Timeline

1976

Robert Dean Silva Burnquist (born 10 October 1976) is a Brazilian-American professional skateboarder who competed for Brazil throughout his career.

1995

He is the only person to have competed in every single X Games summer event, beginning with the inaugural competition in 1995, every year through to 2017.

Burnquist's home in Vista, California is home to his private skate park, Dreamland.

The first build in his backyard skate park was a Wooden Vert Bowl (which was later concreted).

2000

In 2000, Burnquist won the X Games' best trick contest, with his famous Fakie 5-0 with a fakie kickflip off of the grind bar.

2001

Burnquist's biggest success to date came in the vert contest at the 2001 X Games.

Prior to his final run (the last run of the event), he was sitting in second place behind two-time defending champion, Bucky Lasek.

Burnquist produced a flawless run, including multiple tricks that had never been seen before and, as a result, were unnamed.

Burnquist was rewarded with a score of 98 out of 100, the second highest score ever given in any X Games skateboarding event, behind only Bucky Lasek's score of a 98.50 the year before.

2002

This was followed by a metal full pipe, a loop with an opening gap in the roof (built for King of Skate 2002) ) and a corkscrew.

The Vert Bowl has been skated by dozens of skateboarders, including Colin McKay, Tony Hawk, Rune Glifberg, Bucky Lasek, and Lincoln Ueda, and has been featured in hundreds of magazines and videos, including Tony Hawk's Trick Tips and Thrasher Magazine.

The biggest build on the site is the Megaramp.

Burnquist's Megaramp is one of the world's few permanent Mega Ramps.

The ramp is made up of a 50–70 foot gap jump, followed straight away by a 30 foot quarterpipe.

Burnquist opens the ramp to other professionals to enable them to train for Mega ramp competitions and to help advance the progress of tricks on the Mega Ramp.

Skateboarders such as Elliot Sloan, Danny Way and Jake Brown have all made use of the ramp.

The latest major addition to the park was a hip ramp built at a 90° angle to the quarter pipe section of the Mega Ramp.

2005

Burnquist won a gold medal in the 2005 X Games Best Trick vert contest, placing fourth in the vert section, and sixth in the Big Air contest.

2006

In 2006, Burnquist completed a BASE jump after attempting a 50-50 into the Grand Canyon.

The first attempt nearly cost Burnquist his life after he missed the rail and fell out of control, before regaining himself and successfully deploying his parachute.

After some adjustments to the take-off ramp, his second attempt went flawlessly.

This stunt was shown in an episode of the television show Stunt Junkies.

2010

In 2010, he became the first skateboarder to land a "fakie 900" (900-degree reverse-natural rotation), making Burnquist the fifth person in history to successfully complete the 900 trick.

Burnquist was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil to an American father of Swedish descent and a Brazilian mother.

He began his skateboarding training in his hometown of São Paulo at 11 years old, and turned professional at 14.

He holds dual citizenship in Brazil and the United States.

Burnquist's specialties are switch stance skateboarding, and creating vert tricks.

He has a signature trick called the "Wee Willy grind".

2013

At the 2013 X Games in Barcelona, Burnquist became the first skater to ever win gold on four consecutive occasions in Skateboard Big Air (2011–2012 in Los Angeles, 2013 Foz do Iguaçu, 2013 Barcelona being his prior victories).

He also tied BMX rider Dave Mirra as the athlete with the most career X Games medals, with 24.

In the 2013 X Games in Munich, Burnquist continued to make history by winning another gold medal in Skateboard Big Air, extending his win streak in the event to five consecutive years - another new record, and making him the sole owner of the record for most career X Games medals in history, with 25.

This addition was built in 2013 as part of the filming of Burnquist's video Dreamland.

In 2013, Burnquist, alongside his sponsor Oakley, released a major video part titled Oakley's-Bob Burnquist's "Dreamland".

The video is all filmed within the Dreamland compound.

2015

At X Games Austin 2015, Burnquist won the gold medal in Skateboard Big Air, after having sustained a non-displaced fracture of his left forearm which he suffered during vert practice the same week.

On day three, Burnquist won another gold medal in Big Air Doubles, in its very first appearance in X Games.

His partner was BMX rider Morgan Wade as they scored a total of 90 points (43 from Morgan, 47 from Burnquist).

Burnquist finished off Austin 2015 with a silver in Vert best trick, bringing him to a total of 30 Summer X Games medals, including 14 gold, with both stats being records.

2017

At X Games Minneapolis 2017, Burnquist announced his retirement from the X Games, having earned at least one medal at the event every year from 1997 through 2015 (with the exception of 2004).

He holds the record for most medals won at the X Games by an individual, with a total of 30 (14 gold, 8 silver and 8 bronze), and shares the record for most gold medals at the Summer X Games, with a total of 14 (tied with Dave Mirra and Jamie Bestwick).
