    Blades bend a LOT further than you realize. Occasionally I can catch a glimpse of it when reffing but really it takes pictures like these to show you what's actually very common.

    True. Seeing things paused or in slow motion does make everything look more impressive, though!

    But, still, out of simple curiousity I'd like to know the exact blade someone like A. Baldini uses. I don't suppose I'll find the answer any time soon.

    This could be because your question is too vague to be answered properly, or, because you dont like the answers already given.

    I guarantee Someone Like Andrea Baldini uses a heavily canted 10/06 BF white.

    Naw, he's just messing with you. It's well known that Baldini uses one of the new gold-plated carbon fiber blades from France-Lames.

    Hello, thanks for answering how the people stay in the air for their picture to be taken. My club has some great s-bended blades (also in the horizontal plane) but my club mates and me can't stay in the air very long. We have found jumping higher helps us stay in the air for longer but this sounds like it is probably a better idea.
