Bob magically escaped a slam that could have made a sacktap into a sackbludgeon.
That's right, Brazil went Mega at their competition Oi! MegaRampa, when Bob Burnquist, Rob Lorifice, Jake Brown, Adam Taylor and Pierre-Luc Gagnon took the Mega Ramp down to São Paulo. Despite braving pretty rough winds, they put on a good show, especially the moment when Bob Burnquist took an air gone wrong, which could have left him sacking the mega rail, and turned it into an amazing moment of board flailing excitement (around 1:33 in the video). In the end, Adam Taylor took 3rd, Jake Brown took 2nd and Bob took 1st. Watch the video below.
