So weird. Just the other day, Olson was talking about the pressures of the impending Vans video. Guess the pressures off. More footy for the Choco vid i guess . . .

WutTtt

I heard they are doing a syndicate team with Olsen and others...

What about Dollin and J-lay?

What about Dollin and J-lay?
their names aren't mentioned in the press release when they mention their "Signature Riders," soooooo . . . .

Vert dude's just can't hold down shoe sponsors nowadays.
And if Olson gets on Nike, he's one of the luckiest son of a bitches ever.
-
they got rid of their team faster than DC
I was hoping for an alex olson part on the vid, bummer

I hope to god vans gives jason dill his own shoe

WOW - I REALLY LIKED OLSON ON VANS.
BUCKY = KSWISS
OLSON = GRAVIS.....BUT WOULD LOVE HIM ON NIKE
-
Fucking bullshit. But how sweet would it be for Olson to go back on Lakai?

That can just mean they don't have pro models anymore/right now. They also didn't mention Chris Pfanner, Andrew Allen, Chima, Keegan, etc. Dollin and JLay are still on the Vans site while Lasek, Cavedoni, and Olson are off.
-
That's really lame. Curren caples over massimo? Olson fit well too but he'll get picked up on another team, massimo on the other hand...

Olson back to Lakai! I don't see how he can get on the swoosh.

Stop smoking crack, Olson on Nike is everything he's against.
-
I'm more bummed for Massimo than Olson (not saying I dislike Olson though).
-
Alex is on Nike for sure. Just heard about this yesterday, already wearing the shoes.
-
Sucks for those dudes. At least JLay and Dollin are still on though. Alex Olson seems like a weird fit for Nike. I thought he was super against Nike, Cons, etc. Maybe I was mistaken though.
-
Damn, Massimo getting let go sucks. Olson will find his way somewhere.
-
Time for some Axion! ;)

wow! pretty crazy... wish massimo the best, he fucking rips

Definitely not, but I've seen him plenty of times bashing Nike, Adidas, and Cons on his tumblr.
But oh well, according to the picture, it happened. I was wrong once again.
-
damn nike, their team is looking pretty nice.
this should be interesting if he were to ever have a pro model, which i feel like he will
-
i cant believe olson is off. i dont think he would do it but i think gravis would be a good fit for him

How can they get rid of Bucky?? ???

life is good when you're handsome

Bucky on Airwalk
Olson on Nike
Cavedoni on Huf

AIR OLSON

Alex on Nike seems pretty random, but not unlikely.
he used to be on Nike flow before he got on Lakai. He's even wearing them on his first Skateboarder cover.
-
Makes sense for Alex, his shoe the versa tanked and vf corp seems pretty focused on the bottom line.

Maybe cuz he's not that much of a legend.. no offense.

Bucky on Genetic

Technically, that was a team shoe. He gave some input on it but they never gave it to him as a pro model.

Every catalog I saw said inspired or designed by Alex Olson. It wasn't a pro model per say but he did have the concept and creative control.

does anyone remember that massimo used to be am for blind? true story. but this sucks, hope he gets picked up soon. as for olson, if he gets on nike by doing the bare minimum in his skate career, thats crazy.

Alex was wearing Janoskis at the SB premiere on Saturday. There's been rumors that he's going to be on Nike clothing as well. Batface was wearing Chukka Lows on at the SB deal, a lot of people that aren't on Vans wear them casually but Chukka lows seem like an odd casual shoe.

from what I remember lakai let alex go because another company (vans) offered him a large amount of money? guess nike had an even better offer to make.

wheres the dill announcement?

Never would have expected Olson to get the boot from vans ( I'm assuming it was that way, though considering Dollin and Layton are still on I guess I'm less certain). It would be pretty weak if he went to gravis I think, him and Dylan? Would just look like they are trying way too hard. Nike is a kind of weird fit but I'm into it. And with these S.B chronicles things apparently coming out every year there is a handy place for him to put that left over vans footage. (anybody heard any rumors about who is going to be in vol.2 by the way?)

