Fuck yea man! I remember watching this, among other skate vids, in the morning while smoking some weed before we went out to skate for the whole day. I had no idea at the time that I was living some of the best days of my life.
Dude i remember i had to save quarters and dimes in order to have enough to buy this...i bussed it to the skate shop and it was the best day of my life. Me and the homies would watch this everyday...ur right we’re old now 💯 much love from Los Angeles my boy 🙏🏻
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.
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!
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!!!
Thanks. I have been trying to find what happen to him, but searching for "Steve Olson skateboard" usually gets you the Old School Steve Olson, not Shorty's Steve Olson!
@@ufotofu9 As I understand it, he basically was over the skate industry and moved on, but still skates and is at least a little bit involved in the scene. He makes hip hop now. There is some here on RU-vid. He goes by Crazy Monk.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Are there two skateboarding Steve Olson's? Somebody posted Fullfill the Dream and I wondered whatever happened to this guy, but when I looked him up, a 58 year old Steve Olson comes up, so it can't be the same guy. He would have been 36 when he skated in this so I know that can't be right.
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
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.
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
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
I never saw this video back then. But liked watching him skate in other videos . Others would be like why you like him , because of some of the landings and roll aways . This one looks clean
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..
Where the hell you people been? This Steve Olsen was pretty fuckin' amazing. I can tell this has to be a newer generation of skateboarders who are trying to get cred by mentioning the old Steve Olsen but probably have never seen a video of his. Strange world we live in.
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...
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.
This is not Alex Olson's dad...seriously they are like eleven years in age difference Steve was19 in like 95, actually nit even that much Alex was19 in like 04 or 05... that Steven Olson skated in the Tony Alva era
Draconic Void No it isn't... The one you're thanking about is a 70s skater. He's like 50 now, still ripping bowls though. This Steve Olson doesn't skate anymore and raps. His rap name is crazy monk disciple. Check him out on facebook. He's cool with everyone and will even talk with you.
This one isn't from '98 he was a pro at least as early as '92. He went to CA in the 80s from GA and started skating with other people on teams.. His career basically lasted the entirety of the "house party" era of skating.. I still have his Foundation and Shorty's decks and all his Kastel models in storage I'll sale for the right price..
@2:54, That's Skater Island in Rhode Island! I was there on September 3rd or 4th 2001 when Tony Hawk came to promote THPS 3! It changed ownership a few times and it's no longer the relic it once was.
Fullfill the dream was what got me really into skateboarding. I bought cm902s, shortys decks. I think my favorite shortys deck had to be my Peter smolik rolling dice with the cop in the background eating a doughnut. The graphics were just so awesome. I wish I would have saved that deck. I miss it lol.
I love the skating and the music. I was in CA in '98 I left [the weekend] before 'Fulfill the Dream" premiered, I was only there 5 days. But I saw the flyers for it at skateshops [down there] [Amazing] skating by Steve Olson {such a unique style} [Amazing] song by Gangstarr {Rip} Enjoy this great part from Shorty's 1st video, released in Summer 1998 > begins here 0:35< at [1:44] Gangstarr says "disaster" at the same time Olson does a disaster stall/slide {that is awesome} There's subliminal messages [that I thought were cool] did you see them? [1:51]"Mass" [1:55] 'Mind" [1:59]"Control" {so awesome}
