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.
-
Contracts expire. Shrug.
Wasn’t like there was a mass purge of riders (like Max) as was falsely reported last year (and the year before that and the year before that)
-
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.

Dude is a strange lad, but his power is undeniable. I actually copped a couple of 917 boards recently and they are pretty great.

agreed

this clip rules, it's one of my favorite ever.
but goddamn, it really exemplifies why i hate bills filming. 30+ seconds of slo mo for a pushing line where nothing happens? come on

heavy cocaine vibes on the edit
back 3 kf was sick but i wouldnt say the best

Alex Olson never had the makings of a varsity athlete.
-
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.
-
yeah, AO is one of the greats/rarities of his generation, whether you like or not. Whether he knows it or not.
-

Got to say I love that intro
-
yeah that swoosh clip was sick but it was also 7 years ago.
that being said, i literally filmed the wallie over the steps at cityhall for instagram in shorts one day back around the time that came out lol.
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

wish hed put out more footy of him doing literally anything, i love that long haired fucker

BA has such a great 360 flip. He scoops without making a huge fuss about where his back foot is, then catches with his front foot, leaving out the stank leg.
-
Does anyone know the video where he does a random switch inward heel in the middle of a line in China? Wearing a red flannel maybe? Started an account just to ask this lol, but this thread got me thinking about that trick and its driving me crazy I can't find it

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.

That's definitely the right outfit and time period. Damn it Nike :'(
Hopefully there will eventually be a cultofalex IG that can unearth the footy.

there definitely was a purge of riders but max is still on, there was like one pic of him in vans but every clip in the limo and hit vid he was wearing nikes and that was all recent footy

I remember this, good memory @palelight . He did do that switch inward heel, pretty surprising coming from him.

Yw🤙

He’s in that Renaud/Nate Jones/Dane Brady etc category for me. The skaters I find the most beautiful to watch skating never are footage machines

Yeah, he's kinda like that category, except he had a way longer run, 10 years at least
-
i saw his doppelgänger yesterday and my lady was like 'why are you star struck who the fuck is that supposed to be? you're always wrong about this shit'. she was right, i was incorrect but she has no idea.
PUT OUT CLIPS AO

I love AO's skating, but he was sick of skateboarding being his job before it was even his job.

Could see him on Cariuma
New balance numeric if not
-
I wish i could see more footage of alex skating casually for fun. i don't care if he films a serious part ever again. he is one of the only people i just want to see footage of anything from
-
I agree, miss those casual skating days it feels like he was in a Nike video at this point

He was really good at that point in time. He should probably go back to riding smaller boards he could probably flip his board with that much power again.
-
I just dm’d him like a man . He said no more Nike. Which is interesting given they had him pushing those blazers 6 months ago . I just wanna see the dude skate and he doesn’t come off as the type to lose all his sponsors and become more motivated. Guess we just getting yoga clips
-
He filmed a bunch for Pretty Sweet then was kind of like an Indie Skater, of Skating?

BA had that one clip on his IG recently where he does the most beautiful flatground back big spin. Looks like he scooped it like an impossible.
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.

Is it not an impossible bs 180? I could have sworn I’ve seen him breaking those out and he makes them look goood

Thought he was getting announced on Last Resort but the **** ***** turned out to be Paul Grund

Some Bianca Chandon clogs would be kinda sick

I think he's just skating regular cons in that story. Note the black pipping around the toe cap/foxing and the contrast stitching that aren't on the black simples.

(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.

No clue, I might be wrong. I think Provost does something similar in a recent Emerica video as well. Whatever it is, it's a thing of beauty.

please tell me who is behind the "new" Simples?

Also S1 mid looks perfect.
Want to get more information!
