MY FAVORITE BLADING CUP WAS ( YEAR ) AND ( IT WAS MY FAVORITE BECAUSE )
My favorite Blading Cup was 2014 because we hit rain the whole day and w/ a ‘lil faith the sun came out. Made the air nice and crisp.

I’m going to Blading Cup this year because you just can’t not go. It’s the event of the year haha.
I LOOK FORWARD TO ( X ) AT THIS YEAR’S BLADING CUP BECAUSE….
Definitely looking forward because every year more people are really understanding the meaning of Blading Cup and that really creates and pushes the beautiful reality and essence of our culture… Also every year more kids and bladies show up and rip even harder!
I THINK ( X ) IS GOING TO WIN THIS YEAR’S BLADING CUP BECAUSE….
