Interview with . . . Christian Hosoi!

In keeping with my "charmed life" as it were, I received an email in December from my friends at Lifelounge Magazine out of Australia asking me if I could get an interview with skateboarding legend Christian Hosoi. My initial reaction was fear - that even if I could get the interview, that I couldn't write a story worthy of his mystique. After a couple of days of soul searching I decided I had to at least try and get an interview. In just a few short days I had not only set up the interview, but fate had actually brought Christian to my city of Richmond California (those of you familiar with Richmond understand just how bizarre and unlikely this is.) to skate a warehouse vert ramp! Long story short, I did Interview Christian "Christ" Hosoi and the story was published by LifeLounge Magazine (so exciting and flattering!).
Below are some shots I took of Christian in Richmond and during the interview in Huntington Beach - I actually got to session with Christian Hosoi . . . CRAZY!
