The Vans Pool Party has been the ultimate proving ground of competitive transition skateboarding since the contest started in 2005 and has now ended its run at The Block at Orange forever.
Jeff Grosso (R.I.P.) was a voice of our culture and lived by the ethos that simply riding a skateboard will give you everything you need to enjoy the pursuit of happiness and find people who share the journey with you. It was his words that set the tone for this day and will echo in the halls of skateboard culture for all time.
In addition to seeing the incredible annual progression in pool skating, this contest has always had truly astonishing moments that reflect the spirit of committing to something that no one knew was possible. On this day in 2025, Greyson Fletcher made the commitment to kickflip off the Duncan into the transition in the round. It took him over ten tries and, with every attempt, the chants and cheers of the crowd grew louder. When Greyson landed the kickflip, it felt like the world stood still and all you could hear were the words of Grosso, “We need to remember that skateboarding is the best fucking thing on Earth.” It was everything we needed and props to Greyson for giving us that moment.
Steve and Kristy Van Doren have always believed in skateboarding and the vision to create this forum to celebrate transition skateboarding for the last 20 years means more to our culture than words can express. We are so sad to see it end, yet we are eternally grateful it happened. To every skateboarder who gave it everything the last 20 years of this contest, we send props and gratitude for showing up and throwing down.
Thank you Vans and thank you skateboarding! #GrossoForever
