Pro Skateboarding Legend Bob Burnquist's (1st Ever) Skateboard Big Air Gold from X Games 13 Los Angeles 2007 which originally aired Live on ESPN, or ESPN 2 on Thurs. Night Aug. 2nd 2007. (Sorry if the quality is a bit off, this is the best way I knew how to record this from my phone.) This was a Re- airing from a portion of The Contest on a TV Network called Altitude Sports And Entertainment in (if I am remembering correctly) The Spring of 2009 on Direc-TV. If your wondering why it's presented in 4:3 it's because at that time X Games still was not presented in Wide-screen until 2008. I decided to upload this since I haven't been able to see any television coverage of this run on YouTube at all and thought I'd share it. This run was THE FINAL RUN OF THE COMP. AFTER JAKE BROWN'S SLAM BY THE WAY. There's a small portion of this Video that was edited for some reason, (I'm thinking 🤔 maybe it was for time) where I remember when seeing this Video on xgames.com or espn.go.com or something where once you see Bob put His head down and Selema (Sal) says: " How you could do that after what He just saw." And Hawk goes: "Wow...." it showed Bob Burnquist lift His head up in tears(I'm thinking 🤔 He was just feeling really emotional after making that run since He did so right after Jake Brown's slam where He got up and walked away. And I remember I think Chris Miller and maybe the other guys in the booth commentating saying something like probably talking about they know that something about knowing Jake Brown's okay and that taking a run (they might have said something like) " After taking a run when you see someone fall like that it takes a toll on you or it drains you." or something like that before going to the replay that's shown in this video I uploaded from the Re- airing and right after Selema (Sal) says: "That level of emotion...." He went on to say something like "I conquered you I got you. These guys are spent. training two- three days for it to come down to this" as the camera cuts away to Jake Brown in a room with some other guys I think probably looking at a TV to see what Burnquist score is so they know whether Burnquist won Gold or if Jake won with his best run He made before the run where He slammed. And I think one of the commentators (I think Selema (Sal) said something like "what it would mean for Jake Brown to get a Gold after that", or something" with the camera going back to Burnquist who may have been lying down with His hands over His eyes like you see in this video. And as the Judges were still taking there time scoring Bob Burnquist's run( I remember it seemed like a long time before we knew what Bob's score was) X Games cutting away to another replay of Bob's Frontside Rodeo 540 with Selema (Sal) Masekela saying something like: "Let's take another look at how high that was." And Tony Hawk saying something like: Here we go that's the biggest Frontside 540 ever done in the history of Skateboarding. before it cuts away back to Burnquist and we hear Selema (Sal) Masekela (what might have been q fee seconds or so after the camera went to Burnquist in this video) say: " And the score for Bob Burnquist...."
