steve olson is a skateboarder that can skate board anything. anything in front of him, steve will skate

Underrated skater. Legend

I prefer this Steve Olson

I wish I could skate during these days, you have to be hardflipping a 15 stair nowadays just to be considered a "good skater" what makes a good skater is perfecting his own style and doing what he does best

tre over handrail back in '95, sick

Wish he was born a bit later so he can be a ripper today, but at the same time, he did skate in one of the best years in skateboarding.

That fs smith at the end.. classic Olson style!

I was a Freshman in Highschool when this came out, my big brother worked at the local skate shop and brought it home, good times

This would be cool even for todays skating

mad style. one of my main inspirations when i skated.

Such a legendary part from such a legendary Video.

I sing the flute part in my head all the time. Love rolling thunder and steve.

I heard he had bad contracts and didn't honor them correctly thus pushing him into obscurity he was light years ahead of skateboarding

I got to watch him live at a contest back in the 90s and I remember he couldn't be still! During every other guys runs he'd be doing flat ground flip tricks for hrs! In his run he hucked himself off a ten foot quarter pipe deck fs flipping to flat! It was amazing.

That fakie hardflip is sick, definitely ahead of his time. His part in Fulfil the Dream is God level skating. That smith at the end is definitely ahead of its time as well. That rail was destroyed throughout Fulfill the Dream, especially by Brandon Turner, switch board and switch noseslide back in like 96-97.

This guy did frontside 360 kickflips about ten years before Lutzka. There was a sequence of it in BigBrother or Thrasher back in the day.

Steve Olson the best !!

❤️

I brought me here --- Steve Olson's awesome. Heelflip over burning bibles, enough said---

Love his style

This is probably Elissa Steamer's best part.

steve olson es leyenda !! respect

When skating was more about a lifestyle than about athletics

I’ve got this on vhs. With original sleeve.

Gen x stuck in the middle with you, Steve Olson rocked.

I've never seen rolling thunder...I think it had just came out when I started skating .(1993)

So good.

Legend

@Mikaki2 Wow I think you might be right... Coltrane's version it would seem. What an amazing catch! There was nothing specifically listed in the credits regarding this song.

no doubt, hope he makes a comeback.

"Ive just been like having a lot of like genuine like good times on my board lately...it's pretty cool"

favorite part ever

@TRBNGR666 i think it was called "Tenticles of destruction" i was looking for it 5 min. ago ! i couldnt find it.

god!! thanks for this upload!! i love this part and the tune!! btw...do you have in your files "nervous breakdown" ?? brad staba and jon west parts were totally dope!!

WAOU! ESTO SI ES UN CLASICO!

@motherscum upon further research....the video in question is actually "Super Conductor Super Collider" video

Tacoma kid ,I used to skate with him in Manitou.

This was towards the beginning of the handrail revolution.

Where is Steve Olson now?

@chubbychechu2010 This Steve Olson and the Steve Olson that is Alex Olsen's dad are two different people. This Steve Olson was the lanky (and crazy style) guy on Foundation and Shorty's.... popular in the 90s.

MAESTRO DEL SKATE !!

man, this is what i needed! are you going to post some more of his stuff? and yours??

Pioneer of flip back boardslides!!!

@Mikaki2 It is Coltrane's "Afro Blue" but it's certainly not Coltrane playing it. It seems like a group of talented street musicians. Steve Olson rips.

super conductor super collider. his entire part is in slowmo. i used to own that video back in the day @TRBNGR666

where is he now?

jonah hill sent me

mid 90's i saw a vid of Steve Olsen skating to some Donovon songs...anyone remember what video that is?

That boardslide at 1:11 looks so sick

Where is this guy? I LOVED this part ...

I need to get a skate video by the UNO for the advice

👏😎🇺🇸

Jonah brought me hurr..

@talktal i don't know about that, i think steve coulda kept up for a while....probably had a hard time picking up sponsors, or just got stoned all the time :/

Does anyone know the name of the school where he hits the bump to frontside nosegrind? Thanks.

@motherscum Wow good call bro, that was it. ill message you a link if I ever find it lol.

WT song pls Thx

0:42 Damn Vancity way back!

No, you have to be hardflipping late-shove it revert a 15 star to be considered good nowadays :-). I know a sponsored amateur (just sponsored by a shop or whatever - he's probably considered a piece of shit), who tried to do a 360 flip noseblunt slide on a handrail down a set of stairs. If you even attempted that in 1995 people would make you pro right away.

This is before concave I think lol

@bennyseaver I knew that.. but im still confused

@crackjuicer hell ya and I don't even know who alex olson is

i doubt that's true. i was skating at that time and knew who he was, but never heard of steve olson the bowl skater until alex olson made it big. but i do recall steve olson had a brother that was a pretty good skater, too. i think what happened to him is the same thing that happened to most ever pro during this era rick jarmaillo and jerry fowler... they couldnt keep up with the up and comers and faded out. @tjc0der

@1skater12 no its not.

I can't believe I'm going to say this Jonah Hill brought me here

I think he lives in a cave somewhere now.

is he the father of alex olson?

@chubbychechu2010 no the same steve olson fool

He's a super odd cat. I'm guessing too many psychedelics
