Christian Hosoi, skateboarder.

when i was just a tween, along with my crush for c. thomas howell, was a big ol' crush on then skater boy, christian hosoi.

this is hosoi and mark gonzalez going at it in a very old school 80's skating competition, the music is perfect so cal punk!



this is a beautifully shot slow-mo film of hosoi at his peak, CHRIST AIR aerial trick. classic! hosoi is the one in the aqua blue neon lycra shorts y black converse.
i think skateboarding is one of the best things to watch in slow motion because when you watch in real time, everyone is skating so fast - there's not enough space and time for the eye to catch every detail. yay for whoever discovered slow motion!
