This was the pinnacle at the time and now it’s a lot of people’s warm ups. Crazy how far we have come.

It's crazy how far this sport has come, I love it. Always will be one of the legends

Dropping in on the mega ramp switch is nuts itself!

Bob's 2001 xgames vert run is what's kept me skateboarding ❤

[ashleyjackson]

Those slow rotation tricks look amazing !

[benjaminrhule]

Bob was the biggest influence in my skating! I loved the park he had at his house mind blowing 🤯

[ValarieDavenport]

This has been and will always be my favorite skater. What a legend

[MB-jnxz]

That sound when the four wheels hit the ramp the way they should, yep.. just perfect !

[CarveyKeitel]

Switch BS 180

WITH NO FREAKING GRAB!

That was smooth as silk man. He made it look so easy. Must be awesome to be so good at something that you can do it on any scale. Regular vert, and then super quarter launched 20 ft in the air, which is more like 55ft because the quarter is 35 ft tall.... amazing

Bob sempre dando show! Estilo único, o melhor 🇧🇷

Im old enough to remember this being amazing. Wild to think there are 13yo girls who could win this competition now. Insane how the sport has progressed.

I forgot how nice the subtle perfection in Bobs skating is to watch. I always considered him the Koston of vert lol.

[meaghancote-mcauley]

Bob B's fluidity and attention to all his surroundings was out of this world, he could have done this blind folded! Then, when Bob decided to stick the landing, he slammed it down with authority.

[markrichards]

Yeah baby, Bobby Burnquist. What a trip watching that again!!

[worldpeace]

Legendary, Bob Burnquist run was awesome 👏

[marcomatern]

Don’t know what’s more nostalgic…bob…or the flip board.

I had the opportunity of meeting Bob back in the 90's at a skate demo. He chatted with us bone head skaters and was totally chill and didn't act snobby and irritated like other pro skaters.
((BAM MARGERA))

I remember Christian Hosoi doing Christ airs. I Wish this ramp was arounnd back in the day!

I met Bob at MLK skatepark in California when I was a sophomore. Never have I thought I'd meet a famous person in the wild before, especially at a little ol skatepark.
