Biography: Robert Dean Silva Burnquist (AKA Bob) is a wondrous skater, originally from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Bob grew up in Sao Palo, Brazil, and started skating when he was 11. He constantly challenges himself by skating switchstance, which he says "is like learning to skate all over again." Unfortunately, Bob seems to get injured a lot, but he gets up and keeps at it. He skated in the 1998 X-Games with a fractured wrist, not getting a cast on until after the prelims were over. Thrasher magazine named him the 1997 Skater of the Year, the same year he won the overall Triple Crown vert award. He was one of Rolling Stone magazine's athletes of the year for 1999. Bob also surfs and snowboards, and he loves soccer.

Quote: "The progression of skateboarding seems to be getting more technical with a flip into a slide then a flip back out as well as going down bigger rails and down more stairs. I like to do all that stuff, especially when it feels good. I don't stick myself into one type of style, I would get bored with that."

Bio: Lopes is all over the place. He’s hard to keep up with these days. He’s definitely the most illusive team rider. He’s obviously been logging non-stop hours of filming, Like everyone else on the ZERO ARMY. He has also been frequently stopping in at Black Box to cause what ever trouble he can. His new C1rca shoe is one of the best skate shoes ever. You should ask your shop to order a thousand pairs just to make sure you get a pair before they are sold out. If you live in the San Diego area be on the look out for this guy on the freeway. He’ll definitely run you off the road.

Tony Hawk
Birthday
1968
City
Carlsbad
State
CA


At nine years old Tony Hawk stepped on his first skateboard, two years later he was sponsored and two years after that he turned professional. By age 16 he was the best in the world and he held that title until the National Skateboard Association (the only unified skateboarding ranking system) went belly up in the mid-90s. No skateboarder has won one-third the amount of pro contests he has and he continued winning contests until he retired from competition in 1999, at age 31. Much more than merely a dominant contest skater, Hawk is the most visible link between the fickle extreme-sports world and a mainstream audience. It's a delicate juggling act that both skaters and executives appreciate. "We needed someone to latch onto, an ambassador," X Games Marketing Director, Chris Stiepock, told The LA Times in June 1999. "We needed to create heroes, just like the other sports. The NBA needs to promote Tim Duncan to sell the NBA finals. We needed Tony." Jamie Thomas, one of the most popular street skaters in the world said, "Tony is responsible for a part of everybody's shoe sales, board sales-any sale in skateboarding."He was born in San Diego in 1968, to Frank and Nancy Hawk and has never strayed far from home. Today he lives in Carlsbad with his wife and two sons and surfs, snowboards, edits video, and tinkers around on his Macintosh ("What can I say?" he admits, "I'm a computer geek.").Hawk's popularity is exceeding expectations. His video game, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, is one of the most popular video games ever, selling over 2,000,000 copies. His biography, Hawk Occupation: Skateboarder, published by Regan Books, sold out of its first imprint during pre-booking. His company, Birdhouse Projects, annual sales are projected to exceed $18 million this year. In a recent national Q-Score poll he was ranked sixth most popular athlete in the world with the boys' aged 8-14 demographic. According to scholastic books, which services public schools and has a circulation of XX, he was one of the most requested article subjects. The "Got Milk?" campaign researched extreme sports and discovered that Hawk was by far the most popular peripheral athlete in the world. [Get quote from SWING mag] In skateboarding his popularity hasn't waned either. He was voted Transworld Skateboarding's Reader's Poll Vert Skater of the Year in its most recent vote. Transworld is the most popular skateboarding magazine in the world. The End, a video produced by Hawk's company, Birdhouse Projects, is the best selling skateboard video of all time.COMPETITIONSince turning professional in 1983, Tony has placed first or second in almost every major skateboard contest he's entered. He's traveled the world and won every series of contests, including the National Skateboard Association series, ESPN's Extreme Games, Munster contest in Germany, and the Vans Triple Crown Hard Rock World Championships. "From the time he was 16 and declared the National Skateboard Association's first world champion until the NSA folded 12 years later, he never lost his title as the world's best vertical skateboarder." Gravity magazine recently wrote. At the 1999 X-Games in San Francisco Hawk made history (and every major national newspaper) when he landed the "900," a two-and-a-half mid-air flip. It's a trick that has eluded skateboarders for over a decade and caused a variety of injuries including broken ribs and compressed vertebras. He is the only skater to ever land it.OCCUPATION
