Bob Burnquist’s “Dreamland” - A Backyard Progression

That bit at the end with the helicopter was amazing!!!! How was its tricks haha grind the pole and 360 over the jump. and then when he was clinging onto it while it went in the air. EPIC

Oakley, Inc. introduces a new six-part webisode series featuring skateboarding icon Bob Burnquist, 36.  The series gives viewers exclusive access to the private domain in which many of Burnquist’s contributions to skateboarding were born: his backyard in Southern California, which is better known as ‘Dreamland.’ So much of Burnquist’s character and personality are reflected in those acres of hilly terrain – from the vegetable gardens to the yurts, the helicopter pad to the Vert ramp, the MegaRamp to the never-before-seen addition: the Hip.
         
“Life is always happening over here [in Dreamland] and we’re always capturing all the different activities; it’s a part of what I do and who I am. This is a fun and productive time in my life, so I wanted to share that with my fans,” Burnquist said. “When I’m riding, I always have ideas, some of which never see the light of day, but the Hip was something I knew was possible and really wanted to make happen. The hip was a progression of a lot of things that I’ve seen and done, like the corkscrew, which I have sitting in the backyard. With so many of these ideas, though, you don’t know if they’ll actually work until you start building and can really visualize what’s possible.”

The first episode of “The Dreamland Series” is Burnquist’s first major part since 2010 and incorporates more than three years of unseen footage. The part also includes recently captured footage of Burnquist learning and mastering the massive Hip, a feature that sends Burnquist flying into the Mega’s 25-foot quarterpipe, allowing for a variety of maneuvers. Despite being among the elder statesmen of skateboarding, this edit demonstrates that Burnquist remains one of the most exciting and dynamic talents the industry has ever seen. His perpetual desire for progression has been integral to Burnquist’s long-time relationship with Oakley. The brand shares a similar mindset with the creation and production of its industry-leading eyewear, technical outerwear and apparel.
