Bone-rattling slams, top-tier cameos and visions of death terrorize the newest installment of Ryan Maddox's Southwest series. From Jake the Jeweler's opening rip to Jon Rogers' closing clips, the legacy of brutality continues.

On Saturday January 18, 2025, the infamous Vans Combi Pool in Orange, CA was opened for one last bash. End of an era? The icing on the cake? Yes and yes. Thank you, Steve Van Doren

Lance celebrated his 60th with a massive exhibition of art, photos and memorabilia from his singular career. Join Lucero, Koston, Kirchart, GT, Hosoi and more heroes and heavies as they take it all in.

The Legends, Masters and Pros all descended upon the Combi Bowl for the 2018 Vans Pool Party, which coincided with Cinco de Mayo. The holiday vibe was definitely infectious and everybody got sick as F! How do these things just keep getting gnarlier?!

This year’s Pool Party was even more festive than usual as it fell on Cinco De Mayo, and the opening ceremony was kicked off with a traditional mariachi band cranking out tunes next to the bowl.

Broken boards equals broken dreams. Chris Russell had it in the bag but one too many hang-ups enabled Tom Schaar to spin his way to the top. Meanwhile, Pedro Barros stole the show with a death defying NBD. 10 years of the Pool Party and this was the best one yet! Cheers, Vans!

Rhino comes through with some photos from the Pool Party. Check them out here.

The Combi got heated up this weekend at the Vans 10th Annual pool party, Congratulations to 1st Place winners Chris Miller Legends, Bruno Passos Masters and Tristan Rennie Pro.

A full on Bones Brigade reunion set off the Masters division and Steve Caballero didn't care whether it was the Birdman's birthday or not as he ripped his way to another first place finish.
