Bob Burnquist: BEING | X Games Minneapolis 2018 

legend has it that he landed in blunt and then kickflip in.

In which case watch the full video! Dreamland I think it’s called

Well, he put a mega ramp at the Grand Canyon and went for it with a base jump parachute... Pretty badass too.

That was Danny Way in his helicopter. In the video section he grinds the mega ramp handrail and then does a 720 down it. In his F'n helicopter.

Watching it again it is actually a fakie nosegrind to fakie flip out, Bob's the man!!!

Can't really be that great if you did not know or remember what trick he was doing.....

Stuart Peterson No he's talking about the other x games one where he does a blunt to flip out. and the other trick you're referring to he does a fakie 5-0 flip out

Fakie crook fakie flip out

Both you guys are talking about 2 different tricks. One of you is talking about the extension bar and the other is talking about the run that beat Bucky in X Games.

Tas Pappas is in my top 3

That whole crew of the original x-games guys, Bob, Bucky, Tony, Andy, Danny..they were they best.

i agree LOL =)

I'd watch.

El Profe Gustavo Hawk, Bob, Lasek

And Danny Way

Agrred!

Fred Rodrigues It looked to me like he didn’t tell anyone that he was retiring until that moment. I guarantee X Games would have capitalized on his retirement had they known about it to boost their viewers.

Zacpack91 true. But they could have done a little more. He was the last OG of their event. The last one that has competed in every X Games since the very first one in 1995. And he's the all time leading Gold medalist now, beating the late Dave Mirra, another OG, in that respect. He deserved the absolute most they could do, even with their time being little 💯

Light Yagami but that’s why bob chose that moment, nothing the company could have done to make more money and viewers from it, the dudes one of the biggest legends and has his head in the right place

blunt to kickflip.....

Same here. I don't skate. I did try it for a while when I was a child. Never even learned kickflip (in my defense, I got a used skateboard from a friend who was to throw it out). Spent like a week of summer vacation to do it. Learned to jump in the air, but then the deck broke and was too poor. Anyway, that's not the story. I still watch the same run as an inspiration to me. The pure motivation factor is something crazy. Especially the music and Tony in the background makes it somewhat a masterpiece.

There are tricks done in that run that I still have never seen another person do in X Games to THIS DAY LOL that run was incredible to say the least. And it's just a sample of all the mind blowing things Bob has done in his career

every single time

I don't skateboard. But even as someone wholly inexperienced in riding, the first time I saw that 2001 X Games vert run by Bob I knew I watching something special. Must have rewound 20x. I was gobsmacked by the flow, the art, the damn majesty of it. I've since watched a bunch of other amazing skating vids of greats in the sport, and they're powerful, dynamic, bold & lit. But none have moved me to the level of that one run by Bob. That's how you know Bob Burnquist is a LEGEND: even dummies outside your sport like me will watch that vid, feel the inspiration & realize they're witnessing a moment of greatness.

Yeah I live 5 - 10 minutes away from him

Almost no one here knows that he's Brazilian. Sadly soccer is almost everythig here.

Mcm ?

@Felipe da Silva Tennis- Guga

I was thinking this right now! Brazil has so much talent. Cheers from Portugal!

I've been doing the same for some of circa Chad Muska 503s lol

Templeton, Thomas , Reynolds, Rowley, Song

Burnquist and hawk are still around

And Danny Way

Burnquist, Lasek, MacDonald, and Glifberg all skated X Games in 2017. You just turned your back on Vert long before. The truth hurts, but YOU were part of the problem.

@@joesmith8222 Those guys were all about 50 years old at that point. And the only skateboarding I still watch is the vert or big air.

Yeah...I wrote that comment
