Dime Glory Challenge 2025: Ten Years of Pure Skateboard Madness

Montreal just lit up for the 10 year anniversary of the Dime Glory Challenge, and if you thought this thing couldn’t get any wilder, you clearly haven’t been paying attention.

A Decade of Glory

What started back in 2015 as a rogue warehouse jam with no judges, no scoring, just skaters, smoke, and mayhem has turned into one of skateboarding’s most legendary annual gatherings. Two years off left a hole in the calendar, but for 2025 the crew came back swinging bigger than ever at IGA Stadium, transforming the place into a skate circus.

The Challenges: Fire, Dodgeballs, and Pure Chaos

This year’s setups weren’t just obstacles, they were borderline fever dreams:

• Volcano Challenge: a flaming spine ramp that had dudes literally blasting over fire.
• Valdez Challenge: roll in to a sketchy narrow ledge that separated the brave from the hospital bills.
• Pyramid Challenge: four skaters sharing one pyramid, improvising lines mid air, chaos guaranteed.
• Dodgeball Challenge: hucking balls at skaters mid trick, because why not?
• Big Bank Challenge: a twisted rail and bank setup straight out of a skatepark fever dream.

The whole thing was backed by a raging crowd and DJ beats, where the real judging system was simple: the louder the noise, the better the trick.

The Vibe: Party Meets Performance

Forget clipboards and score sheets. Dime Glory Challenge has always been about entertainment first. The 10 year edition doubled down on that. A kickoff block party on Thursday set the tone, Saturday turned into Sunday with weather delays but no loss of energy, and the weekend wrapped with the Dime Street Challenge, a raw celebration of street skating right in the heart of the city.

Who Ripped

Skaters from all over pulled up, but a couple names stamped themselves into the weekend: Pedro Barros,​ Una Farrar,​ Elijah Berle,​ Nick Michel,​ Geoff Rowley, Diego Todd,​ Curren Caples,​ Breana Geering,​ Tristen Funkhouser,​ Ruby Lilley​, Lizzie Armanto, Rome​ Doobie,​ ET,​ Daiki​ Junior,​ Max Wasungu​, and Leon Chapdelaine​ and Jaime Foy were ripping among SO many others.

Why It Matters

Ten years deep, the Dime Glory Challenge isn’t just a contest. It’s performance art with skateboards, a love letter to creativity, danger, and fun. It’s the kind of event where anything can happen, and usually does. Montreal keeps proving it’s home to the most unpredictable and electric weekend in skateboarding.

Here’s to the next ten years of fire, rails, and pure glory.
