alex fuming on the couch while his dad talks still the best part
The father/son dynamic is golden.
This is the most powerful father-son bond I think ive ever witnessed. The connection displayed sent shivers down my spine,and brought tears to my eyes.. this was so inspiring!
Watch the erik ellington one if you want to see something beautiful
Or Aaron “Jaws” homoke father-son relationship. Totally different and much better.
dont know what ya watched
His dad reminds me of Jack Nicholson
Your dad reminds me of Jack Nicholson, mate, if anyone’s does...
Man I'm 41 and I thought Steve Olsen was my age wow I'm getting old
@@jesus.rodriguezrodriguez9542 huh?
@@jesus.rodriguezrodriguez9542 are you thinking of Shorty's Steve Olsen?
"don't you ever fucking touch my finger again" where did that come from haha
lol
lol so funny yo
"so you schooled him?"
"No i took him out of school to un-school him.*foot touches his hand* don't ever touch my fucking hand again" hahahah, what a classy lad.
some people who come from a 'normal' family might look at this and think his dad is weird, but honestly I'm the same with my dad, just a different type of up bringing
+Felix Brown same lol
Felix Brown I mean he seems like a pretty cool dad
@@andrewb8235 exactly
@@ilikeemerica9619it’s a double edged sword on being a cool dad bc sometimes you just want your dad to be a dad n less of a friend
alex and steve need their own show!
Why? Steve was so cringe.
"it's fucked, I hate it" - description of everything in Alex's life besides a back lip or two
His dad is right about "unschooling" being a thing haha
The pressure he was under with Girl & Lakai had to be stopped, he also lived in a city where everyone was doing blunt slides down a 10 stair handrail & he was doing ollies over railings. He could never openly be his own type of skater so he hated everything & His dad wasn't helping since he seems to bug him a lot, i like to think that they do love each other, but idk. Nonetheless, he's in NYC now and he has Call me 917 & bianca chandon being successful brands. He seems a lot happier now but who knows, & tbh i dont really care just as long as he keeps doing no complies & making clothes, I'm happy.
Thank you, Dr. Phil....
he seems like he loves his dad but that living together was making him hate him, which i can def identify with. my mom is my favorite person in the world but i'm ready to flip after living at home for even like two weeks
Yo Alex you gotta cool ass dad... I know I never lived with him but always be grateful for your father and having him in your life cause I just lost my father a few weeks ago on Easter and as much as he drove me crazy at times I'd give ANYTHING to have him back... I wish my father was a pro skater and "unschooled" me with regular boring school but could've taught me how to skate... Anyway just be grateful for your father cause to me he seems like a pretty awesome guy and he was and always will be an awesome skater so bottom line enjoy him while he's around cause some day just like all of us he'll be gone and you'd give ANYTHING to have him back.. Keep shredding bro..
Feel like this was 5 years too early. needs a recap
this thanksgiving im grateful for Epicly Laterd
what a bizarre epicly laterd. the interview with him and his dad was twilight zone material.
🤣🤣🤣
Alex is a beast right now in William Strobecks videos
10 years later and he’s one of my biggest inspiration. being an owner of some of the coolest skate brands that’s out in recent years. alex is just such a character and so weird and so different but so cool. i love alex olson
his dad acts just like mine and im pretty pissed when im around him. i know that feel man
same here. Cant go anywhere publicly with him without him doing some stupid shit.
Yeah. Steve was pretty embarrassing.
@@finejustgivemeaname how?
A dream of a father/son dynamic...what a show!
I don't think Steve's weird or jealous or w.e toward alex. they just joke around with each other. a d Steve likes to get under his skin. but you can tell there's love there. both sides.
Nah man Steve pushed his son in many ways to be who he is in the skate scene.
Steve is so cringe in this
@@finejustgivemeaname damn dude you’re really not letting up... he’s being a dad around his kid bro stop caring so much.
Steve ‘Bulky’ Olsen was Skateboarder Magazine’s Skateboarder of the Year 1978 or 79. He signed that issue and one with his cover shot for me at a downhill slalom race in Breckinridge Colorado 2002.
I feel like I can relate to Alex personally I skate alone because my dad drinks allot and most of the time i want to be left alone. Im sure Alex wouldn't care if he were sponsored or not. Living in that type of home, skating for hours on end is the only way to keep yourself remotely sane
hope your doing good man
@johnbutler8694 actually yes! I'm still skating! I host music and art events for people in my home town. I I have found more people with similar backgrounds and we work together to give young people something to do.
*I'm a welder by trade* I drift and interview other drift drivers. Life is definitely what you make of it.
@@johnbutler8694 we have to flow with life the best we can
damn this is so hype- i read the original comment and i was like "man i hope that person is doing good now". glad to see things are going good for you. keep it going! sending you love!@@pleasantvalley9898
I just watch the father/son rippage over and over, it's actually my favourite thing on the internetz.
what Meza said about seeing dudes in real life is 100....been lucky to see julien sakte a few times IRL and his skating in person is insanely beautiful....
wow, looks like my life without the pro in anything
I see genuine love in this father son duo
great scene with the dad.
