Hawk has had many ups and downs in life, as have some other pro skateboarders. Bob Burnquist is from Brazil, and started when he was 11. He is known for his smooth switch stance and his strong, yet strange insistence that he does not wear any band-aids for any type of cut, big or small. A switch stance is the reverse of the stance you started in. When you switch your stance, it can be very challenging, and most skateboarders do not get it very easily. In 2003, Burnquist was the first person to do a loop on a natural full pipe. Burnquist still visits Brazil 4-5 times each year to teach kids what he knows.
