I wanted to love this book. Christian Hosoi was such a massive star to me when I was 8. The book surprised me in curious and bizarre ways. Despite his high profile, I was astounded at the voice of the book: 'i'm this, i'm that, i'm the best at this, i'm the ...'. It seemed like a treatise to his ego.Part one of this book: Hosoi smokes a lot of weed. He smokes more than everyone else. Christian Hosoi get the best chicks. He gets any chick he wants, any time he wants. He's (almost) the best skater in the world. Even Hosoi indirectly admits Hawk is winning more. Hosoi gets into meth. He is amazed that he doesn't die because he does so much meth he rarely sleeps. He rents a huge house in the hills. Did I mention he smokes a lot of weed and gets the best chicks? He also skates a lot.During part one there is a hugely inspiring passage where one of the guests staying in his house sees him, early in the morning, walking around his backyard in a towel (post shower). He grabs a board and has a massive session when he thinks no one is watching. The passage describes one of the best sessions this guy has ever seen - while Hosoi thinks no one is watching.Part two: he goes to jail. He finds God. He gets out early. He becomes a preacher.Part three: he performs exorcisms...Skateboarding was everything to me as a kid. I'm unsure I can say I'm glad I read this book but it was surprising.
Just an incredibly compelling read. I'm a 64-yr-old white woman who was skateboarding for fun in Studio City, Calif in 1965 2 years before this kid was born. Now I'm semi-retired and living in Houma, La where we have been trying to get a skatepark for the kids here for 9 years. We finally succeeded. Construction has just begun. Christian's story is so relevant today not only for the continued interest in skateboarding but because of the drugs which have damaged more lives than Hurricane Katrina ever did. I've seen his drug abuse story repeatedly in my community and the heartbreak it has caused so many families. I was amazed at the details of his descent into harder and harder drugs. His memories are so vivid and his "reasoning" so intriguing it made me understand addiction like I never could before. It should be required reading in every high school.I'm glad I read the book with all it's great detail before I saw the award-winning documentary, RISING SON. Having all that background was an advantage while watching the DVD.
Hosoi's life and career have a lot of elements we've seen in art / sports / and literature.His battles with Tony Hawk are the great the kind of manifestation of head vs heart, preparation vs improvisation, and brains vs balls, kind of like the great battles between Nicki Lauda and James Hunt in "Rush".Then we have the kind of "Behind the Music" story where Boy has Talent, Boy has No control or oversight, and Boy crashes and burns. As the book reminds us, 70's and 80's skaters were statistically overrepresented in this bucket, with too many of them winding up dead before their times, in prison, or living under a bridge. Thankfully for Christian, when he was at his lowest point he took up an offer he couldn't refuse and wound up with more than he ever lost.The book is a good narrative. I agree with a couple of the other readers about some of the transitions being a little choppy, especially when they bring in commentary from other skaters and peers. The dates seem to jump around a bit, but I just figure that's what you get when your narrator's been a stoner for more of his life than when he was sober. All in all, these two nits don't detract from an awesome story.The only bad part is that most of the guys that would benefit the most from it won't be open minded to read it.
I thought this was a good book, not great, as Hosoi seemed to be coming off as a bit of a bragger, but what ruined it for me was the way it changed at the end. I don't want to give away the details and ruin it for someone looking to read it, but I was more interested in the skateing and lifestyle aspect of Hosoi, not his changes during/after prison. It came across a bit preachy to me.
Purchased for my husband who used to love skateboarding (almost went pro) but got caught up on Meth and started committing crimes. He had to put it down a couple of times because the feelings Christian wrote about the drug abuse connected my hubby to realize he was doing the same in his own use of drugs and he has now looked towards faith himself to become a better healthier man and to overcome his addiction.
I could not out this book down! I have loaned this book out and it I wouldn't have done that right away I would have read it again. It was such a neat book showing God's love and grace extends To all of us. Now I keep looking for another book this good. Best autobiography I have ever read. And I love autobiographies.
Being an old school skater from the 80's and 90's I found this book to be a GREAT read. I have always loved Hosoi for his innovations and radical skating skills and was devistated when I learned what had happend to him when he got busted for meth. I can really relate to him and his discovery of faith. This book has been a great revalation for me and I could not put it down once I started to read it from cover to cover in about a day. Captavating story a MUST read!!!!
So I'm blown away watching this guy fly in and out of the key hole at the Del Mar Skate Ranch around 86 or so? and asking my buddy "who is this guy" he says', that's Hosoi! crazy unh! I'm kind of glad I knew what the outcome of this book would be before I started to read it just for the simple fact I don't like the all to famillar "tragic ending" when drug addiction is mentioned and not really wanting to relive my own 15 year meth addiction. But Hosoi shares his story of "rock star type excess" and being on top of his game for a few years and then to a high speed downward dive of meth addiction and prison life to being reborn again to a place in life he truly belongs. Great read, great story and helping to change lives for the better along the way thru Jesus Christ! Awesome!! 4.5 stars!!
