Turd Season

2012 • 23 min

As far as skate videos go, the Dimestore ones are probably as sick as they get. The comical dimension is at least as entertaining as the skating and with parts from guys like Charles Rivard or Antoine Asselin, that says a lot. Just like in their previous videos, Dime Turd Season transports you to the grimy streets Montreal with its crackheads and street fights, whilst staying loyal to their trademark recurring images and their unpredictable soundtracks. It just goes to show that the best skate videos come from the guys who don’t take themselves too seriously, no matter how talented they are.
