Christ Air is an aerial skateboarding trick where, while flying in the air, the skateboarder picks up his board into one of his hands and then spreads his arms and straightens his legs forming a pose that resembles Jesus Christ on the cross. It was invented by skater Christian Hosoi. Recently, Denmark's Rune Glifberg has become the Christ Air's most famous practitioner. In April 2007 professional skater Martyn Jackson performed a 14ft high Christ Air, the second highest behind Hosoi himself. Also known to do the Christ Air is Danny Way.
