TOP SKATEBOARDING MOMENTS: 25 Years of X | World of X Games 

- Ryan Scheckler at 13, competing on X-Games - Me at 13 and at 30. Playing Tony Hawk's Pro Skater

Bob's vert run will go down as the best run ever. ! Hands down .

Jake Brown fell 4 and a half stories. It's amazing to me that he wasn't carried out on a stretcher.

I remember watching Jake Brown fall live. I legit thought he died. Then he got up and walked it off like it was a regular bail. The most insane X Games moment for me

Imagine having to make a run after watching a guy fall 40ft to the ground.. insane!

Those shoes exploding away still gives me chills

I always forget what good of a skater Shawn White is... Who else dominates an entire X-Sport Discipline like Snowboard Halfpipe like forever and wins X-Games Gold in a completely different sport... OUTSTANDING...

Jake Brown with the gnarliest crash I’ve ever seen to this day. I was in my living room watching this and couldn’t believe my eyes, glad he’s still with us today!! 😭

I cant believe that guy survived that fall and was able to walk. I had to google the injuries. According to his wikipedia "On 2 August 2007, during the Summer X Games 2007 Big Air section, Brown fell 45 feet (14 m) onto the bottom of the ramp below. Brown's injuries were a fractured wrist, fractured vertebrae, bruised liver, bruised lung, ruptured spleen and concussion.[6] After several minutes of unconsciousness, Brown walked off the ramp surface with assistance."

I don't think at the time it happened I had a TRUE understanding of how insane Bob's vert run was. Seeing it back....just incredible.

i don't care what anyone says, but Tony Hawk, doing a 900 in a normal vert, is on of the best things ever seen in skateboarding. And Bob's run offcourse, plus, just about any Rodney Mullen trick.

I'm here for the classic Bob Burnquest vert run.

Bob Burnquist's vert run gives me chills every time. What a run, a pure and clean flow of perfect skateboarding technique and style. Proud to be brazilian man

The slam heard round the world. I remember watching that and thinking the worst but when he got up and walked away. Unreal.

Man i miss seeing Shaun White skate

Hawk's 900 is THE xgames icon awakening, Rock On!

Love Shaun White’s vert run. His power and speed going into those tricks was insane. Those grabs and the position he grabbed the board was insane. Bob’s run was also crazy. He just kept going. Like the run felt like it was never going to stop. The zen was real.

7:51 Tony Hawk - “that’s the best run we’ve seen all day, I don’t care what the judges say. It’s the best” Can’t argue with the goat 🐐

Still can't believe the 1260 didn't take gold

"He's gonna do that bob thing" "WHAT ARE YOU DOING BOB?!?" I loved this run.

that 900 still gives me the chills watching it....i remember clearly watching his multiple attempts and then just setting my vcr to watch it in the morning, saying to myself " he won't land it", then the next morning watching him make it!!! i live in CT and i missed my train to work in NYC just watching it over and over for about 20 minutes...HISTORIC MOMENT for sure!!!....that BOB run is forever the best single run Ive seen...90% switch!!!!!

Bob’s Vert run in 2001, Nyjah’s Hardflip over the hubba in 2013, Mitchie Brusco’s 1260 in 2019, & Tony Hawk’s 900 in 1999 have got to be some of the greatest skateboarding moments in X Games history

12:58 is the single greatest cameraman positioning I’ve ever seen 😆🤣😂🤣😆 Dude was about to break his knees 🦵🦵

Bob was in flow state the whole run! Gives me chills to this day.

I remember the Bob's vert final! And still hearing the announcers lose their minds and not being able to speak was all you needed to hear! Utterly breathtaking run!

That heelflip undergrab of Shaun White is so, so gorgeous.

Bob Burnquist is my all time favorite. Watching that guys is like magic.

Bob's vert run, still unbelievable and still the best I've ever seen.

so many great moments.. i remember watching live when Jake Brown slammed and i thought i just watched someone die.. glad hes still with us after that gnarly of a slam

Doesn't matter how many times I see Jake Brown's slam, it will never fail to send a shiver right through me when he lands. How tf did he not only survive it, but get up and manage to walk?!

