I'm too lazy and tired to post any well thought-out or coherent argument...but blue base to red base is faster, not the other way around, as you don't have to climb up the hill and it involves more falling and flying through the air. Believe me, I know-Boarder and I must have scored at least 1000 points in DW in practice, heh. Whenever one of us scores (playing blue), the other captures.

And DW rulez.
