The Platfrm In The Mix: The Legacy of Combi and Impact of Vans Pool Party
The Combi Pool is truly one of a kind—a legendary spot where an eclectic mix of park, pool, and vert skateboarders come together under one roof. Spanning generations, from the original Combi at Upland Skatepark to today, it’s a space that has witnessed the evolution of skateboarding. Icons like Christian Hosoi, Steve Caballero, Mike McGill, Steve Alba, and many more share the same terrain with the newer wave of skaters, including Arisa Trew, Tom Schaar, Greyson Fletcher, Lilly Erickson, Moto Shibata, and other rising rippers. As the late Jeff Grosso, who embodied the true spirit of Combi, once said, “I am so grateful to be a part of a group of fucking individuals that helped to shape and form it. If you ride a skateboard, I just want everyone to remember how awesome it was and how awesome it is.” The Vans Pool Party was always more than just a contest—it was a gathering everyone anticipated. Now, as we close the chapter on this legendary era, it’s a bittersweet moment for skateboarding. To honor its legacy, check out Platfrm’s latest In The Mix video, where skaters share their closing remarks on what Combi and the Vans Pool Party meant to them.
