with the outcome of the inaugural event.

Did you know that Martial Ferre still owns the unofficial 8-way indoor world record for a single round? posted: Jul 25th, 2022 The NSL News is going back to the coverage of the 8-way competition of the Paraclete XP Indoor Championship 2022 while the first scores of the Pre-Nationals 2022 have been posted and before the combined leaderboard will be complete.
The first preview of the event on February 22nd had introduced a record number of six Veloce QRF 8-way lineups, which used to be mostly visitors from France and other European countries for the 8-way project that Martial Ferre has been organizing for several years. The original QRF project turned into the 8-way Hell Weak at Paraclete XP's 16-foot flying chamber,... (more)
Did you know that Omni, Chimera and NFTO were on the same British leaderboard in February? posted: Jul 22nd, 2022 The pursuit of two different sets of gold medals at FAI World Championships of Formation Skydiving has been a regular topic for the NSL News since Mathieu Bernier accomplished this for the first and only time in Menzelinsk 2010.
There have been several other teams and competitors who have won silver and bronze in 4-way and 8-way at the same world meet, while the double-gold is still the most special and unlikely goal. In fact, double-silver just happened again at the FAI Tanay Mondial last August, where three members of the French lineup in 4-way Women placed 2nd in 4-way and in 8-way.

Did you know that Skydive Midwest NEXT members had an internal RRR Class competition? posted: Jul 20th, 2022 Two very small meets took place last weekend, and were not connected within the NSL Network to create a larger leaderboard. Sweden held the country's national 4-way championships at a different location, the skydiving center in Vargarda, after many years in Gryttjom.
The different location did not change the outcome, as Echochamber won their 5th consecutive national 4-way title since 2017. The team was formed in 2016 and won their first Swedish gold medals a year later. They attended their first world meet for Sweden in Australia 2018 and would have competed at the FAI Tanay Mondial in August... (more)
