MY FIRST BLADING CUP WAS…
2016 I believe…
MY FAVORITE BLADING CUP WAS ( YEAR ) AND ( IT WAS MY FAVORITE BECAUSE )
My fave Blading Cup was 2017. I skated well enough to advance once and then I got to watch Gav Drumm destroy the course in a style which I can scarcely describe aside from beautifully, beautiful destruction
I’M GOING TO THIS YEAR’S BLADING CUP BECAUSE….
I’m going to blade cup this year cause I love blading and there will be tons of homies I usually see like once a year. Plus a little birdie told me Chase Rushing might be in attendance and I have to meet him in real life. Lastly I have run into physically Randy Spizer on all of my trips to bladecup so I guess that’s a tradition now ha
I LOOK FORWARD TO ( X ) AT THIS YEAR’S BLADING CUP BECAUSE….
I look forward to Ivan’s premiere of the final Valo installment. As well as all the skating and homey times
I THINK ( X ) IS GOING TO WIN THIS YEAR’S BLADING CUP BECAUSE….
I don’t know who to put as winner but , Broskow, Drumm, the homie Sam Croft’s a comp killer and he’s coming over with the London chaps so I would certainly keep him in mind. Zach Savage is also on a tear these days so don’t count him out either, his skating is getting sicker each time I skate with him.
