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!
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 🙏🏻
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 RUclips. 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.
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
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.
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
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.
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..
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
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.
Who remembers chillin with your homies and watching the latest 90s VHS skate tapes, getting stoked, then heading out for a video session. Point of this comment: name your top three fav skate VHS's! This and Birdhouse The End and sooooo many others, what a time to be a skater.
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...
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
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.
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.

facts this video changed my life
I'm 35 now. I started skating in 1999 and this was the first video I watched. Steve's part was my favorite.
@@axis2010 that’s sick. I’m 39 . Steve is the best hands down. The American version of Tom Penny.

I tore that cover off and taped it to my wall when I was about 14.
23 years ago now .... Sheesh time where did it go?
man the shortys team was the best days skateboarding ever saw. those times are over. atleast we still have the footage.
matisyahup613 indeed
80s were better dude. gaps and rails pretty much killed skating as far as i'm concerned
@@jaredgenesis6255 why was 80s better?
@@jaredgenesis6255 why cause you can't skate them. Gaps and rails made it gnarly. Tf you talking about
Shalom, my friend.
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.
+RibR0a5t fuck yea bro we used to watch this/rewind/fast forward every night before passing out.. or the blind video
I used to watch this shit, crush a can of coke, and go hard for a few hours in my town. This was my hype vid.

boy 🙏🏻
I had a bootleg VHS of this video😅
This dude was gnarly. He didn't care how anyone else skated and was just unafraid, in his own world.
4:35 that's gotta b one of the best frontside flips of all time.
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!!!
Aurteekay what shop? 35th north?
Where is the shop
He's talking about All A Board in Puyallup.

What's the song called? It sounds awesome
Steve Olson was my favorite part as a kid watching vids
Thanks lizard your broke my ears
My dog and cats are trippin after that 😅
I used to watched this video of Steve before I went to skateboarding, Watching him gave me so power to try to sick tricks.
Saved my knees.
I'm here 10 years later still loving it
This video went platinum in my neighborhood.
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.

Above the clouds- gang Starr
+Neph rip guru
Ft. Inspectah Deck
Most underrated hip hop act ever gang start was great. Did it with a message
No doubt... Above the clouds was my calling to hip hop before i knew i would be a hip hop head.. Then it was Dilated Peoples platform.. 1999 shit
The whole soundtrack to it 🔥🔥🔥
that f/s flip @3:40 was and is mental!
One of the best - great song and part. Still have the VHS!
This part/whole video was ahead of its time, brings back lots of nostalgia.

Huh?

very articulate and analytical skateboarder. a true master of board management.
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 !!!!
This is my favorite part ever
@2:43 That sound crept into my head randomly like 3 months ago and I couldn't remember where I heard it from.
Doctor Dollars lmao
The ended was amazing!
2019. Still dope.
2021. How was Corona for you?
@@salvadorreyes1337 no corona in New Zealand. Lol
Stone cold Steve Olson the goat 🐐 👌
Sick vid, makes me feel fucking old that this is now classed as classic...
I bet you can still tre flip?
love to watch steve skate amazing person as well grave diggaz style all that so dope
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
this takes me wayyyyy back !!!!! shits got pop !!!!
3:47 one of the sickest lines ive ever seen .so clean and it was in 1998!
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.
Wit inflation that would be $400 today 😅
Really unique skater, no sure will see another of his kind.
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.
NeuralNetProcessor I wouldn't say that personally. Way too different styles. But both are sick nonetheless
Fun fact, KASTEL gave him a shoe. I pushed in the Navajo colored ones.
@@williamcoley1264 oh snap I didn't know that
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..
one of my favs from the 90s
That’s the soul of skateboarding.
hes def the most gnarly and cool skater ive ever seen in my life
Had the pleasure of skating with him once in about 95. He was smooth. He small was skinnnny lanky. He was awkward. …but he ripped!!
@@christophersawyer253 you’re the luckiest man on earth
Line at 3:47 was so amazing. Made me wanna learn how to big flip
So dope. Unique skating style
I remember having steve olsons wrestling style board with the 2 frozen dudes. I was obsessed with shortys... Great vid. Lizard, your awesome.

Had that shorties video.. Steves song choice "above the clouds" classic.. Gravediggaz also
Gravediggaz
the first song is gangstarr- above the clouds and the second song is grave diggaz- diary of a mad man
3:25.......Kastel shoes shirt. Short lived but pretty good shoes
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
oh my god that roof drop into boardslide was amazing !!!!!!!!!!!
One of my favorite skateboarders and one of my favorite MCs
The fs flip to lipslide in the Park is insane ❤❤❤
Where are you Steve?
One of the greatest street skater of all time....
This and the old 411VM tapes were a big part of why I stared skating. Exceptionally talented team
killin it. ace style.
Fuck yeah! \m/
This deserves so much more recognition
Dope music and part
We would watch this right before we would hit up a spot just for motivation...his part was literally the best!
He was the kinda dude that was cool even if he wasn't skating. Very good human being .😊
Gang star and an amazing method man verse

killer style - i like that he looks like he's riding switch when he's not - gravediggaz !
He was very good in his times.
Who remembers chillin with your homies and watching the latest 90s VHS skate tapes, getting stoked, then heading out for a video session.
Point of this comment: name your top three fav skate VHS's! This and Birdhouse The End and sooooo many others, what a time to be a skater.
Hokus Pokus, Questionable, Modus Operandi =//= Yesh Right.
ONE OF MY FAVOURITE PARTS YESSSSSS
Used to skate with him in Tacoma Wa. He had a mini ramp in his front yard in Manitou,back in the day.
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
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...
Guru is the best MC ever. Great song Gangstar 4 life
Killer part even more killer song!
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
i just watched my VHS copy last week and now i get to watch steve Oilson's part again. Awesome
I can still feel that Slam every time I watch it
Steve is a wonder like seeing old skate spots and this guy doing what he does legendary stuff
One of the craziest parts I've witnessed with my two eyes. Even in today's standards.
So good
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!
steve olsen is the shit . my first board back in '02 was an olsen board
anything that came out on VHS is now surely classic lol
Part still gets me hyped, soo raw.
Donovan Strain from Philly brought me here he brought back the old skateboarding memories with music by gangstarr n the gravediggas. H.N.I.C shi
F*cking awesome hear Gang Starr in a skate video.
This Guy was really good.
Way ahead of his time, and he did skate everything. So good!
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
I remember getting fulfill the dream on VHS when it was new for my birthday.
Shit dope . Rip Guru this shit take me back
SO SICK
Great to see those old vids. That's the stuff I grew up on =D
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.
Dude I bought the video in 1998 and watched it stoned and drunk like a ritual 100 times when I was 19. Chad muskas part is sick.
Lizard is geekin !
R.I.P. Guru
way ahead of his time
this is sick.
one of the first people to kickflip into boardslides on sketchy rails/hubas. This was late 90's, kids.
i definitely learned kf frnt board shuv out after i watched this part way back when
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.

so much style.
so sick
Best music in the backround!!! Damn...
awesome! this video part is what got me into skateboarding! one of the best videos of all time.
