Stressed in Front of the Mayor — Dime’s ‘GLORY’ Video Is Live

Daily News December 4th, 2024 · 2:09 pm

Dime videos have always been calculated exercises in brevity: how do you condense three or four years worth of filming into less than twenty minutes of bangers?

GLORY: The Legend of Dime is expansive. (30 minutes!) It is the crew’s first video in over half-a-decade, and in that time, this very un-serious company got a bit more serious — in the having an actual office, an army of Bryans, paying Jake Johnson and Andrew Reynolds, and hosting an event attended by seventy million people sense of the word “serious.”

Fresh off his Baker debut in their latest, and a surprise appearance in the Marseille boys’ Canada trip video, Team Horton’s, we caught up with QS-favorite, Max Wasungu, to talk Montreal, Dime, jewelry, and what exactly does a sponsor expect from a skater in 2024.

Somewhere Over the Seven Rainbows — The 2022 Dime Glory Challenge

Features & Interviews September 23rd, 2022 · 12:19 pm · 2

It is tough to imagine that the Dime crew went even a day through the grimmest days of lockdown without plotting the next Glory Challenge. (Montreal, by comparison to anywhere in the U.S., had way gnarlier COVID lockdowns.) The early days of the pandemic were fraught with unknowns, which gave way to hyperbole. Large-scale gatherings seemed like a fleeting figment of a recent, unreturnable past. There was that stupid meme mocking us for ever having gone bowling. One friend claimed that casual sex would forever cease to exist — a concept that had already survived the AIDS epidemic.

Kind of knew this day was only a matter of time given how bad the cracks are getting. Community Board 3 held a meeting that laid out a plan for repaving Tompkins next summer. Though it is not a hard date just yet, it looks like the court we all skate will be closed for up to three months while the asphalt cures. Doesn’t seem like they are pulling any silly shit like they did with the turf in 2019. (But they are ending softball permits!) Shout out to the lady who pulled up to the meeting like, “How have you gone talking this long without mentioning the skaters?”

The official Thrasher recap is sure to drop mid-week like it does every time, but people on YouTube already compiled an eight-minute 2022 Dime Glory Challenge best-of.

Four Months ‘Til Banktober — Dime Comp. Volume 7, Another Alexis Lacroix Special Edition

We were out in Montreal last week for the first time since COVID on account of E.T’s pro thing. Staying downtown, you see a ton of the spots made famous by Dime videos, but the ones tied to Alexis Lacroix’s expanding-brain approach to skateboarding maybe stand out the most, especially after not seeing them IRL for 2 1/2 years.

Everyone has a “feel good” song, movie, whatever — something that coincides with a smile no matter what else may be going on in life. Even in the expanse of endless skate content, watching Alexis (the 2019 Q.S.S.O.T.Y.) remains a singular experience of juggling laughs, dropped jaws, and wtf’s.

Though he has lightened up on the eponymous “Oh yeah!” (the origin of which he explained in this post, in addition to his Bunt interview), the three years since we last compiled a Dime Comp have come with more skancing, more skating in the snow, and the occasional cameo from Alexis’ baby daughter ❤️
