By all means, go ahead. You're already keeping this argument civil with the petty insults. Here are a few more quotes from his Thrasher interview, circa-Pretty Sweet for you to keep in mind as well.

"I never thought I'd be riding for Girl because I never thought I'd be good enough. I still don't."

"I'm worried about the fact that, as I get older, kids get better. Skateboarding just gets harder."

"I would like to not have to film another video part ... I appreciate it, but giving up four years of your life for a skate video project is a lot of effort. Having that little voice in your head saying "You gotta do it" ... For four years, you're asking yourself, "Are you good enough? Is this what you want to be doing?"

What a pompous, self righteous, entitled piece of shit. Am I right?
[close]

Alex, is that you??

Oh, you're referring to the legendary company whom he avoided wearing any clothing of which he abruptly quit so he could hock hilarious overpriced, uninspired clothing? How modest and humble that was of him... ::) ::) ::) ::)

I love how you cautiously avoided the part where I said he critiqued what Heath did AFTER retirement, not his actual retirement. And the part where he said "Red Bull is actually really progressive on music. There like the best thing going in music right now."

Numerous pros (many of which are his "friends") call him out all the time for being a spoiled brat with a negative attitude

Not going to continue feeding this troll. I'm done with this topic.
Haha, I'm a troll for saying something positive about someone. Alright. But while you're still lurking (yeah, I see you), could you point me in the direction of some actual quotes, not just hearsay and assumptions? You only provided one that has nothing to do with skateboarding...

Haha, I'm a troll for saying something positive about someone. Alright. But while you're still lurking (yeah, I see you), could you point me in the direction of some actual quotes, not just hearsay and assumptions? You only provided one that has nothing to do with skateboarding...

"There was a shop I went to out here in Greenpoint (Brooklyn) and it was basically a head shop with boards in it. Like all these big name boards on the wall by some bongs and I just wondered, like, "Why the fuck would you sell to this shop? Where is the integrity?"

And where is the integrity?...

"But Dover Street is owned by Comme De Garcons, the Japanese band, so it is all their stuff and then they are super selective about the other brands they carry."

Oh, there it is in a high end Japanese fashion shop...

Speaking of integrity:

"How did that Louis Vuitton commercial come about?

Oh, man. It was a job, so the money was good..."


and wait for it:

"...and then Nike was cool enough to let me do it..."

Good of Nike, a brand world renowned for its integrity...And, then:

"You should get on Red Bull.

No, I mean sure. But I don't want to wear the hat..."


Finally:


"Bianca could just get licensed out to Walmart.

No, I will kill the company before it comes to that. I don't care how much money I'm offered. I'm not going that route, but we will see."



So local shop = no, Japanese fashion house = yes, Louis Vuitton = yes, because Nike says so, Red Bull = Yes (if he can get a tasteful shirt) and

Walmart = no, not never, but we will see.

So you are criticizing the fact that he is human and can change his mind depending on the situation?

Hardly reaching and not really hating, just pointing out I disagree with some of his opinions.

His skating speaks for itself, but that doesn't mean we all have to love his brands or his values.

I think it's rad that we have people in skateboarding that can polarize people this much, seriously. Whether you like the guy or not, the fact that we're having this discussion is what separates skateboarding from being sports. Skateboarding is less what you do and more how you do it, including personality. Eli Reed ("poor man's Alex Olson") has a whole clothing line being sold at Opening Ceremony, but no one gives a shit about that, so I guess he's doing the fashion thing appropriately?

In another post I mentioned how skate culture is way sicker than surfing culture; where people give a shit about contest rankings, support giant companies that sell at Wal-Mart, and the most hyped dudes are vapid fitness balls. Love it or hate it, AO is keeping skateboarding interesting.
You know I thought these forums were a for skating not discussing fetishes

You see, critiquing a guy who chooses to deliver pizzas, bartend, TM is the exact thing a pompous, out of touch kid would do.

Numerous pros (some of which are his "friends") have called him out for being a spoiled brat with a negative attitude

Not going to continue feeding this troll. I'm done with this topic.

God I hope you stay true to the last statement

i wouldnt call him humble, just duplicitous.

the humble comments dont really take the edge off of the stupid shit he says.

its like someone saying sorry after spilling water on your laptop and then not paying for the repair. he said sorry, but my laptop is still broken.

ur equating the way a grown man answers being asked about his successful clothing and skateboard ventures to spilling water on someones laptop and not paying for repairs? 

sometimes I dont think anyone on slap has a brain.

oh shit, haters bout to hate so hard

He came off alright in this. I wonder how much of a difference it makes having an audio vs a transcript?It can really change the inflection behind everything,  particularly with someone like Olson.

I have a feeling if you met him, he would either be a real laugh or not even acknowledge your presence.

a friend of mine pestered him to smoke with us after the pretty sweet premiere in new york, and he doesnt smoke, but my friend kept bugging til he eventually agreed to at least stand with us outside and kick it as we passed it around. then he just asked us all our major in a line and we took selfies pretending to smoke. nice guy.

If I had a brand and that brand got into Dover Street Market I would be over the moon.

Just because it doesn't sell fruit of the loom or dickies or whatever you core as fuck midwest target shoppers want doesn't mean you have to be angry pussies about it. I think its pretty cool/funny for a "uber-luxe" department store to have boards on the wall. Its not like the kid going into DSM to buy the latest DSMxBianca Chandon tshirt was really going to go to a skate shop anyway.
