This dude was gnarly. He didn't care how anyone else skated and was just unafraid, in his own world.

Steve Olson skated at my high school once. He did a 180 to nosegrind on a super high ledge down 9 stairs. You want Pics? It was on the cover of transworld like 15 years ago. Super epic skate moment of my youth. Thanks Steve!

Damn. For any of you who remember this shit as a vhs tape, I got one thing to say. This video was the shit back in the day. We're old now guys hahaha.

Nollie inward heel at the beginning is money 💰. Seen this video at least 1000 times! 36 now. These youngsters don’t know what it was like rewinding on a vhs player. I’d take growing up in my time then now any day of the week. Everything meant more back then. Still watch this to remember even though I haven’t skated in a long time.

man the shortys team was the best days skateboarding ever saw. those times are over. atleast we still have the footage.

Thanks lizard your broke my ears

Steve Olson was my favorite part as a kid watching vids

I'm here 10 years later still loving it

its crazy steve actually works in my local skateshop now up here in washington state. he moved back home after skateboarding and got a regular job at the shop and when i found out it was him the first time i had to get him to sign my new deck i just bought. dude is too sick and shoutout to lizard king too for remembering this part! too dope!!!

I was Growing up in PB and mission beach and was 12 when this video dropped. Muska was already a hero to us by then (and who could forget Rosa). Seeing kids not much older than me in an actual pro skate video was mind blowing and so inspirational. Thanks for the memories boys.

I used to watched this video of Steve before I went to skateboarding, Watching him gave me so power to try to sick tricks.

That track was when I was into punk but that shit still was sick to me. I'd watch the VHS sometimes just to hear that track and now I'm a huge hip hop head.. Still one of the best tracks out there in my opinion.

4:35 that's gotta b one of the best frontside flips of all time.

Seriously probably my favorite skater of all time. Watching this is like a psychedelic experience every time; totally mesmerizing. The tunes are a trip, too. Such a rad style, but insane skills at the same time. There's still something very familiar in the way he skates, something like a lot of random kids I've skated with over the years back in the day; watching it really brings me back to when I first started and skating was so fresh and totally saved my life.

that f/s flip @3:40 was and is mental!

Above the clouds- gang Starr

This video went platinum in my neighborhood.

Stone cold Steve Olson the goat 🐐 👌

This part/whole video was ahead of its time, brings back lots of nostalgia.

Steezy sketch style with the Gravediggaz playin is OP🤘😈

I watched that line at minute 3:47 at least five times. Thats as 90s as it gets. Thank you Steve !!!!

The fs flip to lipslide in the Park is insane ❤❤❤ Where are you Steve? One of the greatest street skater of all time....

This is my favorite part ever

very articulate and analytical skateboarder. a true master of board management.

Seeing this part I remember that I had the "Fullfill the Dream" tape back in the days. Steve Olson was great. Truly outstanding among a crowd of only exceptional skateboarders.

The ended was amazing!

One of the best - great song and part. Still have the VHS!

That’s the soul of skateboarding.

This deserves so much more recognition

This the first skate I ever had, an the music, skate styles, is the pure definition of why I started in the first place, I would give anything to be able to go back to that point of my life

@2:43 That sound crept into my head randomly like 3 months ago and I couldn't remember where I heard it from.

this takes me wayyyyy back !!!!! shits got pop !!!!

2019. Still dope.

Sick vid, makes me feel fucking old that this is now classed as classic...

one of my favs from the 90s

Really unique skater, no sure will see another of his kind.

I remember having steve olsons wrestling style board with the 2 frozen dudes. I was obsessed with shortys... Great vid. Lizard, your awesome.

One of my favorite skateboarders and one of my favorite MCs

oh my god that roof drop into boardslide was amazing !!!!!!!!!!!

