Halloween Hellbomb 2024 Photos

There is no Halloween without the Hellbomb. Good thing it returned once again with some of skateboarding's most fearless heroes. After moving from the City of Long Beach, the Hellbomb found a new home in Los Angeles, outside of Dodgers Stadium. With support from Monster Energy, Dickies Skateboarding, Vans and Keen Ramps, we had all the pieces for an unforgettable ride. Oh, and did we mention the Joker is back for more? —Alex Papke

84 Halloween Hellbomb 2024 Schreiner 112 2000We still had time to extend the gap so far that it didn’t look possible. Until Kanaan stepped up with the craziest gap 50 a contest has seen in years

85 WEB HELLBOMB24 PAPKE18 2000The arsonists made it fucked-up hard for anyone to step to this thing in the dark. We might've lost a few eyebrows, too

86 Halloween Hellbomb 2024 Schreiner 114 2000And finally, Greyson gapped over the whole thing in the pitch black. That's probably a good place to end things

87 Halloween Hellbomb 2024 Schreiner 115 2000Do we have big check?! I think it goes without saying

88 Halloween Hellbomb 2024 Schreiner 118 2000A worthy leaderboard. Congrats, boys!

89 Halloween Hellbomb 2024 Schreiner 121 2000But first place has gotta go to the Joker. A well-deserved W accompanied by a satanic sum of cash and a custom board for the trophy
