About Bob

An X Games legend, Bob has the most medals in the event's history, with 30. As of Austin 2016, he'll be the only person to compete at every X Games summer event. The 40-year-old defending Big Air champ is still going strong, contesting Vert and Big Air. He opened up his backyard playground to other skaters, but don't count on the field gaining on him in Big Air: He owns 8 gold in the discipline. Bob is building the first vert ramp ever in his hometown of Rio de Janeiro and loves to fly, including fixed wing, helicopters and now drones. His two daughters are on two continents, and he splits his time between the two. "Lots of tricks go down in my backyard that are never going to happen at X Games," says Burnquist. "That's for video progression and that's always where the real technical progression will be. Backyard skateboarding has no constraints in the creativity."
