Montre Livingston wins his third Blading Cup title in California

Montre Livingston has done it again. One of the founding members of Blading Camp has just won the Blading Cup in California, and it’s his third Blading Cup title. He just absolutely smashed it!

Three Blading Cup wins and counting

Winning a contest like Blading Cup once is a moment you remember for the rest of your life. Winning it three times is something else. It takes years of showing up, putting in the sessions and still finding something fresh to bring to the course when everyone already knows your name. Montre’s third Blading Cup win proves that real progression keeps going, year after year, for riders who stay hungry.

One of our own

For us, Montre isn’t just a name at the top of a results list. He was there when Blading Camp was taking its first steps, and he’s part of the coaching crew that riders from all over the world come to skate with. When one of our own wins, the whole family feels it. We hope to see Tre back this year in Malaga!

So we want to say it clearly and from the heart. Congratulations, Montre, on an incredible performance at Blading Cup and a well-earned third title. We’re proud of you, and so is everyone who has ever shared a session, a bus ride or a dinner table with you.

If you’re a beginner, or you’re getting back on skates after a long break, this kind of news is for you too. Watching riders you look up to keep pushing is a reminder that skating doesn’t have an expiry date. You don’t need to be a contest rider to belong in this scene. You just need to keep rolling.

Thank you to the Blading Cup team

Contests don’t run themselves. Behind every course, every heat and every podium there are people giving their time and energy so riders have somewhere to shine. A huge thank you to Jon Julio, Jason Reyna and the entire Blading Cup team. Their endless support of the scene and of its future gives the next generation a stage to grow on.

Events like Blading Cup keep the culture alive. They bring riders together, push the level forward and give younger skaters something to dream about. That matters to all of us who love blading, whether we’re dropping in on a mega ramp or learning our first soul grind at the local park.

We’ll share more as photos and edits from the event come out, and we’ll be cheering Montre on wherever he rolls next. Until then, one message from the whole crew, in Josh’s words: “We support.” Keep up with the latest stories from the scene on our news page.
