Checkin' in with Burnquist

Bob Burnquist is one of the best skaters in the world. He has a tremendous backyard playground that can only be called a skater's paradise! In this video we find out what Bob has been up to lately and see some amazing mega ramp skating. Bob throws some amazing tricks that are incredibly difficult on regular ramps, let alone the mega. If you don't realize it, most of these tricks you are seeing are firsts for mega ramps. The mega ramp is far bigger than it looks in this video, if you have a chance to go to X Games at the end of July, make sure you get tickets to the mega ramp events. You will not believe how crazy these riders are. The top of the mega ramp is 90 feet above the ground, they are jumping a 75 foot gap, and then hitting a 24 foot high quarter pipe at the end. At the highest point, while airing above the quarter pipe, some riders are more than 50 feet high. This is a must see for anyone that even mildly likes skateboarding or BMX!
