This is very impressive.
Thanks for posting that!
Wow - unbelievable. The stuff he's doing at around 4 mins!!!
Wonderful. Bob is a bit of a hero of mine.
Thanks again!
I do miss the X Games since I stopped having Extreme channel.
[edit]Best watched in HD, large!
Cant see the Utube link but watched dreamland last night if thats what youre on about. Ollie to fakie best thing he does but the helichopper boardslide is something I'd never thought of myself ๐ฏ
No worries Dez..
Its all fairly nuts... I personally like from 2:14 to 3:00 that front side flip over the gap-hip is mental. and the grab-less backside flip over the whole lot, and he squeezes a sweet misty in... Helicopter nose stall made me wince. He is a hero.
Video game tricks.
Scruff, I said pretty much the same on a FB post of the vid last night...big flappy ollie and a caveman later on!
Stuff of fingerboard dreams...
There's a guy who warrants having a GoPro.
Dear Lord thats impressive.. to think I was happy ollie-ing up a kerb when I was younger..
I sent this in to midweek minimovies earlier (as well as sharing it with as many people as I could think of).
I'm not a skateboarder, but even I could see the sheer skill on show.
The last bit made my hands and feet go very funny though - you'd have to trust your grip wouldn't you!?
(they've gone again just thinking about it)
The switch nosegrind over the rail/hip thing at 5mins ๐ฏ
Even though he was probably the first really ambi skater on vert, that really takes the biscuit
Thanks for that, it made the hairs on my neck stand up!!
Unbeleivable.
Just ๐ฏ
Too amazing to comprehend! ๐ฏ
A few impressive things in a 3 min edit is all well and good but 8 minutes solid of banger after banger is just nuts!
Jaw, Meet floor.
How old is Bob now?, just checked, older than me...
How old is he? Got to be getting on a bit.
Really amazing footage, thanks for posting.
It's in Midweek Extra...

[i]How old is he?[/i]
I wondered that, so just looked it up, born in '76... 37! Guy is incredible
Wow. That's all.
Pretty sure there's a switch ,backside ,heel flip ,5 (no grab!) in there ๐ฏ
Actually its just 8 minutes of bangers!!
Love this. Bob's a legend. Amazing to think what a household name/brand Tony Hawk is when he's not even close to this level.
How is that even possible. Stunning stuff
Outrageous stuff
Crikey, that's nuts.
On the, currently free to view, ESPN channel right now!
Bob vs a 13 year old kid!
Heli flying was the most impressive bit, I'd say!
Wow.
Very, very happy to pay over the odds for plastic sunnies so that Mr B. can do this for a living. Art. Boundaries.
Well done everyone involved.
Insane stuff! Sent me on a trip down memory lane, shocked to see that my old favourite rider DMC is still going age 46! ๐ฏ
Amazing to think what a household name/brand Tony Hawk is when he's not even close to this level.
That's a bit unfair, its called progression. Tony Alva, Lance Mountain, Tony Hawk my fave Kevin Staab they have all progressed the sport, no one had conceived of the mega ramp back then. Its only a really successful vid game that made Hawk a household name.
Danny Way was the first mega ramp guru with out him and the X games marketing we wouldn't have Bob blowing minds.
schrickvr6 - yes, I've been following Dennis McCoy too. Ever since that channel 4 programme (High 5) about him and Condor in the early 90s.
Edit: Good old YouTube
Tony Hawk was only ever good cuz his feet are massive ! ๐
Epic 8)
Currently have this blaring out 8)
The grinds he does are just insane, so fast...
