Yeah, so I got so jazzed up about Vick and the kid who stuck the Dish Network Controller in his ass that I forgot to rep the x-games. I don't know much about skateboarding, but I do know that Bob Burnquist's run at the 2001 Summer X-Games was the defining moment of my adolescence. More formative than Jennifer Lopez's "Love Don't Cost a Thing" video and Muhammad Ali's Sportscentury combined (OK, not really on the Ali front).
You just kinda have to see it to understand the hubbub. As Mr. Chi City Mayne would say, jigga's got tricks on tricks, many of which were so unheard of they hadn't been named yet. They beauty of this run is that even a lay person can appreciate how out of this world it is. IncreĆble
