And me here in 2024 still having goosebumps watching Bob doing his "Bob things". Our Brazilian legendary guy! 🇧🇷
É surreal 👏🏽👏🏽

"He's gonna do that Bob thing." -Tony Hawk
I mean he isn't wrong at all
The Bob thing = skating in reverse for most of the run
This was not only the best run of all-time but it happened when all these legendary skaters like Burnquist, Lasek, MacDonald were in their primes. It was the real golden era of skateboard vert.
Supplemental Sense Hawk
Beating Lasek was a situation that not so many can say they did, the rivalry, the tricks, the progression was insane, Bob earned this one
The real golden era and then the white plg era right behind it
I agree 100%
This was also the best commentator lineup X Games has ever had imo
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING BOB?!?!" Gets me every time. Chills. History right there folks.
And That's why Ladies and Gentlemen he got ANTIHERO TATTED ON Him
He was doing that Bob thing
One of my favorite moments in X Games history!
It's gotta be one of the best moments in xgames history for sure. The entire run brings tears to my eyes every time

List of tricks:
- OMG
- What is he doing here?!?
- OMGaaaawww
- What???
- Switch Stance
- Screams
- Respect this goat
Hahaha exactly
Well, Tony actually rattles out some of the tricks in the background, but he's probably one of like 3 people alive who actually knows all of the tricks that Bob did, and never in such fluent run (such as that Darkside). He starts to speak before they are interrupted by the score accouncement - something along the lines that you are usually glad to get some of the tricks in the "Best trick" competition.
But, well, yeah, the screaming is way more hype ^_^
Two of the greatest moves that Bob pioneered:
The “Oh, no, What? What? What Are You Doing, Bob?”
And of course, the great “OOOOOOOIIIIIEEEAAAAAAA!”
Majorly underrated comment here
jerma
Realize that this was when these tricks weren't even created. Did you not hear the commentator? "How many tricks did we just see that we haven't seen before." That's why it was a huge deal.
Not necessarily haven't been created or done, the big deal was that it hadn't been done in competition. That's why the 900 was so big. That's why when the 1080 got landed in competition it was so big. It's doable under favorable circumstances,. But to lay some of these down AND do them seamlessly is the feat here
@@mrsquickles9414 sorta but a lot of these tricks also just back to back period was straight up hammer mode. Also the 9 had never been done period at that time.
He was landing stuff that win competitions in a row while going with the flow. The guy went ultra intinct and felt like he was on another stratosphere.
koii is I
uu
That blunt kickflip at the end gets me every time.
itsnotbutter13 facts!!
When I saw that for the first time I lost it
I remember best trick he kicked flipped of the ramp beam a year earlier.
Especially since it may be a common trick now but back then it was unheard of to do it in a vert contest. and as your last trick? Crazy man. This and the 900 are still my favorite moments in skateboarding.
Unbelievable.
This is extraordinary. Even Bucky Lasek's disappointment was overshadowed by his excitement of what just happened.
That's what makes skateboarding better than team sports. In team sports you are never happy for the other guy, you're supposed to just put and be angry and "hate to lose".
@@jasondashney wow.. thats true. Now i have to think new about Teamsports :D
Also Bucky and teamed up as the killer bees for the team skate competitions only to always lose to the boom boom crew tony hawk and Andy McDonald
and the fact that Buckys run was pretty legendary as well, Bob was far behind and everybody thought it was over. He had to get atleast a 95-96 for the gold. and nobody expected it to happen. You would need a beyond perfect run.. lol
I still remember watching it live like "whaaaat the fuuuuu-?!" hahaha
@@jasondashney In pro sports this isn't really what happens XD
Yo...we talk about how this is one of the greatest runs ever, but this is also one of the greatest calls in live sports broadcasting history. A living legend, Tony Hawk starts it with "He's gonna do that Bob thing" and midway though someone on the broadcast screams "What are you doing Bob?!" This is up there w/ "Do you believe in miracles...Yes!" and "The band is on the field!"
Tony screamed "what are you doing Bob?!" Which makes that call even more legendary considering its literally *Tony Hawk* Saying that.
@@JackTheripper911 I think that is Chris Miller saying that
@@JackTheripper911 Yeah, that was Chris Miller. Sales Masekela was the other commentator.
"Switch frontside ollie.. switch backside ollie..."
