@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.
@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.
OMG I havent seen this since it came out. As soon as I heard the first note of the song play, I remembered the music.....Thumbs up if the best skate days of your life were the 90's ↑
olson was really busting fatty kickflips and shit on stairs earlier than most....he has soo many sick photos in the black panther and shortys ads of the 97 era of skating...if i had to make a list of pros he would be on my list of radest dudes....last footy ive seen was in the satori flicks.
@TranSOMfilms no his dad is the other steve olson an old school skater, its wierd that we have 2 steve olsons 1 who rides for santa cruz and the other for foundation and shortys.
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!!
It's obviously not the old school Steve Olson, this one was on Shortys for a really long time.
There is a bit of irony with this guy's story. Most people don't talk about it, but years back this guy was actually strong armed, and his sponsors got threats because it was interfering with the older guy's marketing or something. Of course nobody will admit to this, and it's actually a subject most of the industry avoids because it's bad for business.
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
@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 :/
i don't believe this is the same steve olson that i know of now (alex olson's dad). if so, wow he was fucking insane! and if it is, then alex olson's his comeback.
where did this guy go?

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.

to everyone that's retarded, there are two skateboarding Steve Olsons. One is from the 70s, and this Steve Olson is from the mid 90s.
They are totally different ages, and look totally different, so those are your clues.
