![]() That day? All the local NYC kids were having one of the best sessions of our lives. And then there, in the photo, watching in the background is a 15-year-old me, standing on the pole, holding a lemonade. Again, I whisked them away to get scanned in to see if any treasure was to be found.Īnd then, weeks later, just like that, in my hands, there they are-actual photos of an actual Christian Hosoi actually ollieing over the Brooklyn Banks wall for the very first time ever-an “only person on the planet Earth” caliber accomplishment. Stana, however, hyped off all the excitement that her newly-discovered pictures evoked, went digging through her closet, and found a single roll of lost film negatives. ![]() No pictures of this event have ever been found. ![]() Hosoi ollied the banks wall that day in front of a small crowd of amazed skaters and on-lookers. ![]() In these negatives were rare forgotten photos of an 18-year-old Christian Hosoi skating our beloved Brooklyn Bridge Banks. Previously on Jenkem, my childhood friend and legendary OG NYC skater chick, Stana Weisburd, graciously allowed me to scan in her collection of amateur skate photos of NYC in the 1980s. ![]()
