Title: Best all time ollie team?
Post by: friendly dave on April 02, 2024, 06:50:39 PM
I'm not talking draft pick style of best all time ollie team. I was thinking which team at some point had the best assembled team of olliers at one time? My friend posted the Steve Bailey thrasher cover and it got me thinking.

At one point Consolidated had 1010, Alan Peterson, Steve Bailey, and Karma Tcsoef, or however you spell his last name. That's a pretty heavy crew of solid, albeit transition ollies.

Are there any other teams that had a lineup of ollie pops that would stack up? Like Element had some all timers with Reese, Barley, Westgate but not all at the same time.

What yall got?

Huf the skater, or Huf the brand? Real has had some solid ollie masters over the years.

Real because they had Hufnagel.
That’s about all you need, but it didn’t stop there.
Also any team Reese has ever touched.
Fuck that, ANY TEAM Donger has ever been on.
This is a fun discuss, but I find myself fixating on personal faves: pretty sure we’re about 5 to 10 posts from this thread devolving into a generalized list of people’s favorite skaters.

This line up is pretty convincing & if we’re going all time, Levi Brown and Westgate are worth mentioning and I have a soft spot for Brent Atchley.

Street ollies it's gotta be late 90s/early 200s element, zoo York is a left field shout though with I believe Supa/Gangemi/Bici/Pang/Harold/Ponte all on at the same time, that's a solid crew of jumpers right there. Transition I gotta go for Antihero, Julien/Cardiel/Hewitt/Trujillo/Grant/Russo seems like an unbeatable line up of ramp flyers.

Honestly probably Plan B in 1992. Sheffey, McKay, Howard, Carroll, Mullen, Duffy, Matt Hensley, Sal Barbier

Or Zoo York in 98. Harold Hunter, Danny Supa, Bici, Jeff Pang, Justin Pierce, Robbie Gangemi.

Both had teams with crazy pop

Idk if he was showing off or what but when we split from Copley to the hospital it was the first thing that humbled me. His casual Ollie up the curb in front of the library wasn't high but he covered crazy ground with zero effort.

Thanks for posting this. I no longer have stacks of mags to jog my memory.

Fun fact: After Matt Hensley won the high ollie contest at NSA street contest in Honolulu, I lucked into running seeing him and shaking his hand and congratulating him right after. Thank you for accepting my outstretched hand Mr. Hensley even though I had spiked up gel hair and looked like Filipino/Asian gang member more than a fellow skater at the time.

Remember the commerical? My little brother was so stoked on it because he thinks he was the first person to lift that block and throw bricks under it with Ian?

I was in jail at the time so I wasn't going to Boston with my little brothers. Flipping dominos not bloards.

P stone had an Incredible Ollie now I think about it.

Charlie Wilkens excellent Ollie especially in transition
