A great skater, but he's done so little since Nike put him on skateboarding-wise. He's not a guy who earned a legend type deal.

Pulled a Marisa del Santo after pretty sweet. He's nasty at skating flat and lines though, i think he just got sick of making skateboarding his job.

It kinda sucks to be a pro since you do it for the love of skateboarding but then you're stuck in a cycle of producing content and risk getting broke off on gnarly spots just for seasonal product releases/videos.

He definetly could have pulled a nik stain tho.

You have to respect how tasteful he kept his skating. I can’t think of any nasty tricks he’s done on camera. I’m sure he could do a front smith front heel out but you’d never see him do that shit. Always kept it clean and very pleasing to the eye.

I think there's a random clip of him doing a nollie-lazer which surprised me since he has almost no switch/nollie footage (so while a horrific trick, was sort of cool to see he could do that). But, his clips that are actually meant to be released are always ultra-clean and with power.

I really hoped for an AO Nike SB part but if he’s doing well with Bianca Chandon and 917 and doesn’t have to skate for the camera for Nike money then good for him. I hope he’ll still put out clips since his skating is fucking magical.

917 being through baker/ reynolds tossing him a couple pity-pedlow kids will likely be his saving grace at this point. he wants to be his dad without waiting another 45 years. nothing new

I *think* I know the clip you're talking about. I think it was some throwaway footage for an old Nike campaign. The stills here look familiar but the vid's been scrubbed. And since it's Nike, that likely means properly scrubbed.

Back to AO, he could have been one of the greatest if he kept skating consistently. His swoosh part and 917 clips show so much style, but he ultimately doesn't deliver for one reason or another. Still a huge fan though.

(Venice, Early 2021)

After the 917 team complains about the direction of the company at an awkward company dinner, Alex Olson makes a promise to the team to buckle down and focus on the new season. No more music. No more surfing. No more dicking around. He works and works. There are new graphics, new clothing mock ups, and a new life for the company.

Alex invites everyone to a dinner the following day at an oceanfront restaurant to show them the product. Alex gets there early but unfortunately the team is delayed by a passing thunderstorm. Alex opens his car door only for all the new graphics/catalogs to blow into the ocean. He goes to jump in to save them but a passerby mentions "Mister it's too cold to go in like that..." Alex grabs the wetsuit that's been sitting in the back of his car along with an old surfboard that's on his roof. "These designs aren't getting away!" For safety, he puts on a bluetooth speaker blaring music on the coast so he can hear a way back to shore if the visibility gets too bad.

He runs down the beach, jumps in the water, and starts paddling out. At the same time, the 917 team is seated at the oceanfront restaurant. Max Palmer asks "i wonder where Alex is...his car is out front..." to which Cyrus Bennett looks off in the distance and with a scowl on his face answers "Right there...surfing...listening to music...dicking around...are you fucking kidding me?!?!?" The whole team is disgusted and decides to quit on the spot.

As they walk to their cars, Alex gets back to shore empty handed. He runs up to them. They all ignore him except Nik Stain who looks him in the eyes and mutters "we asked you to take it serious for one day...one day...and you're out here jamming and surfing..." to which Alex responds "NO I WAS WORKING..." to which Nik responds "In the ocean wearing a wetsuit?!?!" Camera stays on Alex speechless and slack jawed as the entire team drives away.

After the 917 team complains about the direction of the company at an awkward company dinner, Alex Olson makes a promise to the team to buckle down and focus on the new season. No more music. No more surfing. No more dicking around. He works and works. There are new graphics, new clothing mock ups, and a new life for the company.

Alex invites everyone to a dinner the following day at an oceanfront restaurant to show them the product. Alex gets there early but unfortunately the team is delayed by a passing thunderstorm. Alex opens his car door only for all the new graphics/catalogs to blow into the ocean. He goes to jump in to save them but a passerby mentions "Mister it's too cold to go in like that..." Alex grabs the wetsuit that's been sitting in the back of his car along with an old surfboard that's on his roof. "These designs aren't getting away!" For safety, he puts on a bluetooth speaker blaring music on the coast so he can hear a way back to shore if the visibility gets too bad.

He runs down the beach, jumps in the water, and starts paddling out. At the same time, the 917 team is seated at the oceanfront restaurant. Max Palmer asks "i wonder where Alex is...his car is out front..." to which Cyrus Bennett looks off in the distance and with a scowl on his face answers "Right there...surfing...listening to music...dicking around...are you fucking kidding me?!?!?" The whole team is disgusted and decides to quit on the spot.

As they walk to their cars, Alex gets back to shore empty handed. He runs up to them. They all ignore him except Nik Stain who looks him in the eyes and mutters "we asked you to take it serious for one day...one day...and you're out here jamming and surfing..." to which Alex responds "NO I WAS WORKING..." to which Nik responds "In the ocean wearing a wetsuit?!?!" Camera stays on Alex speechless and slack jawed as the entire team drives away.
