Pretty interesting documentary, it's on Netflix Steaming. I was 13 or 14 and into skating when he was in his prime. I always preferred his artistic flair and huge air to Tony Hawk's more technical style. Hosoi was just beautiful to watch on a half pipe.

Crazy how far he fell and the huge X-Games bank he missed out on due to drugs.

I loved this documentary. He is a great story of redemption. I also grew up loving watching him skate. Even bought a HammerHead as a kid.

I was a huge fan of his in my 80's skate rat life. Never heard anything about his situation or what called for "redemption." I'll have to give it a watch. Thanks.

Ragowski (sp?) on the other hand, was just an angry dickhead who belongs in prison.
