X Games Foz do Iguaçu 2013 Skateboard Big Air: X GAMES THROWBACK | World of X Games

Flashback to April 18, 2013. X Games has gone global and after winter stops in Aspen and Tignes, we dipped down to Brazil for X Games Foz do Iguaçu 2013. On day one, young guns and seasoned veterans produced a Skateboard Big Air show for the ages in Brazil. And in the end, Brazil’s own Bob Burnquist draped yet another Big Air gold medal around his neck for the discipline’s first three-peat. “We’ve had these MegaRamp events here, and I’ve gotten wins here, but, this was unique,“ Burnquist said. “I’m really stoked. And to do it here at home, as the first main X Games … I can’t ask for anything better.“ An on-point Elliot Sloan claimed silver. Australia’s 38-year-old Jake Brown took home the bronze medal, along the way penning a new page in the history books with skateboarding’s first 720 ollie. If you were there, this was one Big Air comp to remember, and in case you missed it, enjoy this trip down memory lane! --- X Game
