In honor of the upcoming 2018 Blading Cup, we are asking a handful of individuals throughout the industry about their past experiences with the staple competition and what their expectations are of this years event. For this installment, we chat with Too Easy founder and BS Backslide master Greg Preston.

MY FIRST BLADING CUP WAS…
2011! I just got back from the Roskilde festival and was super jet-lagged. This was also the first time I drank coffee…
MY FAVORITE BLADING CUP WAS ( YEAR ) AND ( IT WAS MY FAVORITE BECAUSE )
My fav was 2012 I believe? YE YEE YEE, Kevin had us going fucking insane, he was aligned that day, all on TV and shit. Gav Drumm also, after that 540 Bonk/Wallride thing! Demetrious George was all in the crowd, top souling from the top rope on some steel cage match shit. I also brought my N64 Controller, legit pretended to be playing Jon Julio’s Blading the Game, selected CJ Wellsmore and the dude won. You’re welcome CJ…