1.He got the offer when the team started, he didn't took it. No real rumors about now.
2. According to prod there's going to be one every year, by the end of it, he said he would be on the third one.
-
Fucking sucks, alex was perfect on vans :-X and I was hoping he would pull off two awesome parts in two consecutive years.
-
If he has any vans footage stacked and it went into next year's S.B chronicles he could have two awesome parts in one year. (Though realistically this probably won't happen)
-
Though its happened, I don't think Nike would accept footage of Alex in Vans. Unless they feel like photoshopping his feet.

this is true. nike would not dig on that. i know a dude who does vfx who had to fix people skating in "the wrong shoes" in a fairly recent video. the kind with a big budget. they also do things like take out distracting signage in the background (he had to do a few for leo's part, among others, in stay gold). it sounds like bullshit, but it's real and it happens more than one may think.
how long ago did olson get on vans? it was around 3 years or so, right? nobody's thinking it's as simple as his contract expired and he moved on?
-

I am sure he can reflilm all his stuff in Nike shoes. It's not like there's a Nike video coming out too.
-
Signature or not I'm just glad Dollin and Layton are still on....
I can completely understand why Olson, Massimo and Lasek are off. Olson was probably a large check almost nothing in return, don't get me wrong I like him when he skates but he hasn't had much real coverage over the past couple years. A couple ads, a couple little street clips and some park footage, he looked damn good doing it all but his endorsement wasn't worth the investment I'm guessing. Vans could probably ad Lutheran and Berle for the same price and those dudes have put out insane amounts of coverage. Massimo's footage in Real was short and disappointing and Lasek....well we all know he's not helping sell any shoes. I'm surprised there was no mention of Dill being added to the team, perhaps his annoucnement well come in 2012? I'm glad to see Vans in staying on top of their team and clarifying by updating their site.

yeah, that's what i was guessing.. i suppose it's possible Vans would kick Alex off, but he seems like a marketable rider for any team, despite having arguably less footage than some people

Yes I did actually, I was really looking forward to his footage too, but his style got weird and his trick selection was bad. Idk the whole Real video was a huge let down but his footage wasn't even good. In fact all I can even remember is that hideous 360flip tailslide. I mean what else did he have to film for? He couldn't come through with a full part? I'm not trying to bash the guy, I actually really liked his previous stuff and backed him but I can understand why he is off vans.

i think the whole deal with him not having a full part was that the team is pretty bug to where 3 parts were shared (nick/ernie kyle walker/antoine and massimo/brockel).. i personally dug his style..esp that line with no pushes in between... but yeah the vans team is really big. hopefully he gets on a shoe co that will give him more coverage

massimo was injured for a while, hence the lack of footage.
someone was claiming on here pretty recently though that he would be putting out a new part really soon and that it would include the best line ever filmed at the sf library(better than carrolls even).
-
Morf got it around the time of his fixed gear deal. JJ got a couple cause of his Hi-Bond thing. TG for his newer record maybe. Max has 4Q. Vans seems to do these for skate dudes that have some other creative thing going on outside of skating. Not because they're getting put on the A team. Probably aimed at older skaters who need a snazzy shoe to wear to the skart show at the gallery, or to the skate music show at the hip club. not knocking it. just sayin.
-
No line is better than Carroll's library line.

Huh?

rumor also is in olsons vans contract he couldnt stay in nyc for a long time/never get an actual apartment to keep him skating in cali/get more footage.
-
He'd fit better on Cons in my opinion.
-
Though Massimo had a shared part, someone on here said he had filmed a good amount that will be released in a b-sides or something.
Massimo had enough footage for a full part and was supposed to have one but Dan Wolfe made him share one with Robbie Brockel. I could easily have done without three slow mo intro parts in order to get a full Massimo part. In regards to the b-sides, that person was just asking Real to release a b-side because he knew that he had enough good footage.
-
He'd fit better on Cons in my opinion.
why because he doesn't skate like Pappalardass
-
Olson could just wind up on the Quiksilver footwear team if Nike doesn't happen.
-
i never understood why they added dan wolfe to the editing team. the real video didnt need a big time editor to headline the video just the normal one that did all the other ones and made them awesome. the real video has some of the best footage but the editing wasnt all there. roadrunner for busenitz? i get it. he skates fast so we use a couple corny songs? duuuuuuude. correct me where im wrong on any of this. was ishods slow mo intro necessary? was that cheezy homecoming song for busenitz tight? fuuuuck no.
-
All of the riders picked their own music.

i actually thought brian eno in a skate video was pretty sick. but yeah, some of that editing was pretty regular, especially ishod's intro.

