Skateboarding
Go back to Portland, Oregon, and Chris Joslin’s battle to put it down at the 2025 Rockstar Energy Open. “I used to compete because I’m a competitive person, but now I compete because I’ve got a family to feed.” Joslin’s dedication and focus are clear at every single event. Years of experience have earned him his elite bag of tricks. His headspace and how he handles himself in moments of pressure are other skills that only time can teach.
Chris failed to make the cut for the Men’s Street Finals, but he didn’t let it define his weekend. “It sure is important to come back from your setbacks… for me, I’ve got a reason to keep going. I’ve got a family.” This episode of First Person: Chris Joslin follows him through the weekend, right up to the moment he won the Cash for Tricks Best Trick Jam to leave his mark on the event. “The fans saved my life.”
