Moments do Vans Pool Party 2016.

The competition may be fierce inside the Combi Bowl at the Vans Pool Party but that doesn’t mean there is a shortage of high fives and hugs going around on the deck. It’s rad to see skateboarders from all disciplines stoking on one another while legends and future legends give it their all inside one of the gnarliest bowls.

Surfing Magazine just posted a cool Tanner Gudauskas video, called “The DNA Of Tanner Gudauskas’ Surfing” you should go watch it right now!

“Power. That’s what it is. Directed at the lip. Above the lip. Under the lip. Everywhere. Tanner Gudauskas surfs with more power than most surfers in this generation, and it’s a breed of power that’s expressed in a variety of different ways.”

Entrevista com a lenda Tony Alva para a Juice Mag, sobre o estado atual do skate.

TONY ALVA – JUICE MAGAZINE STATE OF SKATE INTERVIEW

What’s the most fun DIY, skater-built or renegade spot that you’ve skated lately? My favorite renegade spot is the Indian School ditch in Albuquerque, New Mexico. It comes down from the heights in Los Altos and literally runs into the foothills of the city. You can haul ass in that ditch and ride for miles. I ride a 36-inch board in the ditches and I use a softer tire.

Have you ever built something to skate? I once had a really cool ramp in my backyard in San Clemente. It was really wide and had seven foot extensions that we could fly off. It was super cool to practice on. We had a bunch of surf style skate sessions on that ramp. I miss it.

Who do you like to skate with the most these days? I skate with Ozzie, Arto, Lance Mountain, Christian Hosoi, Steve Caballero, and many of the local guys here in L.A. at the skateparks. Lance is probably my favorite person to skate with because he constantly pushes and amazes me with the things that he does. He’s very all-terrain. I like seeing Arto Saari, Greyson Fletcher, Curren Caples and Anthony Van Engelen ride.

Best thing you’ve ever skated in a skatepark and what skatepark was it? Believe it or not, the best thing I ever skated in a skatepark was in Shanghai, China. It was beautiful, big, grippy and it had everything you could possibly want to skate. It had a pipe, cradle, banks and everything. I like the local Santa Monica park, The Cove, Pedlow and Culver City. The older park that I really liked was Marina del Rey. It had the Dog Bowl replica in it, but the park didn’t last for very long.

Favorite skateboarders of all time? I really like Rowan Zorilla. That kid is amazing! He’s off-the-hook good. I like Tony Trujillo and Daniel Lutheran. I like the long-haired, crazy style kids. As far as older riders, I’d have to say that Lance Mountain, Christian Hosoi and Steve Caballero are still holding it all down.
