The greatest show on Planet Earth returns to Montreal. Go beyond the posts with all the photos from Satan's dodgeball to the most sackable spine ever conceived. —Penny Pynchon

Montreal, get in the mood! First night, we're rockin' the block with a blowout. Let's see who made it out

It ain't a party without our guy Z

Yo, twin! We got Big Sexy and Shecks on the scene

Eunice without a mic, Shari without a camera and Fabi without a board?! Fuck it, y'all derserve a night off

Oh shit! DARUDE is here!

Over a quarter century later, and it's still the hardest drop of all time

Cheers to a great first night. Now let's use those things

First day out and we in these streets. What, you thought Foy wouldn't bring the fam?!

Damn! Lookin' like a GOAT farm out here

Atiba got friends everywhere! Like Lill Dre and KB

The crowd's getting antsy

And the ledge is dry! Time to slide down the block

TJ Rogers brings the SSBSTS. Doesn't get any classier

Alright, Boss, where we goin'?

Down the street to see a dude vape in his Thrasher hoodie? Might have to zoom in to see it

Wheels up, arms up, Alexis always sparks the session

Petar gets some bomb hill therapy with Hugo in hot pursuit

Shirtless Rando, this is your moment of glory!

Worth it

One more run?

Low center of gravity, good strategy

Hugo hops an oncoming train

Wings down, legs up, that's the way Madars gets buck

Time is a flat circle with Valdez hands in the middle. Alexis finishes what he started so we can get ready for the big day

Speaking of Valdez! Rotisarie Chicken links up with the legend himself

And also speaking of LEGENDS! It's the good homie Beelzebub. Alright, let's get into the stadium. Maybe we'll see him later

Conor and Bryan get things in order

The first rail is secured

Let's fucking go!

Two stairs? Nah, two stars! Petar and Shanahan get it goin'

Louie hops to it, back blunt

A little bit longer now?

What do you think Shecks?!

He never disappoints a crowd. Extended back lip into the slant

Montreal, get those fuckin' hands up!

Glory Challenge MVP, Ryan Decenzo returns to the Stadium, 360 flip over ten stairs into Mount Everest

The war is over, edgy front lip

Max Wasungu slays the snake, pole jam 50-50. What you got, Berle?

Frontside 5-0 down the whole fuckin' mountain?! That might be it

But wait?! What's Bryan up to now?

A rail built for one man, and one man alone. Jamie Foy, the dragon slayer closes out the first challenge with a pole jam 50 from tail to teeth

Shecks and Shod in utter disbelief

We can't believe it either

New challenge loading...

Meanwhile, a mask emerges in the crowd. Sticker still on the sole

It's our old friend, San Francisco's skinny-ledge god JOE VALDEZ! Put those fuckin' hands up one more time!

Good job, Felipe!

Never conventional, Alexis takes a seat through safe passage

Nora, no!!!

Alright, this is gettin' dicey. Felipe hops the lava with Sheckler takin' notes

Or maybe just biding his time. Big O across the chasm. Could it get any crazier?!

Of course it can! Foy flies a straight line to safe landing. Goddamn!

Even the stars are struck

Time for some new shit?

A new challenge emerges

The most perilous pyramid on this side of the Nile. Giza is probably on the same side, but that just shows how deadly this shit is

Montreal, if you wanna keep the show goin', just give me a signal!

And it's on

Starting off with the crowdpleaser—Sheckl-AIR!

The sarcophagus rises, but John goes higher

 And Curren clears it while cuttin' the grass

Even higher, Pedro Barros sends a frontside grab into the stratosphere

Backed up by Top Gun Tom Schaar to seal the deal

That's it for the pyramid, but looks like our friend's back for intermission. Everyone, grab a ball!

First shot

Chloe keeps a cool head

Nora too

Frankie's hit!

Lizzie with the no-looker catch! 

It's a straight up firefight

After the battle, we got some good news. Impending nuptials!

And that brings us to our final phase of this Glory Challenge. Who will survive the first-ever double-sided volcano?! Ruby and Lizzie start off strong

Backside flip over the top? Might have to add some danger 

That's more like it. Jimmy Wilkins transfers after teetering on the forbidden 14

And once again our heroes emerge victorious. Pedro glides in glory, sword in hand

And the money shot. Tom Schaar gives one more nod to Joe before taking the plunge and closing the door on another unforgettable Dime Glory Challenge

Thank you again to everyone that made it happen and the fine folks at Dime, Vans, Red Bull, Molson, skate, Yeti and Dewalt
