X Games Foz do Iguaçu 2013 Skateboard Big Air: X GAMES THROWBACK | World of X Games

Flashback to April 18, 2013. X Games has gone global and after winter stops in Aspen and Tignes, we dipped down to Brazil for X Games Foz do Iguaçu 2013. On day one, young guns and seasoned veterans produced a Skateboard Big Air show for the ages in Brazil. And in the end, Brazil's own Bob Burnquist draped yet another Big Air gold medal around his neck for the discipline's first three-peat.
"We've had these MegaRamp events here, and I've gotten wins here, but, this was unique," Burnquist said. "I'm really stoked. And to do it here at home, as the first main X Games … I can't ask for anything better." An on-point Elliot Sloan claimed silver. Australia's 38-year-old Jake Brown took home the bronze medal, along the way penning a new page in the history books with skateboarding's first 720 ollie.
If you were there, this was one Big Air comp to remember, and in case you missed it, enjoy this trip down memory lane!

@X Games, THANK YOU FOR UPLOADING THIS(SAME WITH BMX BIG AIR)! PLEASE DON'T DELETE THIS FROM KZbin!

[@XGames]

It's here to stay.

[@multijamesbondfan]

@@XGames THANK YOU! :)

[@multijamesbondfan]

@X Games, I just read the description (correct me if I'm wrong.) And I'm certain that this was the Disciplines Second 3-Peat since Danny Way got the first 3-Peat in Skateboard Big Air in 2006, since he got gold in 2004, 2005, and then 2006. If you meant Bob Burnquist got (his) first 3- Peat then that is correct. He did get the first Ever 4-Peat at X Games Barcelona in Spain 2013 , and the first 5-Peat in Skateboard Big Air at X Games Munich in Germany 2013 I remember.

After that 2007 fall, he got up and walked away. Jake brown is someone I root for pretty hard and it's AMAZING how he's still going strong in 2021. Power to Jake brown!

They really overworked on this one they don't usually do it like this. I'm surprised even held out that long. I think anyone would underestimate the amount of skill and effort they put into this, especially as early in the game as it was. Some of these tricks haven't even been done yet and record still haven't been set yet.

This video when i still junior high school

[@zacharyelder349]

Well it's been 8 years since X games were in Brazil and also in South America.

[@bluntosophy]

Ollie 720.. just imagine

[@markburns2545]

Always seams to be a shite landing on the quarter ramp....rarely ever gets ✔️ done......

[@PolarisCastillo]

That replay shot looks gorgeous on everyone with the beautiful sun set colors in the background

[@DiegoTorres-gl2ld]

De los mejores x games por el paisaje y vaya que es difícil sacar un truco a esa velocidad

[@justinmusicandskateboardin9282]

Am I the only one that thinks skating a gap like this is deceptively easy.... like it looks way gnarlier than it actually is. You're basically given the most amount of airtime possible to do whatever maneuver you want and then are given the best possible highly calibrated angled landing platform to land on. I'm not saying its incredibly easy, but I feel like I could step to that with my zero experience skating mega ramps or huge vert ramps and figure out how to land stuff in just a few tries...

[@justinmusicandskateboardin9282]

hardest part seems like just comitting to drop in. I like to think I would do it but I might puss out on that part lol

[@goaster187]

Been watching skateboarding since the 90s. I started with Koston and Muska and Mullens, top dogs man.

[@SuperDriven1]

One of the worst ones I've seen. Hardly nobody landed anything.
