Vans threw a farewell jam on their Combi Bowl…
The Vans park out in California is shutting down their Combi bowl. They threw one last hurrah with a ton of heavy hitters to give it the send off it deserves. Here’s a look at what went down! You already know this one is too good to pass up!
“On Thursday, February 27th, Steve Van Doren assembled a BMX session for an opportunity to get last wheels on the Iconic Vans Combi bowl. The Vans bowl is a replica of the original Combi in Upland, CA.
Vans flew over Cauan Madona from Brazil, Scotty Cranmer and Matty drove from Arizona for the session. DMC flew in, we had Fast and Loose royalty there in Kris Fox, Matt Cordova, Corey Walsh and Jason Watts. Larry brought his usual powerful riding, Perris, Angie and Dany Moran also joined the session. Orange local, Dakota Roche was there. Gary and Dennis Enarson came up from San Diego. Dennis was injured at the time and hung out, but Gary rode hard as always.
SVD’S crew put on a BBQ, and it was great to have many friends and family in attendance like Robbie Morales, Nate Hanson, John Povah, and Chase and Reid Casey. The session started around noon and wrapped up by 5pm, there were people dropping in all afternoon and there was never not somebody in the bowl. It was cool to see Scotty want to roll around it and was cheered on by everybody there for his efforts.
All in all it was a high-spirited afternoon, and while we didn’t get to ride the Combi much in the past, we farewelled it with a heavy session that will be remembered forever.
