To see him cry and actually acknowledge the blessed life he has lead was so amazing. He humbled himself and me.
8:00 jumping onto a flying helicopter with a skateboard and then skydiving back down must be the most badass thing I've ever seen

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.
I don’t care what anyone says, that blunt to kickflip is the greatest moment in Xgames history, the whole run is completely insane. Bob burnquist is the goat

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.
Bobby B is one of my top 3 skaters of all time, no question. And I love seeing Tony Hawk talk about other skaters like he himself isn't a legend, he's such a humble guy.

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

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.
My hero. I remember wanting those white and blue eś shoes he had on during that run in Philly xgames when I was 11. Now as a man near 30 I'm going to go to eBay to try and find them. Y'all pray for me if the wife finds out how much I spent on 20 year old shoes lol

Bob... vc é um dos maiores esportistas de todos os tempos do nosso país!! Um orgulho pra nós brasileiros!! Muito obrigado por tudo q vc representa pra nós!!!
This is a great tribute to what BOB has done, but a small one. You guys at X-Games should have give him a proper retirement praise last year. All we had was that small interview at the end of the contest. He deserved better.

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 💯

você é um verdadeiro Campeão! Bob é Brasil, parabéns por todas as suas conquistas!
My favorite skateboarder of all time. Being 36 years old and seeing this reminds me that I can still bust a deck out and go for a spin. Thanks Bob!!
Brought a tear to my eye, seeing how much of his soul IS skating. This is were all art flows from. Beautiful.
Epic! As a Brazilian Pele, Airton Senna and Bob are heroes around here. Few will Reach such a level of talent, devotion, love, and compromise in Life.

This man is an inspiration to me. I don't skate, but I take his words and keep on trying to accomplish my goals in life. I consider myself blessed and I'll keep on going, gotta find my own path.
Grande Bob... aprendi a gostar do skate depois de assistir teus vídeos em 2003... Muito Obrigado por me influenciar nesse esporte, nesse hobby tão incrível Bob! Abraço - Edimilson - SP 🇧🇷
My favorite skater growing up. He's who got me into skating and I just kinda stopped after hs but seeing this and knowing he still skates motivates me to pick it back up at 26. Love this guy.
Bob is a legend and I love him...everybody loves him 😎 perseverance, determination and follow through...a true champion 👍👏
So good to see such a Legend so humble. Godbless your family Bob.
Bob is everything
Wow-what a guy and personality❤ I'm litterally crying at the end, thank you Bob for the amazing person you are-much love from Norway❤🇧🇻
This was insanely inspirational
Just a legend! Guys like him make us feeling proud to be Brazilian!
The Great Bob, The best skateboarder ever!
É incrível ver a evolução dele, era uma 'simples criança andando de skate', se tornou um dos maiores atletas do mundo!
Bob Burnquist is the definition of the words vision, creativity, innovation and fearless. Just when you think he couldn't possibly come up with something new, there he come with something crazier! Even in slow mo it's hard to comprehend the things he does. When Bob skates, it's his world and were just living in it. Legend 🇧🇷
True Legend for Brazilians kids from 80` 90`. Thank you very much BB!
Watching this a second time, still getting tears
He's a god, a legend.. Just absolutely and truly amazing. All the love to Bob
Bob é e sempre será o melhor skatista. Tenho 39 anos e acompanhei toda a sua trajetória. Ele usava e usa o switch como ninguém! Não existe skatista no Vert que use switch como ele. Não existe. 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
I always played Bob in the Tony Hawk series on my PS1. Those were the good memories
Bob is the GOAT in skateboarding. Hands down!!!!
Bob... You will always be my hero!
how can anyone dislike this....shame on you...this man is a living legend....
Bob Burnquist took his own path and became a living legend
I was always a Lasek fan; but I gotta say, that vert run in 2001 was INSANE.
A true legend!! This was so inspiring!!
Great montage. Great material. The best skater. Cheers Bob. EDIT: Whats name of last tune?
Joguei mto com o bob no tempo do jogo "tony hawk" ps1.. bons tempos :)
Thank u for everything Bob!!! You are a massive legend along with so many great skaters in the world!!! Brazil is so proud of yu and we will always remember you!!! Thanks
Man I remember watching some of those xgames vert runs. That was some intense competition back in the day. What a treat to witness a true skateboard legend 🙏👍
Bob got true bling . He is 1 of my favorite sk8ers and always use him in Pro sk8er . thanks for all the best moment's in sk8boarding history✌
Blessed to have watched you for so many years! CHEERS BOB!!!!!! much love
Great job putting this together. Def my fav. New he was something special right away. Ground breaking innovative fearless skater! Continued Blessings Bob!
I remember watching this live at the time what a gnarly moment
He sums up skateboarding in one sentence .. They said no i said Yes
Ty Bob for the moments and battles at X
The golden era of skateboarding was when vert ruled and guys like Burnquist, Hawk, Lasek, MacDonald, and Glifberg were around.

