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

[ltm]

Those shoes exploding away still gives me chills

[alexanderbertallo]

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!! 😭

[TheHuskyK]

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

[SteezLouise]

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

[MrEDMeaner]

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.

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

[mattbarnett]

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

[VixDiesel]

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

[Reinart]

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.

[notch]

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

[unknown_individual]

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.

[Commenter]

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."

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%

[SkunkPunk]

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

[PermissionToMeow]

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

[snowmonarch]

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

[zRockin]

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