Alex Olson

Alex Olson (born 1986) is a goofy-footed American professional skateboarder, company owner, and entrepreneur.

[7] At a young age, Olson found the artistic nature of Jason Dill's part in the Alien Workshop Photosynthesis video (2000) influential.

The scene that Jason Dill was part of in 2005 was thriving, including the popular skateboarding-influenced artists like Dan Colen and Dash Snow.

Olson has also modeled for the fashion label Eckhaus Latta, walking the runway for their Spring 2018 show.

[11] Olson included a clip of the runway walk in his skate part for The 917 Video, explaining the situation to The Bunt podcast: "These young kids have this brand Eckhaus Latta, and the kids that are around the area that they use are in the scene, so they asked [my girlfriend] if I wanted to walk the show...I didn't want to...what's the point?...I don't need the fucking Slap message-board to be going off...I was telling Logan... [but] if we film it..and put it in my video part..it would be hilarious to throw that in your part...as a trick..it's ridiculous and kinda good at the same time...so I got the hammer.”[5] Alex Olson turned pro for Girl in 2007/2008.

[7] “As a kid growing up, I never thought I would get sponsored by them because they were at such a higher level,”[12] A friendship with Guy Mariano is how Olson started skating for Girl.

Once Olson started releasing Bianca Chandon unisex clothing, he abandoned the number because it had lost its function, and as of 2019 it simply says "leave a message".

[17] His two brands, Bianca Chandon and Call Me 917, have made him "a highly visible model of the self-taught skater-turned-entrepreneur.
