Philadelphia X Games Vert Finals 2001 Bob Burnquist Bucky Lasek Andy Mcdonald Rune Glifberg and more
X Games 2001 vert finals was an amazing experience to witness! By 2001 I wasn't filming skateboarding anymore, I had a fence installation business with my friend Chad who makes an appearance at the end of this episode. Chad and I didn't have a ticket, but I had a friend Alex who worked for Comcast at the time who was inside the event. Well Al said if we could get to a certain door he would open it and get us in. So we found a construction trailer that was up against the barbed wire fence surrounding the arena, climbed the fence, jumped down to the stairs of the construction trailer and got to the door where AL let us in. We had no lanyards or press passes but I guess because I had my camera and looked the part no one stopped or questioned us. I couldn't believe it. We found ourselves on the ramp level of this huge contest and I got to filming. Now I've filmed professional skateboarding for years at this point, but the level of technical tricks and the consistency of execution these guys where throwing down was unreal. Nobody has ever seen any of this footage and I'm really proud of it. Watching this episode brought me so much joy. It was a magical day where everything came together to even be there. Also if you don't know my friend Neil Herrick @noodle does all these episodes for me and he was in the stands that day. Now 20 years later he's bringing it into the light for me. I am so grateful for his help and friendship. Hope you all enjoy this episode as much as I do. Thanks to Alex and Chad for being the "we got you" friends. You'll see them at the end standing behind Hawk. I gotta say, today was a good day. Enjoy.

The Godfather of Switchmode: Bob Burnquist!!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for posting this. I have never see this 2001 contest from this angle and haven't seen some of these runs in full since the original broadcast. Like Bucky's for example, I forgot he threw a backflip before that switch McTwist attempt. Golden era of vert.
essa volta do bob é linda demais!
Bob é o maior
Wow! Tas Pappas! What an AMAZING run! Tas got a bronze medal for his run.
This is my favorite video ever
rock the casbah foi a cereja do bolo!
I've watched this Burnquist run about once a year since the day it aired in 99, and it's awesome to see it from a different view

@@TheBankofJosh I have no idea why I said 1999 since it's clear from the title and description that this was in 2001 🤣 And thanks for commenting as it was a great reminder to watch it yet again!

If you ask Bucky, even he doesn't believe what you said.
