Rising Son: The Legend of Skateboarder Christian Hosoi (2006) is ok as a documentary. It's not the greatest, but neither is it the worst. I watched it on cable just to see the life of one of skateboardings greats...and was shocked to see it discuss his conversion and ministry in Huntington Beach. I had no idea. It's worth a look.

I think I may have been there the day that photo was taken. I still skate every now and then. In fact, back in May I went to a huge public concrete skate park in Hammond, LA. It was like a dream come true. That deck of yours if fun to ride. I think I may have been there the day that photo was taken. I still skate every now and then.

I am also a skater from the 80s, who still skates regularly even now in my thirties, and it is great to be able to point to those guys as positive role models for the youth I minister to.

He, Brian Sumner and Jay Haizlip go around California and other places tellings skaters about the Lord. It's really an inspiring show. I think all three of these guys are pastors in Huntington Beach. And, at 41, Christian just won the X-Games Legends competition! He's awesome! Yes, I watch Christian Hosoi on a TV show called THE UPRISING.
