The ninth Rumble brought a new slew of youth to blend in with their mentors. This is a backyard-style vert jam—no contest and no worries. Bands, babes (male and female) and boarding with 24 hours of BBQ, beers and Bloody Marys—what’s not to like? See if you can spot the Reuler.

Our guy Hambone hit up the Pool Party and brought back the goods! Check the photos and get the recap from one of the gnarliest events in skateboarding. Gonna miss ya, Combi!

Any good tradition should be allowed to mutate and evolve. This vert-ramp Rumble mixes the best parts of all different skate eras. There’s too many rippers to name here, but it's all one hell of a good time.

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.

Massive air and wicked lip trickery as vert skating's finest break in Grosso's new ramp!

The old guard and yüng bucks vie for sky time and have a blast on Mothra's new swingset.

Backyard ramps are the best! No pads, no rules, no kooks – all fun. The legends and the locals gather for one last blast on Brighton’s swing set. Thanks Zeuners!

Final session at Brighton’s ramp with the pros and bros gathering for a farewell schralp.
