How can you guys constantly shit on Alex Olson and how his skating “declined” from kid to adult - but still worship Heath Kirchart? Give the dude a break maybe he just didn’t give a fuck anymore either?

[close]

Well for starters.... Name one memorable part. And how dare you even compare the two in any way shape, form, or fashion. AO will never be has handsome or memorable as KH. Even graphic wise. lol

Kenny Hoyle?

Alex is sick

He's streets ahead of anyone in this vid.

how dare you compare Alex Olson to Keith Hirchart

[zoidberg]

I think that the majority of people do really like him but find it incredibly frustrating when its clear that he has a lot of leftover potential.

And if we're entertaining this weird comparison; Heath quit having peaked yet Alex seemed to give up rather than leave with his integrity.

[urbneathme]

i don’t get the heath comparison. i feel like AO is more comparable to Rickk. both have some prime years lost to business and outside interest

[Big Baby Jesus]

Always liked AO. Even more so since he posted the FA talent scout business card.

[thefriscokid]

AO is legend status to me, one of my all time favorite styles and bag of tricks.
The Fully flared part was my favorite , really dont understand the hate.
Maybe 917 isn't the most cohesive but I appreciate their lack of manifest destiny and corporate cancerous growth

[GauchoAmigo]

You guys remember when AO asserted his dominance to that overweight tourist in cherry. That shit was so HELLRIDE!

Lol'd. AO is great but that kookery was too much, he got -rep for that

that last line was like his career: starts amazing, looks like he's stopped, keeps going but obviously lacks a cohesive plan, still nails it, decides to stop before he fucks up despite looking like he can do no wrong at that point

He even failed by running into a tree. So you are absolutely right.

[Rasmus]

Slightly off-topic, but I Alex was hanging out in Copenhagen after the contest for some weeks two years ago, and it surprised me how small he is. He could be a jockey!

Love Alex - he's like Stevie Williams, hsu, puleo, and tyshawn in that he just looks great on a skateboard. He doesn't have to do gnarly stuff to get me stoked!

[SLAPASONIC]

Even if you hate on AO, you have to agree he has the best style when he’s skating at his best.

Swoosh will be amazing 10 or 20 years from now, that ending line has to be my favorite of all time. His Pretty Sweet part was also pretty sweet.

[Ilya Oblomov]

Swoosh...something something...Bobby Worrest...something something...

[BroBruhBra]

Gonna say it, if you don't like it send it on back.... but AO was the hottest member of Team Handsome.

Dude so true. I sat across from him on the subway a few years ago and I was totally tripping out. “Is that really AO? Is he really that tiny?” Complete manlet dimensions.

[EastKremer]

He is doing good, dropping his music, the team is very great and diverse ,917 videos are cool, the music is on point and some of the graphics too
Let this man chill and handle his business as he wants
But yeah I wish they drop more short edits of footage
And btw Cyrus part in 917 2 is sooo sick damn I can’t hate

Have you not seen many pros in person? They are almost all short. The jockey and manlet reactions surprise me though. He doesn't seem to be the smallest guy in the photo. Pretty average height, for a pro skater...

I'm 6'1" and once helped Kerry Getz at the counter of a bagel store I worked at across the street from Nocturnal and was shocked at how short he was. Also shocked that he wasn't screaming and dismantling the counter.

[sometimeperhaps]

Kerry Getz screamed his way through his career. I could definitely see him freaking out about a mistake on his bagel.

The small skater thing is pretty true. That kinda stuff is just easier when your shorter. I’m 6’4” which I used as an excuse to myself as to why I suck at skating. It also makes me respect big bois like BA for looking good on a board. Hajalte looks like a big boo too.

I've seen others and noted that the average height is pretty short, but AO caught me off guard. I think the whole 'team handsome' thing made me assume he was tall like Dylan. The power of marketing...

Anyway I'm sure AO can pull hotties like nobody's business, so my dismissive remarks are 100% coping mechanism, I'm not ashamed to admit it

[Lenny the Fatface]

The height doesn’t trip me out as much as how skinny most pros are in person.

he's taller?

[Panettone]

I thought Dylan was short ?

[COMMUNITYPACK]

Short = low center of gravity = good balance = good at skateboarding.

It's crazy how surprised people still get in 2020 that pro skateboarders are tiny.

Wait til you guys see how tall professional basketball players are... It's gonna blow your mind that they even fit on a TV screen!

Ok so if they are all small... Who is in the big boi crew ? BA of course. Who else ? Kitchart ?

I know your just trying to get a rise out of people because your super bored....but damnit. It worked.

[Larry Sportello]

I saw him at a party once, I'm pretty short at 5'8" and was shocked how small he was. He honestly didn't seem that much taller than me.

[Double Thick Filbert]

I'm a fan but I don't think he has never done a hammer in his life and seems like a whiny poosey. I'm still buying whatever he is selling though

[pugmaster]

Arto, figgy, and and Garrett hill are all tall af.