12:50 you can see someone absolutely freaking out on top of the ramp and I love it

Bro, the Bob Burnquist run was so legendary to me. I remember watching it live and the next day it was all my friends and I were talking about at school. That commentary was so perfect too. That moment will always stick with me, the most out of any vert skate moment I have ever seen.

13:24. Seeing this live on TV when I was 12 years old was one of the most heart-pounding moments I've ever witnessed on TV. I was petrified.

This should’ve been like at least an hour long

I remember watching Shaun Whites Vert Run live and I just had goosebumps the entire time I couldn’t believe my eyes. The standing ovation, Tony Hawk calling it the best run of the night, the pressure everything just felt so perfect

Bobs run still gives me chills every time. So smooth, so zen, so switch 🧘🏻

It's truly unbelievable how that guy was able to get up on his feet right after that crash.

So many great x games moments. Tony hawks 900 holds a special place in my heart. Just insane

Sk8 4 Ever !!!

Bob's Fakie 5-0 to kickflip from 2000 should have been on here. Very underrated moment.

Ryan is so humble! He was tempted to insult the competition but just just stayed modest. Respect ✊🏻.

I still get chills watching Bob’s vert run. Straight epic

Prod and Nyjah were definitely rivals at one point. Back to back at competitions

1) Bob going God-Mode; 2) Jake Brown proves why helmets are a good idea; 3) Everything else.

I’ve been sad as of corona virus and I cannot go on holiday to Canada this summer to skate this made me really happy to watch

I still can’t believe they let Jake walk off. I mean, it’s nice for the crowd to see, but medically a big no.

I was watching X games when he threw down that run. I still get chills when I watch it. Bob is so special. The creativity, the skill, the commitment..he embodies skateboarding.

Tony doing that 9 was a real moment in my life tbh

The moment you realize Ryan Shecjler is in his 30's... lol

Imagine if Brighton’s birthday was a day later would be insane seeing a preteen win. Shout out to Brighton

I remember watching Bob's run and literally being speechless. It will always be one of the moments I remember.

I've never skated in my life but that Bob run on vert gave me goosebumps man

Man that slight adjustment at the end of Jake Browns fall saved his life

Bob was in a state of unstoppable flow

And that just proves why Tony Hawk had a rollercoaster named after him

I remember watching Jake take that fall and being horrified. Then to watch him get up and walk away. I couldn’t believe what I saw. That dude is a MONSTER.

Tony Hawk the GOAT of Skateboarding, and even at the age of 50 still can fly.

I Swear to god i almost cried through the Whole thing

every time i see that clip of tony doing the 900 i get so emotional. his determination, the support he got from the crowd, the other skaters reaction, plus his sheer joy of it. it's perfect in every way.

I keep rewinding to watch that guy at 12:49 becoming absolutely *_DELIRIOUS_* during Bob's vert run.

Ryan was so chill. He literally said they probably want to kill me but it’s all good

I know that 900° was Monumental but Bob's finals run is Incredible

Of course the 900 as the finale! You can see how excited everyone was, hyping him up. They threw their egos and performance to the side, because they wanted to see skate history happen. When Tony finally lands it, and they rush over to him, you just know that is true sportsmanship coming from everybody. An amazing thing to see.

That run from 11:54 on is absolutely ruthless. Together with the hyped up casters, beautiful! Also, seeing that meter at 14:08 fill up on the left side is very funny in a dark way.

