I was at this event. Absolutely sick stuff going on, even in practice. This was the biggest vert ramp ever built for X-Games. Afterwards it was disassembled and moved to become the new ramp at the Encinitas YMCA where all the vert pros practice. Since then ramps have gotten smaller and runs shorter. Today's pros are still good, but I don't think any of them approach the level of mastery that Tony, Bob, Bucky, and Andy had in their prime.
Wow. I didn't know they did doubles runs in the competitive scene. There's something really special about this. Hearing the reaction of the announcers just shows how new the idea of some of these doubles combos was. What a cool time to be in skateboarding.
I would argue that it's not that the commentary has gotten worse, it's just mellowed out because this kind of stuff isn't as exciting. Back in these days, it was not that uncommon to have some unbelievable tricks and things people had never seen before. But nowadays, we're really desensitized to what used to be incredible achievements. Skaters have gotten harder, faster, and higher, and it is so rare to see that unprecedented stuff. So I would say it's just mellower now that we've had like 30 years of skateboarding competitions. Trails were blazed and this stuff is still so cool, but we're long past the days of the 900 being the world's most amazing skateboarding achievement.
@@paulw858 I think they got away from the longer technical runs they used to do in these competitions for shorter, more amplified stuff and that has ruined vert as a whole. Now these guys only go for 30 seconds and get in their 900 or one huge trick and that's it. Back in the day guys like Bob Burnquist would lay out a masterpiece of a run. Maybe they should get back to making these guys stomp out a collection of hard tricks in one run to win.
Lol, boa combinação, ae se eu sou o zuis não deixo os 2 como dupla rs, sacanagem com os outros participantes. Lembro muito bem desse dia, e qnd vi aquele flip do bocky eo front said do bob cai no chão sem acreditar no que eu vi. Bob maior de todos, a lenda do skate.
No. It was was recorded with a camera, not with the camera of a cellphone. If your question is not sarcasm, the cellphones in 2003 didn't have camera, just calls, SMS, and maybe color screen. They didn't already have internet on it. These competitions were watched at TV, because things like CZcams weren't already birth. And of course, the internet was like 10000x slower, which means impossible streaming with quality, the hard disk of PCs had less space than the SD card of my 2021 smartphone, etc.
Since Obama likes to get rid of things that he thinks takes control of him... he would get rid of skateboarding and throw Bob and Bucky on prison for life. Just because he would be so jealous. Than he will say " if you like your skateboarder you can keep your skateboarder. Period." Lmao!
Why can't we have cool tv like this anymore?
Because millennials only like clickbait and fake shit.
@@Harry_Ballz What are you talking about? A lot of millennials grew up watching these guys. Quit generalizing dude
@@julsie3195 Stop bullshitting please. Millennials don't even know what a tv is.
@@Harry_Ballz I don't think you know what a millennial is. They're born from like 81-96.
because they stopped using potatoes as camcorders....
Classic video. Name a more iconic duo.

PLG did.
You just proved his argument kkk
Wow!! Had no idea this was the Encinitas vert ramp :D
Gotta admit Shaun White did come along and absolutely wipe the floor those few years though. In terms of mastery he's all too easy to forget :D
I literally won a custom fender guitar at this event that has bon on it. Play it every day.

When X games was gnarly
Bob & Bucky is such an overkill
Dude's went completely crazy. It's like Undertaker and Kane in the WWE. Absolute domination!
They had way better commentary dudes in the booth back then. They really went wild and really amped up the excitement.

I'd love to see vert doubles and vert best trick in the x games again
Switch McTwist? I once ate a McDouble using only my left hand.
One of the best CZcams comments I've ever read.
Trying eating a McDouble while doing a McTwist.

I love how Tony is a huge fan of Bucky too. Jason Ellis there too is hilarious
My.childhood right here. I have these recorded on vhs tapes.

Yes!! They made my 80-90s skater generation proud!
Two of the best vert skater's in the world
Dont think i've ever seen this before. Sooo sick!
I believe this was the biggest vert ramp ever built by Team Pain.
This is what should be in the Olympics !
This is the next level of professional Skateboarding how far it has evolved its beyond believe..
Mano isso foi irado!🤘

Back When Legends Gave Us Goosebumps And Actually Wrote History. Nowadays They Perform 1 Trick And Claim They Are The GOAT.

Does it ever occur to anyone that Bucky Lasek almost landed that Switch McTwist at the end?
Jumps the run up to a 99 most likely. Just an absurd ender.
absolute aliens
lemme just say, bob under caught that kickflip indy and half flipped it to his feet...... what the fuck
Go homeeee Go homeee
EVERYBODY ELSE GO HOME !!!
Lol, boa combinação, ae se eu sou o zuis não deixo os 2 como dupla rs, sacanagem com os outros participantes. Lembro muito bem desse dia, e qnd vi aquele flip do bocky eo front said do bob cai no chão sem acreditar no que eu vi. Bob maior de todos, a lenda do skate.
who are the commentators?
Selema Masekela and Chris Miller.
The killer B's
Why don't they do doubles anymore?????!!!!!!!!!
Because of this... This is why. This is perfection. There is no more.
The killers B's lol. They certainly weren't the B team though.
Did the boom boom huck jam ruin mainstream skating?
what was this shit filmed on, a cellphone?
DogHeadEye it was in 2003 dipshit

Since Obama likes to get rid of things that he thinks takes control of him... he would get rid of skateboarding and throw Bob and Bucky on prison for life. Just because he would be so jealous. Than he will say " if you like your skateboarder you can keep your skateboarder. Period." Lmao!
