X Club São Paulo

Bob Burnquist is one of the most influential figures in the history of X Games, recognized for his longevity, creativity, and relentless pursuit of progression.

A Brazilian American professional who turned pro as a teenager, Burnquist built his competitive career through both high level performance and a deep commitment to learning, experimentation, and evolution, blending results with innovation and imagination at the highest level.

Alongside competition, Burnquist has played a defining role in skateboarding’s technical and creative development through landmark video parts and ongoing projects that continue to shape how the culture is practiced and perceived. His approach, from concepts like the Open Loop to switch progression and long form visual storytelling, reflects a belief that progression is not a single moment, but an ongoing process that connects performance, creativity, and personal growth.

Beyond skateboarding, Burnquist embodies a broader lifestyle rooted in movement, curiosity, and exploration. A licensed skydiver and pilot, he draws inspiration across disciplines and carries that same spirit of focus, courage, and presence into everything he does. He leads Instituto Skate Cuida, a social initiative that uses skateboarding as a tool for education, inclusion, and positive change, and has long supported sustainability and responsible growth within skateboarding communities.

As General Manager of X Games Club São Paulo, Burnquist brings a lived understanding of competition, crew culture, and shared progression. His focus is on building a team grounded in humility, creativity, and mutual support, honoring the raw roots of skateboarding while creating space for performance, evolution, and long term growth.
