If "least technically skilled" means he fucking rips, then yes, he is.

No.

yeah that's what i was gonna say. i don't like the guy but he get's pretty tech.

I think you're focusing on Olson's recent footage instead of his actual abilities. He has several flip-in / flip-out tricks in Fully Flared. He's obviously capable. Maybe he just doesn't enjoy that kinda skating.
-
The guys that are known for just ollies aren't the techest skaters out there like Pfanner, Luis Tolentino, HUF and even Olson but you have to put them in another category all their own. They just skate different but it's so interesting to watch. I don't think this generation of skaters will really appreciate it but it would suck to not have skaters like them.

maybe. but who's less skilled than him? by what footage shows at least. i just want to see if someone can think of a name.

Since 1994 when supreme opened and Alex Olson rides for Supreme and the Ghost of Lenny Kirk wrote a thesis on Supreme. Cool but obscure SLAP reference.

Grant?
And just like Olson, he can do whatever he wants on a skateboard and is better than 99% of everyone else. Tech is way overrated.

Skate Every Damn Day: Behind The Scenes with Stefan Janoski and Alex Olson (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNhKhIpCo7g#) 0:34 That one time Alex did a totally unexpected tech trick and made it look beautiful.
I'm pretty sure he's got the skill to do whatever he wants on a board, he just chooses what's comfortable for him and I think it works, his trick selection has always been pretty great if a little trendy. Not that it matters anyway, how often did Heath skate switch? Doesn't fucking matter.

I'm gonna hate myself for this one, but Nate Jones. He had amazing style, amazing style, but a limited bag of tricks. He has the best kickflip, a mean backside flip (he backside flipped a bump to bar back when most niggas was just ollying them), and one of the best tre flips, but overall, didn't do anything technically difficult.
-
Pleeeease there are plenty of pro parts that AO could recreate trick for trick, where the reciprocal would not be the case. Not to pick on someone, but I think AO could do virtually every trick that Jimmy Lannon has ever filmed. Think Jimmy Lannon could front-shuv a picnic table, or tailslide impossible out a very tall ledge? I doubt it. Not a knock on that dude since I love his skating and his style, probably more than AO's realistically, but there are plenty of pros I would consider having less technical skill/raw talent than AO.

Least technical career is probably Reynolds, it sounds weird but he doesnt skate rails, ledges, or manny pads very often

I'm just sayin you can be the best and just never choose to skate in a really tech way, has nothing to do with how skilled you are.
-
Bullshit!!!!
Alex can do tech tricks if he wants
Even in his pretty sweet part
He did kickflip backlip to a revert 270 out or what ever you wanna call it on a picnic table
That tailslide impossibe was a thing of beauty
And in that Jkwon line he did one of the better looking flatgorund backside bigflips Ive seen
Please dont start any more threads

I remember an article that came out around fully flared the said Koston and some of the other Lakai guys would get mad at Alex for what they called "hotdogin." One of them would be trying to land a trick for a while and then Alex would cruse through and do it first try. Kind of a dick move but it seems to agree with what other guys have already said. Just because there's not ledge tricks that are 5 trick combos in his parts doesn't mean he's not capable.

skateboarding, much like playing a musical instrument, should be judged purely by technical ability. thats why i only listen to Yngwie Malmsteen.

I've seen Olson in person do nice 2ft Backside Airs on an 8ft quarter. Don't think he's put much tranny stuff like that on tape. He definitely has some skills...

not that theyve been super tech recently, but gall was sick with proper switch flip back tails before that was a thing in skateboarding. reynolds can get as tech as anyone else, its just overshadowed by whatever big gap he decided to frontside flip that week.

dakota servold for sure. those FA kids and maybe sean powers?
alex is a top 5 power skater for this generation. easy. id rather watch him do 5 minutes of big ollies and simple tricks than do an awful looking trick like that tailslide impossible out. the dude is good at a specific thing, let him do that. why is he obligated to do every trick in the book? the koston model is an impossible standard. there is only one and there will never be another. even koston can't be koston anymore.
why cant you guys be ok with a guy who only does one thing really well? some people skate tech, some people don't.
also i feel like theres an undertone in some of your comments that because alex doesn't choose to do tech tricks they must not be worth doing or that tech is stupid or something.
tech is sick, tech will have it's moment again in a few years probably, its just missing it's mike carroll.

These pros make their careers with 3 tricks: Dakota Servold has bs and fs boardslide on kink rails.

