After narrowly missing out on the podium positions in the Skateboarding Vert finals, Bob Burnquist made a statement stomping a huge front side 540 lien to tail in the Skateboard Vert Best Trick Final to win Gold.  Showing the judges and fans that he is quite a capable vert skater, Bob was ecstatic with the win which now gives him 11 X Games medals. Always the class act, Bob said afterwards that “I just wanted to give the fans something good to watch.”  Bob is looking forward to his next competition where he will be trying to turn some of this X Games momentum into another win. Bob would like to thank all his sponsors: The Firm, Hurley, Oakley, Activision, Nixon, Pro-Tec Helmets, and OGIO Bags, Stoneyfield Farm, Zoobamboo Entertainment and Burnquist Organics.
