quade 4 #3 September 28, 2001 There are two basic types of blade running.The most common type being held recently is a form of pond swooping wherein the contestants build up speed and fly horizontally through a course of wind blades.The second type is a course of wind blades set on essentially a snow ski slalom course. There is no real need to build up excessive speed since the course itself continues downhill.Within each type there can be various sub-contests for speed, accuracy ect.Both types are amazing things to watch.Paulfuturecam.com/skydive.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
