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
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.
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?
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
