Jay Howell and Jim Dirchberger have a new animated series for Vans called “Classic Tales”. The first installments are up now, starring Christian Hosoi, Alex Knost and Andrew Doheny. More to come.  http://offthewall.tv/video/classic_tales_trailer

Over the weekend in Huntington Beach, California, Converse hosted their Coastal Carnage. With such skaters as Rune Glifberg and Christian Hosoi in the competition, the stakes were high. But Diamond Supply Co. rider Raven Tershay came through with the first place victory and a check for $10,000. Congrats to Raven and the Tershay family.

Skate legend Christian Hosoi will be on Fuel TV’s Daily Habit on Wednesday (New Year’s Eve) at 9pm EST (6pm PST). Tune in to hear his wonderful life story and witness his unrivaled skating. And yeah, he invented the Christ Air so you may get to see one of those too.
