Classics: Steve Olson "Fulfill the Dream"

[@_Just.Chris_]

This video went platinum in my neighborhood.

[@christianmenendez5284]

Oh no doubt. That shit was all city!

[@zachb1494]

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.

[@backpackLa]

facts this video changed my life

[@axis2010]

I'm 35 now. I started skating in 1999 and this was the first video I watched. Steve's part was my favorite.

[@RibR0a5t]

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.

[@walmartian]

+RibR0a5t fuck yea bro we used to watch this/rewind/fast forward every night before passing out.. or the blind video

[@KemberSide]

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.

[@Zombiepicnik]

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.

[@Cognitive__Dissonance]

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 🙏🏻

[@bloodshredfromouterspaceskates]

I had a bootleg VHS of this video😅

[@Nominay]

This dude was gnarly. He didn't care how anyone else skated and was just unafraid, in his own world.

[@Mikemonoa-hz2rz]

Stone cold Steve Olson the goat 🐐 👌

[@soifonbankai]

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!

[@gadfanad]

I tore that cover off and taped it to my wall when I was about 14.

[@ShogunateDaimyo]

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.

[@theoldblood3804]

Steve Olson was my favorite part as a kid watching vids

[@tomselleck5560]

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.

[@saulrodriguez6990]

I'm here 10 years later still loving it

[@aurteekay6339]

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!!!

[@pizzaface4628]

Aurteekay what shop? 35th north?

[@maccmoses]

Where is the shop

[@joshbarth9469]

He's talking about All A Board in Puyallup.

[@ufotofu9]

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!

[@joshbarth9469]

@@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 KZbin. He goes by Crazy Monk.

[@theharvester97]

Thanks lizard your broke my ears

[@tylerrobertsonskateboarding]

My dog and cats are trippin after that 😅

[@morgellon9449]

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.

[@Sramnaukraine]

I used to watched this video of Steve before I went to skateboarding, Watching him gave me so power to try to sick tricks.

[@Teknakill]

Saved my knees.

[@Mixwell1983]

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.

[@GraftedOliveBranch]

What's the song called? It sounds awesome

[@CaptainPartyFoul]

The whole soundtrack to it 🔥🔥🔥

[@LxPxRxPunk]

I watched that line at minute 3:47 at least five times. Thats as 90s as it gets. Thank you Steve !!!!

[@TJALOL]

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.

[@corpr8dystopia778]

very articulate and analytical skateboarder. a true master of board management.

[@ricktangster6058]

This part/whole video was ahead of its time, brings back lots of nostalgia.

[@jerkinjosh]

This is my favorite part ever

[@BigErnMcCracken777]

Steezy sketch style with the Gravediggaz playin is OP🤘😈

[@nickvarley8256]

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

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.

[@vallo220]

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

[@davidbarton3044]

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

Are there two skateboarding Steve Olson's? Somebody posted Fullfill the Dream and I wondered whatever happened to this guy, but when I looked him up, a 58 year old Steve Olson comes up, so it can't be the same guy. He would have been 36 when he skated in this so I know that can't be right.

[@KuriousJoe1]

One of the craziest parts I've witnessed with my two eyes. Even in today's standards.

[@maccmoses]

Used to skate with him in Tacoma Wa. He had a mini ramp in his front yard in Manitou,back in the day.

[@erikbreaman9124]

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..
