You don’t need to watch it just know Ishod did a switch laser and still lost.

Ishod was amazing but he was really hurt so game was over before it began.

Where does Dime get all of the money to put this kind of event on?
Special effects,
Stunt men,
Crazy invites,
All of the ramp/ props,
250 G’s to the winners,
Overalls and hard hats, it’s all gotta add up
Seems like a lot of money for a small company ( i can only assume because i don’t see a lot of dime goods where I live).
EDIT: I see on the flyer now that DC sponsored the event... but still
[close]

That should put into perspective how much they invested in the Berrics and why Berra went on the hissy fit when they dropped them and started saying how great Nike is.

DC is much better off investing their money sponsoring this event every year and collaborating with Dime then sponsoring the Borrics. Don't think I've seen anyone come on here and openly back the Berra and co. unless they are blatantly trolling. Dime on the other hand has credibility within the skateboard community from regular people, as well as pros who aren't even on the Dime team. If Dime is good enough for JJ then they are good enough for me.

Would love to make it up to Canada to check this out next year. Do they sell tickets for it or can you just attend?

The payout is legit, and in Canadian dollars.

Now take a moment and think, what if a successful skate company rather than funding a team of 15 guys to fly around the world and film clips, instead they save that money throughout the year and dump all of it into one insane, over the top, amazing fiesta.

This is Dime. This is the future. This is now.

Hahahahahaha - no. All for show.

I'm having a hard time thinking of a tail drop matching that height.  So fucking sick.
I mean this is probably just as high with a shitty landing, but Kader actually stuck it first try.

guys seriously: those are joke checks. the prize money is not 250K each. to put it in perspective each street league event (global circuit, run by nike, olympic precursor, on tv, ticketed, etc) splits roughly that same amount

the entire dgc is not even that expensive, less than 100K (maybe closer to 75) in travel/hotel for competitors, venue, rentals, logistics, insurance. takes place at a skate park with a few funny efx/extras/props. it's free to attend. it's for fun. most people going make their own way there just to hang out and skate. dime is still a small company. like today to wrap up the weekend they're running a jump rump onto a hill bomb, ok. it's not a million dollar party

also: DC's deal w/ berrics is not comparable here, a different time/space/reason. that was a long term partnership with what was once a major platform that DC felt had run its course (true). DC cut a lot of vets/pivoted to a younger team around the same time too remember

No way that prize money is real haha. Take a zero or 2 off each cheque maybe. You tripping if you think Wade actually made $200,000 yesterday.

For me all that came with it was the winnings from the bet i won. Anybody saying this wasn't a great game ask yourself if you could have matched Ishod's tricks, most could not, specially not under that kind of pressure.

If those checks are real, ghat dam!
Also the game of skate was trash...didn't ishod take a letter without trying the trick or did my feed fuck up? Seemed not interested imo.

I also thought those check amounts seemed suspect (weck 50k?) but the other option is that it’s a joke? Jump off a 20 ft+ wall onto a ramp with our name on it and then we will pretend to give your broke ass a big check, but it’s just for show!
If so that’s hilarious for a few reasons

This.

It is gnarly the dude even went out there and pulled off the shit that he did. Also, he hung on for a while on before he got the E. He would miss, push through, and get the trick on the second try. He did this like 4 times. Dude is human and not a robot. We can't expect pros to be skating 100% all the time and we can't expect them always to be tossing down enders.

For Ishod's health it would have been better if he had someone come in after a letter or two (Frank Gerwer would have been amazing!), but to say he didn't try strikes me as a bit extreme, dude pushed through being injured to put on a show for the crowd.

Ishod set sw lazer, fakie bigger flip, sw and reg inward heel, sw and reg varial heel, impossible, and a bunch of other stuff. That alone would have been enough to take out a lot of people. On the defense he landed easily twice as much. Hurt or not, his game would probably have taken out most anybody in the house, especially with the pressure. Ishod is soty for life, anybody suggesting Wade got off easy is a joke.

Ishod is a champ for even playing, his ankle was obviously fucked. Yuris frontshuv nosegrind/crook in the speed challenge was crazy. Dustin Henry's 180 fakie manual on the volcano was nuts. I legitimately thought I was witnessing one of the brians burn to death. I wish Yuri got the hardflip nosegrind. Weck's entrance was legendary. Kader is unreal. So fucking good. Hillbomb contest today was a lot of fun. Long ollie was crazy. Hugo ending the whole thing was nice. Dime really makes skating awesome. So awesome. I have infinite good things to say about the contest. I can't wait until next year.
