Summary:

"For stylish airs, non one came close to Christian Hosoi. At his peak in the mid-80s he was the "rock star" of skating, pulling down astronomical money. Innovating crazy vertical maneuvers like the "Christ Air," Christian knew how to stoke an audience. Then it all came crashing down when Hosoi plowed into a self-destructive binge, getting hooked on crystal meth and hitting rock bottom with a prison sentence for drug smuggling. Completely annihilated, Christian turned to the Bible for answers and found new strength, getting released from prison in 2004 and at 37 launching into skateboarding once again"--Container.
