| Skater Christian Hosoi On Top Again |
| Wednesday, 05 August 2009 09:21 |
The legends of skateboarding dropped in for their contest runs today in front of a VIP viewing box packed with cheering pro skaters who were barely walking when they were busy dominating the skateboard scene. 1980s vert dominator Christian Hosoi, who regularly used to compete against Tony Hawk, and Planet Earth founder Chris Miller shined in the finals today, one-upping each other with stylish old school and new school tricks. Hosoi took the title in the end, going huge on his transfers and getting almost upside down in the cradle, to the delight of his many longtime fans. “I can’t tell you how good it feels to be here,” said Hosoi of his win. “I’m alive. I’m on my skateboard at the X Games. I feel like I’m 18 again.” Lance Mountain skated his way into bronze, grinning while he pulled stalled-out inverted handplants in the deep-end pool section. “We built this sport on concrete,” said Mountain, when asked about the concrete pool built for the X Games Park competitions. “When I was first asked to come and skate ramps here, I told them I would wait for concrete. And here it is. This park was amazing.” Final results from the Skateboard Park Legends competition held at the Home Depot Center in Los Angeles, Calif. on August 2, 2009.
