Yup. ^-^

Ribbon blade is a sport where several ribbons hang across a stage, the performers then have to hope across the ribbons performing aerobatic feats while dodging or deflecting knives being fired at them.

The classic events are the original form of ribbon blade. It is set in a large circular or cube like arena with a multitude of reinforced ribbons going across the arena at several angles and directions with a small stand in the middle of the arena. The athletes take a turn to stand on the podium until their round begins. They then ride and leap across the ribbons for five minutes while being shot at by specialized turrets firing thin blades. Points are given for style, dodging and blocking knives.

Battle events feature two to four opponents facing each other in battle with official weapons and armor made for ribbon blade. The athletes have to attack their opponent and be the last man or woman standing. If you touch the ground you are disqualified from the match.

Teams up to five people are allowed in these matches. The teams select which team member will enter which match. The team with the most amount of wins will win the round. If there's a draw, the teams who drawed will choose who will enter a final one on one match. The victor will win the round for their team.

All contestants are allowed to have armor out of any material. The armor isn't a requirement for Classic events, but it is for battle events due to the high risk involved.

Weapons usually are given to the contestant their basic forms. Contestants can then choose their weapons preferences like color, long-range and short range attachments. The modifications to the weapons have to be checked to make sure none of the attachments are upgraded or used with the purpose of killing their opponent. Almost all types of weapon forms are allowed as long as they are checked out and approved by judges.

The rollorblades have to be tailor made for the contestant to make sure that they're durable, lightweight and give the user a good sense of balance. For beginners, usually a gyroscope is inbuilt to help the contestant.
