Did you know that Italy has won three sets of FAI world meet medals? posted: Sep 29th, 2021 Yesterday's update from Italy, with the results of this year's national outdoor championships, included a few names of 4-way competitors who have been regulars at international events over many years, as well. The same names initiated a closer look at the country's history in Formation Skydiving competition.
Livio Piccolo, Luca Marchioro (Amnesya) and Placido Udine (eX3MO) trained and competed with Italian teams who have won two of the country's three sets of FAI world meet medals. The NSL News have covered Livio Piccolo's and Luca Marchioro's bronze medals with Sinapsi PD in 2006 in several... (more)
Did you know that Amnesya defended the Italian 4-way title with a Sinapsi center? posted: Sep 28th, 2021 The Italian Outdoor Nationals featured once again the AAA Class duel between Amnesya and eX3MO, which has been happening every year since Amnesya became a serious opponent for the most experienced Italian 4-way team, eX3MO.
Giuseppe Cossu launched the Amnesya team project with Antonio Nardelli, Alessandro Romeo and Daniele Scandola in the lineup in 2015 and won the AA Class at their first national championships. Amnesya moved up into the AAA Class a year later, and the 2017 lineup (Chiara Brunetti, Giuseppe Cossu, Antonio Delogu, Michele Silvi) became the first serious challenger for eX3MO.

Did you know that Midwest and Arizona teams collected their final meet experiences before the USPA Nationals? posted: Sep 27th, 2021 Scores of the Italian Nationals have replaced the September results of the NSL Network. The NSL News will soon follow up with more information from Italy, where the reigning Amnesya 4-way champions defended their title once again successfully without their former member Michele Silvi, who is now a new 4-way world champion with NMP PCH HayaBusa.

Did you know that the Monaco Parachute Team is back for outdoor training and competition? posted: Sep 24th, 2021 It was in August 2015 when the Monaco Parachute Team attended their last outdoor competition. It was the French national championship, where the Monaco members have been competing since they started skydiving. The NSL News had introduced the Monaco team project with an overview on 18 May 2007.
Two of the original ream members, Jeff Ronzevalle and Didier Boignon, were former French national champions and competed for France at several world meets and world cups. They were not done yet with 4-way and 8-way competition and finally formed the Monaco Parachute Team, with some support by the constitutional... (more)
Did you know that it takes all attention and a full-hearted change of lifestyle to become a 4-way world champion? posted: Sep 23rd, 2021 The NSL News had the complete current lineup of Arizona Airspeed available for NSL Live Talk several times since it was formed for the new Airspeed 4-way cycle, beginning with the 2020 season.
Usually the conversations are taking place when NSL News and Airspeed visit the same events. However, NSL Live Talk eventually had to adjust to the realities of the corona virus crisis, as well, and many of the interviews were recorded on Zoom. They were still live and unfiltered, even though the actual live atmosphere was surely different.
It seems unlikely that the logistics of NSL Live Talk at events... (more)
Did you know that British Army Volt4ge and Belgian High Voltage are both national AA Class champions? posted: Sep 22nd, 2021 One of the twelve teams on the Belgian leaderboard started even later, compared to AAA Class teams Ayro and Falco, and still went through all three competition classes. High Voltage launched their team project in 2018, and four of the original team members (Lena Clynhens, Evelyne Wauters, Maxim Paternoster, Johannes Wirt on camera) have moved from the Rookie Class of 2018 to AA competition this year.
High Voltage are actually the new Belgian AA Class champions, as the two 4-way teams from Qatar could not win medals. High Voltage will probably join Ayro, Falco and Phoenix on the AAA Class leaderboard... (more)
