I love both of them. Hosoi seemed like more of a natural and Hawk is like the less athletic guy who practices harder to land the most technical tricks. Hosoi surfs the pipe Hawk skates it.

I skated full-time from 1985 to 2002 and I can tell you today nobody is going to win off of style. Hawk was 10 times the skater that Christian was. There’s eight year olds out there today that's can do every single thing that Christian did at his peak. Can’t say that about Tony hawk

When it comes to Hosoi vs Hawk, it's always down to technical vs style. As much as I loved Tony's technical run (he definitely bagged that 720 in the end), there's something sublime and transcendent about Christian's sense of style-he makes the big air look so effortless and grand. I'm fine at either one winning, but my subjective vote always favor Hosoi. I remember owning this video, I think Hosoi wins. How come you didn't upload the rest of the video?

agree with the general comments being made...Christian is throwing huge airs in each run and makes it look easy. Tony threw in a few more tricks but didnt get nearly the same height in his airs and overall just didnt look as confident. my preference was for Hosoi's style but I get why people may vote tony in this comp....had the same problem in surfing at the time, "soul surfers" that rode the wave effortlessly and carved vs a more technical surfers that just didnt look at home on a wave.
@adamrobinette68323 жыл бұрын
I just think here it comes down to how this event was scored. Tony may have looked awkward getting to the incline. But it's a. What trick you did b. How hard was it? and c. How successful was it from a technical standpoint? His moves were just more difficult overall, he had two twisting tricks to Hosoi's one, one of which was a 720, and he landed them both perfectly, along with everything else he did. It's like freestyle ski jumping. A guy could be all arms and legs going down to the ramp and look goofy. But if he hits the ramp, does most insane shit of the competition and lands it perfectly, he's winning over someone that is silky smooth, looks like an eagle and flowy moving through the attempt, but has a lower difficulty. Because the event doesn't care how graceful you look overall. Only the tricks you perform and whether it's a successful attempt from a technical standpoint.

I think if Hosoi kept a work ethic like Tony and wasn't into the party life history would have told a different story. Then again I'm pretty sure Hosoi hooked up with Madonna while Tony was collecting electronics so there's always that. Ah moderation.

Hawk needed a rival and they were polar opposites. Hosoi did some insane shit later in his career, like boned out tail grabs to tail like head high. Something about the way he skates... hosoi always landed right below the coping, foot placement was always perfect, made everything look silky smooth, did 540s so high and properly upside down rodeo style. Yeah, he wasn't as technical as Tony Hawk but he skated how he wanted to skate and did it very uniquely. Like Chris Miller... doesn't have a huge bag of tricks but i can watch with God given style all day over a technician like early Hawk (current Hawk is definitely more fun to watch), Andy McDonald, etc. Some guys with combined style and tech are Moto and Wilkins.

Love both these guys. But it's undeniable that Tony was technically better. He thoroughly dominated skateboarding contests in the 80's and 90's , not because he was popular, but because he was so far ahead of everyone else. This isn't a rip on Hosoi. Hosoi is one of the nicest guys around and he made a massive contribution to skateboarding but Tony is the Michael Jordan of skateboarding. and most pro skateboarders know and freely admit this.

Everyone likes to contrast these two as being style vs technique. But honestly, Tony Hawk is just better. He knows and mastered more tricks. Just because Hosoi, who is a great skater, looks cooler while skateboarding, doesn't mean that he is actually performing as well as the skinny and nerdy Tony Hawk. He's just sexier so he is judged more favorably.

Was always a fan of Hosoi over Hawk although I have huge respect for Tony's skill and natural talent. I feel bad for Hawk that he put up with a lot of bullshit from assholes he didn't deserve. So he wasn't stylish, he didn't deserve to be hated for it! Easy to see how that divided skateboarding though, modern competition is all about the flips and spins, style is meaningless to judges. In some ways they've taken the soul out of skateboarding which is why I'm not real interested in competitions. I'd rather watch older videos of guys with style and soul...Hosoi...Cab...Miller etc....

I was there Hosoi won, but I ammin disagreement with many here about Hosoi, he is awesome for sure but he does a lot of boring filler airs whereas Hawk pulls out technical stuff on pretty much every wall. Just having power and “style” and high airs should never beat the successful application of difficult tricks and greater variety. I recall I was clearly disappointed by the final decision, and seeing their second to last runs here many many years later only reinforces what I thought then.
