Broken boards equals broken dreams. Chris Russell had it in the bag but one too many hang-ups enabled Tom Schaar to spin his way to the top. Meanwhile, Pedro Barros stole the show with a death defying NBD. 10 years of the Pool Party and this was the best one yet! Cheers, Vans!

Rhino comes through with some photos from the Pool Party. Check them out here.

Hewitt, TNT and the boys take a dip and shred the lip. Vans in Portland.

Berle, Omar, TNT and Pedro get tested at Seattle's epic vigilante skatepark.
