To avoid the encroaching gang life surrounding Hawaiian Gardens, California, @chrisjoslin_’s grandmother introduced the young skater to El Dorado, the nearby skatepark in Long Beach. There, even at a young age, Joslin avoided the transitions, preferring to jump over entire pyramids straight to flat.

This tendency sparked something in the young skater, and by his teenage years, Chris Joslin was traveling throughout Southern California in search of huge stair sets and setups to jump down. Eventually, word spread of Joslin’s exploits, and he was invited to join the esteemed Plan B Skateboards team and film for their 2014 video “True.” His part shocked the world of skateboarding, and from there, things went from zero to one hundred pretty fast for Joslin. More video parts followed, more sponsorships followed, and he turned pro a short time later. But along the way, Chris Joslin had to check himself. “We both knew we were drinking too much,” says teammate Ryan Sheckler. Luckily, Joslin recognized his issue and and corrected his path.

Now a committed family man, Chris Joslin hasn’t lost his focus or ability to progress. This is BEING: Chris Joslin.

pirate_surf_king Wow what a motivational mini film. I've had 6 year out of skateboarding I broke my back in 4 places ironically not on my board. I have got back into it this year skated 10-20 times and I feel that drive motivation and passion again. I really want to be better than I ever was than I ever could have dreamed of but realistically I'm happy with just going big and clean and keeping it simple for now ?

jared.m.p Couple years ago I went to SLS in LA and I hadn’t really heard much about Joslin and he was doing and kept trying that big bs 180 over the quarter and even though he was pretty much out he kept trying until he landed it for us fans and that’s when he became one of my favorites. Dude deserves it all.
