burnquist_bob_hs.gif

Born: RIO DE JANEIRO BRA
Birthdate: 10/10/1976
Height: 6 ft 2 in
Weight: 165 lbs.
Hometown: RIO DE JANEIRO BRA

Marital Status: Single
Children: 1
Participant since: 1986
Competitor since: 1989

Notable:
Bob has become a jack of all trades. His skateboarding skills, intelligence and understanding of the world has given him the ability to accomplish anything including death-defying stunts like the LOOP to entrepreneurial endeavors like Burnquist Organics and Melodia. He is the leader in innovation and progression, however, he has moved away from the usual competition scene so his appearance at XG VIII is greatly anticipated.
Quote:
"Having a good time and learning new tricks is what keeps me skating. It gets harder and harder to get that certain feeling you get after doing something for the first time but that's what I like about it."
