Alex Olson Separates (917) + Bianca Chandon | Plus Europe, songs, Olympic benefits, +
Got to hand it to those Germans, they are efficient and know how to do a skateboard interview. This banger with in-VOGUE skateboarder/company owner Alex Olson is in-depth covering everything you’d want to know about (917) and Bianca Chandon. They also go on tangents about Europe, video part song choices, the Olympics, and much more.
Since there’s too much on his companies – much of it very interesting – here’s Alex’s thoughts on skateboarding in the Olympics:
It is kind off a weird one but is there any question that you wanted people to ask you?
Uhm.. I don’t know. I am sure I have thought of that before but obviously, it is a hard one to think of right now. You know skateboarding is moving in a weird direction right now, but it is a good direction…. The thing I can’t stand is all those people that cry about “core skateboarding” and the Olympics, the Olympics is the newest thing for those people right now. That’s evolution, why do you care? Skateboarding could have been in the Olympics in 1970 and could you imagine people crying about that now? Obviously, there weren’t that many tricks back then but skateboarding evolved, you don’t see anybody crying over that evolution. Skateboarding in the Olympics doesn’t personally affect anyone, the only thing the Olympics will do is spend money and that money will help skateboard companies make money. I don’t think the Olympics are going to be goofier than for example the X-games or the Dew tour.
