Watching him skate was beautiful. Pure poetry in motion. Many people have done better lines with much harder tricks. But no one will ever look as good riding a skateboard as Christian Hosoi.

Nice!!! I never owned a Hammerhead. I had 3-5 Powell & Peralta Pro Models, but Hosoi Decks always got my attention. I was lucky to skate one on a 10-12’ wooden half pipe when I was 12 on Trackers w/SlimeBalls & it was a Vert Ramp Machine! You’re Smart & Lucky to have Kept Up with Yours!

Christian - I followed you in the 80's. In Puerto Rico we didn't have ramps, nothing... we just skated on the street, reading the magazines, reading of you and great legends of that time, and watching skate movies ... and I am so happy you gave your life to the Lord!!! You are still an inspiration to me...hope to see you one day, if not see you in heaven !!!God Bless !!!

Praise God! This is the verse my sister asked me to read that brought me to Christ. I was on drugs and booze nothing had gotten me sober and this verse snapped me out of it. I've got over 5 years sobriety and I'm starting up an addictions ministry at my church. This is an awesome testimony. Bless you Christian may you keep sharing your testimony and keep spreading the Gospel to a perishing world. Romans 8:31 "If God is for us, who can be against us!" Amen!

When he said the part about David charging his son with how to live a godly life, and then telling him it'll be well with him and he'll prosper in all he does (God will take care of him)... I almost cried. I had to stop at work and bend down because I was so emotional. I have not succeeded in any of my life goals the past ten years.Two months later, I'm following what Christian encouraged us to do, keep God's word and follow it. I'm having so many God moments that it's exhausting to keep up with. From searching up the Christ Air trick in Tony Hawks Pro Skater, to where I am with God right now, what a ride.

Took the bus from Culver City almost everyday to hang out in Venice. I too got busted and went to jail found a bible and gave my life to The Lord. Best thing I ever did! It's great to see Christian bold about his faith. Love desires to see men know and understand there is more to life than living for yourself. thanks for the Video!

Hello everyone. I am the creator of the videos you see on our youtube channel. This is my first time to comment. I've seen and ready almost every comment from every video I've produced. Hopefully you don't mind that I comment as well. For those who have been offended by my films with athletes, like Hosoi who are openly Christians, it is not meant to do that. That is not the purpose. The purpose is simply sharing our passion for both sports and our faith. We're not perfect, and we don't judge anyone. I get it though...if you don't believe in God or Jesus, and you're looking for a pure skate video, it would appear that we tricked you...Not my intentions at all...In fact it's the opposite...We like Skate boarding...I skate. I hoped that even someone who doesn't believe in God or hates God would watch our stories and mutually respect a non-judgmental approach to the way Christianity is being portrayed...I work very hard to not allow the athletes to get preachy or speak in 3 person so as not to assume or push our beliefs or their beliefs on anyone...It's meant to be informative...a story. A true story if you will that is real to them, believe in it or not...So if you don't want to accept the message, that is understandable. The goal would be to showcase the person of Jesus and God through the impact of a persons (humans) faith or belief in them. take it or leave...maybe some take it. Obviously some leave it.

Thank you Christian for sharing your wonderful story. I watched Rising Son and was impressed by your life and accomplishments. It's beautiful to watch someone so passionate about an activity excel in it with such success. I am also a grateful recovery meth addict. For 20 yrs I was a smoker in bondage- finally free thanks to Our Lord Jesus Christ. I went thru falling in love with meth to learning about Jesus and how he can set me free from my addiction. God bless you and your family. We have such wonderful testimonies to share with others. Such inspirational experiences. I was never into skateboarding but your story was recommended to me by a brother in recovery. God waits until we call on him (sometimes at our lowest and later in life) cuz he is a gentleman, Our Father who doesn't invade our lives. He waits patiently until we invite him in to enjoy his blessings of love, grace, mercy, etc. Our service to him is to share his message to others. "For God so loved the world, He sent His Son (Jesus Christ), that whosoever believed in Him, shall not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16

​@@nataliemontoya7854So good to hear! Our struggles in life are real, as are our depravity and will to self destruct which includes addiction. It's a product of the fall - the separation from God but in our new nature our flesh wars against the spirit and vice versa. Just know this, you are being sanctified every day and no matter what you have assurance of salvation but rely on him for strength as everything that happens is to glorify him. By no means do I mean to relax although you are free in Christ Jesus, but remember his promises and be mindful to be faithful as you've been doing. Our confidence and hope is found in Christ. Here's a passage to reflect on. Romans 8:28-39 Btw, Psalm 23 is one of my favorites when I'm feeling faithless or scared. I encourage you to share your testimony, as I think about my seemingly unbelievable story. But my only boast is in God, and my focus is on sharing the gospel with others who are lost and desperately in need of God's saving graces. - Benjamin

I took numerous pictures with a poloroid one step, (still have the pics), and one of them is of the guy playing guitar at 3:47 He was on roller skates in the pic I took of him back in 1986. Swear he looks like he's barely aged, and damn that was almost 30yrs ago.

My goodness this story rings so true in my life as well. I grew up watching Christian Hosoi, went to see him skate in '89 & '90 in Hawaii. It makes my heart so happy to hear that he committed his life to Lord Jesus as well. My life was a nightmare before God freed me from the bondage of Satan. There is so much demonic presence in this world and we don't stand a chance unless we have Christ in our lives here on Earth and more importantly, in the life after death. Turn away from sin, turn to Jesus and be spared from the second death.

This dude was a rock star at such a young age and got sucked in hard towards that lifestyle way too fast. Most would have never survived his journey, but this dude is a fighter and deserves much respect. Godspeed to Christian Hosoi--a SoCal legend!
