It’s got to be so wild living here and being driven insane by packs of visiting skateboarders for decades — only to watch whoever manages the building’s property put the plaza under construction, then go on to COMPLETELY RESTORE THE THING BRINGING THOSE SKATEBOARDERS THERE into brand-new condition 🤷♀️
J’Adore — Will Marshall’s DC Part
The night before the Dime event in Paris, we were at some random bar (that sold scratch-off tickets …fuck) with Will Marshall, expounding on the virtues of Créteil, the downhill marble ledge spot in the Paris suburbs that was once called the best spot in the world on the pages of this website (until we visited Prague.) Will was less convinced of the hyperbolic status we were atoning it with, mainly because our understanding of skateboard mechanics is too plebeian to notice them. It was like being impressed with some expensive car that a seasoned mechanic knew every flaw of. Nobody present was in the habit of arguing with the hard-earned wisdom of a master, obviously.
ANYWHO, he did mention he had put in some work there regardless (“It’s easy™”), much of which pops up in his Paris-heavy new part for DC.
Did you know every pool table is also a skate spot?
Notes From the Runway — Dime & Vans Live At Paris Fashion Week
This was not the Dime Glory Challenge.
Most of us would be so lucky as to be cursed with authorship a thing that overshadows every other thing we could possibly make after it. Whether it’s a hit song, a pair of baggy Swedish jeans or a logo that could be reproduced into oblivion — making it there is the peak of that 80/20 rule that you always hear about.
But what if your “curse” isn’t a song that you could perform for the rest of your life, or a logo that sells out every time you reprint it? What if it’s an event that requires, say, 18 months of preparation before you begin the high-wire act on the big day?

Pretty much all of our collective experiences of Copenhagen are within the bipolar high that is the Scandinavian Summer. For a bit of a reality check of what it’s like on the opposite side of that seasonal coin, our friends at Dancer dropped an “Endless Winter” montage featuring Hjalte, David Stenström + others. Still seems pretty fun, tbh.
Some nice bits of New York footage in the Charlotte-based AVENUE video parts that have been dropping across a few outlets: Vague has Jermaine Whittaker’s part, which includes a 10/10 Three Up Three Down performance, and Skate Jawn has Ethan Kaplan’s part, which includes a NBD (?) ollie at the white building plaza across from Pyramid Ledges.
Orchard Skateshop Capo, Armin Bachman, has a new mini part out for Pepper Griptape. That bank to curb ender in Barcelona really came out of nowhere 💥
The Duplex crew has a new montage video series on Thrasher, entitled “Low Rent.”
