My name is Jon Julio, and I’m the founder of the Blading Cup.

This year, we’re raising funds to help cover the construction costs of a new street course for the 2026 Blading Cup, happening November 6 & 7 in Downtown Santa Ana, California.

Since 2011, the Blading Cup has brought together skaters from around the world to celebrate inline skating, competition, creativity, and community. Every year, we work to build something special for the skaters and everyone who comes out to experience the event.

For 2026, we want to take the course to the next level with new ramps and obstacles designed specifically for street skating. Building a course of this size takes a lot of materials, labor, transportation, and production—and we’re asking the community for help to make it happen.

I made this promotional video to share what the Blading Cup represents and to help raise funds for the new course. Every contribution, big or small, will go toward helping us build the ramps and bring this year’s event to life.

If you’ve ever skated the Blading Cup, attended the event, watched it online, or simply believe in supporting the future of inline skating, we’d really appreciate your support.

If you can’t donate, sharing this fundraiser with the skating community helps just as much.

Thank you for supporting the Blading Cup and helping us continue building something for the next generation of skaters.
