Skater, surfer, model, company owner, yogi-Alex can’t be pigeonholed as just one thing. Zoom out to see the whole picture, from 917 back to his home state of CA.

This is called being manic
yo I loved this style of content
steakboarding makes you a better person. you learn how to learn, you learn to love what you do, you learn perseverance, the list goes on...
Lol I dont know how I got here but this is pretty dope and this dude smokes the best weed its obvious lol
anyone know how to have multiple images outside of your canvas in photoshop like he does at 19:10
he on that rickson gracie breathing shit that's dope
Alex is one of a kind and I love that about him. His music sounds sick too
you guys should do one of these on Brian "Slash" Hansen. Where the fuck is that guy?
Haha, i feel like i relate do his mind way to much.
When B.A says "he looks good" produces a nervous shivery apprehension of a creepy feeling also eerie.
Alex has become a spitting image of Dennis Wilson.
Love me some alex, fucking legend
He's slowly becoming his dad....
Random statement: NIKE $ be soo legit it flips the reclusive billionaire switch.. truth!
Alex is looking good for 40
Imagine being his roomie
He should read 'Scattered mInds by Gabor Mate"
Alex Olson on his rickson Gracie shit
I love Dylan graves
"Mom was pregnant with my brother" 😳😳😳
The music disease and having a million projects taking up brain space is real
He's just like me, a lot of disparate interests. Only I'm not interested enough in putting any of them into action.
U can do it 👍🏽
"So there's a premiere for the company, but i acidentally shit into one of my Tibetan bowls and then listened to it on my headphones and it was just farts, so my organs got dirty, but my dad was surfin the couch and i told him he's an asshole, i was over it."
NO THAT SHOULD NOT BE DUSTY
Alex needs to hire some new graphic designers for 917
need that credits song
great to see this! love the tunes Alex!
a man of many interests and many talents
Crobbbbbbb!
He’s like the OCD, ADD madlovechild of Willy Wonka and Donatella Versace doing sick ass sidewalk surfing tricks driving around in a Benz growing his many moustaches. The frontfeeble fs180 out in FullyFlared will never leave my memory, always loved his high speed skate or die style- he’s matured into a bit of a kook, which is cool. Lots like Steve
WHATEVER MAKES HIM HAPPY
Sick Guy
Fuck yeah kid. Saw BA at the brick nj bowl recently and man he is so down to earth. 🤘 loved the Ace ad in thrasher recently. I know Freddy had to have brought them to that spot. Fawk yeah
Tbh I don’t see what people like about this guy he’s mad corny lmaoooo
lol i cant believe a celebrity wanted the public to see this
Is it bad that I was laughing my ass off during the breathing exercises?
@4:43 that hot as piece of lasagna fresh out the oven would be perfectly cooled off for your next bite
alex olson? not washed. boss man
I just made the 421´st comment. My b
This guy reminds me of Jason Jesse's impersonation of an artist.
Das my birthday 🎂
4:51 what the fuck did I just watch
3:29 fucking gross
ID for the last track
As a lefty guitar mad scientist myself, I'd have that guitar up n running prime quick😁
What a weirdo! Dude fell off!
That one routine where he cleanse out his organs, whats that called? Idk how to spell it so i can't get more info on it
10:05 wow nice tre flip
"They're buying cars, I'm buying synthesizers" I feel that, I even have a MS-20mini Respect on that OG 808 though, I only have the TR-8...
Alex has a top-shelf skate style.
Anyone know the name of the outro song?
He's such an ideas man. He has no action what so ever. Just an echo chamber of vapidity. No real talent beyond skateboarding, just accept it dude. You're a good skater and handsome, but not much else lmao
Mr cool guy over here
Been waiting for this.... Olson is a character man.
Have you ever wondered what your purpose in life is? If all of human history will one day be destroyed, than does your legacy really matter? Does what your putting all of your effort into make a difference in the long run? The answer is yes it does but probably not for the reason you think. God is eternal and he created you as an eternal being and so your purpose is actually eternal. You were made for relationship. God thinks relationship is so important that he actually died on a cross to show how serious he is about wanting a relationship with you. You see God is love and the only way that you can love someone is by knowing the source. He gives you a new heart as you surrender your old heart to Him. So if you want to know what this is like I invite you to right now ask God for forgiveness. Turn away from your sinful lifestyle and give your heart to the one who cares. Jesus has changed my life and he wants to change yours too. If you have a bible I encourage you to read the gospel of John and ask God to change your heart. Have a blessed day!
That mercedes is drippy.
This got me a good routine to start meditating, thanks alex.
Alex is awesome
Fully Flared, King Diamond, Alex Olson = Classic part!
Always enjoyed listening to AO talk. I find his humor pretty funny, too
I'm not really into the whole meditation thing but it's cool to see it work for him, he seems genuinely more chill and calmed down as a person.
What he call that breathing technique? Nallie?
check my channel
Get that guy some adderall
The technique he uses is very similar to a technique I’ve seen some martial artists do
pro not pro
my god, he straight up pulled out a 808 all dusty like it was my ps1, big flex my man
Rest in peace, Dylan
the last track was nice.
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
Legend!!
This guy is sooo coooool maaan
Parker
like like like like like like like....this is the weirdest thing i ever watched
Anyone got an ID on the last track
not one of my favorite skaters skill wise but definitely one of my favorites when you think about what this guy spends his time on
Anybody know where to find the outro music / last song? So good.
Surf when you can't skate, and skate when you can't surf, and skimboard when it rains...
This guys brain is like in overdrive, I feel like its a mirror image of mine. Except he is successful and completes projects and I don't.
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.
Cool guy. Mans def got ADHD... I have it and tahts exactly how your brain works.
Rolling your diaphragm is legit it is super good for you and the breathing exercises as well.. Alex is a little nuts(in a good way) but overall very smart guy!
Rickson and his son Kron Gracie who are well known in the BJJ community do similar breathing exercises to what Alex was doing
dude has gotta have ADHD (the actual disorder, not just like "oh im hyper and can't focus lol"); that thing about hyperfocusing on new interests and it taking over your head and never finishing anything is way too real
As someone with ADHD, I had this EXACT thought, as well. It's gotta be ADHD with how creative but all over the place he is. A blessing and a curse, really.
I fucking love those glasses
Wait but what’s he like now cuz it was focusing on him now but then it was just all shit from 3 years ago
What a load of bullshit all that meditation and stomach stuff. This is up there with eli Reed doing the boogle boogle dance in Jamaica.. Brilliant
Who in the actual F wants to be a pro skater in NYC? I dont get it
Alex is my favorite skateboarder. This was a great interview. I hope he comes out with more footage.
dude looks sickly skinny
fuckin kook!
last song s so nice
That music at the end was so good
So this is what was keeping him from running 917 properly
This guy still skates? i couldve sworn he was building cellos these days or something obscure like that
Great vid
He needs a manager to deal with all the logistics so he can focus on being creative. He is a special soul. 💖
Damn sick rider!!!
This was good but cannot comprehend who wants to skate a 14.75 wheelbase. Ridiculous
Whats ridiculous about that
A skate version of Jared Leto.. Dude looks like exactly like him!
