The Dime Glory Challenge turned ten this year.
If you watch that first recap video from 2015, which was in a warehouse — and feels comparatively slapped together like you had a long weekend to bring your drunk, late-night “wouldn’t it be sick if” skate event fever dream to fruition — you get the sense that everyone there knows each other.
Our friends at Skate Jawn celebrated their 15th birthday last week. To commemorate, they brought a 1999 Toyota Camry and Hell Camino to K-Bridge and skated them.
Seems like there’s a new sub-genre of skate content brewing where we all try to get to the bottom of what’s the “matter,” “wrong” or “off” about skateboarding. Bubble just dropped one boldly called “A Few Theories Why Skateboarding Got Old And Is Not Cool Anymore.” (Their sources aren’t anonymous like ours were.) Can’t help but point out that other interests that hold this media empire together (rap, NBA basketball, etc.) have also been the subjects of recent “OMG WHAT’S THE MATTER” panics, and pretty sure those’ll be fine. Like what’s doing “well” as a “culture” in 2025 even mean? The bop house?
We remade the classic QS arch hats for the first time in a long time! Now available in the QS webstore 🛍 These are webstore only for now. Thank you for the support, as always ❤️ Photo by Jason Lecras.
It appears we have a clear frontrunner for a top slot on 2023’s year-end accolades: Zach Sayles uploaded Matt Militano’s part from Veil over the long weekend. Everything from cellar door wizardry (the wallride to slappy crook on the brick window-sill…) to extended Muni choreography to the physics-defying ender cements this one up there in contention with Curren, Mason, and… who else?
W O W: Solo interviewed Darude about “Sandstorm” and his feelings about it becoming the official anthem of the Dime Glory Challenge. He’s a skater! Truly is heartwarming when worlds harmoniously collide like this; it’s like Ed Bacon skating Love Park-level of beautiful.

Alex Greenberg hit New York’s first-ever concrete park with Oski back when it was a bit warmer, and came back with an enjoyable lil’ edit. Salute to the yellow shirt.
“Little Blue Star” is a great new edit by Jake Kuzyk featuring a bunch of Canadian friends.
Our friends at Dancer in Copenhagen released an iPhone part with Hjalte Halberg and David Stenström. Cross dissolves are back, baby!
Young legend Coles Bailey is the latest subject of Skate Jawn‘s “$100 Chill” feature.
“‘If I was looking defeated, I would have been finishing rehab at the physical therapy place at Moda Center,’ says Boserio. ‘I looked at that drop-in twice a week for like nine months while I recovered from ACL surgery — thinking about how I should do it.'” Al Brown unlocks memories and recounts the joys of seeing skateboarding out in the wild before it makes its way into a video, via the prism of the Polar team filming in Portland for their past two videos.
ICYMI: Cyrus, Max, Karim + the rest of the Limosine team hit Oregon and Washington state, and brought back this edit + photo feature for Thrasher.
