In the realm of bowl skateboarding competitions,
nothing compares to the Vans Combi Pool Party.
The combi’s design and construction alone,
bring out the very best tricks, runs and styles.
And Vans as a big traditional company, supporting park
skateboarding with it’s structure, makes it all possible,
accessible and enjoyable. The event is an almost
cult-like experience where the skating speaks for itself.
This 4 minute clip is an attempt to capture just that:
some of the very best skating that happened on May 13.
For a complete list of participants, categories and results,
please refer to the World Cup of Skateboarding website.

Vans Pool Party 201
Vans Pool Party is one of the best contests of the year and has been for over a decade. The energy and level it goes to is unmatched. No other contest gives you 12 year olds to fifty year olds ripping it up and keeping the crowd stoked for hours. Here’s a small photo recap of the some of those moments this past weekend.
Pro Highlights
Roaring crowds filled the legendary Combi Pool arena as the 2017 Vans Pool Party capped off another dramatic skateboarding showdown. In the pros division, 2017 champion Tom Schaar’s domination of the Combi Pool shows no signs of slowing down, as he flowed through the course with undeniable precision to earn his second Vans Pool Party championship. Fellow ripper Cory Juneau wasn’t far behind, executing his smooth lines throughout the bowl to place 2nd, while 3rd place winner and arguably one of the most exciting skaters to watch, Clay Kreiner presented a truly memorable performance, heavily amplified by his fearless attempts at landing a massive heelflip frontside air over the channel into the round bowl.