Tony nearly losing his voice is one of the things that made this run amazing!!
Bob Burquist is my all time favorite. This is still, to this day, the greatest thing I have ever seen on a skateboard. I mean, the level of difficulty in this run is almost unfathomable. Like, unless you know skating you can't even begin to understand how hard and technical this run is. Watching Bob skate is art.
I know nothing of skateboarding and I was puzzled they went nuts towards the end with a kickflip, lol..
Wow crazy, Hawk is still my favorite all time, but Bob is the most amazing for me now.
this is peak human performance. i got actual goosebumps watching this

@@iiwi758 looks at you in brokeback
That’s it? Pfffft. No kick flip McTwist 1080? Fake to front side front flip Indy 720 to switch?
He skates nothing like his video game character. 😁
@@iiwi758 slot mctwist. I think it was a typo
Bob has most likely watched this exact video. Seeing all these comments.
Bob if you are reading. . . .I wonder if you truly realize how much of a positive impact you had on us.
When I first watched this, my English wasn't good enough to understand what was being said in the broadcast, so I seriously thought this was kind of a "victory run", like, he'd won the competition already and was having the last run just as a celebration.
Now that I know that all this was actually the last run of the competition and that he had to beat Lasek's excelent run, my mind is officially blown. How can you be so smooth, so perfect, having so much pressure on your shoulders?
Bob, Tony and Rodney are the holy trinity. Pure legends.
1:35 that scream when he does the switch back lip kills me everytime 😂 I would have been the same. Bob is a legend.
Goooood
I like how they can barely get out the words "half-cab" right before
It's R2D2
I guess that does count as a switch back lip since they can just pivot into it. I always viewed it as a fakie front board, but the whole run is still insane to this day.
Same here
I've been watch x games since 1998. this is truly the greatest moment in XGames history. early 2000s was the prime of skateboard vert
Kindly disagree, Tony Hawks 900 takes the cake.
I dont even know what is happening. But the reactions are enough for me to appreciate greatness
Yeah I'm not sure what exactly is impressive but I'm impressed by then being so impressed
@@SpooksMcGhie Basically about 1/3rd of the tricks that bob pulled out here were never before seen in competition, and they were threaded together so elegantly and confidently that everyone was literally speechless at the beauty and ingenuity of what they were witnessing(none of the announcers can even form a coherent sentence by the end of it). It was a moment that transcended sports into the realm of art.
Exactly! That's the same situation that I'm here. I don't understand nothing about skating, but when I first heard the commentators yelling... bro that gave me chills!
And of course because I'm brazilian e he is brazilian. That patriotic thing, u know...
Bob skates with his LEFT FOOT ahead... except in this run he's skating A LOT with his right foot ahead (he's skating backwards, switch position) and still doing some AMAZING tricks
just watched this 10x in a row...i laughed silly every time.
ridiculous run...all hail the king
Same thing here, as I'm watching for the first time now. Bob is from outta this world!!
All these ‘perfect’ street runs from ten years ago don’t look as impressive today, and are often surpassed...but this showing by Bob on vert is just iconic, and something that I can’t see ever being outdone.
This isn't ever gonna get surpassed.
These tricks were absolutely unheard of at the time to be done one after the other in a vert run? No way. There's a reason the commentators are losing their minds lol
this and Dennis Busenitz at tampa pro
This is what the XGames used to be about. You feel the emotion from the crowd so much more than you do now
Literally. People are so lame nowadays.
These guys were all friends man no jealousy no anger Bob cheering for Bucky before his run bucky literally jumping up and down on the side of the ramp losing his mind at bobs run. It was good times man skateboarding is a bond.
Bob is a legend, this run is the best ever made. Impossible to watch it only one single time. Brazil's skating is incredible
I have been skating for 23 years, mostly street, but I saw this live and remember literally jumping off the couch when he kick flipped out of blunt, I couldn't take the insanity anymore! I also meet Bob at the 2013 Dew Tour in SF. I told him kudos for all he's done and gave him a fist bump. He gave me a Dooms Day sticker that I still have on the back of my guitar 🤘 A true legend in skateboard history
best x-games moment in any event ever, i still remember this like its yesterday.
The switch backlip revert at the end is skateboard mastery at it's finest. So smooth but still has that slight body torque from being switch.
The angle of Bob's body during the trick was crazy! Just when you think it cannot get any better he comes up with something that blows your mind away!
