Skateboarding
The Combi Pool at the Vans Skatepark in Orange, California has paid homage as a replica of the original from Pipeline Skatepark for over 20 years. The legendary Vans Pool Party made its final hoorah at the Combi in 2025, bringing together generations of skateboarders that have been there since the beginning to first-time competitors.
Familiar with Combi bowl since he was a grom, Cory Juneau steps back to the hallowed coping for the first time in years alongside his peers and heroes. “Everyone is ripping a lot of old faces, old friends. Picking up where they left off. Nobody has skated it in five and it's like nostalgic.” Cory takes us through his experience from the past two months in First Person as he rekindles old and new lines, pushes through unexpected physical pain, and feeds off the raw energy that only a place like Combi can bring on finals day.
