“After the successful unveiling of the Dime x Vans Slip-On Pro, the two entities hosted the Glory Challenge: an invitational Pro/Am contest specifically designed for non-contest skaters. Unlike your run-of-the-mill contest, the objective was to impart entertainment. In addition to around $7,600 in cash prizes for the winners, to each of the challenge’s victors, spoils of beer, skate decks and pride were bestowed upon them. Non-traditional events like the “Race Challenge” put skaters’ running speeds to the test, while more self-explanatory events like the “Best Tricks Challenge” allowed for skaters to captivate an engaged audience.”