Yea.. that was good. more than good. Amazing flow. Insanely technical run. No one can do what he did there, just beautiful to see
Myself, and two little brothers watched this live when I was I think 11 or 12 years old. Announcers rarely showed that much purr energy and hype about performances so it felt really authentic and special in the moment. That still carries through today pretty well in thr video
And this is why bob is my favorite skateboarder
literally tearing up watchung this. in. sane. best vert run ever?
Somebody tell him THPS isn't real.
he needs to take himself out of the simulation
He stepped out of thps3 for his own video game. It’s a shame it wasn’t too great, he deserved much better just for this run. Bob was going so hard that the commentators couldn’t keep up with his moves! Bob is the one and only, the switch god.
@@McGillicuddy849
Blow my wisel
announcers were the best hahah
I come back and watch this, from time-to-time, and it always amazes me. Modern vert lacks someone with this level of tech.
That blunt kickflip is just ❤️♥️
Probably watched that trick more than a hundred times in one day. It is so freaking awesome.
Pastrana double backflip
Tony’s 900
Bobs run
Best x games moments of all time
Pastrana dominating freestyle moto and his 360 were my personal fav moments
Waiit the dude that did the 1260 tho needs more cred
Danny Way finishing the competition on a broken ankle was pretty sweet.
And I know it's not x games but Kerri Strug vault in the olympics doing the same thing.
Beyond the X games alone, this is one of the best moments in sports history
Matt Hoffmans No Handed 900 out of nowhere
That last stannce shouod be skateboarding logo
I WILL NEVER FORGET THIS MOMENT.
A celebration of human excellence.
I was 7 years old and I cried watching this live on tv. One of the best sports moments of all time
I like the way he finishes, just standing there with his head bowed and his board held high. "And a legend was born"..
Bob Burnquist is my favorite ever, and I watched Lasek hit that run. He was my friend's favorite and we were watching together. He just knew it was over but no...Bob put down the greatest run ever! Burnquist forever!
1:40 "We lost our minds in the booth right now!"
1:55 "I'm seriously in shock, this whole place is in shock!"
1:59 'Holy Moly!"
Everything about this was absolutely perfect from the hyped up commentators to the crowd, to the legendary skaters, and this unfathomable vert run. Bob Burnquist secured his place in history with this competition as did Tony Hawk with the 900 in 1999.
Just watched 2019 x-games vert final. Had to come back and watch this for skating that actually inspires me
I remember seeing this when it happened. One thing this video doesn't really get across is that the trick at 1:22 is one that he'd tried on both his previous runs, and had been forced to bail both times. And on top of that, he pulled several insane tricks that had never been seen before. And this was after Bucky Lasek's incredible runs, including the 95.5 that put him solidly in the lead.
Nego fala que Bob não revolucionou no vertical, mas o cara simplesmente trouxe e estabeleceu o estilo street dentro do vertical, de uma forma única, sempre utilizando a base invertida, algo usado eficientemente somente por ele. O cara se não é o melhor de todos os tempos no skate, e no MINIMO top 3 all time, junto com Tony e Mullin, sendo esses 3, um bem próximo do outro, incrível.
O Bob é brilhante ! Concerteza top 3 all time !
Mullen > Tony > Bob. Mas o Bob está mais perto do Tony na história do skate do que qualquer um está do Mullen, que é uma lenda viva.
mullen>bob>tony
Tem gente que fala isso?
Ninguém está próximo de Rodney Mullen
Brazil is a state of mind. And this guy is a mind freak
This was just one of the best most iconic runs of all time. Cause it showed Bob as one of the only skaters in the world that if he had even just a 0.000001 percent chance of not falling, that he would not fall. And if he did fall, that there was no way to save it. Just beyond incredible.
I watched this live on tv. I remember flipping outtttt. Damnnn i love watching this so many years later. "WHATT ARE YOU DOINGGG BOBBB?!" #Epic!
probably one of the greatest runs of all time.
Jon Bois and his study of Bobs sent me back here
make that two of us
Same
I come back to this video , every 6 to 12 months have done since I watched it Live. Godly
1:29 fuck i love the guy going nuts upside the quarter lol
The announcer going nuts? That would be Tony Hawk lol
Probably one of my top 3 vids on youtube... and yea one of the greatest not only skateboarding moments but sporting moments of all time, as another comment alluded to :D
That Blunt to Kickflip moment never fails to send chills over my scalp and make me crack a smile.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING BOB? Gets me every time.
