The Platfrm First Person: Cory Juneau Takes on the Final Vans Pool Party at Combi
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 it’s 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 alike. “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.

Jost Arens Video Part | CELESTE – Red Bull
Germany’s Jost Arens has become the complete street skater: the twenty-seven year-old has the full trick arsenal for any eventuality- and does so with both pop and flick to spare.
Already a pretty well-established name in his homeland, the native of rural Warendorf de-camped to the vibrant skate scene of Cologne from where his name began to ring out.
With nearly two decades of skating under his belt already, Jost has a smoothness borne from endless hours of board time.
Opening up with some new-generation ledge tech like hard-way Half-Cab Flip Nosegrinds and turning the lights out with some heavy handrail moves all handled with effortless flow, his all-new, well-rounded and expertly crafted part for us by Dennis Ludwig is testament to a talent in full bloom.
Without further ado, we present Jost Arens’ 2025 Red Bull part: ‘Celeste’!

Drips Series by Geoff McFetridge | Chocolate Skateboards
“Take yourself back to 1997. A young art student from Cal Arts is at Chocolate HQ in Torrance, California pouring chocolate sauce into a foam-core mold. Geoff McFetridge is working on his first board series for Chocolate. McTNT, as we called him, was introduced to the Art Dump by fellow Cal Arts alumni and Girl in-house artists, Bucky Fukumoto and Johannes Gamble. Johannes video taped the process and later created the animation for the intros in MOUSE. Fast forward almost 30 years. A now much respected and sought after artist, McFetridge heeds the call to pour more Chocolate Drips. Thank you, Geoff.” – Andy Jenkins
Geoff’s new Drip series is now available at skate shops worldwide and HERE.
