Paul Alexander

Do not know much about this guy but the documentary, a few random pics and vids. Dude was awesome on a board. Was wondering who he skated for in his time? Boards, trucks, shoes etc. Thanks

not sure on boards etc but im pretty sure he was on osiris at one point? sure theres footage of him on an osiris tour at lloyds.

He wasn’t as heavily hooked up as his talent deserved- Minute boards, Osiris and 50:50 skate shop as far as I’m aware.

Really good guy - friendly as - and obviously amazing on a board. Years ago I ollied a reasonable street gap  and was stoked for all of 5 mins until he casually frontside flipped it. He, of course, didn’t give a shit - to him it was just a trick, a smoke and onto the next spot with another bit of folklore made

His brother, Steve, is a really good skater - flip nose blunts etc and also a great guy - but Paul was on another level to most people

Alexander, Carter and Shier - the UK sure had some talented Pauls. Carter's story is similar to Amexander's. Glad we still see snippets of Shier every once in a while.

Funnily enough Karta and Paul Alexander skated together all the time and were great mates. Grew up with Karta - nothing but love for that guy. He did me a great favour; I knew not to take skating too seriously from the first moment I saw him skate, as I knew there was another level which I’d never reach.

I knew that somehow - probably Karta speaking about Paul Alexander when he lived in Vancouver. I think Paul.A may have even visited too, as he looks really familiar. Not sure though.

Thanks for the info guys, guys skating is sick

Always wondered too - I rode for Minute for a short while, had a few Sidewalk ads but then quit, so never got to meet the guy. Such a sad story, seemed to be a great skateboarder.

It is a sad story, and was really sudden. Flick of a switch, and could happen to anyone - particularly with the amount everyone smoked. A few of us were probably really lucky.

He was a great guy, fun cool nice and humble. And yes his skating stood out a mile - power and Steeze. People would stop and just watch him skate flat - it was art.