Welcome back. Time to watch again
Man this brings me back, just started my senior year of high school, the Terror had not happened yet and Bob Burnquist lit the skateboarding vert scene on fire! Man those were simpler times.
Beautiful, this is poetry, is dance, pure art.
This is Brazil, bob are a legend!!!
Been watching this every two to three days for a while now and still enjoy it every time. Pure genius.
the moment made bob burnquist my all time favorite skateboarder.
Por isso eu amo o skate.. é um esporte que seu adversário vibra com vc quando vc faz algo show de bola!! Skate é único
I return to this run every year or so, to witness mastery of being in the moment
At 1:57 that dad in the white shirt and tie looks like he got dragged there by his kids, but even he appreciated how impressive it was.
Kreegei I think he is Bob's dad
1:30 Not only the biggest "yeah I'm in the zone; fu" trick ever, but the reaction of the dude on the top of the ramp works with the commentators.
Chris, Tony, and Sal made this so epic! haha
This is the best run in skateboard sert history.
Watched this live, couldn't believe what I saw. Just so sick and insane. Greatest X moment ever.
Tony Hawk " I cant even talk" pretty much explains how insane this run was ..
I come back and watch this run every couple years. I remember watching it live, and for more than three quarters of the run, after every trick, just standing in front of my TV shouting NO WAY, NO WAY, NO WAY, and just standing with my hands in the air at the end of his run just thinking no way can anyone ever top this. Sports come a long way since then, and there's kids now that are doing stuff that wasn't even imaginable, but to me, for the time and place, this is/was the best run to ever go down.
The reaction of the other competitors really seals it. They support each other and are just blown away and celebrating the moment. Amazing.
*I remember watching this live and not even being able to process how gnarly it was because there was so much I had never seen before. Legendary*
This gives me chills EVERY SINGLE TIME I WATCH IT!..... just awesome!
"He's gonna do that Bob thing"
- Hawk, Tony .
This is my favorite piece of skateboarding history ever
Sal saying "What will happen, will happen" sets its up perfectly... even though he didn't know what was about to happen....
I just love how smoothly he ends his run. Absolutely badass on every possible level
That last hug said it all....
This is bob! He's still going. This is bob! OHHHH WHAAAT?
i still watch this video, i remember when it happened. I was in 6th grade or so. It was mond blowing!
"That was the trick.. half cab blunt" ... oh wait blunt kickflip to fakie... OH MY GahhD! I think that was "THE ONE" BOB SHREDS !
He definitly rode bis wave like many surfers wait for in their life, you can see it in bis reaction it is a very spiritual Moment
He was my favorite character in Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2
I remember watching this when I was 10 years old and focused on nothing but skateboarding.. After he blunt stalled to kick flip I ran around the house not knowing what I just watched.. I never saw anyone do that before
I'm 35 now. I remember watching this live with my friends and we lost our minds! It still brings the feels.
That blunt kickflip made him God mode.
I love how Bucky was so amazed in the beginning and then realising that his own amazing run was just beaten by this even more amazing run.
To this day... I don't think people can truly appreciate how otherworldly that run was
Absolutely amazing - Bob could of went for another minuet but he didn't need too. Wow. Could only imagine how much was going through his mind when he was there ..
WHAT WILL HAPPEN IS WHAT WILL HAPPEN !!!
This and Vince Carter’s dunks around the same time have aged like fine wines. Power and finesse like that are hard to come by!
And the crowd goes wild. Classic Bob.

Martinez Harris corrected, thanks... it's been a while for me ;)
slykrysis u are wrong. He grab the darkside of the sk8 at 0:55, so it's not a basic switch kickflip to indy.
fakie frontside rock & roll slide, lipslides are back truck over coping
The craziest thing about this run is that the blunt kickflip is actually after time. I wonder if the judges counted it.
Surely overall impression then. I still remember when they started getting more strict on time in later years, made it feel more like a commercial sport.
It was actually not after time. He started his run at 0:39 and ended it at 1:39... 1 minute total
I never get tired of watching this over and over again...
Bucky's reaction is classic
The beauty of an absolute master in the peak flow state
The sportsmanship at the end is so lovely
