OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE - April 28, 2008 - IPATH’s Bob Burnquist won the Skate Vert event of the 2008 X Games Brazil. Skating in his new Burnquist Grasshopper shoe, Bob continued his stellar competitive performance with yet- another 1st place finish.
Coming back after an intense slam, Bob brought out a near flawless run that that combined huge airs and technical lip work with signature Bob style.
“Congratulations to Bob on another win” commented Dave Smith, IPATH’s Team Manager. “We just had an Earth Day jam at Bob’s skate compound and from the Youtube video, you can see he is skating so well right now.”
Watch for the new Burnquist Grasshopper to drop at skateshops very soon. Video footage from the Earth Day throw down at Bob Burnquist’s
