The most anticipated hill bomb of the year was resurrected over the weekend in Los Angeles, California where hundreds of skate rats donned costumes and padded the sidelines to contain the mayhem. Six years running strong, the Halloween Hellbomb has morphed from a grassroots-level gathering of hill bombers to a cornerstone event that’s looked forward to each year. Making their appearance most notable were Dern brothers Kanaan and Dalton, Dylan Witkin, Taylor Kirby, Josh Douglas, and ruler of the underground Greyson Fletcher. Cheers to Hellbomb committee members Austin Leleu, Bobby Bils, Kyle Walsh, Cory Keen, and everyone else involved for pulling another hell-raising event.
