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.

Weight: 160 lbs.
Hometown: LOS ANGELES, CA
Occupation: CO-OWNER FOUR STAR CLOTHING COMPANY
Marital Status: Single
Participant since: 1986
Competitor since: 1991Notable: Sometimes you just have a good year and 2000 was it for Koston. Consider his World Championship win at the Monster Mastership in Germany, his wins at the X Games and Gravity Games, his epic part in the award winning Es video, Menikmati, and his Skateboarder of the Year award (handed out April 2001).
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."

Name: Adrian Lopez
Rides For: Zero
Rider Since: 1996
Home Town: Poway, CA
DOB: 1980-05-18
Sponsors: Zero wheels, Circa footwear, Destructo trucks
Website: On the works
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.
