Olson of nike?

[shouldn't]

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


free max b

can we see this? not doubting you, i sincerely just wanna see it cause i thought that clip was dope.

[quackquack]

he is the best

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.

[Pemberton Steps]

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

One of the best ever IMO

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.

[dime a dozen trend skater]

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)

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.

yeah, AO is one of the greats/rarities of his generation, whether you like or not. Whether he knows it or not.

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

[zahed]

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

[pizzafliptofakie]

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.

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

[Shiro417gunpla]

Could see him on Cariuma

New balance numeric if not

[unregisteredhypercam2]

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

[lk130]

I agree, miss those casual skating days it feels like he was in a Nike video at this point

[HugeBodBoyle]

On Simple.

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.

[DCLOVE]

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

[lk130]

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
