posted Aug 25th, 2010 - The NSL News brought the 21.2 average that SDC Rhythm XP posted at the August meet of the Midwest Skydiving League to the attention of the audience with the story on 15 August 2010.

The same story provided an overview of Rhythm's progress over the years and the current situation just a few weeks before the team's main event of the year, the USPA Nationals 2010. It was the record weekend with two different leaderboards and scores of a total of 93 teams on both leaderboards together. Rhythm videos of the Midway Battle 2010 were uploaded and featured at that time.

Another meet story on 17 August 2010 provided a meet report written by MWSL Director Alan Butt. He covered the competition of the MWSL teams at the Chicagoland Skydiving Center, which hosted a meet in its 12th consecutive year with the Midwest Skydiving League.

MWSL Director Alan Butt now provided the meet videos of this competition where the MWSL teams took very respectable positions on the overall leaderboard. By the way, the Norgies posted excellent scores that weekend, but they were not able to catch SDC Rhythm XP on the top of the AAA Class rankings. The NSL News is hoping to follow up on the Norwegian Nationals 2010 with videos of the competition, as well.

NSL-TV begins the video coverage of the MWSL August meet with SDC Rhythm XP's six competition rounds. Videos of the other MWSL teams will be uploaded very soon, as well. The Midwest Skydiving League still has one more meet on the 2010 schedule (August 28), which will serve as the last test for the local and regional teams before the USPA Nationals 2010.

SDC Rhythm XP at the MWSL August Meet

SDC Rhythm XP is one of the busiest teams this year. That fits to the new professional agenda of the team members who turned into full time skydivers this year. The NSL News reported the tryouts for the open Tail slot and the goals for 2010 at the end of last year.

Rhythm attended six competitions, indoor and outdoor, so far, and the results are impressive and still promising for the upcoming meets. The new top contender will have the next opportunity at the USPA Nationals to check out the distance to the other US world class teams, such as Arizona Airspeed and Perris Fury.

The new videos show that Rhythm is getting closer to handling the challenging sequences like the best teams in the world. The 19-pointer for the 3-block sequence in Round 1 is one example. Not too many teams have joined the 20+ elite club of 4-way teams so far.
