Just after Christian's release from prison. I was fortuneate enough to have the opportunity to meet him through my close friend Jesse Martinez. Christian was doing a demo @ Anaheim stadium for the Harvest Festival (this is a annual Christian gathering). It was a privledge to meet the Man we were all inspired by him during his skate rampage during the 80's. Eventually, I began skating with him via Jesse aka The Mess. This was the start of my relationship with all the OG Dogtown boys up to the present.
