📝 Interview by Adam Abada
When we were chatting with Will for his interview that ran back in September, we stayed on for a bonus Five Favorite Parts epilogue to keep on ice. Given Will’s closer in the latest Augustin Giovannoni-helmed Dime video, this week felt as good of a time to drop it as any ;)
Word from our dozens of satellite offices across Canada is that the first snow hit Montreal this past weekend. And with that, the Canadian Weather Service demanded that Dime release “Enjoy The Winter Now,” a quick send off to warmer times when stragglers would hang out the week after Glory Challenge, basking in the bipolar high that is Montreal in the summertime.
Unlike past Dime projects, this one is helmed by one of our favorite videographers, and Parisian expat, Augustin Giovannoni. (Favorite memory of Glory Challenge this past year wasn’t even actually at Glory Challenge: we were eating at Doubles after it ended and Nonni came in swinging one of the plastic swords floating around the event all day, knocked over a clock on the wall, which then knocked over ten beers on the table like it was a perfect strike in bowling. Couldn’t write it if you tried.)

Yoooo… calling this edit from David Mauvais and his crew a “footy dump” is crazy. The front board body varial bigspin thing in The Bronx, the ollie off the manny pad at Seventh and Greenwich, the switch tre lip, wow. All New York x New Jersey x Philly clips.
“Floorspace” is a very sick upstate New York edit from Martin Wilson. Great filming, cutty spots, fast skating, timeless vibes.

As of this week, contractors started work towards a skateable restoration of the Small Banks.
The first step [visible above] is digging out the mulch patches that were added in when the city made the Small Banks unskateable in November of 2004. The goal is to resurface the gaps with bricks, creating a clean pathway to the bank.
