We caught up with the walking legend, Bob Burnquist, at the Jackalope Block Party. Holding the record for most X Games medals won by an individual (he's won 30 medals in fact!), he's a skateboarder hall of famer, the first person ever to land the first fakie 900, and an all-around rad guy. Bob shared his gnarliest memories of skateboarding, how he gets hyped up, and how he feels about Jackalope coming to the West Coast.

See Bob and other pro-skaters at Jackalope Block Party Ventura, coming to the sunny West Coast for the first time, May 1-3, 2026.
