80´s...good times! Times of Christian Hosoi and Natas Kaupas, my 2 favourites American skaters in that time. Too, In that time, here in Brazil we had god skaters, like Rui Muleque, beto or die (my favourite brazilian deck- by lifestyle), fernandinho batman, Cupim, Mureta, Alexandre Ribeiro, Sérgio negrão, tron and others. Too, I remember that I had a deck of rob roskop (my favourite), trucks tracker (I dreamed of having a Gullwing) and santa cruz's wheels. (U.S. products were expensive)
It's natural that the Americans elect an American, and of course, that a Brazilian say "Bob!". I remember the Rodney Mullen, in the 80s, as the king of the freestyle mode and Tony Hawk in vertical. But, to elect the best of all, I think we have to see who was the best overall (freestyle, street, vert ramp and mega). Mullen is the king on the ground and I think in vert, is Bob. Perhaps, by the history of the skateboard, Tony Hawk is the best in general?...
80's... In that time, here in Brazil, we only watching on tv, Hosoi and Hawk disputing the hegemony of the global skateboarding, and dreaming to see, in a day, a Brazilian skater in this place. The time has passed and the dream became a reality ... Bob Burnquist, Sandro Dias, among many others at the top of the world skating! What a pride! (we can not forget about the older Brazilians skaters that are part of this, too)
soccer = Pelé, basketball = Michael Jordan, tenis = Roger Federer, surfboarding = kelly Slater, skateboarding = Tony Hawk or Bob Burnquist? (For me, is Bob. And for you? Who is the king?)
for me bob is lot of better because he can make different tricks and harder, his lifestyle is like kind of adventure not only proffesional life,,,, and sorry but the king of tennis is
May be U know that here in Brazil the Hockey and baseball aren´t popular like, for example, the soccer (too, Brazil is a tropical country), but I like to watch all kind of sports. I don´t know Mario Lemieux, but Gretzky yes (A legend of this sport, like babe ruth in baseball). Here, only the japanese decendents praticte this sport and, sure, represents Brazil in the international competitions. In cuba and venezuela this sport is very popular. There in USA I like New York Yankees
its the other way around here but skating and surfing are the same around the coast and inland alittle where i live...but skating it is way different here i think
Hello. I'm from São Paulo-SP, Brazil (the South America's skateboarding capital) and in the 80's I saw the fight between Cristian Hosoi and Tony Hawk for the world hegemony. In that time, sure, we only dreamed, but today, I'm very proud to know that Bob Burnquist is the 'Pelé' (the King) of the skateboarding, like the Brazilian skateboarding is on the top of the world. (unfortuneately it still not happened with the Brazilian surfboarding). PS- Sorry 4 my bad english.
This n*gga just kilt ...thats what im talking about .....now i'd like to see him get commercial success..i dont know if Santa Cruz still got the juice for that..he may have to go to another team..at this point..
