Thrasher Magazine

After clocking countless hours on the board, Globe made the executive decision to hook Sammy Montano up with his own custom colorway of the Dion Pro, a casual surf shoe turned skate footwear. With eight months spent filming a part through Paris, Belgium, Berlin, New York, San Francisco and Las Vegas, it was a no-brainer to get all the homies together to throw a party in celebration of the finish line being crossed. So Thursday night Orange County and LA’s finest rolled out to the El Dorado bar in Downtown Los Angeles to celebrate with Sammy and have a few drinks on the house. Congrats, Sammy! –Papke

You know it’s big time when your name’s on the sign

Reservations have been made!

Light-up shoe display? Not bad, guys

There he is! The man of the hour

Homies are never bummed on an open tab!

Always gotta find the matching dudes. Danny and Jonathon—think they planned it?

Who doesn’t love a free T? Definitely not leaving empty-torso’d

No strangers to the bar, Aaron Jupin and Ryan Townley

The whole Montano squad made it out!

Decenzo wasn’t feeling the free-drinks wristbands

And by the looks of it was a pretty disappointed not to come up on a free shirt

All he really needed was a mojito to calm the nerves. Ah, much better

Huf boys Dakota Mullins and Justin Drysen

Darius King, Zac Coyne and filmer Andy Licardi. Make sure to look out for them in the next Control Room montage coming to the site sooner than later

Mighty and the boys made their way down from The Valley

Paul had to hit Sammy’s grandfather with a proper shake. Can’t go wrong with that hat!

Acosta and Aaron Brown on the other side of the lens for once

It’s not a party without James Craig! Paul already knows

Now that’s one hell of an entrance

Al wasn’t slowing down on the dance floor anytime soon

Drysen had his back! Doesn’t count if you don’t have the footy

Sammy was hyped to get a song from Autolux for his part and even more stoked to have the drummer and vocalist Carla Azar in the crowd!

David Rodriguez was busting his ass whipping up drinks all night

One hell of a roommate combo. Paul’s a Red Dragon at heart

Two thumbs up from these two SOTYs

Party can’t start until Luis Cruz gets his drink. Point him in the right direction, James!

Bublitz knows it’s easier to closeout earlier than later

The crowd couldn’t wait much longer for the video

James had a feeling it was gonna be a good one. One more cheers to get it going

Exactly what we’ve been waiting for

The results are in…

Unanimous approval

And they couldn’t be more stoked

Now that the stressful part is over, it’s time to unwind

That’s a wrap! Thanks to Globe for having us out for one hell of a night. Click around the site and find Sammy’s part playing now—you don’t wanna miss it. Congrats on the shoe, dude!
