Last night during the X Games Barcelona Skateboard Big Air finals, Bob Burnquist beat out Mitchie Brusco and Elliot Sloan to capture the events Gold medal. That win now puts him even with Dave Mirra and Shaun White for the X Games medal-total record.
With that being said, the story of last night wasn’t Burnquist’s historic performance; but rather 16-year-old Mitchie Brusco landing the Big Air’s first ever 1080 on the MegaRamp quarter-pipe. Already winning the bronze in Skateboard Vert landing his first 900 the day prior, Brusco increased the stakes in successfully pulling off a 1080 in his first try.
Tony Hawk, 50 Cent (Yes, That 50 Cent) were all in attendance in awe screaming at the top of their lungs, actually seeing a 1080 in person during the MegaRamp. You can check after the jump to watch one of the most insane tricks ever pulled off in the history of X Games skateboarding.
