 Bob Burnquist 900 degree Mega
Ramp trick... Possibly the best trick to date on a skateboard... X
Games legend, predicted before the recent X Games that the next great
skateboarding trick on the dangerous Mega Ramp would be a 900-degree
rotation above its massive wall. After two dogged hours of trying some
more on the Mega Ramp at his home in Vista Calif., Burnquist made good
on his prediction by completing. Burnquist not only became the first
person to nail a 900 on the Mega Ramp, which features a steep roll-in
and jump leading to the 25-foot wall, he did it "fakie to fakie,"
meaning that he skated up the wall backward -- ultimately lifting 40
feet above ground as he spun the 900 -- and landed backward
too.
