Lance Mountain was spotted, he was interested if we were keeping time on the contestants.  Dave Reul, master of the skate arena said "Naw were just letting them skate as long as they want, so they can make their special tricks" .  Kids everywhere were having the best time ever.


In the crowd we have contestants fans Kids from different backgrounds coming to a Christian Skateboard event.  The event the 3rd annual Hosoi Contest in Santa Ana.  Dave Reul and Robert Bradley have been working with Jennifer Hosio and her Uncle, Pastor Chris for the 3 years the contest has gone on.  I couldn't believe how much fun these kids were having, I was having a lot of fun judging the contest, with Dave Reul and Greg Leblanc, while Dave was announcing with Robert the "Skatanic Mechanic".  Everybody won, the thing most consistent about the judging was that each of us had different opinions as to who were the top skaters, which really says a lot for the different styles and expression of skating.  In the end, everybody got prizes and the event raised money to feed the hungry in the area.  I have to say that Jennifer Hosoi really is fighting to get her man out of prison.  I hope that Christian is free for the 4th annual Hosoi contest, these kids really have a blast and I know he would really love it!

This contest benefits the hungry of Santa Ana, and it's main focus is keeping kids out of gangs and off of drugs by giving them an alternative, Skateboarding!  It's a Christian gathering place that has a small skatepark.  What can I say but, Free Hosoi so he can be at the 4th annual Hosoi Skate Contest.  It's the City lights dream center
