Recently uploaded & totally sick: Rising Son The Legend of Christian Hosoi

Wow! That's a fucking rad blast from the past! Hosoi went into orbit!


I had no idea the guy did time for meth transport.

Search for Animal Chin was so sick back in the day!
that dudes methods were astounding

I had a Hosoi Z-blank as my first "real" deck.

-thanks for the link

Holy shit. I had no intention of sitting here for almost 2 hours but I couldn't stop watching. Brings back some very fond memories. Born in 78' I was just a grom in the mid eighties but I was skating vert and these guys were my idols. I had every issue of Thrasher and Transworld thanks to older brothers. My bedroom walls were literally covered from floor to ceiling with single pages torn out. It was my life. Damn, I knew a lot of the history of Hasoi and but this was such an awesome documentary. Kudos to all who worked on this and bringing me back to better times.

EDIT - Obviously my avatar shows my passion since Hasoi was in the movie.

Kaston @44:10 is pretty funny. The skating and Fugazi after it lead into the best 10 minute run of this video for me.

I saw this when it was realeased , single showing , 2006 or 2007 . Christian was always my favorite skater ,style forever. Such good memories .
Saw him skate live at a contest in 85 at Second beach, right after he dialed in Mctwists , his were so big and styley . Saw him skate the Seylynn bowl the same week , ledgendary . Saw him skate again at Expo 86 . Amazing .....
So ya , I like this doc .

This was a great watch!
