Saturday the 3rd Annual Blading Cup event went down in Santa Ana, California, hosted as usual by Jon Julio. With an unusual November sun blasting the course all day, bladers took turns putting the custom-built, Nick Wood-designed obstacles through their paces. There was much to see and plenty to do, and when the day was over blading progression was witnessed and a new champion was crowned. Here’s a look at the event through the photos of Steve Steinmetz while we ready our full coverage for Digi v.3… which you’ll see soon.
