You know when you are a kid and you see a bad slam, or remember
someone as being the best skater in town? Then years later you see
the footage again (or the skater) and they are nothing like you
remember... The slam was soft, the skater was fat and can barely ollie.
I was worried that this was the case with this Hosoi slam from a 1985
Mt Trashmore contest. My good friend Dave Messick filmed this, and
I'm pretty sure he is the only one that did. He originally showed
me the footage around 1995 and I was blown away...You see, Hosoi just
didn't slam like that! Especially when he was doing his trademark
airs on the edge of the ramp. I called Dave a few months ago to dig
it out of the vaults, and it was just as good if not better then i
remembered!! Enjoy this piece of history!

He must have left some of that fat you mentioned on the ramp. Maybe it was cheaper than liposuction. Did they even have that back then..the mind wonders. Thanks for sharing this Jesse.
