i never really liked shorty's steve olson
fuuuuuuuuuuuck you. Shorty's Steve Olson is a god and legend.
definitely to some, but pretty much my whole generation from the northeast thought shorty's and osiris were the worst shit out. i'd go so far as to say that the alien/habitat thing was a reaction to it.
Get the fuck outta here. Olson was never on Osiris and was never part of that SD supertech scene. He was a hippie on his own trip who did a ton of shit that was ahead of his time because he wasn’t skating like anybody else. And shorty’s was the end of his career, most of his best stuff was on foundation. Everything you just said is a terrible justification of your dislike for Steve Olson.
And your claim that habitat alien was a reaction to something that existed as the same time as them? Come on man! That’s ridiculous
i wouldn't know if he was or wasn't on osiris, as i ignored that whole scene pretty hard (despite the fact i found myself in the mix with those dudes more than i liked). in fact, i didn't watch a shorty's vid until maybe 5 years ago, and i only watched like 2 parts...and i was in the background ha
dislike is rather strong, disinterest due to sloppiness and/or unappealing style is more like it. dude was incredibly talented, like mayhew, but i just couldn't enjoy their aesthetics
you're old enough to remember how sd footage dominated the dominant publication of the time (transworld). this had been going on long before the momentum built up to produce classic east coast videos such as photosynthesis. trash talk about sloppy overly tech cali dudes with bad style was a steady thing on the east coast throughout the 90's.
