I love this dude, but sometimes he's just way too self-defeating. If you watch his interviews, he's really insecure and unconfident about his abilities, his appearance [partly due to the fact that he gets compared to Dylan ALL the time], and overall he seems pessimistic. BUT I think this is what makes him so great. He's opionated while being able to think outside the box, find happiness in depression, and his self doubt actually leads him to challenge himself sometimes. I can relate to guys like Alex and to some degree Dylan and Austyn much better than the "blockbuster" pros.
Interesting comment. Before watching this I'd never really seen him interviewed but just his skating appeals to me. His trick selection is somehow classic, and he does it all with apparently flowing energy. He doesn't do ugly shit.
Rufusdos Yeah AO has that natural style. If you like his style of skating, you most likely like Ishod Wair's style and Dylan Rieder's style. Ishod is all about that effortless flow while Dylan has that pop and edgyness. AO got both of them.
No he is actually overly confident imo. Wants to make himself the way you have addressed him (What confident Beta males do). He loves himself, and its brutally obvious... Very pretentious and wants to different in odd ways. Also doesnt help that his dad is a famous pro skater...
one of my fav skaters but he is actually very confident and narcissist. very obvious in previous interviews. he likes to pull the wannabe Beta card because he is an Alpha that is a "special snowflake" aka hipster .. still love his skating tho...
i like watching his interviews so much because when i watch his skating it makes him seem immortal to me but then you hear him talk and he's just this normal dorky guy and it's great
4 parts in a year got you stressin? nigga if you were granted eternal life my grand children's grand children wouldn't live to see a part of yours drop
so far we've seen alex the girl pro, alex the pro, alex the child prodigy, alex the DJ, alex the company owner, alex the surfer, alex the New york hipster, alex the hippie, and now idk what the hell hes doing. this dudes been through so many phases and has an interview for all of them lol
He talks more New York, now, but I know he's still got plenty of CA in him by the way he replaces "said" with "was like"... Growing pains Olson, growing pains. Last night the DJ saved his life.
Isle Skateboards got his away of looking at the pro models before. Now Isle boards do not come with a graphic and a name on it; but is written on the top layer and looks great in every way. Great boards as well.

Dang i wish alex the best. It seems like skateboarding weighs on him but it's still probably fun when there is no pressure. I think he is mad dope though!!
I'm sure he regrets leaving girl sometimes or in ways but when you do think about it now a days having a pro model is kind of dumb because you could just screen print your own board with your fucking name on it.
alex olson is so beast i want to be his homie one day.
Beast
Swag
You're already his homie, homie.
Are you his homie yet
@@gio-mz3ty he's had 6 years to make friends
Alex Olson will forever be the pissed off older brother type
James Bond lmao i felt that
I feel like every time he talks, he's talking to his therapist.
ALex Olson is so real thats what makes him amazing and he's a beast skater!
BLST Grim D dont say beast

his outlooks on pro boards is pretty truee
It’s interesting the way his social anxiety, vanity, narcissism play off each other. It’s actually kind of endearing.
its annoying tbh
@@drinkingpoolwater lol
one of those skaters you can really look up to
i can't believe alex olson never thought he was good enough to have a pro board dude he kills it all the time!
Yeah homie you are a beast Alex!
Finally a real day in life!
i like watching his interviews so much because when i watch his skating it makes him seem immortal to me but then you hear him talk and he's just this normal dorky guy and it's great

He doesn't even film uh part in one year.
its not a sport, its art....someone who draws cartoons and someone who draws murals can be just as famous, just as good...eye of the beholder

he’s a dad now
@@planetchopurcockoff lol sick, alex olson the dad. new chapter. interview coming soon.
A.O is sick!
For anyone wondering the intro song is "Swamp thing" by the chameleons. It's Fucking increible and that song has just changed my life
How?
I Like olson cuz he's not trying to follow any trend, he just doing him
He talks more New York, now, but I know he's still got plenty of CA in him by the way he replaces "said" with "was like"...
Growing pains Olson, growing pains.
Last night the DJ saved his life.
I always liked his skating, hopefully he comes back to the game or post up some vids.
dang he has an OP-1, always wanted one.
To all
People

