Skateboarder Bob Burnquist attempts a maneuver during free practice for the MegaRamp event at Anhembi Park in São Paulo, Brazil. The MegaRamp was developed in the USA and has twice been brought to São Paulo by Burnquist, who is also champion of the event. Measuring 27 meters high, the ramp represents an extreme form of skateboarding, tackled by very few athletes.