Amazing! Bob is probably my favourite vert skater EVER
The man has this incredible insight and is humble and grateful......a true hero
Happy I met him and he showed a group of kids Menikmati at Woodward before it was out to public...His E’s’ shoe was premiering at the same time and it was right after his best trick win with the fakie five-o kickflip out on the over coping bar.
Just saying, Cause most people don’t catch it, But the half loop transfer, He did that SWITCH! Bob is one of the gnarliest dudes to have ever touched a skateboard. Inspiration to many, And many more in the years to come. His name will forever be a staple in the big, Lengthy book of skateboarding!
Great Video huge skate boarding inspiration growing up
you are blessed bro with a talent that most of the world would never had.congrats on a mean az x game carier bro.
I absolutely love this man.
Bob is the reason I’m afraid of vert ramps but I’m always hooked on the television when bob enters a competition
Loved when he was in eS and loved how he always skated switch. Probably monumental in my influence as a skateboarder!!!!
Oh man! that's great and beautiful video part. Bob Monster!
Congrats to Bob on his career. I look up to the greats and he's one of the best. Thanks Bob
One of my faves growing up. I got to meet him as a kid when I went to Hawk's 1st Boom Boom Huck Jam
Beautiful video X-games.
Happy to see you guys fixed the "TONT HAWK" 😂 Another amazing "BEING" as usual, really love this Mini-Doc Series, especially with legends like Bob!

Maior respeito ao trabalho do Bob pro Skateboard, grande skatista!
Bob's switch skating was mind blowing.
At 4:17 when Bob blunts the extension I think of his THPS1 video game part! When I first started skateboarding the only vids I could watch were the videos from the game. Good times n good memories!
This was awesome
Bob is a icon living keep ripping luv and respect
2021 .lenda viva do skatebording
Grande Bob!!!! Tu és um ser ímpar. God bless you!
Bob, parabéns pelo seu trabalho ao longo dos anos, vc merece!
The legend!
God bless you Bob, you are truly a Legend!
Go Brazil!!! amazing.
Incrível , inesquecível
I remember seeing him do some crazy nollie kickflip to a one footed nose crooked grind on a huge vert rail after that I admit he is the best to ever be on a skateboard handsdown
It is your name they remember because you were the one who appeared on the tv news. That is your legacy Bob. An impact to those who don't even watch skateboarding. A legend you are
Great memories
Bob and rondney Mullen my fav sk8ters
amazing video
my idol..
Such a huge idol! Monster! The best one! 💪👊
Truly a skateboarding legend and treasure
Will never forget that switch nose grind to flip out on best trick back in like 99 or 2000 that shits so hard!
Amazing
Bob é Toni os melhores de todos os tempos
Any one know the name of the last track played? 8:31
He is the reason I started skateboarding. Respect to Tony but Bob was my household name growing up , the one I looked up to most and inspired me to push myself. Then came Mike V and Danny Way between the 3 I might not of ever tried even a fragment of what I have if not seeing those guys skate and push themselves and limits of the sport. True heros in the industry.
Bob the GOAT. 2023 and still watching vids of him. And if I'm here in 2043, I still will be. Love this man to death. He is a legend immortalized. Wish many blessings for him and his family.
We love you Bob #respect #legend
Legendary
Unbelievable talent!..
Always my favorite character to play in the thps games
