BOB BURNQUIST 16 PAGE!! INTERVIEW IN MARCH THRASHER


Thrasher-"Did Sturt really make it"
Bob-"Sturt made it. The thing about Sturt is he was at my house at like 8:00, 9:00am, and I'd wake up to hearing someone down there-the loop's right by my bedroom so I can totally hear whats going on. So I go down there and it's just Sturt with a mattress or whatever, one of those mats that you do little back flips into, and I was like, "Yeah, I'm just testing it out" I was at surgery the day he did it so can't say for sure, but I'm pretty positive he's done it. From what I saw of his approach, he was training for it.
Thrasher-"Can you nollie nosegrind it?"(rainbow rail)
Bob-"You could, but your nollie is more like a hover nollie. But you can, and the thing about the rainbow rail is that you have to slow down into it, cause if you just go regular speed on the roll in, you'll just hover right above it. You'll just miss the trajectory, basically....You've got to make yourself slow down, 'cause if you make yourself slow down you know you've got to get on it and slide all the way across. I've done some bails where you get to it and you miss your board, and i was running across the rail just hoping to get to the other side and slam. It can be fun, but its's a weird situation."
