Watch skateboarder Bob Burnquist strike Big Air gold at X Games Austin 2015

Skateboarder Bob Burnquist, nursing a broken left arm, reclaimed the top spot on the podium in X-Games Big Air after being edged out last year by young gun Tom Schaar. With the victory, Burnquist upped his record for the most career X Games medals to twenty-eight.

Burnquist trains regularly on his backyard mega-ramp, and as the adage goes: practice makes perfect. In Austin, the 38-year-old Brazilian landed a switch 540 over the 63-feet gap into an Indy 700 landing fakie on the 27-feet high quarterpipe to post the top score of 93.33.

Obrigado. Thank you. #dreamwalking #skatelife

Fifteen-year-old prodigy Tom Schaar, last year’s champion, claimed the bronze medal with a second run score of 88.00.

Super hyped to get 3rd on big air. Everyone killed it, one of the best contest I've ever witnessed. Elliot made one of the best runs ever and took 2nd. Bob threw down his gnarly switch moves and got 1st
