yes! I landed on Olsons IG this morning and was thinking man.. I miss Olson footy.. low and behold I see this 24 minute beauty
These pieces are phenomenal! Please keep at them
Sooo hyped to see more Alex Olson coverage
This was SO good!! I love that Alex did the music too
I like these out there series. Should keep doing them
Even watching him talk about all his projects and time management is stressing me out! Though It seems he is able to channel that anxiety into his creative output to great effect. Glad to see he is doing yoga and breathing exercises to manage that side of himself. Wish him luck and longevity in all his endeavours.
Be Obsessed or Be Average! Alex you are a true inspiration. Thank you 🙏
Alex is my favorite skateboarder. This was a great interview. I hope he comes out with more footage.
Really don’t stress “getting good” at making music because the journey there is the ocean of creativity. 20 years from now, you’ll cruise to this tune and realize how perfect it was all this time. The lost sessions are the most charming. Thanks for sharing your heart, history, and creativity with us. Very inspirational. We need more skateboarders to promote mental/physical wellness.

Alex really doesn't like getting sick huh he even mentions hating getting sick on the crail couch
To my eye, his footage is always perfect.
Love to see he’s still exploring and ripping!
When skating finally drops the whole image thing, it'll go to a new level not thought of yet.
He needs a manager to deal with all the logistics so he can focus on being creative. He is a special soul. 💖
So basically this is filling the shoes of what epicly laterd used to be pre vice. I ain't mad at it though.

THEY OWE!!!!!!! Olsen, when does the album drop?
Despite all his success and the fact that his Dad was also a pro skater, Alex seems quite down to earth. I lived in Bali for a while and that breathing is v popular there. Good to see him doing well still, one of my fav parts in Fully Flared back in the day (my first time I saw him)
great to see this! love the tunes Alex!
I took a nap and had a dream about hanging out with Alex and Steve and then I woke up and this was out. Psychic link confirmed
Nice smooth music Alex!👍✨
Inspirational af. Music on point as well.
Always admired his career and outlook on it. Still remember him shredding that mini-ramp on Epicly Later’d
One of my favorite styles in skateboarding history
917 keeps me GOIN! Thx Alex
Happy to see Alex Olson content
Fuck I literally dropped my whole life to watch this as soon as I saw it posted ! Biggest fan Alex, don’t doubt your abilities brother you’re amazing. X
Alex is one of a kind and I love that about him. His music sounds sick too
I got my first complete at Rip City too. Toy Machine Devil Cat with Grind Kings, Bones, and these cool green wheels. I loved the woody smell of skate shops.
He didn't want to get sick but his floors dirty as hell
This would be similar to my lifestyle if I didn't have to work a 9-5 to barely pay bills.

Rubbish heap was my first skate vid too . Such a memorable video
Yes! Rad style, one of my favorites to just watch ollie far and fast!
Been waiting for this.... Olson is a character man.
I really relate here. Ive been writing rap lyrics, poems, since i was about 14, had ableton since i was 17, been making and sharing some tunes the past year. I really wish to channel all my energy into this. But i love skateboarding so much. I felt like I needed a break and i stopped a couple weeks ago and I really miss it. Don't know. Maybe I could do both passions and make it work. Or maybe I cant. One always take away from the other.
Another solid ep!!

"Some people skate table" the fact that people have that type of "standard pop" is wild..This guy is living his best life, Let's go!
So this is what was keeping him from running 917 properly
amazing style. reminds me of a Reese Forbes and Julien Stranger.
this looks quite healthier in comparison to these skate movies where you always see skater smooking weed, drinking beer and yowling around ...
He’s is the earths hidden skateboard species but whatever knowledge and style we get to see we love that shit love Olson for life
busted out the parts for a 3 band iso and you just know this dude cool af

Music sounding really good !

He basically is riding the fame of his youth. After the whole team handsome thing, his ego shot through the roof for no real reason. He hasn't done anything since girl and yet still gets all this love from "core" skateboarding for whatever reason.

SO DOPE. KEEP GOIN
I honestly though that Steve was speaking through the opener of this. He sounds exactly like his dad.
Ever since CHERRY I've tried to follow Olsen, super sick skater
we need that link to the song in the credits bad
a man of many interests and many talents
Loved this just skated got a new respect for alex saw more into what he did was cool
Crazy how he learned how to channel spirits from Shirley Ghostman with that breathing
Really enjoyed that
8:45 I've been to this spot many times while traveling, but it took me this long to realise Alex' last trick was - in fact - at MACBA…
Alex Olson is literally the realest person on this earth.
Anybody know where to find the outro music / last song? So good.
