Vans Pool Party 2019

The force was with everyone last Saturday, May 4th at the Vans Skate Park in Orange, CA for the 15th annual Vans Pool Party inside the legendary Combi bowl. Last year’s winner Tom Schaar was awarded a ticket straight to the Pro finals and stomped a flawless run right out of the gate securing him the top of the podium and completing a three-peat victory. In the Masters Division it was an Andy vs Rune showdown in the final heat with Andy pulling ahead with a signature technical run. Everyone’s favorite division, the Legends, did not disappoint with Steve Caballero nailing elguarials and his signature caballerials during his run but it was the speed and flow of fellow Bones Brigader Lance Mountain who took home the gold with flawless inverts and flowing through the entire Combi. To re-watch the entire live stream of the 2019 Vans Pool Party head on over to vans.com/poolparty.

The Tony Alva Story Premiere

Skateboarding was the Saturday night headliner at the Newport Beach Film Festival with the premiere of “The Tony Alva Story.” It was a full house at the Lido Theater for Rick Charnoski and Coan “Buddy” Nichols’ new in depth documentary on the Maddog himself, Tony Alva. With a star studded cast from skateboarding’s family tree to the silver screen, the documentary followed Tony’s path from Pacific Park Ocean Park punk to pioneer of skateboarding.  A Q&A followed the premiere with Grosso & Alva holding court talking about the peak age of a skateboarder, their battles with addiction and the lasting impact Tony has made on skateboard culture. We can’t wait for you to see this doc, it is truly an inspiring and educational story. Stay tuned for “The Tony Alva Story” release information coming soon.
