Ninguém nunca fez uma nota maior....

The ending will always be the most perfect thing of the run to me. Bob finishes the greatest vert run in the history of the sport and just merely raises his board over head, slightly bows his head and just soaks everything in. Whatever Bob was feeling in that moment is probably the closest a human can get to genuine nirvana. He had a straight up religious experience for about two minutes.

It's insane that he needed a 95.5 to win. That makes this run 10x better.

One of the greatest x games runs ever.

When you had three trained high-class skaters in the commentary booth, and all they could do was geek out incoherently at that trick, it's safe to say that disbelief should be anyone's reaction to it.

Comment from another video. Bob Burnquist's 2001 "98" Gold Medalist Winning Run: - Drop In - FS Air Nose Bone - BS Kickflip Indy - McTwist - Kickflip Indy (catch) to Fakie - Switch FS Stinkbug Air - Switch BS Kickflip Indy - Switch Darkside, 180 Fingerflip to Fakie - BS Boardslide to Fakie - Fakie BS 540 Indy to Fakie - Slob Gay Twist - Indy Grab Air to Fakie - Switch FS Ollie - Switch BS Ollie - Switch BS Rock & Roll - Rewind Revert - Blunt to Fakie - Half-Cab Blunt to FS 180 out - BS Boardslide to Fakie - Fakie BS 360 Indy - Blunt Kickflip out to Fakie - Switch BS Rock & Roll - Fakie BS 5-0, boardslide tap to FS Rock & Roll out... - Roll out into the deck, holding up the board, and Bob Gnar juicing in the aura

I was there. Epic to behold in person for a skater in 2001.

@@coribald I mean we all knew we were seeing the best in the sport at that time. I was just so overwhelmed by the experience of being there. It was such a spur of the moment thing. Was still in HS and traveling to Philly (65 mi away and in another state) without parents was a cool bit of teen freedom. Got ushered into the first union center like 5 minutes after arriving (snuck in the back entrance to the south philly sports complex cause the line to get in was around the block) and before I knew it I was looking at the best skateboarders in the world. Core memory for sure. After all the events were over and the sun was going down me and my friends smoked a blunt right on the steps of the world famous spectrum at the foot of THE rocky statue. 2001 was a great time to be a skater. Great time to be alive. The summer before 9/11 was like the peak of American culture. It all went to shit after that.

I was there too, was one of the best live events I've ever been to across any category. I didn't know at the time where this run would stand in history I just knew people were going out of their minds and it looked incredible. Also saw Stephen Murray do the first double back flip in Dirt Bike Stunt as well, which stuck out as historic in that moment.

over 20 years later, still the best run ever :V

You are a saint for giving future kids a chance to see pure unadulterated shredding

This was one of the most IN THE ZONE performances in ALL OF SPORTS TO THIS VERY DAY!!!

Tony's 900 was the most famous skateboarding moment of all-time but this was the greatest skateboarding moment of all-time. Bob Burnquist and Bucky Lasek were in their primes. They would have to be on the Mt. Rushmore of skateboard vert. This is a legend beating a legend with the greatest run ever performed at X Games. As far as competition goes, it can't get any greater!

p insane looking back on it that we got to see three of the greatest vert skaters of all time either at or slightly past their prime at the same time pushing each other and competing. those x games were must watch tv regardless if you skated or not during this era

There is an art and fluid motion to the way Bob is on a skateboard that nobody else really matches. He is jazz to the technical expertise of Bucky. Bucky is great, but Bob elevates the art form in a way nobody can touch. Also about half way through I'm covered in goosebumps as Sal and Tony Hawk are losing their minds, but when he does the kick flip off the ramp and they lose it, I can't help but smile like a little kid. I've been watching since I was a kid and I'm way too old now, and I've never seen anything this good. It was genius that night and continues to be genius. GOAT for sure, but even more so when you realize that probably half of Bob's tricks are things he attempted in best trick in various years. The run insane. Thank you for posting this version so I can actually see it. Much appreciated.