That song definitely sounds like he made it in Portland
Matthebonn vonbon sounds nice tho
It's the chameleons and a song from the 80s
@@RavenWillliams Corey Duffel has it in one of his parts and it fits really really well
2014 seems like a life time ago
Why did he cover up the size sticker on the deck? Odd.
YeahBoardshop cause the sticker was reflective
homie should be sponsored by monster energy he is fucking beast!
i met alex olson at stoner park dude was chill and hes absolutly right anti hero makes the best shapes same with krooked
"not that they are bad or anything. I just dont fuck with them.." LOL I love Alex
Jenkem is where it’s at !
The song he made in oregon reminded me a lot of the cure, would love a full version or just that cut.
Me and olson are the same age and I actually understood him. I thought he'd be WWAYYY different. lol - He's just a regular guy.
Need more people like him in the industry
This nigga be lookin like Solid Snake/Big Boss
why'd he cover up the size sticker?
what a beast skater
he has a rotary mixer ! :O !!! and a lot of cool instruments !!!
If Alex Olson had a son and named him Alex his name would be Alex Olson too
anyone know the name of the song that is played at the very end of the video on the vinyl?
I really want to hear a full version of the song he made in Oregon.

Nice Choice Mr. Olson
This was obnoxious
Dang i wish alex the best. It seems like skateboarding weighs on him but it's still probably fun when there is no pressure. I think he is mad dope though!!
What a trill beast. Absolute legend.
This video is beast
abc yeah homie
good skater, a little pretentious ...
He is so true!
enjoyed this
alex olson is sooo beast
This guys like my favourite skater and it almost seems like he's bummed about his skating
3:40 vibed with him so much on that hahaha
what’s that guitar funk sample at 4:29 i’ve heard it before
He's dope
Alex is so "alternative"...it. ould come off try hard but i think theres a charm about his self doubt and modesty....he's like an anti-skate hero
Does anybody know the song that he plays on record at the end? Not the credit-song, but the 'uh uh oh oh oh' one at circa 6:17
Thanks!
New York Edits Side B
Love you
Okay what is the closing credits song jenkemmag or anybody ?!
Rad video on olson btw, I didnt know he was a synthesizer type of guy.
+lucidstranger Swamp Thing - The Chameleons
so many Honda Elements, I agree with "beast" but I hate "skillage" more.
R.I.P. Dylan
im pretty sure i have the same undershirt, the blue one with little circle designs
Anybody know what speakers those are?
Alex Olson is rad I didn't kno he was off girl and on anti hero I think it fits!
He's not on Anti Hero, He's making his own board company and just rides Anti Hero boards right now.
couldnt see his torso this whole time.. anyone else?
❤️❤️❤️
Cool interview - I caught some humility in there, so I like him more
Why does he cover up the size of those boards
I expect to see some skating clips
It's okay Alex, I just turned 28 a few days ago.
sick
alex likes to supplement 4:14
that mg partial rolling regiment
what kind of synth is that?
Anyone know what or where to get the hat he is wearing?
bianca chandon
"beast" and "homie" haha.
song at 6:17?
New York Edits Side B
*Every Williamsburg hipster*
He doesn't drink? Props.
Alex is sick
I'm sure he regrets leaving girl sometimes or in ways but when you do think about it now a days having a pro model is kind of dumb because you could just screen print your own board with your fucking name on it.
a olson doesn't drink at all - or doesn't drink with creeps?
he has the OP-1!!!
tell me about it :)
make a yaje popson next
song at the end?
Read the credits?
Mat CYSTM nah that's the song at the beginning I want the name of the song he plays on the record
ANYONE KNOW WHAT VINYL PLAYER HE HAS?
+THEVOLCOM PAT technics s1200 mkII i believe, dj industry standard :)
Anyone knows the song at the beggining please?
get Dylan on here
+j acob i dont think that would happen, it seems like the dude really dislikes being public about his life.
Comment caught me off guard for a second until I saw the post date.
Why does he always talk about the 80's?
Op1👾♒️👽✌️️
whattup taji
He's such a spaz.
Can you relate?
@@AskYaMommyBoutMeBoi maybe sometimes but usually I'm pretty chill 😌
@@the6ig6adwolf on the outside
@@AskYaMommyBoutMeBoi its what's on the outside that counts 😉
0:25 that front door is rad
harshly right
i own that record he played haha
I had the same thoughts I did the same thing as you got your girl board and kept getting them once I got better and understands we I went to anti hero
Dylan always wins ❤️
Alex olson was so sad
you dont know him
The chameleons...
Love this dude. Vegan too, right?
Ya think so
the chameleons is good (y)
WHy did he quit the best board company ever?
Ever? Ya no...
