Pipeline / Stan Hoffman Tribute

Jeanne and Stan Hoffman opened the Pipeline Skatepark in Upland, California in the late 70s, and for nearly a decade they hosted some of skateboarding’s greatest contests and skaters. The park produced some of the most notorious pool skaters ever, Steve Alba and Chris Miller among them. Pipeline was also home to the notorious Combi Pool, a vert double bowl consisting of a steep square pool connected to a round pool by a small shallow section. With the help of the Hoffmans, the infamous Combi was resurrected when Vans created a modernized replica at the new Vans Skatepark. Jean and Stan provided the blueprints to the original so that the new one could be built.

In the Badlands on Saturday May 19, the Hoffman family along with Utility Board Shop is throwing a 35th anniversary Pipeline Reunion / Badlands bash.  A day of skating at Upland skatepark followed by a commerative plaque being given to Stan Hoffman who is now 82 years old!
