Christian Hosoi : Meeting his 18 year old son for the first time

[@danarrington2224]

You have to love Christian. He got his life together without completely ignoring his past. That's a real man.

[@larz015]

A True Rock Star! My skating days are limited these days. BUT Hosoi has been a major influence on my life since around 89 til now. Got nothing but love for the Rising Son

[@MB-gz1ji]

Skater kid from the 80’s and 90’s...man this guy was my idol. Awesome to see what an amazing man he is.

[@DavidAPlett]

I know you are having a wonderful life again. You deserve it. You have to know how to be a friend, to have a friend. Christian Hosoi you will always be my friend. Keep up the things that make you happy. YOU ARE THE GREATEST SKATER EVER

[@ricric9521]

So good to hear Christian sound level headed. So many times ex-meth heads are permanently psychologically damaged. Former addicts also go extremely religious and that's all you hear them talk about. Good story.

[@chadlovell5982]

Correct. Meth is a hell of a drug. From what I've seen.it is really destructive.. If spirituality saved him,that's great. I kinda figure what ever works, then great..glad to see things are going well for him..hope they still are.

[@kimockman1]

nothing but class love you Christian! God bless you bro

[@kyungchi5422]

Way to go Christian! You’ll always be my man. May GOD always shine your way and mine.

[@3peckeredgoat735]

Love that he's got a relationship with God and with his son after 18 years.

[@Stoic1976]

The power of a higher power

[@pheonixrising3957]

Despite any stuff he went thru it doesnt take away who he is which will always be a pro sk8r and he's done shit on a board that sk8rs these days dont even come close to.. u rock hosoi n u always will!!

[@socalrcguy1]

what the most iconic man in the 80s

[@joninsco6948]

Thank you Lord. Good Job C Hosoi

[@fintanoclery2698]

They bonded over spandex and radness. Then proceeded to lose to Hawk because of some questionable judging. This man is an icon.

[@zookeeper2872]

was like, wow! he's a big kid! And then I realized the guy doing the interview isn't his son :-)

[@cjykqn]

Great interview, the "wrap it up" music at the end while he was talking sort of killed the mood though.

[@skahler]

I was just thinking the same thing!!! These guys don't know who they're talking to!!!!!

[@chadneuendorf9431]

Dude Christian i dont know if you read any of these comments but i dont see how you wouldn't but i just want to tell you i walked a similar path minus the fame and legendary status and writing this from work release which is a program after a long bid in prison and your story and testimony carries more than you will ever know so just want to say thank you man for moving on and still not hiding from your past !! I'm trying to do the same and god its hard to bury shame and depression but its a work in progress !! Amen brother and r.i.p grasso !!

[@claytonkirby878]

amazing story about life

[@skahler]

It'd be really cool to meet Christian Hosoi's son It's interesting how his story makes it such that his mother waited until he was 18 to introduce him - Hosoi's life has been so wild it probably was the right timing to introduce him then

[@fatram9291]

love this brother ♥

[@davedowden]

God is GOOD!!! SO Good xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[@Machihekamake]

I don’t know if I’ve been a good dad to 5 kids now 24-15 years old. Ups and downs and now they are confronting me that I talk down to them. I thought I did my best and followed my faith gut and my own fathers teachings. I feel like my wife has created these sides and her shit don’t stink psychology. But I could be wrong. Idk. I told them I’d go to therapy before they end up kicking me out or leaving. My parents brought my get me up different than their moms parents and I think there’s some bias. I want to stick to my ways so bad but feeling like therapy is my only compromise. I mean who’s the parent here me or them? Hope some dads can send some quick advice cause I’m hurting right now. Love you Hosoi!

[@saltpeter7429]

I am sorry for your struggle. That sounds rough and I pray I don't end up facing one like it, but I probably will. You are not alone. The times and the world is changing and I dont think it's for the better. A Father's Sovereign role is absolutely under attack, a cant win story often enough. Step right, you're wrong and guilty, step left, it's all your fault for not stepping right! I notice not many people got back to you on here, that's part of the silence and isolation program. Certain things are not talked about, although the repercussions are screaming in our faces everyday. God bless you, keep your head up.

[@riffraffrichard]

Hey man therapy might be good. It can help you understand things that happened to you and hurt you that you might not be aware of. It sounds like you love your kids and are willing to try something to see if it helps with the relationship and that's great. Just let them know you love them and your working on improving your life and this will be a big step. We're a ll human and make mistakes but no matter how wrong things go you can always turn around.

[@b-lionnetwork2039]

Love the show!!!

[@skahler]

Uh For anyone who really knows who Hosoi is and how unbelievably legendary he is Watching him get "played off" by this channel is insane Like holy shit, this is a huge story

[@telefunkenyou47]

I’d still rather be Christian than Tony. Nothing against Tony but as an American of Japanese decent, who’s the same age as Christian. Im still here, and I was a BMX freestyler! If I would have skated instead, I’d still be doing it. BUT Calabazas was worth it!

[@skesmond606]

cool

[@keaphillips8261]

That's so sick wtf 🤗

[@chicoyoung8854]

U are still my role model

[@Vanhook4456]

🛹 ✝️🌫 Hosoi 👑 vert ramp!!!!🤙

[@gkhanjriii91-04]

Hooked up via "My Space" through the "sons" girlfriend ....

[@260woodman]

So, apparently if you start talking about God they just cut you off? ROLL THE MUSIC...HERE COMES THE GOD STUFF! Whether they like it or not Jesus is Lord and he has a plan for everything. You can't stop Jesus!

[@jenniferduvall5897]

Amen!!!

i got no respect for someone that wears the same hats as jason parnel. red flag. shady af

[@EricCampbellUAV]

same goes for christians

[@kanescrimes4848]

4:45 what a surprise, Christen Hosoi taking credit for saving his son's life by making the "right" choices at the "right" time. Fuck I hate when ppl think having a huge ego is a positive thing.

[@sotomizer77]

"My son was saved from knowing me when I was meth addict and out of control" surely screams ego.

[@howdy3751]

35Y/OSK8ERLOVINGLIFE SK8ERVERYTHING Yeah its real egotistical to tell your adult son, who you just met, that you were a drug trafficking, drug addicted, misanthropic failure who had everything and pissed it away for nothing. Bravo on your logic, douche nugget

[@T97Frida]

He admitted all his errors and failures, speaks about what he did wrong and acknowledged it was better he wasn't around his son while his own life was out of control cause he could not be a role model for him. That's what you call a huge ego? He eventually woke up and DID the only right thing, give him some credit.
