And me here in 2024 still having goosebumps watching Bob doing his "Bob things". Our Brazilian legendary guy! 🇧🇷

This was not only the best run of all-time but it happened when all these legendary skaters like Burnquist, Lasek, MacDonald were in their primes. It was the real golden era of skateboard vert.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING BOB?!?!" Gets me every time. Chills. History right there folks.

The “Oh, no, What? What? What Are You Doing, Bob?”
And of course, the great

This is extraordinary. Even Bucky Lasek's disappointment was overshadowed by his excitement of what just happened.

Yo...we talk about how this is one of the greatest runs ever, but this is also one of the greatest calls in live sports broadcasting history. A living legend, Tony Hawk starts it with "He's gonna do that Bob thing" and midway though someone on the broadcast screams "What are you doing Bob?!" This is up there w/ "Do you believe in miracles...Yes!" and "The band is on the field!"

[WhyiTzDaedae]

Realize that this was when these tricks weren't even created. Did you not hear the commentator? "How many tricks did we just see that we haven't seen before." That's why it was a huge deal.

That blunt kickflip at the end gets me every time.

[RzK]

Bob Burquist is my all time favorite. This is still, to this day, the greatest thing I have ever seen on a skateboard. I mean, the level of difficulty in this run is almost unfathomable. Like, unless you know skating you can't even begin to understand how hard and technical this run is. Watching Bob skate is art.

[DBDax]

I've been watch x games since 1998. this is truly the greatest moment in XGames history. early 2000s was the prime of skateboard vert

[ChocManus]

Bob has most likely watched this exact video. Seeing all these comments.
Bob if you are reading. . . .I wonder if you truly realize how much of a positive impact you had on us.

[thps]

this is peak human performance. i got actual goosebumps watching this

[DomePieceRecka]

These guys were all friends man no jealousy no anger Bob cheering for Bucky before his run bucky literally jumping up and down on the side of the ramp losing his mind at bobs run. It was good times man skateboarding is a bond.

[cheetosure]

1:35 that scream when he does the switch back lip kills me everytime 😂 I would have been the same. Bob is a legend.

[dondiwhite]

The switch backlip revert at the end is skateboard mastery at it's finest. So smooth but still has that slight body torque from being switch.

[saintconnnor]

best x-games moment in any event ever, i still remember this like its yesterday.