By far one of my favorite Epicly Later'd. I died when they were fighting every 3 seconds. 😂
alex and his dad have their roles reversed lol
" i cant get milk out of his tat" lmfaooooo
i’m just now seeing this and his dads a fuxking genius “The Trap”
Haha lmao almost ten years later, Alex admitted on nine club that it actually was called unschooling
😝😝😝
hahaha his dad is hilarious
When Alex is talking to Steve it sounds like something a dad would say to his kid
At least he knows his dad seriously both of them have always been one of the best and most stylish skaters of their generation s something went right
9:31 is the funniest part ever
Steve and Alex are amazing 😂
.. the dad who never grew up!! .. still glad Alex turned out ok!
i like the way how he tells: "school is a trap so I took him out and un-school him" ! hahah, that is genius !
I like the way he acts. I know that might sound strange, but it seems like all he cares about is skating, and he doesn't really care if he's on a team or not.
the father son dynamic was awesome
his dad is litteraly awsome
Him and his dad are just alike. That part was hilarious
Man he was ripping that mini ramp that was amazing I f/w Alex hard because he’s a good skater and interesting off the board in a unique way, no one like him💯
some people might say he has a muffed up life, but his dad loves him and that shows.this dudes legit.
He went on to make more money then all these guys first skater to be sponsored by designer brands and start his own high end skate brand dude made it
He's the product of a parent that can never be "the bigger person" it makes you get over a lot of the other bullshit.
Great vid!
❤❤god dang i love him and his dads relationship haha.
A lot of the comments are saying that Steve has done this or that to keep up with the Jones.Leave the man alone...He looks good He is doing his thing and getting away with it......Keep it going Steve..
This should be titled "Epicly Later'd: Alex Olsen's Dad"
One of the most awkward interviews I've seen. But still cool
I wanted to see what the girlfriend looked like.
Seems like a really rad dad son relationship
He's father drunk! lol love it hahaXD
Haha I can't tell if Alex and his dad hate each other or not
They don’t they are just virtually the same man.
i knew it was good, but i didn't know it was this good
too good yo
Damn rough to watch him be that uncomfortable around his dad, i get it man...
This is fucking hilarious.
You probably still like bam too
@@finejustgivemeaname ua-cam.com/video/nhRJnuCrAoM/v-deo.html
Haha his relationship to his dad is priceless
For the record... ALex Olson did his epicly later'd . Maybe you should make the next Alex Olson Docu~
It's incredible how it looks like the same as me and my father, plus I hate going out for a drink with him for exaclty the same reason...
Everyone in epically later'd is "that young dude"
His dad is freaking lunatic.
his dad is a skateboard legend.
+Rudi Tautscher Doesn't mean he isn't a freaking lunatic.
his contribution is weak..
My pops is the same way, I feel you Alex
I love his dad haha
Well, that was kind of a regular video, untill the dad came in 🤣
yeah there's a new full length vid by lakai coming out soon, its called fully flared and apparently its gonna change skateboarding forever
"well, too bad the internets down." hahaha
This reminds me of my relationship with my dad. Hahahahaha
Punk rock is skating on a board & this family is punk rock - not sad
the relationship between alex and steve is fucking rad!
people say alex changed but i think he just matured since this vid
hahaha dont ever touch my finger again!
this father son relationship seems toxic under all the jokes and smirks.
They seem like best friends to me🤷😂
watch their dual Nine Club interview. Steve is hilarious
Adult Alcoholic children usually have kids who are adult children of alcoholics... It’s a self perpetuating vicious cycle of codependent addiction with subtle abuse of power and toxic love intertwined until one reaches their limit and summons the courage to break free and break the cycle of selfish self destruction in the name of genuine sanity, healthy self esteem and self fulfilling determination self preservation... It is difficult, challenging, painful and possible... through healthy accountability, sacrifice and a healthy support network, guidance, acknowledgement of a higher power and faith...
best father and son combo of life lol
un-schooled ..... LOVE IT. How I wish I had such parent.
He's dad acts just like a 20 year old :D He's so cool
"How old was he?
and Steve is just casually thinking "3...4..........5"
Then Alexis like , "YOU'RE AN IDIOT! I WAS NOT 3 OR 4 OR 5!!!"
That had me rolling!!!!
Looked at the upload date and completely forgot he was on Lakai at one point. Shit, I feel like i'm getting old.
I love there bonding hahah I sortof have the same traits. Vice has good shit!
SKateboarding is everything! Try and watch some Epicly Later'd and you will se!
Steve = jack Nicholson
For some reason the thumbnail looks like it was drawn
yeah for real
Steve Olson is nuts
steve olson is the best
his dad seems cool, people saying they hate eachother or w/e obviously don't have similar relationships with anyone they know, where u annoy eachother but it doesn't matter
Aw I can tell there is so much tension, poor Alex! Move in with me.
Where is his mother though??? And why does no one even mention her?
the bitch don't skate so who cares..
+cashway0420 lol!
April Monard she had Alex up until 10 then his dad took him.
"This is my son-you should hook up" hahaha
haha this is so funny, steve rules
this was released like 4 years ago on vbs
At least im not stupid enough to think there's a new Lakai video in the works...
this dudes dad cool as shit! lmfao they think the same but opposite, cant explain it haha
They laugh at him about the unschooling but that stuff is actually legit. hahahah
Honestly his dad seems like a such a deadbeat, you can see alex low key hatin on him. People are stupid thinking he is cool
There is lots of other footage and even newer footage of Alex and his dad. I know it comes across as dysfunctional in this vid. But they actually have a great relationship.
Mr Olsen was the most interesting part of the thing...
These fellas got some jawlines on em
“How old was he?”
“3”
“Your an idiot!”
😂😂😂😂😂
Dude... Steve Olsons hair is fucking amazing
Good video
