My greatest day ever skating was back in the very early 80's at Apple in Columbus, OH (my home park)...Olson was skating the eggbowl and I was trying to impress him...I was ripping some nice ollies and when I was coming out of the pool he was just entering and he said, "You're getting some nice air there"...I couldn't believe it. It was my greatest session and I remember it like it was yesterday.

Bulky, You rip! Thanks for getting me back into slalom racing, again. You are the style master. Skater for Life. Judi O

Steve Olson...so interesting and handsome ❤

Passion is passion and it does not have an age.

There is only one Steve Olson, Icon for all times.

exactly, I'm 41 and I skate since 74, and with DxHx 50 years old still doing back flips in empty pools and ramps....

Of course it is Steve Olson.

I agree, he is the man. Thanks for your comment. Diane

Steve on a board is the definition of style.. steez for daze! :mczr:the Beat Seeker

I know where the younger one is, I chill with him, he lives in San Diego layin low

this is Steve Olsen, the one from shorty's is Steve Olson

No, his named is spelled Olson. I don't know how the other ones named is spelled, but this one is Olson.

Can yall not understand that there can be two different guys with the same name in the skateboarding world? This Steve is the legend that ranks up and skated with Hackett, Alva, and Peralta. This was even before the mid 80's jolt with skaters like Hosoi, Gator, Grabke, Hawk, Caballero, and street skaters like the Gonz, Kendall and Kaupas. Steve was one of the originals. The younger Steve was this lanky, awkward skateboarder who peaked around 97-98. Haven't heard much from him lately.

He's 44, still skates his ass off, plays sports and hey, life moves on.

@eBallo no this is a different steve olson, the shortys steve was like a hippie dude with dreds if i remember dont know what happened to him

@eBallo i think their is two Steve Olsons. I recall a Steve Olson who was much younger and nerdier looking that did some mid nineties videos to Donovan songs...

Here is what Tila Tequela said to me personally about skateboarders... "oh.. haha no offense.. but i think old people that still skate are immature :p"
