Lien air in the squareĪ helping hand from Bucky Lasek to get out of the bowl Tony is no stranger to the Combi, huge stalefishĬhristian was all over the place: introducing the bands, socializing and occasionally having to vouch for people who forgot to RSVP but still showed up to party, but all of that didn’t stop him from skating throughout the night as well. Look who just arrived: Tony Hawk and Cathy

Recent Hawaiian transplant Shota Kubo was testing the waters with a shallow-end Smith through the corner Joe HammekeĮric Dressen was there early and slashing through nose-grab grinds in the round And not surprisingly, everybody still has fun when Hosoi's around. When the invite came through for Christian's 50th birthday party at the Combi Bowl, you know we were damn sure going. In his youth he was no stranger to the party lifestyle, and when he was around, people were most definitely having fun. Tony had the technical wizardry and Christian had the high airs and the effortless style-and that style carried through to every aspect of his life.
In the '80s, when contests mattered the most, Christian and Tony Hawk would battle it out for first place while everybody else was gunning for third or beyond. His first front was in Aug of '84 and his most recent was the Independent trucks 30th anniversary issue in October of '08.
He's been on the cover of the mag a half-dozen times. His career spans almost 40 years and he's showing no signs of slowing down. Christian Hosoi is a cornerstone of skateboarding.