You have to remember, folks, this is 2001. You don't throw complex grinds that swap your stance mid-run. You don't think twice, but four or five times before you decide to throw a flip trick to fakie as your "last trick". I think Bob knew this run, had it planned out, and finally, looking for a 95.6 or better in what was the biggest skateboarding event on Earth, decided it was his time to throw it all down.

Buckys face lol… insane 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 the blunt kick out is just beaaaauuuutiful. That poor vert ramp needed therapy after that

If you have never used the 0.25 play speed on KZread before, this is your moment. Enjoy

I remember seeing this live and the feeling when Bob got the 98 was incredible. I was just in awe.

you are a king for posting this. thank you kind sir.

The first and only X games event I ever went to and Ill never forget it, right around my 13th birthday and seeing Bob Burnquist and also Stephen Murray do the first ever double back flip in Dirt Bike Stunt were absolute highlights.

There have been a lot of great skaters, but this moment is still my favorite moment in all of the X-Games. This run... was just insane... I had to come back to this with all the awesome tricks I saw in the past week of this year's X-Games. Great times, Great memories.

Hands down the greatest run in XGames history

saw this live, absolutely mental. skaters like me in the crowd who knew what’s up were just holding our heads in disbelief…

Still gets me every time. What a masterpiece!

It's crazy to think how young I was, and how exciting this moment in time translated through my body in raw emotion and excitement. I cried in joy i was screaming at my grandparents house It was magical. Skated for days after non stop... And a month later the world changed forever. It was a whiplash that i didnt see at the time but i was today years old when i found a new level of understanding of this run. It was EVERYTHING! And it was one of the last times before pure uncertainty shot round the country that i was truly happy. Thank you for having this for my kids to watch. 10, 4 and 2. Be well everyone.

I remember being 10 years old watching this live and absolutely LOSING MY MIND. This past year's X Games was one for the books, but nothing can touch the late 90's/early 2000's era of X Games.

"What are you doing Bob??" 😂

this was the video that got me into skateboarding i cant believe it still exists.. this was also the video that got me into shooting skateboard videos and made me ultimately a photographer this video is so important to me i still remember th is word for word Buckey losing in the back was all of us in this moment.. god i love this video

I Love you! I just love you for doing this with this marvelous run!

thank you for making this nice smooth version of the best vert run in living memory ☯

If I ever want to bring myself back to childhood this is the video I watch!

Thank you brother, God bless you ever!🙏

I was there! 13 years old. Wow.

amazing that you posted this in 720p. thank you very much indeed. I wonder if we will ever have Bucky Lasek's previous lap which was the best lap of his life and was winning with 95 until Bob did what he did. I never found the video of Bucky's lap on youtube.

The best vert run of all time. Period!

I remember this night...🤯 Craziness

The judges may have gave a 98 but it's a perfect 99.9 in my book.

Maior orgulho brasileiro!

XGames from 1995-2006 were just on another level.

The way he held onto the next trick after catching that kick flip Indy upside down with the wheels facing up and just throwing the board under his feet was crazy

I busted out in laughter Holy fuckk

Esse brasileiro deveria ter muita mídia aqui no Brasil. Uma pena que não é muito conhecido pra quem nao é fã de skate.

He really was. Even before the samba flip, he knew how to just throw the board down for the make.

Why don't we consider this guy the best? Was doing street tricks on vert, and switch vert tricks that were so smooth that you couldn't tell if we switch or not. His fakie 5-0 kickflip out, first try on, an extended rail on a huge very ramp a year earlier than this is the most under rated trick i think I've seen.

GENUINE QUESTION EVERYBODY: BOB BURNQUIST V TONY HAWK - Who was technically the best skateboarder?

@KryptikM3

Жыл бұрын

Tony Hawk is absolutely the most well known but I'd daresay that Bob is technically the better. Which isn't to discount Tony, because Tony is/was amazing and accessible. He skated in a way that even people who didn't know skating knew he was good. Bob is a skater who you don't realize how good he is unless you dip your toes in. He is the Bret Hart to Tony's Hulk Hogan (with apologies to Tony Hawk for the comparison).
