Christian started skating at the young age of six years old and got plenty of time to perfect his skills at a young age as his father was the manager of a skatepark and by the age of 14, Christian Hosoi turned pro.<\/p>\n<p>During the 1980s Christian Hosoi emerged as one of the top vert riders and developed a bit of a rivalry with Tony Hawk over supremacy in the skate world.?? The 1990s were not as good for Hosoi as skateboarding transformed to favoring the streets over the vert.?? A series of failed business ventures coupled with a warrant out for his arrest kept Hosoi from attending the first ever X Games in what was thought to be a hyped up battle between him and Tony Hawk.<\/p>\n<p>After a few years in the pen in the new century, Hosoi received support from the outside with special collaborations such as a Rising Sun deck released by Shorty&#8217;s modeled after his first board he designed when he turned pro with Sims Skateboards. Hosoi, a Japanese-American, chose this as a symbol of pride of his heritage.<\/p>\n<p>In 2006, Christian Hosoi founded <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hosoiskates.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Hosoi Skateboards<\/a> and was treated to a collaboration with Vans on the Sk8-Hi that some of you may remember from a couple years ago.?? Hosoi and Vans have come together yet again to produce three pairs of Vans with the rising sun pattern.??
