There is no modern day skating that can even come close to that!! 80's was lightning in a bottle... A certain time and place in history that was damn near perfect!

@John Dunbar Wow your right. Hosoi is shit. If there was no skateboarding before todays generation do you think the kid would of done a 360 flip crooked grind down a twenty set rail? I think not. I think he would be shitting him self working up the courage to do a 5 stair lazy rail

Sam Fisher need to be. you need big heavy wheels, 159/169 axles and a longer wheelbase and 9"-10" Deck to pull all this at that speed. A modern deck with it's 139 trucks and tiny 50mm wheels would be way too sketchy to do those moves in a series. Try to skate one of those tiny modern popsicles in a ramp like that.... it's impossible, doesn't even have enough grip. You really need a bigger, wider, longer setup for that. Modern pool boards don't differ much from oldschoolboards. typical setup is a 9,5 with shorter nose thus longer wheelbase, 159 indies and 60-65mm wheels. Weighs exactly the same as the old boards.

I was a skateboard wanna be, a poser if you will, back in high school later 80’s…..I sucked at it. I’ve been on ramps like this, and to this day over 30 years later, it still blows my mind how absolutely amazing some of these guys are. Years later they would start to get the recognition they deserve, but they truly are world class athletes IMO.

The higher and faster u go the more u have slow ur moves down I have never seen any body but Christian display that kinda of control and precision,oh ducking ayh I'm jealous u better believe gotta have goals,hah hah I got it oh a Christ air,I laugh when I start talking about doing airs people again people who know right away say Hosoi,and I go who,as I stand there laughing with my arms in the Christ pose with my board in one hand,waiting and then they say yeah u never heard of him,honest.really for a long time I only had skateboarder mag picture s of all my vert idiols so I really learning more now with the help of u tube ......more like reliving...I'm still in disbelief that we have skate parks now next to tennis courts,and pools too....people talk about why years ago skate boards never really sold like bicycles....its plain and simple...the average person knows 5 people who dumbly stood on the thing and fell straight in their tail bine and that shit unfortunately don't heal quick or ever so most people u could not big tie them and get them on skateboard if u tried,ever its called a mental block,unless some one really wants to do it for what ever their motivation,in the old days 4 out 5 dentist surveyed their moms would day no...thank god we don't have to worry about that any more.....Hosoi Hosoi Hosoi Hosoi....hah hah

If christian would lose his pot belly fat and get himself back into shape perhaps lifts some weights do some cardio he could skate like this again. The way he skates so fast and loose on this run is fooken amazing and that air to fakie about 2 feet from the edge of the ramp took balls.