I remember skating with my friends in PB back in 2003 and I saw Steve Olson walking down the street returning his stuff from Blockbuster. I also saw him at the Pac Drive Demo around that same year. He skated for maybe 20 minutes, said hi to some people then hopped over the wall and dipped.

first video i ever bought.. $50 for the vhs and it was well worth it. this and smolik's part are my two all time favourites.

i just watched my VHS copy last week and now i get to watch steve Oilson's part again. Awesome

I went to school with Steve Olson in middle school. Gray Middle school South Tacoma Way. He was rad then and got better than I ever could of imagined, as did the sport of skateboarding. I unfortunately quit skating and was at the cusp of all the super technical tricks. WOW. I seen him about 5 years ago working at a skateboard shop in Puyallup, owned by Seth. I guess he has quit skating but even from footage I have seen of the sport, these days, he was still up in the ranks. Even if a bit underground. He didn't really care about the fuss and the fashion. He just loved skateboarding all out. It is expected that he would get sponsored though and strut his stuff since he was that good. Peace

ONE OF MY FAVOURITE PARTS YESSSSSS

Line at 3:47 was so amazing. Made me wanna learn how to big flip

awesome! this video part is what got me into skateboarding! one of the best videos of all time.

So dope. Unique skating style

We would watch this right before we would hit up a spot just for motivation...his part was literally the best!

3:47 one of the sickest lines ive ever seen .so clean and it was in 1998!

Part still gets me hyped, soo raw.

love to watch steve skate amazing person as well grave diggaz style all that so dope

love these old vids !

This and the old 411VM tapes were a big part of why I stared skating. Exceptionally talented team

This... This is why I started skating back in the day, not only for Steve Olson's part but for everybody in this great classic. I remeber my first deck was a Peter Smolik's Shorty's rollin deck. Also can't forget a pair of Circa CM901's Muska what?! lol

Steve is a wonder like seeing old skate spots and this guy doing what he does legendary stuff

This guy was like the American Tom Penny: nobody gave him a shoe, he wasn't the star of the team, but he had dope style and unmatched flow. That kickflip lipslide near the beginning is fucking dope.

I can still feel that Slam every time I watch it

this is what started my love of hiphop. it must be 15 years since me and a few gots a lend of this on VHS of a guy in our local skate shop

This was and IS the SHIT! I watched this so many times back in the day! Makes me want to cry. Steve Olson- so gnarly!

Great to see those old vids. That's the stuff I grew up on =D

hes def the most gnarly and cool skater ive ever seen in my life

killin it. ace style.

Dope music and part

Way ahead of his time, and he did skate everything. So good!

the first song is gangstarr- above the clouds and the second song is grave diggaz- diary of a mad man

such a BEAST!!

I remember getting fulfill the dream on VHS when it was new for my birthday.

He had really wacky mag full pages in the 90s where he'd be doing technical stuff on big mountain rocks and stuff.. He did a switch 360 flip over a big set in Santa Barbara too that was full page.. He isn't a nerd or awkward he hung out at a lot of parties and stuff..

Gang star and an amazing method man verse

He was the kinda dude that was cool even if he wasn't skating. Very good human being .😊

Had that shorties video.. Steves song choice "above the clouds" classic.. Gravediggaz also

so much style.

Used to skate with him in Tacoma Wa. He had a mini ramp in his front yard in Manitou,back in the day.

SO SICK

anything that came out on VHS is now surely classic lol

that was sick!

So good

One of the craziest parts I've witnessed with my two eyes. Even in today's standards.

He was very good in his times.

so many crazy tricks in this part

Killer part even more killer song!

Best music in the backround!!! Damn...

so sick

Steve Olson gave me a couple of his old skateboard decks when we used to skate back in pacific beach never got rid of. this is the board he rides in this video the one with the green star on grip... I got stories...

Steve Olson is nuts!

old school that is my era !!!

TRUE classic.. i love his style sloppy yet so much steeze!!

killer style - i like that he looks like he's riding switch when he's not - gravediggaz !

My brother and legend!

Crazy mann!!!!!!

R.I.P. Guru

steve olsen is the shit . my first board back in '02 was an olsen board

SICK!

This Guy was really good.

F*cking awesome hear Gang Starr in a skate video.

4:17 thats honestly the scariest thing in this entire video. crazy he did that at what looks a young kid. thats balls right there

this is sick.

Lizard is geekin !

Remember being like 10 years old and seeing that boardslide with the drop in from the roof @4:17 in a transworld magazine and thinking that must be fake or something. It was SO mental to see that sequence. That something like that was even possible to do. This was just before this vid came out.

exciting skater to watch !