Reynolds doesn't flip in flip out, never has. I really don't pay attention to the magazines anymore so I could care less about Alex Olson or Jimmy wilkins. We're talking big name pros here and Reynolds is not a tech skater, it had to be mentioned. Did I actually respond to this post? I must be dumb

They're not pros yet, but Sean Pablo and Sage Elsesser don't seem to have real technical skills. Apart from the occasional impossible and 360 flip, they don't ever flip their board or do difficult grinds and slides.

he may not be the most technical skater but he skates with power and style and does all the right tricks. jason lee/ethan fowler/heath inspired. maybe throw reese and jeremy wray in there. its not about flipping in and flipping out, especially if you can do just fine without it.
-
I don't think I've ever seen jaws do a ledge or manual trick in my life. he does flip in and out of tranny stuff occasionally though.

I'd say its prolly Jaws or Gravette. Olson can do a lot of things if he skated slower or with less power, he just likes to skate fast and with power. Also, I think tech skating is still extremely popular, people love Shane and P-rod who are both really tech. Also, while some people here didn't like it Pretty Sweet probably the most popular video in the last 5 years has 4 sections that are extremely tech.

That one quote always cracked me up:
"Skating can?t be put in the same category as other sports. It?s more like music? you can be technically good but nobody gives a crap. Just because somebody can play the shit out of a guitar doesn?t mean they can write a song."

Both Jaws and Gravette are super 'technically' skilled for what they do. Jaws can do crazy high tranny airs with fliptricks and 540's. And Gravette does some of the biggest handrails and can fucking backflip. If you're talking about technically as in 'tech' flip in flip out ledge skating, I'd have to go with Austin Stephens. Great style, but not very tech.

We're saying its not solely about ability. It's about creativity and originality. you can be a great guitarist but you just do covers, you can be alright at guitar but write some fucking great music because your creative and trying something new. Same principal, if nyjah went to el torro and front lipped it he's obviously good at skating, but who gives a fuck, heaths done it, he thought of it first. fuck I don't know

While I somewhat agree great skaters have creativity, there is a whole bunch of one-upism in skateboarding. If you saw someone fs 50-50, you can gather attention by doing a fs 5-0 or bs 50-50. Just look at the progression that goes on at spots. I mean it takes alot more talent than creativity to go to clipper after koston bs 50-50'd and sheffy did a fs 50-50, to then expand to stuff like nollie fs nosegrind. Same applies to other legendary spots like Hubba Hideout, Macba 4, Carlsbad, Love Fountain etc. Also Gravette is a crazy rail skater, but i wouldn't call that technical at least in context of how the term is commonly used, people weren't calling Jamie Thomas a tech skater even when he was progressing it in the 90's.

I agree, i sorta liken the one up thing to say a jazz standard. Jazz players are always playing giant steps, its a standard a write of passage for someone studying jazz, yet no matter what they do with it its coltrane's, you can't one up trane you can just take a different approach and develop in your way. Compare that to say wallenberg, the most memorable thing is always going to be gonz ollieing it. its like a skateboarding standard if you will, someone kickflips it, reynolds backside flips it, but its always going to point back to gonz ollieing it. to me thats not so much one upping rather progessing a spot which is a standard spot like a jazz standard. But if you shut down someone elses spot or bite their trick at that spot or blatantly copy their style, bag of tricks, whatever, then no one could care less and it kind of pisses me off. e.g. I like eli reeds skating and he seems like a nice enough dude but every now and then I see clips or things in his parts that are less a reference or inspired and more rip off which bugs me. This was all probably in incoherent pile of words
-
Nah. He's probably capable of doing some tech stuff. His style just doesn't really warrant it. He probably wouldn't be doing anything mindblowing but he could probably do some nice flip in/flip out stuff if he wanted.
-
nate jones had the fakie tre down double sets Gall helped pioneer switch and reynolds skates ledges and shit but dosnt release footy of it cause hes dumb i guess (bias i hate his parts)
Yeah, I always wondered why Nate gave that fake tre down the double set for Kenny Reed's part and not his own.
-
the music comparison is spot on!
in every town there is that one skatepark/local 'ripper' who can do every trick but they are just replicating what they have seen in vids/mags.. but unless they're bringing something new/exciting to the table noone gives a shit..
if you are meaning tech as in torey pudwill style flip in flip during flip out sense of the word then, Corey Duffel, Elissa Steamer, Jon Allie, Shuriken Shannon.. theres an endless list of skaters that dont skate like that but that does not mean they are less skilled/ talented in any way its just not how they skate..
-
I can't wait until skating is like an Evil Knievel stunt, 25 minutes of buildup and slow mo's for one death defying stunt.