2008 Skateboard Big Air, Danny Way landing impossible tricks after a broken ankle and Bob Burnquist winning last minute gold in tears. 100% Had to be in the list, just saying 🤙🏽

Remember 1999, my mate told me he had something for me to watch, at the time I didn't even know much about skateboarding or even heard of the X-Games, Vert Best trick was the recording, sat there watching (VHS back in the day), feeling the vibe of wanting to see this person I've never heard of to land this trick, the energy from the people dragged me in to it more and little did I know that seeing this happen would change my life. Going from a kid, barely knowing any one, the skateboard brought me close with people, my own little family and we'd skate day in, day out, worked and campaigned to get skateparks built in my home town, gave a light on the sport within our area. Those times will not be forgotten as I've moved on, but it was all down to watching a video, of a man called Tony Hawk landing the 900, who soon became a house hold name with the launch of the THPS series that everyone I knew wanted to play. That will always be my defining moment that got me into skateboarding, seeing the energy and the friendships, then I came across Rodney Mullen vs Daewon Song and I was hooked on my love for skateboarding, lets hope the Olympics after all has gotten better gives more entertain to those seeing skateboarding for the first time, as much as that one moment gave me. Knowing what The 900 did for skateboarding, definitely puts it at the top of this list.

I remember watching almost all of these growing up. I'm almost tearing up thinking about how positive an influence skateboarding was for me, even to this day at 38 years old. I'll never forget the Burnquist run, that first 900, and unfortunate Jake Brown hitting the flat so hard he tore internal organs and both shows flew off.

Mitchie’s 1260 was SO underrated, it should’ve been viral

13:05 R.I.P Biker Sherlock

jake brown man. guy took a skyscraper fall and walked it off.... boss

Best moment is probably watching Tonys 900 live...but also in 1996 Tony jumping into the water off the ramp was a great memory from when i skated as a kid

After watching Tony’s 900 again, I must say we’ve come a loooong way. So good to watch and reminisce all the good memories in X games 🤙

I knew Bob's run would be on here, i never get tired of watchin it!

Throwing a skateboard into the crowd is so sketchy lol

oh my gosh! seeding so many of these moments and get goosebumbs all over. How i forgot all these years

Bob's so good. You can hardly tell when he's not skating switch!

Bob do Brasil. Bob from Brazil. Bob é o Rei do skate, grande campeão a run dele é lendária e será falada eternamente.

Inside my dreams I am Ryan Sheckler. 😂

The fact that he couldn't have landed ANY other way and walked away... that finally turn at the last second to save his shoulder, collarbone, pelvis fractures... insane. Prolly led to the vertebral fracture, but they are fairly robust despite what hollywood wants us to think. Medically speaking - that was an insanely well done landing.

This brought a tear to my eye. Thank you.

12:13 that’s the wildest stick in the history

Special Shoutout's to the cameraman getting his in at 12:58. Hope hes still doin' his thing.

i cried a bit while seeing Shaun Whites win and pure hapiness. Thats so beautiful ...

That Jake Brown slam is enough for me to never want to get on a ramp that big. Scary stuff man, wild that he walked away like that.

I watched the Jake Brown slam live when it happened. No joke I thought he had died.

Bob Burnquist is the best! BR💚💛

Tony Hawk's 900 will forever be the best moment of the x Games.

The craziest thing for me was always seeing shaun white be an ACTUAL beast at skateboarding. Gnarliest transition of sports

I can remember where I was standing when I watched the 9 still gives me chills papas should of got it first though

I love x-games, this video was awesome. Thanks for posting

Bob burnquist was my favorite in thps 1 and 2 his tricks were awesome 👍😎

*Jake Brown falls 40 feet onto flat ground and is unconscious* Tony: "I can't believe he just hit that 720..." 😭😭

Anybody else unimpressed by Brighton run? Not saying she's bad but she didn't do anything that stood out

Man, Jake seems to have landed that as well as possible. If he hasn't turned..... What a beast

I remember seeing Jake's fall live on tv and I honestly thought I just watched a man die. My stomach twisted so hard I had to get up and walk out of the room. So happy he survived that one.

Tony: "This is the best day of my life, I swear to God!" 30 seconds after seeing his wife and kid

Jake Brown is an animal for walking off the ramp

So glad the Bob burnquist xgames run was put in! Great list

I know nothing about skating, but it's so nice to see so much camaraderie between the riders. Graceful in defeat.

I’m learning how to skate I watch theses alot