Correct - I got a pair of the Max Schaaf 4Q era's - one of the best shoe's I've ever had. Wore them for 2 years - now I am finally skating them. They murder my feet cause they're shot, but with triple stitched super awesome leather and fireproof suede...
But most of his shit has to go the motorcycle scene promo. and 4Q of course.
His shit will come with motorcycle grips, rags - shit like that.
Who doesn't like a good cross promo with vans - I like anything they do, for example: I don't like the chukka low, but Andrew Allen did a colorway and I was like oh cool. I enjoy geeking out on shit like that. Vans will come through with that more so than not - but then again, they have the most awesome crew...I mean go watch any shore break baby
-
All of the riders picked their own music.
theres no way busenitz picked those songs. didnt he say he hated the entire "i go fast" shtick? and that intro was beyond cheezy. reguardless he couldnt choose how his clips were edited together. great skating and great skater. but just not in the order dan wolfe organized it.
-
I also have no idea what you're talking about with that "homecoming" song, Brian Eno is fucking sick.
-
and so are the modern lovers (roadrunner)
-
Any footage Alex has in Vans shoes would just go to the Chocolate/Girl video.

A couple ads, a couple little street clips and some park footage, he looked damn good doing it all but his endorsement wasn't worth the investment I'm guessing. Vans could probably ad Lutheran and Berle for the same price and those dudes have put out insane amounts of coverage. Massimo's footage in Real was short and disappointing and Lasek....well we all know he's not helping sell any shoes. I'm surprised there was no mention of Dill being added to the team, perhaps his annoucnement well come in 2012? I'm glad to see Vans in staying on top of their team and clarifying by updating their site.
you really thought his footage was disappointing?
Yes I did actually, I was really looking forward to his footage too, but his style got weird and his trick selection was bad. Idk the whole Real video was a huge let down but his footage wasn't even good. In fact all I can even remember is that hideous 360flip tailslide. I mean what else did he have to film for? He couldn't come through with a full part? I'm not trying to bash the guy, I actually really liked his previous stuff and backed him but I can understand why he is off vans.
his part got cut short with out them telling him, and i heard he was dissapointed with the stuff they put in of him in the video, They cut out swch tre on library gap in SF in a line if that says anything to you. He has footage that wasnt released acording to people who are his homies. and HE IS ON HUF now, he got on for clothes, then he got the boot from vans and is now rockin the Huf shoes.

and so are the modern lovers (roadrunner)
song s been used- elissa steamer in a baker vid

I also have no idea what you're talking about with that "homecoming" song, Brian Eno is fucking sick.
that brian eno song didnt compliment his skating at all and roadrunner was cheesy. i expected amazing. all i got was cliched.

All of the riders picked their own music.
theres no way busenitz picked those songs. didnt he say he hated the entire "i go fast" shtick? and that intro was beyond cheezy. reguardless he couldnt choose how his clips were edited together. great skating and great skater. but just not in the order dan wolfe organized it.
He did pick his own songs. Even called elissa and everything.

Ghost of Lenny, you do realize that there are elements to music other than lyrics?
-
I thought Busenitz's song was fine, but I do think in general the Real video was edited pretty bad.
-
feel like any of Olson's vans footy will be greg hunt, AWS style and might not mesh with Ty's style, we'll see
-
yeah since day one had some awful music and editing.

Saw the new Vans catalogs today, jlay and dollin are both in the catalog. No pro models but in there. Dill is all over the syndicate one.
